Not only is it a mis-translation, it's a mis-translation of something that was wrong to begin with. 'Veted', (whatever that means), or not.

... veted?
Does he mean "vetoed" or "vetted"?
Wait a minute. Neither of those words make sense, either!

Your family hasn't read anything else for generations? Not even a schoolbook? Well, that explains some things.

The KJV is the only thing he and his family have read for generations? That explains so, so much.
Edit: Oops, beaten by Blackvoice.

"Are you telling me that I'm reading a mis-translation?"
Not only that, it's a translation of BULLSHIT.

I don't condemn anyone.
Sure you don't, and bears don't shit in the woods either.
People condemn themselves when they reject the Savior.
Because you couldn't possibly be wrong, after all you have a book that says you are right. And no one's ever written a book of fiction either. You are just shifting the blame so you don't have to come to the realization that your "god" is a malevolent and immoral douchebag who you believe condemns people to eternal torture because they didn't kiss his ass in just the right way.
My bible is the KJV.
So. Your point is what?
is the only word that my family and I have read for generations.
That explains so very, very much. You poor thing! I'm so sorry to hear that.
Are you telling me that I'm reading a mis-translation?
Yes. That is exactly what I'm says. And the parts that aren't mis-translated are still utter bullshit fairy tales.
Its been veted
"Vetted"? By whom? What makes that person qualified to do so? Not a single book in the entire KJV was translated from an original manuscript, or even a single manuscript. It was translated from the Textus Receptus which in turn was simply the scripture or version of scripture that the different patriarchates of the eastern orthodox church could all agree on.

Yep, charliejohn. You've been reading a mistranslation, not only that but the mistranslation of another mistranslated account. Also I think, don't quote me on this but I think that he his trying to say voted, even though language is the kind of thing where I can look at this word ( cabrón ) and say it means dog. In truth it means something that is closer to describing you charliejohn.
EDIT:
Okay since the site doesn't like Greek let me try Spanish.

Vetting is a process of examination and evaluation, generally referring to performing a background check on someone before offering him or her employment. In addition, in intelligence gathering, assets are vetted to determine their usefulness.
umm..I DOUBT that you "veted" the KJV...unless you are a time traveler.

I don't condemn anyone. People condemn themselves when they reject the Savior.
Unless you provide a citation outside of your bible that this is true, then no, it is in fact you who are condemning people.
My bible is the KJV. It is the only word that my family and I have read for generations.
Good for you. Want a cookie?
Are you telling me that I'm reading a mis-translation?
It doesn't matter when the source is untrue to begin with.
Its been veted. Next.
OK.

Well, 'mistranslation' and 'vetted' are not in the KJV, so I suppose he's telling the truth here. I don't think the contraction 'it's' is in there either, but I might be mistaken.

We're dealing with two meanings of the word condemn here (yes, words can have multiple meanings). One of them is what you indeed do. The other, assuming "the Savior" exists and cares about humans, is something rather different.
Now lets talk about word meanings again. Translators sometimes have to choose between different meanings a word or phrase may have in the source language. Sometimes words and phrases just don't translate well. I think I'd rather have scholars without a vested interest in what the text actually says give me a translation into the version of English I actually speak and understand. Which is another point. Language changes. That's another reason to have a team of good impartial scholars on the job; they can differentiate the meaning of text from this period that may use the same words as that period, but they mean something different in that period than this one. Doesn't that seem like a reasonable thing to ask for before you give your whole life over to worshiping a book?

Yes, it is a mistranslation of multiple mistranslations of a collection of generally incorrect, misogynistic, vicious, and out-of-date manuscripts. Next.

How was the KJV "vetted" if I may ask? Who "vetted" it?
Pulling it from your rear orifice does not count.

Yep. Not only that, it's a mistranslation of a mistranslation, commissioned by a homosexual king!

Yes, you are reading a mistranslation. The KJV isn't the original bible. Not to mention the many transcripted versions that came before the printing press. It's a good chance that what you're reading is so far off the mark that it's no longer "God's infallible word".

It's been edited for context, on the orders of King James.
I suggest you learn Aramaic or Hebrew and read the original texts.
Oh, that is 'vetted' not 'veted'.

Specifically it's been vetted and found lacking. They went in, tried to vet it, and found out it was bullshit.
