It's a simple request...James Malm

James Malm said:  "It appears that the Scarborough’s really had no case after all, and this seems to have been egged on and even orchestrated if not by Dennis Diehl himself  [a former elder fired from WCG and now seemingly full of bitterness against anything associated with the COG],  then by the inveterate liars at the anti God website Banned by HWA."

I asked and James said.....

   Nothing in your comment is true or accurate. So make peace my friend and take the reference out. You don’t want the BannedHWA blog owner on you with 4000 COG hits a day wanting you to correct it

   James said : "So I am to believe you? and cower before your threats? Your close association with an egregious liar deprives you of any and all credibility. No one can believe a word you say. I have been regularly lied about by the Banned folks for years as have many others, and you tough guys are now attacking an old lady with a pack of lies, and I should care about your threats?

   
   

   Either you have a very thin skin for people who make a career out of attacking others; or I have hit too close to the mark for your comfort. James"
2.  It is not about thin skin or "bitterness" either. I don't consider myself bitter about anything but rather educated as to why I no longer take the positions concerning church, the  Bible and  The One Man Show I used to take in my naive and good intentioned youth and Church years. 
3. It is about a published inaccurate statement that I would like corrected.  Anyone would ask the same thing.  That's not asking a whole lot.  Perhaps Ms. Scarborough would like to answer the question as to ever having known or been in contact with me over this issue.  
4. Also, I am sorry you feel anyone is picking on an "old lady".  Family members are the source of the concerns and no one is making it up.  If what they say is not so, then have a chat with them and ask them, not us, why they feel as they feel. And, if what they say is inaccurate, then ask them to correct it and explain why.  Simple...
5. Also, the good folk at Banned HWA are not making a career of attacking others.  Others bring it on themselves with their outlandish theological ideas, opinions, callings, silliness and narcissistic behaviors that hurt many other good folk who for whatever reasons can't see the forest for their ministerial trees.  Noticing the crazy behaviors and written statements of belief is not attacking.  It is noticing and standing up to it which is something their members don't seem to have the ability or the energy to do. 
6. Banned is a way for those who see what we have seen and feel what we have felt about our own experiences and conclusions without judgment or even have to reveal who they are or their affiliation.  4000 views a day must mean something here is of interest to not a few. 
7. Perhaps you could list the specific areas where you feel others have lied about you and show why others are being unfair or inaccurate in their observations about your publicly printed views.  After all, if you are going to declare yourself and have others declare you the expert on all things Bible, you may find others taking issue with that from time to time.
8. I am sure if you feel you have been deeply wronged, misunderstood or lied about, you could clarify that on this site if you wished rather than use your own hurts to justify not correcting a simple matter when you are proven wrong and giving out misinformation.  You have not hit close to home. You missed completely.  
9. You chose to post your response to my simple private request publicly on your website, so you'll have to forgive me if I post mine here.  

Regards
Dennis

Roderick C Meredith: Why is he so vindictive? Why does he consider church division worse than murder and child molestation?

Buried in the letter from Elizabeth Scarborough that was posted on the weekend was the following information that came out in court proceedings and was  made by Rod Meredith:

I’m sure the hours and hours of deposition transcripts would make salacious and eye-opening reading for many. At one point, Rod Meredith said that if it were up to him we would NEVER be allowed to attend ANY church of God again. It gave me goosebumps! And he thinks that’s a converted attitude?! Praise God that decision is not his. Meredith also said that “causing church division is worse than murder or child molestation”. Ironic since he’s formed two churches through division himself and we never caused or urged a single person to leave LCG. He used this as his defense as to why McNair called the pastor of our new church and attempted to get us kicked out of that church too. Apparently, it wasn’t enough for them to kick us out of LCG. They’d prefer that we not be able to attend ANY church EVER. So very Christian of them.

What absolute vindictive arrogance for Meredith to wish he welded that much power.  No Church of God minister has ever had that power, not even Herbert Armstrong.

Rod Meredith has always been a vindictive man.  In the mid to late 70's when he battled and succeeded in having Garner Ted removed from the church, Meredith lashed out at all of the people close to GTA.  From secretaries to friends, the broad swipe of Meredith's vindictiveness hit.  Instead of talking to each of these people on where their loyalties lay, he sent out scores of disfellowshipment letters.  No one was allowed to contest the letters or ask questions.  They were immediately fired, disfellowshipped and publicly marked.

Meredith's next public display of his vindictive nature happened in Tucson, AR when he stood on the stage in front of the ministry of the Worldwide Church of God at its ministerial conference and proceeded to smear the name and reputation of Leona McNair.  He lied on that stage and thought he got away with it.  She sued him and won because he could not keep his mouth shut.

Once that lawsuit had been paid for and represented by WCG attorneys, Meredith quickly jumped ship with Raymond McNair to start the Global Church of God.    Both of these men, in their arrogance, deliberately brought division into the church.  They did all in their power to try and woo as many members away from WCG as they could, along with their money.  Meredith knew he were ready to get fired and by starting a new church it was guaranteed income.

Once ensconced in Global, Meredith's arrogance and vindictive nature kept rearing its ugly head.  Eventually the leadership of Global got sick of how nasty the man was and voted him out.  McNair, the ever loyal but buffoonish lap poodle, decided he would would run the church to smooth things out.  Meredith felt betrayed by McNair and quickly lashed out while in collusion with other elders and deacons (including a pedophile) and started Living Church of God, taking most of Global's money with them.  This action was deliberate and meant to humiliate Raymond McNair, which it did.

Raymond McNair and his wife Eve eventually did something that many consider to be a most appalling spectacle. Knowing how vindictive Meredith was, and how he had claimed to place the McNair's eternal salivation at risk, they actually went into his presence and got on their knees in front of him to beg forgiveness!   The McNair’s begged forgiveness from Rod with "trembling lips." No member in ANY Church of God ever needs to do such an appalling thing in front of ANY minister!  These men are not God and do not represent God in any capacity at that moment, no matter how much they claim to.

Meredith's arrogance also shines forth yet again with the comment that "causing church division is worse than murder or child molestation,” never mind the fact that he has personally caused church division for 60 some years now and has started two separate churches.

Having seven of his church members murdered and seeing children molested by church pedophiles is not as bad in his eyes as someone who causes division.  Rod Meredith helped created Terry Ratzmann and covered up for a know pedophile who help started LCG.

How sick can this man get?
