Here's a lengthy but interesting KJVO thread at BaptistBoard.com on the origins of the KJVO movement. The thread is interesting because contributors include Baptist missionaries and pastors, and because it references some first-hand experiences with Baptist Bible schools and churches during the early years of the KJVO movement. Beware the last few pages; a couple KJVO folk try hijacking the thread and it starts to deteriorate into typical KJVO-style salvation questioning and red herring flinging.

One explanation of the error in 1) the KJV's translation of Psalm 12, and 2) the KJVO interpretation of this Psalm as a proof text for their preservation doctrine. Another treatment of this error.
