Roderick C. Meredith - A Biographical Sketch

By Redfox

We must look at the big picture (My paraphrase)'. Presumably he
means the 'soon coming' Great Tribulation. In their Bible Study
Course, Lesson 2, Part 2, p. 7 (December 2000) they 'suggest' that
'the end' will occur in 2017, just 12 years in the future from here.
If it is Satan's fault then LCG cannot be blamed. I hope he is trying
to confront this issue, ideally by letting members marry more
widely, but I am unaware of any such moves, beyond staging
singles events. He admits that he will make some changes in the
interview with The Journal if memory serves correctly but he
does not directly address any specific issue.
The resources on this tragedy are too numerous and varied to be
discussed here.
After discussing the tragedy Cartwright and Meredith discuss
how a New Zealand LCG member was last year threatened with
disfellowshipment for distributing The Journal, which caused
him to stop attending. Meredith replies that LCG has no policy on
this matter.
June 14: John Ogwyn, author of LCG's Bible Study Course
and some of their booklets, dies. A tribute to him may be seen
in p. 3 of July-August 2005 Living Church News and his obituary
is also shown on p. 27. The Journal also mentioned his death.
June 30: Spanky’s “Canons of Evangelistic Discipline of the
Living Church of God”.
Douglas Winnail ordained as Evangelist (September 29 update).
