The Tale of Two Rich Men



Most of you know the scriptures by heart but for those who don't mind a refresher, below we have shared the story of two rich people that had a lot in common but responded to Jesus differently:

Luke 18:18-23

Luke 18:18  And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

Luke 18:19  And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.

Luke 18:20  Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother. 

Luke 18:21  And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.

Luke 18:22  Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.

Luke 18:23  And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.



We've all heard this story and the one that follows it:

Luke 19:1-9

Luke 19:1  And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.

Luke 19:2  And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.

Luke 19:3  And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.

Luke 19:4  And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.

Luke 19:5  And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.

Luke 19:6  And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.

Luke 19:7  And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.

Luke 19:8  And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.

Luke 19:9  And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.

When we examine these two rich men we find that both are fairly well off. The rich ruler asked Jesus what he must do to inherit eternal life; and when Jesus mentioned some of the commandments the rich ruler justified himself by saying, "All these have I kept from my youth up". Jesus told the rich ruler that if he were to sell everything he had and distribute it to the poor, he would have treasure in heaven.  Sadly this rich ruler went away sorrowful because he had many riches that he didn't want to depart from.  

The second rich man, Zacchaeus, climbed a tree so he could see Jesus; and Jesus went over to his house. Zacchaeus didn't try to justify himself by saying how great he was and how he kept all of God's commandments; he just received Him joyfully. Jesus didn't tell him to do anything; but of his own will Zacchaeus told the Lord that he would give half of his goods to the poor; and that if he had taken anything by false accusation, he would restore it fourfold. Jesus said: "This day is salvation come to this house...."

Zacchaeus was CHIEF among the publicans; and he was rich. He knew he had wronged others; but he decided to make it right by paying them back four times the amount he had taken from them by false accusation. Zacchaeus didn't go away sorrowful; but he did that which he knew was pleasing to God.

Can any of you imagine what Davis' or Kekel's response would be if Jesus asked them to do what he asked of the other rich man or if He asked them to imitate Zacchaeus' repentance? Guess what? Kekel and Davis are con-artists that have made their millions by telling people like you and me that we will die and go to hell if we don't pay tithe to them. They preach on tithe more than anything else. They are nothing more than modern day religious Pharisees that walk around in suits brainwashing the masses into giving the majority of their money to them so they can live high on the hog. 



Are you Shouting Amen or Oh Me?
Come on, all you NTCC'rs. Can I get an Amen? You'll sit there in your seat of hypocrisy every Sunday morning and evening, shouting "Amen!"  When the preacher hollers at folks for drinking and smoking and wearing 'devil stirrups', and 'looking like a Christmas tree with ornaments' you'll shout "Amen!", and jump up and down frothing at the mouth when that preacher starts railing against others for not paying their tithe. 

What if Jesus didn't really care about the outward appearance or how much money you give to some lazy hypocrite preacher that's able but doesn't care to work for a living? Well guess what? The only people Jesus ever rebuked for appearance were the Pharisees, dressing up like hypocrites, distinguishing themselves from all others by wearing long robes and such. Suits, ties, wingtips and white shirts are not going to get you into heaven. Jesus always emphasized giving to the poor and helping those who are without.

Tanya and Verna Look Down their Noses at Strong Backed, Weak Minded, Kook-store Clad, Sister Who has Been Slaving in the Kitchen

People from all walks of life asked John the Baptist what they should do. He didn't say "Go knock on a hundred doors a day and seek me out some tithe payers to support my lavish lifestyle." He didn't say "Preach that they need to dress a certain way to get to heaven." He told them that if they had two coats to impart one to him that had none. (Can you imagine Tanya giving up one of her $400 Alpaca scarves to a homeless woman?) The publicans came unto John asking the same and he said: "Exact no more than that which is appointed unto you." (Can you imagine Davis or Kekel saying, "We already have enough clothes, cars, houses, buildings and real estate. From now on we are going to give to the poor in our community."?!?) The soldiers also demanded what they should do, and John said: "Do violence to no man, neither accuse anyone falsely and be content with your wages." (Can you imagine Davis and Kekel ever being content with their wages??? They have never stopped increasing their riches since they started slurping up all of your so-called donations, which are actually mandatory. Stop "donating" and see how quickly they accuse you of not being a Christian.)

