Phil Kinson's Adultery Impacts Moreno Murders: Roland Moreno Tragedy Begins to Unfold 8 Years After The Former New Testament Christian Church Member Allegedly Murders His Pregnant Wife, Young Child, Confesses to NTCC Pastor Jake Espinoza and Then Takes His Own Life.

This is a very tragic story and we take no pleasure in stories like this.  It's very sad that this tragedy ever happened and there are no words to describe how something this horrible could have happened as the result of a person being involved with what many consider to be a Christian Church.  The New Testament Christian Churches of America, Inc. masquerades  as a "non-profit" Christian church but they are a very deceptive cult that has a long history of behavior and actions that are not Christ-like.

We have been following some comments on Chief's Blog by an anonymous commentator that states that Roland Moreno was a member of the New Testament Christian Church in Okinawa, Japan.  The details shared anonymously by this person were that Roland was asked by his ntcc 'pastor', Phil Kinson, to give him a ride to "retrieve his wallet" and the place where Roland drove Phil Kinson to retrieve his wallet was a whore house.  It was shared that after Roland reported Phil Kinson for being at a whore house, it was "the beginning of the end" for the Moreno family but not for the Adulterer [Phil Kinson].  While Phil Kinson was moved from Okinawa, Japan, he was quickly promoted to overseer status.

Moreno was ostracized, black-listed and the whole mess was brushed under the carpet.  After carrying this burden around and being treated worse than the perpetrator of the adultery and sharing details of this with others, Roland Moreno reportedly shot and killed his pregnant wife and young child.  He then called his ntcc pastor, Jake Espinoza, and confessed to killing his family.  While it has been reported that Roland was seeking forgiveness, we don't know all the details of this phone conversation.  Roland Moreno reportedly then turned the gun on himself and pulled the trigger, allegedly ending his own life.

Also on Chief's Blog, Rev. Mathew Reed, who was also a former ntcc pastor of Roland Moreno, verified that most of the same details given by the anonymous person on Chief's Blog were also shared by Moreno with him.  Pastor Reed added that Moreno told him the details of Phil Kinson's adultery and the aftermath that took place in his own life.

 Phil Kinson said about
 his sex with a whore:
"It isn't adultery
 if you wear a condom!"
 So rest easy, Debbie Johnson,
 Feel-Good-Phil wasn't really
 cheating on you; just ask him;
 and he will tell you! *wink* NOT!  

Roland Moreno told Rev. Matt Reed that
Phil Kinson said: 


"It's not adultery if you use a condom!"  -- Phil Kinson  

Phil Kinson went on to bigger and better things in ntcc, pastoring their seminary's mega-chapel in Graham, Wa. while J.R. Ashmore took over the church in Okinawa.  Moreno's life was made miserable by Ashmore; who treated Moreno worse than Kinson; who was promoted.  Later, Former ntcc Pastor Mathew Reed confronted R.W. Davis the founder of New Testament Christian Churches of America, Inc. about Phil Kinson's admitted adultery.

Here is a comment that Pastor Reed left on Chief's blog:

MDR here. After reading the latest posts, I decided it was time to chime in. First let me say that I never wanted to go public with this, but evidently it's already out there and I didn't realize how many others know about it too.


After I became Roland's pastor, he told me he needed to talk to me because something was heavy on his heart. Let me just say that what you've read here is almost exactly what he shared with me.


I carried this for years and finally took it to RWD [R. W. Davis] in 2005, and told him I had a problem with his leadership. I pointed to the adulterer [Philip Arthur Kinson] and told RWD I couldn't understand how that he exalted that man to an overseer position.


[Rodger Wilson Davis] RWD had previously gotten up in conferences and made it abundantly clear if you committed adultery as a minister in his organization, that you would have your license taken from you, he would expose your sin to your wife, and you would never be a leader in his organization.

It bothered me because it was clear to me at that point that RWD would change the rules to fit his own agenda. After I approached RWD about this, his treatment toward me definitely changed.


NTCC resembles the church of Laodicea in every respect. It is filled with adulterers, adulteresses, and money-hungry thieves.

I can say this one thing: Thank God we are free and we rejoice in this fact every day, that we can serve God under His wonderful grace and not under the bondage of their manmade laws.

After speaking with Pastor Reed on the phone, Chief posted his thread entitled:  "Oh the Hypocrisy that Drove a Man to Murder and Suicide".  This thread gives an account of details that Pastor Reed shared with Chief via phone conversation and includes a link to a news report of the tragedy.

