Contact the new pastor and tell him he's a Ruckmanite. Post his response.

Yeah, different pastor. Reason? You can't be pastor while in prison (or else Jack would still be pastor at FBCH).

Hence, using Vinny's "logic", any one he accuses of being a Ruckmanite is one. Denying it just means they are.
Salem witch trials come to mind.

Nope. A Ruckmanite is a person who believes Peter Ruckman's doctrine that the KJV is the Word of God. Because this doctrine is not found in the KJV, they are not "King James Only." They are Ruckmanites.

I believe that the KJV is the result of the preserved Word of God translated into English. Over the years, some of its words have become obsolete.

Well, that's good.

I would use the word "archaic" and the difference in the use of the word "obsolete" and "archaic" is probably the major difference in why I would stay with the KJV and you might prefer a more modern version.

I'm not sure of the difference you are trying to make; per the dictionary, obsolete means "out of use for the past century" and archaic means "commonly used in an earlier time, but rare in present-day usage".
I would submit that both apply: words like lasciviousness are archaic, but not obsolete, but words like holpen and carriages are, I believe, obsolete.

Obsolescence has a sense that it must be replaced, while archaic is just fine being that way.

I'm fine with archaic instead of obsolete then, but I don't think obsolete words means that they must be replaced.
Whether archaic or obsolete if the reader does not understand what he is reading, it does not edify. I read the word "leasing" in Psalms for years (& not understand it) before I did what I should have done the first time and looked it up.
I'm staying with the KJV too, but I'm not ignoring real issues with it -- I heard from a pastor that people whose first language is not English have a hard time with the older words that are no longer used (leasing, carriages, holpen)... not to mention my "favorite" -- "mansions", which is on old English word meaning "apartments". The song "I've got a mansion just over the hilltop" makes me smile to myself.
