    Which KJV might that be stilllearning as the AV1611 and the AV1769 are not in 100% agreement?

    In addition "expository preaching" is not a guarantee of doctrinal correctness.

    How about this, any English translation (even a NWT) can be corrected by the Greek and/or Hebrew and not the other way around as certain KJVO leaders claim.

    The reason there is not more "expository preaching" as you claim might be 1) this very attitude of the KJVO leadership and 2) the churches you have visited are not a good cross-section.

    IMO Pastors/preachers who know the original languages (either formally or self taught) are more likely to "preach expositorily" rather than those who follow after the attitude of "onlyism" (IMO).

    Today in this age of computers and the internet tools, it is not even necessary to learn the original languages to preach/teach in an expository way.

    It does take wisdom however to filter through the nonsense on the web.

    And wisdom is ours as a promise just for the asking (unlike Solomon who had to be prompted to ask).

    James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

    So, IMO, lack of diligent study and taking God at His Word about asking for wisdom is the most likely reason for poor preaching not the translation one uses and the naive attitude concerning God's purpose of translations.​

    1 Jn 2:20,27 talks about an anointing in the sense of being the Lord's "anointed ones". Undoubtedly this nowhere refers to the act of preaching or unction / anointing thereon.