From Chief's blog [text in brackets added for clarity]:

This is a tough one. Not quite as easy as I [Chief] expected but nevertheless, here we go. There was a man in the NTCC by the name of Roland Moreno. Roland personally observed his NTCC pastor leaving a whore house in Japan. Roland confronted the pastor and a heated confrontation erupted between Roland and his pastor concerning the obvious impropriety and truly unchristian-like conduct committed by the supposed "man of God" [Philip Kinson]. According to the account which I was personally told, the pastor [Phil Kinson] said that his conduct didn't classify as adultery because he wore a condom during his sexual act with the whore. This pastors name was Phil Kinson!

Roland was somehow able to provide notification to the NTCC leadership concerning Kinson's misconduct and Mr. Kinson was later removed from Okinawa Japan and replaced by another minister. This is when Roland's big troubles began. The minister that replaced Mr. Kinson was Mr. [James Ross] Ashmore, and Mr. [James Ross] Ashmore promptly proceeded to blacklist and ostracize Roland Moreno. Never again was Roland Moreno treated justly by the NTCC leadership. The NTCC leadership to include R.W. Davis systematically targeted Roland Moreno and his wife from that point forward. Word to the wise; (At which point in time you elect to challenge the authority, credibility or morality of an NTCC pastor, you better be prepared to promptly leave the New Testament Christian Church for good). You'll never win that battle and Roland had to find that out the hard way.

At a later date, M.D. Reed had the fortitude and courage to confront R.W. Davis directly concerning this scandal. Pastor Reed wanted to know why RWD would promote Mr. [Phil] Kinson (who was known to have committed adultery) to the position of overseer within the New Testament Christian Church. R.W. Davis pointed his finger in Pastor Reed's face and essentially scolded Pastor Reed for involving himself in another man's adulterous affairs. M.D. Reed posted a statement on this blog, where you can read it on the previous thread.

Ultimately Roland Moreno was blacklisted by the NTCC leadership because he uncovered Mr. Kinson's sin. The blacklisting obviously occurred because Kinson is the son-in-law of an NTCC overseer [Jim L. Johnson] and in case you haven't figured it out yet, the NTCC is a family business. This resulted in Roland succumbing to extreme depression which caused him to [allegedly] take the life of himself and his family. Plainly put, "The NTCC leadership drove Moreno mad".

Attached below is a news article which addresses Mr. Moreno's death.

http://www.texnews.com/1998/2003/texas/texas_Police_se925.html

This is a true story which has been verified by the credible and reliable. I was told this first hand and to the best of my knowledge I'm reporting factual information. Make no mistake; double standard hypocrites who preach fire and brimstone will eventually be found out. This is tragic and truly sad for all parties involved. These crooked preachers need to do the honorable thing and leave the pulpit and stop judging everyone but themselves.

I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints (Mr. Moreno's blood and the blood of his family is on the hands of the NTCC leadership)

And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double. How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.

In a comment left by Pastor Reed on Chief's thread, MDR also answered an anonymous comment that stated:

Anon said "I suggest to you that if Kinson committed this act, its possible that Gods grace just might be sufficient to forgive him of that heinous sin."

MDR said...

Once again, you try to deflect the topic from the real issue. Davis exalted this piece of work to a leadership position after HE SAID that would never happen in HIS organization.

If a man repents, that's between him and God, and I definitely don't have a problem with that. I told Davis that when I came to him about this situation. God's grace IS sufficient.

But I saw how Roland's wife, Maria, was treated in that conference, when Davis got up and unmercifully plowed her in the ground just because she wanted to stop and look at some of God's beautiful creation. He said that she should care for souls as much as she likes those horses. (I wonder if Davis, the Kekels or you ever had those thoughts when you're in the diamond stores or furniture marts. Hmmmm! Hypocrite!) [Yellow highlights added by Don and Ange for emphasis.]
After that service my wife and I were at the Moreno's van consoling Maria, who was crying uncontrollably because of what Davis said to her in that service. She asked me, "Pastor Reed, why did he say that to me? I've done nothing wrong."

And let me just say for the record, both Roland and Maria cared passionately for souls and brought many people to church. I would say they cared about souls far more than any of you hypocrites who deserve to be thrown on a dung hill.

You can try to brand Moreno as a nut, but you're the real nut job, and you're in a basket full of nuts. You'll never convince me that the unfaithful pastor/husband's [Phil Kinson's] actions and the subsequent treatment by other leaders [James Ross Ashmore and Rodger Wilson Davis] in the NTCC didn't have a part in Rolands mental demise.

The Morenos were among the most wonderful people that my wife and I have ever known, and anyone who knew them knows what I'm saying is true.

Ironically, in yet another tragic story, Pastor Jake Espinoza, who reportedly spake with Moreno on the phone just before he pulled the trigger which ended his own life, had a similar tragedy in his own family according to this unverified story submitted as a comment on Chiefs blog:

I heard the same story from somebody close to the espinosas.
Apparently their younger brother suffered from some type of mental illness and had a shoot out with the washington police.

