http://www.mcn.net/~wleman/glossi.htm#kjv-onlyism
The belief that the King James Version (KJV), also known as the Authorized Version (AV), is the only version of the Bible which English speakers should use. This belief has a number of claims, some of which are that the KJV is the only "inspired" version in English, it is the only version which God has "preserved" for the English language, it is the only accurate version in English. Some KJV-Onlyism adherents deny that the English language has changed enough since the publication of the KJV in 1611 A.D. to warrant any other English version. Many KJV-Onlyism adherents refer to themselves as "Bible believers", implying that anyone else who uses a version of the Bible other than the KJV do not believe the Bible. Some include "KJV" in the term, calling themselves "KJV Bible believers." Some KJV-Onlyism adherents believe in "corrective revelation", that is, that the KJV translators were so guided by the Holy Spirit as they translated that they corrected the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek texts. Final written revelation for them resides in the KJV text, rather than in the original Biblical documents.

KJBOs (e.g. Ruckman, Riplinger, Gipp) are careful to distinguish themselves from OKJBs (Only King James; e.g. Waite, TBS, Cloud) and TROs (e.g. NKJ committee, Hodges, Farstad). This chart shows where the overlap and where they don't. >(http://www.biblebelievers.com/KJVvsTR.html)

KristiUltimately, the KJOers mean well, in that they believe they are "defending God's Word," but they are actually casting doubt upon God's Word, since they attempt to undermine the NIV (and other modern Bible versions, as well as ancient Biblical manuscripts). Many of them do not hesitate to refer to God's Word as "trash".