Your tithes and offerings keep allowing them to upgrade their cars and their mansions. It's not about giving to the poor or caring for the widow or fatherless the way God intended those things to be used. But Davis and Kekel are never going to stop taking advantage of people. They view you as "strong backs with weak minds" to be exploited for their gain$. They will continue to let you think that you are "being a blessing to Gawd's program" with every dollar they take in under false pretenses. Year after year the joint offerings from multiple churches attending monthly fellowship meetings were collected, allegedly to help start up new works. Those monies from every single NTCC church were sent to Graham, Washington and were never seen again by those who gave the money. Not one pioneer preacher has ever given an account of receiving financial assistance from this NTCC fund. So what happened to those funds? Where did that money go? The only answer you'll get from Davis or Kekel is, "That's none of your business".   For almost fifty years the NTCC has been running this scam; and nobody who gives the money knows where it goes or how it gets spent. That is theft by deceit.  False Pretenses.  And  Fraud. It is illegal. Shouldn't you know where it goes?  You wouldn't dare give any of your hard earned money to a homeless person without asking where he or she was going to spend it.  Jesus said: "Give to everyman that asketh of thee" (Luke 6:30).  Read the whole passage.  Jesus is not talking about giving your money to some preacher that wants to condemn you for not paying tithe in accordance with the old testament. Jesus never told anyone to give their money to a man so that he can buy a church building or a new car.  Come on now, you say you are a bible believing Christian. Start believing the bible.  Don't just tear out the scriptures that are not convenient for you.

Come on people, what does Jesus really want from you? Do you really think that it's a nice fancy church edifice or a new house for your pastor? Do you think that Jesus was talking about giving to some preacher or someone who was poor and had nothing to give in return?  You have isolated yourselves from everyone that Jesus wants you to help and have insulated yourselves from giving to the ones that Jesus died for.  Do you really think that Jesus wants you to isolate yourselves from your friends, family and neighbors, so you can live on a cult compound like the one behind the fence in Graham? Do you think He only wants you to give to the church and not to your neighbors or those less fortunate? Let's see what Jesus says:

 After Kekel and Davis Walk by with their bags of money, A Non-ntcc'r (a Sinful Samaritan), Stops to Render Aid 

Luke 10:25-37

Luke 10:25  And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

Luke 10:26  He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?

Luke 10:27  And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.

Luke 10:28  And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.

Luke 10:29  But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?

Luke 10:30  And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

Luke 10:31  And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

Luke 10:32  And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.

Luke 10:33  But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,

Luke 10:34  And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

Luke 10:35  And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.

Luke 10:36  Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?

Luke 10:37  And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

This Lawyer asked Jesus who his neighbor was. Jesus then related the Parable of the good Samaritan. It wasn't the Priest or the Levite who had mercy on the man that was beaten and left for dead; but it was the Samaritan. I've often seen this same Pharisaical attitude in the NTCC. They don't really care much at all for the poor or the afflicted. They will tell you not to bring the homeless to church or to do anything to help or relieve them. "You cant' build a church with homeless people", Davis snorted. When is the last time you ever heard of Davis doing anything for a homeless man or woman? When is the last time you ever heard of Kekel helping out someone that wasn't on his payroll? Their nature is to absorb so-called blessings like a big insatiable sponge. They don't give anything out; they just suck it all in and live off of the profits. If they ever do give anything to anyone it is for the NTCC benefit; and NTCC ends up receiving it all back, one way or another. This is all contrary to the words of Jesus. READ YOUR BIBLES.

What does Jesus really want us to do? It's not that hard. It's all in black and white or red if you have a red letter edition. Let's see what Jesus wants:

Luke 6:24-38

Luke 6:24  But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation.

Luke 6:25  Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.

Luke 6:26  Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.

Luke 6:27  But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,

Luke 6:28  Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.

Luke 6:29  And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloke forbid not to take thy coat also.

Luke 6:30  Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.

Luke 6:31  And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.

Luke 6:32  For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.

Luke 6:33  And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.

Luke 6:34  And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.

Luke 6:35  But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.