He tried to kill his girlfriend and baby, but she was able to get away and call the police. I'm not sure if he killed himself or the police killed him.

Maybe you can find more factual info in the archives of the news there in puyallup because I wasn't around when that happened. I think the year was 07 or 08.

We have followed this story and decided to summarize what was shared in this thread so that people that search this story can find public details as reported by those close to this tragedy. We hope that people in the ntcc or those that consider attending the ntcc do a thorough examination into the affairs of the ntcc before deciding to attend.

"New Testament Christian Churches of America, Inc." A Business or a Church?

 A dragon Masquerades
 as a non-profit ntcc leader 

The ntcc is a family owned business that masquerades as a non-profit religious church organization.  It is structured like the military and run by a few diabolical business men.  The name is contradictory and is an oxymoron in itself.  It's like installing new locks at a 7-11 where the doors are open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, or going into business selling twelve-once pound cakes.

They say they are a non-denominational church; which is absurd.  They are so far from being a non-denominational church.  Their doctrine is their denomination; and you would be hard-pressed to find a church with more rules and policies than the ntcc.  In fact,  you would have to find another cult that is more controlling than they are.  They throw out clichés like "All are welcome." and "We'll treat you so many ways, you're bound to like one of them."  While the ntcc has some good people, they are being used to propagate an agenda that is only obvious to those who take an objective look at this business we call the ntcc.

A Family Run Business:
First of all the ntcc is a family run business.  These are some of the royal families that are at the top of the ntcc food chain:

• The Davis family sits at the top, living in luxury.  Are the leaders of a non-profit organization supposed to be this rich?  Do we see any examples of church leaders getting rich in the New Testament?
• The Kekel family is a branch of the Davis family.  Kekel married into wealth when he married the adopted Filipino daughter of R. W. Davis, Tanya Maxamillia Reynolds Davis, when she was the young tender age of 16 or 17.  
• You then have the Olsons and Brills,
• the Johnsons and Kinsons and Ankenbauers,
• the Ashmores and Jordans and DiFrancescos.

Many of these borg 'leaders' have unions which involve young teens marrying twenty-something year old men, some of whom are seven to nine years older than their young teen brides.


Hint:  If you need a signed permission slip from your prospective spouse's mamma and daddy, you may be in a weird cult that endorses child marriages!

NTCC = National Treasury of Church Cash:

 ntcc cash flows to
 Graham, Washington
 and disappears... 

There are multiple streams of income that flow to a city called Graham, Washington where all these royal ntcc nepotists reside.  Graham is in the Seattle, Washington area and is the headquarters for the NTCC, otherwise known as the National Treasury of Church Cash.  They operate a communal compound where cult members live and give.  They are expected to work jobs that allow them to attend all "church functions".

In other words they are mostly non-skilled workers that have to work 9 to 5, Monday through Friday.  These are mostly minimum wage or low paid construction and insulation jobs.  After the cult leaders get their cut, the cemetery, oops, seminary students have enough money left to eat Ramen noodle dinners and put gas into their "oil puking junkers" or "klunkers" so they can haul new recruits back and forth to church services.

Exploiting Our Military:
NTCC's Servicemen's Homes:
No Tax Cash Cows:
While the ntcc makes money in Graham off of it's cemetery, oops, seminary program, their bread and butter comes from their Servicemen's Home stream of income.  The Servicemen's Homes are located at military installations throughout the world; and they prey on young GI's that are good at following orders and have a steady income with little expenses.  Servicemen's Homes are basically mini cemeteries,oops, seminaries, in that they are modeled after the compound in Graham.  The Servicemen's Homes are mini communal cult compounds that are utilized to extract money from GI's and send it to: You guessed it!  Graham, Washington.  Furthermore, much pressure is placed on the service members to leave the military in order to attend the ntcc's school of rules, now called a seminary.  This is done to perpetuate the cycle of recruiting new cult members.

Mystical Manipulation and Mind Control:

 Mind Control 

All of this is done through mind control and spiritual manipulation.  New Christians are made to feel part of something special.  They are initiated into a love-bombing process that makes them feel wanted and cared about.  They are also introduced to church policies and destructive doctrines.  These are control mechanisms that open an individual up to scrutiny, rebuke and control.  Ordinary every day decisions that responsible Christians make every day by themselves are now controlled and manipulated by a so-called pastor.  The ntcc Christian is now expected to consult with their "spiritual leader" on issues like what to do with their spare time, what they can spend their money on, who they can talk to,  who they can call on the phone, who they can visit, what marriages, reunions and funerals they can not attend.  Their options are limited because there is a very large demand for their money.  Offerings are taken up throughout the week.  Tithe is demanded.  Hell is used as an ultimatum to get people living in fear; so they can be controlled.

