Roderick C. Meredith - A Biographical Sketch

By Redfox

Bob Fahey was called by HWA as the man most worthy to lead
the church but was soon relegated to a lower position by Meredith
supporters (AR18 December 1981).
WCG has gone through a lot of turmoil but through it all Meredith
seems to have weathered this storm and continues to be a high
ranking official of WCG. Many tithe paying members were lost
but WCG seems to be able to come back from these trying times.
All appears to be - pretty much - fine as 1982 begins.
After the turmoil of the 1970s things finally seem to settle down
in WCG. Although Meredith had some private disagreements
with HWA, such as makeup, for instance, he was willing to follow
HWA's lead. All seemed well. Any internal threat had been
removed. Only loyal minions remain. In this setting this narrative
now continues.
By 1981 after years of turmoil stability returned to WCG. Anyone
bold enough to publicly disagree with HWA's autocracy have
been kicked out or learned to be quiet. Although even Meredith
had to spend several months in exile in Hawaii he came through
still pretty much in the good graces of the (alleged) Apostle
Herbert W. Armstrong.