Luke 6:36  Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.

Luke 6:37  Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:

Luke 6:38  Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

I know this is a lot to read; and we've all read it numerous times. But it doesn't seem to sink in very well, especially with ntcc'rs who have been taught to override the gospel with the false doctrines of materialistic men who seek to profit off the church members' sacrifice. But this simple obedience to the scripture is what Jesus wants from everybody. He doesn't say to give your money to preachers or apostles or elders or to pay your tithe to some lazy Davis wanna-be. Jesus is talking about giving, not to those who give back in return, but to every man that asketh of you. OUCH!!!!!! How do you think that you are to show the love of God to others? They are going to follow your example if they think that you are for real. You are teaching others to give lazy preachers that want to be full-time "ministers"; (which is supposed to mean servants; but what they really are is full-time hypocrites and sponges that use the ministry for their own personal gain.)  They are not the servants of all. All they really care about is your money and your obedience to them, not to God. Withhold either your money or your obedience to them, and their claws will come out.

So, all of you NTCC'rs out there. Which one of these rich men do you want to be like? Which of these two rich men does your leader resemble? Does your pastor use the pattern that Jesus has established in His own words and actions? Are you following Christ or materialistic money-grubbing hypocrites?

Our Trip to Watch Tower Farms, New York, The Future Business Model of the NTCC.

Recently we loaded up our refrigerated trailer with 40,000 lbs. of cold chicken to make a delivery at the Jehovah's Witness' Watchtower Farms Cult Compound.  Upon arrival to the gated community with video surveillance equipment everywhere, we were taken back by the enormity of it all.  It was truly like an NTCC cult compound on steroids.  We pulled up to a gate with very advanced camera systems pointing right into the cab of our truck and picked up a phone attached to the pole with the expensive video equipment attached to it and got a busy signal.  We pushed the call button and after a few minutes of scrutiny the JW's opened the gate and let us in.  When we pulled up to the building with the address on the bill of lading, we noticed that it was a manufacturing warehouse of some sort, and quickly figured out that it was not the correct building for our delivery.  We wondered why they would want 40,000 pounds of cold chicken delivered to this building and joked that perhaps they were having a bbq with 144,000 guests.  I went in the warehouse to find out where they wanted us to get unloaded; and when I saw the young well-dressed employees with their glazed-over cult-member friendly countenance and polite demeanor it was like a blast from the past.  I had the feeling that I was back in the NTCC Servicemen's Home surrounded by young enthusiastic people that were sure that they were the only ones on the planet going to heaven.   It took the receiving clerk about 15 minutes worth of phone calls to find out which part of the cult compound I was supposed to deliver to and another phone call to get directions.

A LOOK BACK TO THE FUTURE:

We then drove back through the gate we had come through to another gate that was identical but led us into the backside of the main JW compound located in the Wallkill, NY complex.  When we finally made it to the appropriate warehouse, we had to back our entire truck - tractor and trailer - into an inside dock.  Ange was afraid that they would shut the giant roll doors and we would never be seen or heard from again.  LOL!!!  She joked about envisioning me disappearing and her being tracked through the woods at night as she made a desperate attempt to flee this cult compound, sticking to the streams to evade scent-tracking dogs!  Bwahaha! Of course, no such thing happened.  Instead, this warehouse had a well-dressed young female forklift driver that attacked our truck like a pack of stray dogs on a three legged cat.  She unloaded that truck just about as fast as we've ever been unloaded; and immediately a well-dressed young man gave us our paperwork; and we were on our way out of the compound. On our way out, we got a video of the back-side of the JW Compound.  The whole experience was like a voyage back to the future as we got to take a look at what direction the ntcc is headed!

Watchtower Society's Brooklyn
Headquarters Cult Complex

Make no mistake about it, the Jehovah's Witnesses are a very destructive cult that is every bit as dangerous as the ntcc.  They've been building their empire for well over a century; and the people that make up the JW organization are every bit as brainwashed as the ntcc members are.  The Watchtower Farms is one tentacle of many that are attached to the body which has many other tentacles.  Some are Printeries like the Wallkill compound and others are huge real-estate ventures which are all fronts for their educational and other so-called out-reaches.

