Roderick C. Meredith - A Biographical Sketch

By Redfox

In the Gary Bagley trial Mr. Bagley tried to subpoena Meredith
to demonstrate how widespread knowledge of GTA's immorality
was. Helge argued that a subpoena for Meredith should be
ignored in Gary Bagley court case (AR4 June 1978). He was later
excused from testifying after Helge sent written statements saying
he knew nothing relevant to the case.(AR9 June 1979).
Sheryl Meredith complained that she became hard of breathing
after just ten minutes in the poisoned Ambassador library which
had not recovered from a botched fumigation.
1979: The Receivership. HWA decided to cooperate with the
State of California at first and on January 3 appointed C. Wayne
Cole to cooperate with the authorities. But HWA was soon
persuaded otherwise and betrayed Cole giving those opposing the
receivership his blessing, including Roderick Meredith. On
January 4 they called a meeting. When Cole tried to present his
side of the story Meredith physically seized him and, with help
from supporters, cast him off the stage. On Saturday he
announced the disfellowshipment of four officials said to have
aided the receivers, including Robert Kuhn (who in his post-
armstrongite life would emerge as a multi-millionaire). That day
he sent security agents to try and change the locks of the college
administration building but were blocked off by the State's
security men. Rader tried to whitewash it as people simply doing
normal business. The Receiver was forced to hire extra security
due to his attempted obstructions (AR#7, January 1979).
Appointed Director of pastoral administration worldwide
(Worldwide News, January 15, 1979, pp. 1 & 16).
