To all those who are interested:
I'm what some of my friends would call a very religious guy. For a while, I've been searching for a good Java Bible program, preffereably KJV or NKJV (in my opinion, the most accurate). I've managed to stumble into a version called Go Bible. They had 2 setups that could have been used. First, you could upload individual books or you can upload the whole bible. The Rumkin uploader worked great for uploading the individual books, but would not upload the whole 1.5MB file. So, I decided to take matters into my own hands.
This took several hours of research, trial and error, and attempts. I wanted to host the files off my laptop, since the files aren't that big. I have a G4 iBook 1.2 Ghz on a 3 meg cable connection (not sure on upload). The first thing when I found out that the Appache web server defaults to text MIME type if it's unrecognizable. I then found out that you had to have a .htaccess file within the current site directory to set the MIME type. Still nothing. Finally, I had to config the httpd.conf and [Username].conf files within the /private/etc/httpd and users/ directory, respectively to enable override of the exisiting config files. I also had to edit the .jad file to prevent the dreaded "Invalid Descriptor" error. During this time, my college roommate decided to be a prick and screw up the port addressing on the router (he took the default http port 80 for himself) and forced me to resort to port 81). So yes, took me several hours of work. But once i got it running, it downloaded. And it worked!!!
So, ok, my laptop is still running. I can get a max of 30 or 40k for uploading, so I hope there isn't too much demand for this file. So now, I've decided to share the Good News (pun intended). Point your wap browsers to:
http://66.189.124.68:81/~Vadim/KJV.jad
If your phone won't support java files larger than 100k, then you're out of luck. This is a makeshift setup so if you notice anything strange, ignore it.
Enjoy!!!

Edit: The SMS feature will not work. I believe it locks up the phone. Current Sprint application developers will realize it's because this application doesn't have the $400 VeriSign Java Level 3 certificate needed to access some of the restricted APIs of the phone (mobile messaging being one of them).