BEGINNINGS:

The Jehovah's Witnesses are a nontrinitarian "millennialism restorationist" denomination that has some serious whacked out beliefs that are similar in a lot of ways to those of the ntcc.  The Jehovah's Witnesses founder was Charles Taze Russell who started the JW cult and Tract Society around 1880 after he had sold all of his clothing stores for about $300,000 (current value over $6.5 million) in anticipation for the rapture; which he incorrectly predicted would take place in 1878.  When this did not happen he called it an "error in calculation" and reset the date to 1914 and also 'clarified' that Christ's return would be a "Spiritual" one adding that world society would be replaced by God's Kingdom on earth.  After the death of its founder in 1916 other JW leaders made false predictions in similar fashion, predicting Armageddon was moved back and that the launching of Sputnik was of some spiritual significance.  All of the JW prophesies regarding the end times were false; and none of their predictions have come true.

ORGANIZATION:

The Jehovah Witness Food chain starts with what is called the "Governing Body" which consists of 8 members comprised of non-elected male members who are considered anointed by God and appointed only by existing members when the need arises.  These eight formulate doctrines and policies and decide which propaganda they want to publish to the world.  Very few Jehovah's witness cult members know who these eight people are, and even if you were to ask local church leaders who they were they might only know the names of one or two even though the information is public.  The eight "elders" are highly secretive; and nobody can say for certain how much money they make or how they manage the billions of dollars worth of Watch Tower assets.  Sound familiar?

COMMUNAL CULT COMPOUNDS:

Many of the JW cult members live on communal cult compounds like the one we visited in Wallkill, NY.  In exchange for their slave labor they are given a small apartment to live in, food and they have no bills to pay.  These slaves are called volunteers by their cult and they do not get paid anything in exchange for their slave labor.  It is said among the tight lipped community of JW cult members that they get a monthly stipend.  I've seen some cult members say that this amount is as low as $25 per month and others testify that while it is nobody's business, they get as much as $200 per month and it is to cover clothing and other necessary expenses not included.  They have "meetings" at Kingdom Hall Centers and expect new members to give "field reports" to the church leaders on a monthly basis.  Some less 'loyal' members are allowed to give biannual field reports; but if they fail to do this they are considered 'inactive' members.  Sound familiar?

FINANCES:

The JW headquarters is in Brooklyn, New York; and they are one of the wealthiest corporations in the NYC area with over 950 million dollars in reported annual revenue. They are in the process of flipping all of their Brooklyn real estate assets for over One Billion Dollars and moving their headquarters to upstate New York.  The lion's share of the revenue generated by the Watchtower Society is in Sales ('Donations'); and this is accomplished with a sales force which is equivalent to what the ntcc "soul winning" program accomplishes.   The sales force (soul winners) use their own finances to buy tracts and magazines from the multi-billion dollar "Non-profit" organization and then sells them door to door for donations (otherwise known as Double Dipping).  It's considered a donation but along with the tract the sales person/soul winner is required to let the potential proselyte know that the Watchtower society literature is the only publication available on planet earth that can be used to decipher the many secrets hidden from man in the scriptures.  In 2007 they handed out their 20 billionth piece of propaganda and they are still going strong.

DOCTRINES:

The JW's believe that death is a state of non-existence and that there is no hell. They do not believe in honoring the U.S.A. by saluting the flag, saying the Pledge of Allegiance or singing the National Anthem.  They believe that there are only going to be 144,000 people in heaven reigning with Jesus Christ; and they live their entire lives as a slave to accomplish that goal.  There are millions and millions of JW's but only this small number will get to go to heaven while the rest will have to prove their worth during the thousand year reign of Satan.  They refuse to serve in our military; and they do not observe any holidays to include Christmas, Easter and Birthdays.  They believe in 'Separation from the World' and believe that all other churches are false and to be identified with Babylon the Great and that the United Nations is the scarlet beast of Revelation 17.  They have strict disciplinary measures which ostracize people.  The ultimate punishment is shunning referred to as disfellowshipping.  This practice happens most frequently when members disagree with their doctrine and refuse to 'submit' themselves to the many rules.  In contrast the JWs, like ntcc, are perfectly willing to 'forgive' [overlook or hide] many cases of child sexual abuse and other forms of sexual misconduct rather than disfellowshipping the perpetrators.  Disfellowshipped people are not allowed to attend any meetings and JW members are not allowed to interact with disfellowshipped members except in rare circumstances.  A Disfellowshipped X-member of the JW cult is considered to be 'living in apostasy' and there is no attempt to reach them.


