Not surprisingly, I'm still confused. Could you hold my hand?

Here's what I've got --

This is my table --

CREATE TABLE churchmail (
   email varchar(30) NOT NULL
);

It has one field containing 40,000 email addresses.

I have a text file -- remove.txt, which contains 1,500 email addresses
which need to be removed from the churchmail table. The database is 
named midtn. I think it's the two WHERE clauses that are throwing me. 
Whatever it is, I remain stuck, and would appreciate assistance. I'd 
like to do this on the command line, no PHP.

Thanks,
Robert
