Moreno Tragedy

A very dark chapter of ntcc's history is the Moreno Tragedy.

In September of 2003 Roland Moreno murdered his pregnant wife, 5 year-old son, and then allegedly shot himself ending his life too.

Was it really a gun
 that killed the Moreno family? 
 Or was it the ntcc / davis 
 false doctrine that 
 "children hinder  the
work of the borg lawd" ?! 

People who knew him were stunned.  He had been part of ntcc and wanted to go into servicemen's work.  But ntcc supposedly did not allow people with children to run servicemen's homes, although both the Bradeens and Taylors did so for years and years.  In the news article it was reported that when he found out his wife was pregnant, Moreno bought a gun.  He shot her, their boy, then called his ntcc pastor, Jake Espinoza, confessed, asked for prayer, and then allegedly shot himself dead.

How tragic.  ntcc should stop teaching the lie that "children hinder the work of gawd".  Especially since the man who teaches that false doctrine, Rodger Wilson Davis, made sure he and his second wife (after adultery, divorce, and marriage), Verna Mae, would have a child to raise.  They went out of their way to adopt a girl in the Philippines.  Some speculate that their daughter may be the illegitimate child of Davis with "another woman" - Elizabeth Haynes Reynolds, who is listed as the girl's birth mother on the Adoption Registry search for Tanya Tanya Maxamillia Reynolds Davis Kekel (Sister Kekel, wife of Mike/ Michael Craig Kekel, NTCC CEO):

We mention this adoption since it shows the significant double standard that exists in the NTCC, where the Board Members tell you to sacrifice, while they do whatever they wish.  These life-altering sacrifices, taught by the NTCC but not kept by NTCC leaders, have permanent deadly consequences.  These deadly double standards are enforced with rigorous public humiliation like yelling at pregnant women from the pulpit telling them "Lady, you are going to have to answer to God for ruining your husband's ministry!"  Well, who will answer to God for the despair that drove Roland Moreno to murder his son and pregnant wife when he learned she was pregnant?