SIMILARITIES BETWEEN JEHOVAH WITNESSES AND NEW TESTAMENT CHRISTIAN CHURCHES OF AMERICA:

1.  Both organizations have founders that have prophesied falsely or claimed to have false dreams and visions from God.  Charles Taze Russell or "TAZ" has incorrectly predicted the Rapture.  Rodger Wilson Davis or "R-DUB" used to emphasize the old men dream dreams scripture to disqualify anyone else from having spiritual dreams.  His "Spiritual dreams" were that he saw himself in the old St. Louis Rams stadium watching Christians being decapitated when the rapture took place.  That particular stadium was torn down years ago and nobody was beheaded and if the rapture did take place, he was left behind.  He also had another dream or vision of an octopus reaching out to people with its tentacles. Link   Another Old Man that shared a spiritual dream or vision was Joe Olson; who shared that when the rapture took place he saw Davis going first, followed by the General Board members, and finally the rest of the "Shlubs" got to follow in what was described as a pyramid rapture.  That is not scripturally sound.  1 Th 4:13-18

2.  Both have unique interpretations of being separate from the world.  The JW's and ntcc believe in isolation from the world and its religions.  The Watchtower publications teach that anyone that is not a follower of their literature is a servant of Satan and that all other religions are false.  The ntcc has taught the same thing for years.  The ntcc has a doctrine to tear down any religion out there; and while they will try to say that they are not the only religion going to heaven, try missing one of their services for a Baptist church service or a Catholic church service or a 7th Day Adventist Service or any other denomination and see what the topic of the next ntcc service or bible study is.  They will preach against the oneness church, they will preach against eternal security, they will preach against the Catholics and the Mormons and any other denomination you attend.

3.  Both Organizations have very aggressive recruiting programs.  The JW's pass out literature while the Holier than thou ntcc-ites pass out cards and knock on doors.  Both groups expect their members to do this at their own expense.  Both cults consider folks that don't participate in this form of public harassment to be less dedicated and more worldly and more apt to end up "in the world".

4.  Both Cults expect their members to live in poverty for the "furtherance of "God's Kingdom".  The JW's have mastered this, but they also have been at it for almost 100 years longer than the ntcc.  The average ntcc member is pumped for money during every get together and there are so many needs presented throughout the week that a person ends up giving a majority of their money to the program of Davis, oops, I meant to say gawd.  They are not told that the Davis and Kekel Families are getting filthy rich off of their giving.

5.  Both the JW and ntcc cults exercise DISFELLOWSHIPPING.  The JW's shun people for not accepting all of their man-made doctrines and for not following their rules.  The ntcc does the same thing; and when they do it they make sure that the disfellowshipped member thinks that it is God they are rejecting; so that they will blame themselves for the rest of their lives.  The ntcc used to put out a list of disfellowshipped or blacklisted preachers.  Not sure if they still do.  I've heard they put out a list of "ministers in good standing", which implies that if you are or were a minister in the ntcc and you are not on that list that you are not right with God.  I know in the local churches they would use public humiliation in a practice that is referred to by many as "running them off" which involves exposing a member or potential member publicly for alleged sins (which often are not sins) and often involves sharp rebuke with the pointing of fingers and calling out their names directly.  They also tell their faithful and loyal members (slaves) to "leave them alone" or "have nothing to do with them".  That weak brother or sister that was just cast out by a skillful manipulator will spend the rest of his or her life thinking that it was his or her fault and will often blame themselves.  This is unlike God and His true love that restores.

6.  Both cults turn a blind eye to many sins like child molestation and other types of physical and spiritual abuse.   Rather than bring an embarrassing public outrage towards the cult the JW's and ntcc both would rather silence the victims of sexual abuse than have their 'precious' name tarnished.  Both groups have protected known predators while the victims have been disfellowshipped or shunned or ignored and run off.

