Aren't these questions tautological - if you believe that there is no-one more Protestant than Wood, then you cannot say that you are more Protestant than Wood, can you? And if you believe that you are more P- than Wood, he therefore cannot be the most P- person on the ship - I think?

I'm more of a Protestant than Wood; whatever everyone else thinks, I will protest against it.
And Ian Paisley certainly has his good points.

I haven't voted because I don't understand the question. Could Wood please explain why he thinks he is the most protestant person here, and why?
I have read his profile and some of his web site, and they indicate that he is very creative but not that he is very protestant (apart from a bald assertion of that fact in his profile, but anyone can say that)!
Does Wood have some ultra-protestant writings that I can peruse? Can we see pictures of him indulging in very protestant behaviours? Enquiring minds want to know!

Ignore the wee idiot, let's keep the bitching here.
Wood, you're either afraid of exposing your fraudulent claims or you're writing a big-ass defense of your non-conformist zeal.
Which is it? You're deceiving no-one here. We will not be duped by your rhetoric.

OK - here's a question to decide who is the most Protestant. The first one to reply wins a point.
Question 1
On which day does the Church celebrate the solemn feast of Sts Cranmer, Latimer and Ridley?

I object to the labeling of particular men as saints; only God knows the heart. Saints days are because the CofE is only partially Reformed.

I am FAR more Protestant than either Wood or JK. Were not the Goths responsible for the Sack of Rome in 410? Do I not go to a Baptist church? Do I not possess a 'Cults and Heresies' book which has as its first chapter 'Roman Catholicism'? Did I not find St Mark's (Venice) a depressing and over-ornamented place, an argument for Not Being a Catholic?

Alaric T G - we haven't even started boasting of our credentials yet, just answering standard Q's.
Church tradition is historically responsible for the misleading the church. Using a stole is meaningless and the colour of it is therefore irrelevant.

Change the line of questioning AnglicanRascal, my answer to Q.2 is along the same lines as the second part of my answer to Q.1
The Goths weren't really protestants, although sacking Rome would be a good way of protesting.
Wood as regards propaganda I simply meant the quote at the top of the thread; I don't think you have some secret Protestant manifesto stashed away somewhere.

-1 point. Stoles are Romish and therefore a tool of the Devil. The same goes for Albs, Chasubles, Dalmatics and Tunicles. For the proper way to deal with use of such items, see the Announcements of Divine Service and Clerical Vestures Ordinance 1949 from Sydney Diocese.

Only in a sociological, rather than a doctrinal sense! Unless genuflecting before the blessed sacrament and venerating our Lady are protestant practices.

I protest. That's worth 2 points at least.
Concerning bishops - most of them are so apostate that they don't deserve mention. Regarding the term "bishop", it is a valid translation of the original text, though in my fellowship we prefer the term "pastor".
Romish Albs? The devils DIY toolkit I'm sure, but I don't make it my priority to know more about RCs than is necessary (and I include High-Anglicans and indeed, most Anglicans under the term RC, although there is a handful of well-meaning misled amongst them).

Thank you for the point, but I was being economical with the truth! See here for proof of my perfidy! Still, I could have learnt Latin for the express purpose of revealing Popish trickery!
