Kuhn and the "intellectuals." Ministers who should have been fired were
left in. Mr. Cole always has worked to keep people "friendly'' to �im.
As the ancient prophet Eli was condemned and punished by God for allowing
his sinning sons to remain in the priesthood, so ministers who should have
been eliminated were left in. Mr. Cole would offend no one. After Garner
Ted was put out of the Church, Mr. Co
did all he could to keep dis­
qualifi
ministers loyal to him personally, building power for himself.
What has happened, through the years? A power bloc has developed in
the Work--a power bloc headed by these various "heads of the ministry"-­
of ministers that were NOT loyal to Christ or His Apostle, but to the one
using politics at Pasadena.
When the massive invasion by the State of Calitornia struck the Church
on January 3rd, Mr. Wayne Cole and Mr. David Antion called me on a tele­
phone conference call--with both of them on the phone. They raised their
voices to me, DEj\1ANDING that I fire Mr. Stanley Rader, and allow the
atcorney who brought this evil suit against us to select our defense attor­
ney. This was the last straw. I irn:rnediately disfellowshipped both from
the Church. It has developed also what I felt sure of--Mr. Wayne Cole
was "IN" on this whole conspiracy to bring on the unconstitutional attack
by the State of California. Only he kept his name out of it.
In the emergency, I set Mr. Roderick Meredith as head of the ministry
until I could decide how to eliminate this POWER BLOC by having a man as
"head of the ministry"--which is virtually the same as being head of the
Church and the entire Work. Such an office simply does not
long in
God's Church.
Therefore I am ABOLISHI�r· that office entirely. Christ's ;,.._postle is
the hLlman head over the �inistry, and MUST NOT BE CUT OFF FROM THE
MINISTERS! Mr. Meredith is �eing transferred back as Dean of the Facul
or f\rn.bassador Cc llege.
2"esus Ct1rist is the LIVING HEAD of the Worldwide Church of God, and
ot the College and the Foundation. I have prayed urgently and repeatedly
:."o::::- !:is guidance, and I know that I have it.
2sus Christ has been moving swiftly the past year to SET HIS CHURCH
BACY er� GOD'S TRJI.CK ! Christ's second coming is near--and His Church is
NOT /et ready. Chn.st is :'D.oving through His Apostle to MAKE US READY'.
