Rod Meredith on how he thought ministers should be in the end times

Tomorrow's World, July/August 1970

In 1970, Rod Meredith described what he thought ministers in the COG should be like in the end times.  The quotes above certainly do NOT describe any 

Living Church of God minister or leader today.  

"Without fear or favor..."

Current leaders of all the spinter groups do all they can to not offend anyone around.

Meredith's description does not even describe Bob Thiel, James Malm and the other henchmen currently leading various splinter groups. 

Who would have ever guessed that 48-years later 

the COG would be run by such weak, namby-pamby men?

nam·by-pam·byˌnambēˈpambē/
adjective

derogatory

1.
lacking energy, strength, or courage; feeble or effeminate in behavior or expression.
"these weren't namby-pamby fights, but brutal affairs where heads hit the sidewalk"

DO NOT ask questions, especially twiggy ones!

Most colleges and universities encourage students to ask questions. Good churches also let members ask questions. So what about Ambassador College?

"One year a First Year student started studying all types of twiggy
questions about the Bible. He used books like, "The Age of Reason". Months later
he left college, but not before he had seriously affected several other First Years.
Anything like this should be reported to the ministers immediately . The damage
that can be done by such an individual should not be underestimated. Watch for
others who may be religious hobbyists, studying Billy Graham, Jehovah's Witnesses,Mormonism, and us. Don't preach to them, but set a proper example to them, and keep an eye on them. Keep Mr. Hunting Informed."
