A safe place for Xers to share their stories and heal.
A place to learn what it's really like in the ntcc founded by Rodger Wilson Davis;
and run by his son-in-law, Michael Craig Kekel,
the father of the one vasectomy-rule-exception kid in ntcc, Grant Davison Kekel.
Ezekiel 12:11
Say, I 'am' your sign: like as I have done, so shall it be done unto them: they shall remove 'and' go into captivity.
He Loves A House More Than God: Bonco Mansions of kekel (l) and davis (r)
"He loves a house more than God:" *Bonco* Mansions of kekel (l) and davis (r). Meanwhile, on the mission field: ntcc Missionaries to the Philippines "Rev. and Sis. Mackert ... found a place, 9 feet by 14 feet [9'x14'] and one bathroom. It is on the 6th floor and there is no elevator. The last place they had stayed, they had to share a common bathroom with the other tenants! Yikes! This place has their very own private bathroom, although the Rev. shared there is no seat on the throne, and no way to attach one…." from The Devonshire Files Sunday, May 28, 2006 Visit from the Mackerts (5/06). ** Should you know where the money ($$$$$) goes? **
Jesus In The Temple
Matt 21:12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,

Diana Taylor at the
Cemetery To Pay Respect
to Mom and Pop Gaylord
Recently we took a trip to Washington state to see old friends, and visit some ntcc haunts. It was a business trip in a sense; but it also was a small vacation for us; and we had a great visit with the X-er's that live in this area. Diana Taylor was our gracious hostess with the mostes. ;o) And she drove us all over and updated us on what's been going on in Washington. We cannot thank her enough for her hospitality and showing us a great time while we were visiting!!
Mom and Pop Gaylords' Grave Site
Headstone for Eileen
"Mom" Gaylord
During this trip we got some good videos and pictures of the ntcc cult compound to share with the viewers of this blog. We started our tour at Mom and Pop Gaylords' grave site. I know many folks have mixed feelings about Mom and Pop; but many have fond memories of them; and we most definitely do. In spite of the fact that the ntcc would probably not exist without them, they were very different than the rest of the ntcc overseers and board members in that they did things the way they felt they should be done, in many cases without the approval of r. w. davis. They would openly disagree with RWD's way of doing things; and they were not afraid of him or verna mae davis either. For us it was an honor to visit their grave site; and we will always cherish the memories that we have of what seemed to be the best of the ntcc leadership. We think when they passed away, the small remnant of good in the organization faded with their memories.
Un-Fellowship: X-ers Reunited
Don and Ange
We spent some time with the Reeds, Bro. Armer and many others we love and are becoming fast friends with. And we all had quality fellowship which we have been starving for. We think one of the most wicked rules of the ntcc is their blatant shunning of anyone who no longer attends their church. Through this rule long time friends are often separated for no reason other than the isolationist rule of the independent founder of ntcc, r. w. davis. If you attend ntcc and think those people are your friends, think again. If you choose to go to church elsewhere, those people in ntcc will drop you like a bad habit just because davis says so. Sad.
r. w. davis Manipulates Matt Reed
Mom and Pop Gaylord
As we were showing pictures of Mom and Pop's graves to Brother Reed, he told us about an occasion in which he had wanted to visit Mom and Pop's grave. Old Manipulative, Double-Standard Davis told him that he wanted to go with Matt Reed to visit the grave; and R-dub emphasized for Bro. Reed not to go without him. He promised that they would go visit together soon. I think two or three years went by and R-DUBlecross had yet to keep his word to the Brother. Without any invite or knowledge of what happened RWD took Gandy to Mom and Pop's grave site and then later told MDR that he missed out because he Wasn't Around. Davis is a very manipulative dude. Why would somebody treat a brother this way?
These are details that I remembered from Mathew Reed's account of this story. If I'm off a little or if there is more to add, I will leave that to the Brother, but that's how I remember it. This pretty much sum's up what davis is all about. He is a control mongering manipulator.
Memories of Mom and Pop
Headstone for "Pop"
William Keenan Gaylord,
MSGT USAF
I will always choose to Remember Mom and Pop Gaylord in a good light as many others also remember them. I corresponded with them through letters; and they always wrote me back. I sent one letter to davis about Ange in which I apologized for breaking bible school rules and writing a letter to her; but he never responded. Mom and Pop always seemed to have time for everyone. They once told me that Davis should have nothing to say about who I write to or talk to. I have it in writing and it is on this blog in the letters from the past post [read more >>].
Ange and Diana
We will be publishing a series of videos and pictures of our visit. Please be patient as it is a very large undertaking because of the amount of media we want to share. Ange has been working on this for weeks now and we hope to release it a little bit at a time as she is able organize it into this blog coordinating pictures, video, and stories of ntcc eXperiences.
