Ex member's Heartbreaking Testimony of Her Life in The NTCC

We recently saw this public profile of a former ntcc child who calls herself "Ex member".  This story is so heartbreaking to read.  NTCC  really is an unhealthy environment that hurts you, your marriage, and your children.  Thank God she has survived this and, we pray, will continue to grow in grace and in the knowledge of the truth!  Here is her testimony in her own words:
I was born into NTCC in 1981.(St.Louis MO) My young childhood was fairly Then when I was five my father did something that the NTCC deemed unforgivable: he lost his job due o a injury he received in the military. Therefore was unable to pay as much tithe b4. This did not ruin my parents dedication to this organization. My father was encouraged to do what ever work he could which included hard manual labor(which he was advised by his doctor not to do). My mother during this time asked if she could get a part time job just to make sure her kids(my brother and I) were fed. she was told know that she needed to remain at home to support her husband, and with the other ladies at the church supporting gods wrk. She then asked if she could get gov. assistance (just medicaid for us she wasn't looking for a hand out)and was told that god was testing our loyalty to him. my father would often "junk" (drive or walk with shopping cart down alleys looking for metal to sell to salvage places) he would barely make enough money to keep us fed, but would still pay tithe. then it got worst, my mother tried to get away she took my brother and I half was across the USA o be with her sister, but my father found us and the pastor in STL at the time prsured him in to bringing hr back into the fold this lasted for 2 ms then she left again filed for divorce and lost custody of my brother and I. Due to the church convincing my father hat she would turn us evil if we were raised out side of NTCC. She only got visitation. And was constantly hassled about that. As I grew up with little to know positive female influence . I became very shy and introverted. When I was 14 I tried to commit suicide, i had recently been told by a church member that knew my parents when they got married that the marriage had not been blessed by NTCC and that was why it failed I took this to mean that my being alive wasn't blessed by NTCC and therefore god himself. i wrote god a letter asking him that if I was wrong please spare me but I was trying to fix all the wrongs that had happened to my family, I took every pill in my fathers med cabinet and went to bed 15 mins later I was in the bathroom puking them up. I believed god answered me and I wasn't a mistake. from them on I started to look at thing differently I noticed more than before how "after church huddles" would literally move away from my father when he tried to join a conversation. I also stared asking questions about the rules that made no since to me. Basically I was told to keep my place as female and I child. I knew at this point that I had to get away, but couldn't until legally old enough to be on my 1 month before my 18th birthday I ran away.
Once again, we thank God for sparing this young woman's life and pray that she can fully understand the love of God in a real way in her own heart and learn that she is very valuable and important!

 And he took them up in his arms, 
 put [his] hands upon them, 
 and blessed them. 
 Mark 10:16 
 Before I formed thee
 in the belly I knew thee;
 Jeremiah 1:5 (p)

Just some questions for our readers:

1) What false doctrines that contradict God's Word do you see at work in this true story of life in the ntcc?

2) Could there have been deadly consequences from these false doctrines?

3) What would Jesus have you do about it?

The NTCC stinks and this NTCC father should be behind bars or sent to the gallows. Sounds like the kind of group I want my children to be a part of.

Not sure how we missed seeing this comment sooner, but ...

Anon said, "The NTCC stinks" and we agree wholeheartedly with that assessment of the NTCC.

Then Anon said, " and this NTCC father should be behind bars or sent to the gallows."

DnA say,

Just re-read the original post. From what Ex member shared, we do not 'get' or understand why this Anon feels so strongly against this father. Perhaps Anon is better at reading between the lines than we are. Perhaps Anon has more detail from this story; that we don't have.

Perhaps the father is guilty here. But to us, the way this stroy was written by Ex member, we see more culpability or guilt belonging to the NTCC messed up system. The NTCC teaches the false doctrines and encourages the destruction of self esteem in its members.

We really mean it when we say ntcc is a deceptive and destructive CULT.