7.  Both cults have printing operations that are used to create propaganda that creates a large profit.

8.  They both capitalize on the naivety of youth and target young folks whose minds can be easily manipulated and shaped to be used as the org sees fit.

9.  They are both big time cults.  Make no mistake about it, they target people they can use to advance their agendas; and although they masquerade as Christians, if your own salvation or Christianity does not fall lockstep into the parameters set by the cult leadership, you will not last long.  You can love God all you want, but if you question leadership, you have committed the Cardinal Sin; and you will be made an example of.  If you question how they spend your money, you will not be around very long at all.  In fact you will not only be thrown out of the church but you will be shunned by the very ones that you trusted with your soul and considered to be the family of God.  Both of these cults are Counterfeit Christian wanna-be organizations that use people up; when they are done with you, they will never want anything to do with you again.

10.   The one thing that really distinguishes the JW's and the NTCC as cults is the Word of God.  Don't believe us.  Go on thinking we are bitter and we have an axe to grind and that we are the ones with the problem if you wish.  We really don't care.  But as we have been saying over and over like a broken record, just look at what both cults really stand for and match them up to the bible.

  • Do they follow Jesus' example of being minister/servant of all?
  • Do they love their neighbor as themselves?
  • Do they believe in reaching out to the hungry, the sick, the broken hearted, the widow, the orphan or the fatherless, homeless or poor?
  • Do either cults have a program that's geared towards healing and restoring the spiritually broken and afflicted or tormented of this world?

No they do not.  They will take in money like a sponge; and in the NTCC it will go towards buying its leaders new mansions, cars and musical instruments or anything else that the leaders want for themselves; but none of their filthy lucre will go towards helping their communities or for any other biblical purposes.  As for the JW's, they are so secretive that it's hard to tell where their money goes but they do very little to help anyone but their own; and most of them live farther below the poverty line than the ntcc.

Most of the X-ers out there already know this; but in many cases they are afraid to tell their stories; and I understand that.  The JW's have billions of dollars worth of class action suits for child molestation and they have well over 6 million members.  There are a few brave souls that have come forward in that organization and hopefully their honesty will help protect others from the same fate.  We know of many instances of some really sick stuff that past and PRESENT members of the ntcc have been involved in.  People have told us things in confidence that we will not share because we gave them our word.  We have mixed feelings about this; because we know there are predators in the ntcc that will keep hurting children and others; because they think that their secret will never be discovered.  We keep our mouths shut because we don't want to ruin the victims' lives any more than they have already been ruined.  It's a burden that we wish we didn't have to bear.  But we understand, and have compassion on those who have been victimized; because the wounds and scars they have are very deep; and what they have been through is deeply personal.

I know first hand how sick and destructive the NTCC has been in my life; and in spite of whatever discredit I have brought to myself, I have shared it publicly.  I hope nobody has to go through what I had to go through; but I will say for every story that I have shared there are a hundred that nobody knows anything about; because the victims involved were hurt so bad that they can't go through the pain involved in speaking or reliving what they went through.  Statistics show that for every child that comes forward and confronts the predator that violated them, there are dozens (usually girls) and in some case hundreds (boys that have been molested) that are too afraid to share what they have been through.  We are not going to betray anyone's confidence in these matters; and we are not even going to tell you to go public because it's something that you will have to live with and those wounds may be too deep to relive.  For some it can be very liberating and surprising as to how many people will support you.  That's what happened for me when I shared what ntcc put me through.


This has turned out to be a very long blog post and has gone in a direction that was unexpected, but you'll get no apologies here.  They are the ones that should be apologizing.  They are too proud and incapable of acknowledging their failures or taking responsibility for the things that are wrong in their organizations.  We, however, feel like it's important for people to know this stuff.  We hope that troubled members within cults everywhere will read this and begin to question the ungodliness and un-Christlike behavior of cults like the NTCC and the JW's. If it feels wrong, there is a reason.  Don't get caught up in the euphoria of thinking that you are in the only group going to heaven and that your leaders are the only ones that have the answers for your soul.  Study and find the contradictions between your cult and God's people.  You won't have to look very hard.  Just look.