Paramilitary Control Causing Dependency On The Cult:
The ntcc is set up financially as a business.  But it is patterned after the military in so many ways.  They call their military outreaches "A home away from home."  They run them like military barracks inspecting the rooms and jacking people up for not keeping them clean and organized.  If a super spiritual dignitary is scheduled to pay a visit (One of the royal family members or their designated representatives), the pastor puts people into a frenzy trying to get the place up to standards as if a four star general were coming by to inspect the place.  The pastor issues out a bunch of orders to his loyal subjects, puts them on major clean-up details and then retreats into his bunker, (usually his bedroom or church office), to straighten out the books in anticipation that the overseer is going to want to see where all of the pennies have been going.

Flipping Real Estate and Disappearing Escrow Accounts:

Perhaps the most lucrative enterprise that the ntcc is involved in is the real  estate and escrow business that provides rivers of money to Graham, Washington.  The ntcc asks a recently graduated cemetery, oops, seminary student to pray about going to Bumfuzzle, Louisiana.  That graduate, who has been spiritually and financially drained, is desperate to get on to the next phase of this pyramid scheme, and is willing to go anywhere in the world; so he  jumps at the chance to go start the New Testament Christian Church of Bumfuzzle, LA.

So he goes to Bumfuzzle and finds the most dilapidated, run-down, roof-leaking, roach-infested store-front building he can find at the cheapest price and goes to work.  If he is 'successful' he will influence others to join his cult and will spend all of his time and money repairing this building.  He will also influence others to dedicate their time, skills and money to repairing this building.  Once this pastor has a group of people to support and sustain this building he will be asked to pray about going somewhere else; and some abusive jerk will take this church over and run it into the ground.  All the people will be run off; the church will be sold at 5 times what ntcc paid for it; and the escrow will be zeroed out.

Collecting Money Under False Pretenses = Fraud:
Which brings us to the escrow scam, oops, funds.  Many of the Servicemen's Homes and churches have escrow funds that are advertised to be for use of the local pastor for repairs and unexpected costs that might be incurred.  The local Pastor may need a new church sign or to repair the roof or repave the parking lot.  There may be hundreds of thousands of dollars in the escrow; but when that pastor asks the ntcc 'royalty' for permission to use this money, he is told to "take up an offering".  We ask:  WHY?  The congregation already gave the money in good faith expecting the church to apply those funds as advertised.  Why the need TO TAKE UP ANOTHER OFFERING?  In the world of slang that is called double-dipping and gold-bricking. In court it would be called FRAUD / FALSE PRETENSES.

Stonewalling / Lack Of Financial Transparency:
Many of these escrow accounts have been zeroed out over the years; and the money has gone into a black hole in Graham, Washington.  Nobody dares to question the leaders of this family business as to the whereabouts of this money, except for Vic Johanson.  They immediately shut him down with a lame excuse as to the whereabouts of approximately $10,000.00 dollars he collected on behalf of the congregation in the Alaskan ntcc he pastored.  The man who replaced him as pastor there never saw that money.  Hmmn....  *Presto!*  *Magico!*  *There goes the Escrow!* - never to be seen again by the congregation who gve the money in good faith it would be used as was described to them.  Another ntcc disappearing escrow.

One only needs to take a trip out to the great Northwest to see where their tax, oops, tithe dollars, escrow money, real estate transaction money and all other unexplained disappearance of church funds has gone. The streams and rivers of income feed into a big "lake" which we call the Graham Compound.

 Leviathan
 on Guard 

In this lake lives Leviathan. Leviathan can never be satisfied. Though he has everything he can possibly want; yet his quest for more riches and more wealth never ends. His insatiable thirst for money and wealth has desensitized him from the struggles and poverty of all those around him. His close knit group of nepotists and narcissistic control mongers all feed at this lake, never being satisfied.  What was it the bible said about the love of money?  It is the root of all evil.  Hmmn.  And that's not all.  Jesus also commanded:

Mat 6:19  Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

Mat 6:20  But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

Once again, the ntcc's top 'leaders' are contradicting the Word of God!

Many of those who read this will no doubt say that we are just 'bitter' and 'angry' at God.  We ask you to take a closer look at what is going on in the ntcc.

• Is it really all about God?
• Does God's love and mercy exist in this incorporated family business?
• Is the focus really on Jesus?
• Or are the main ntcc families using Jesus as a No Tax Cash Cow?

We know many will dismiss everything we say and continue to live under the control and manipulation of a few greedy families; but we would ask you to do one thing before you write us off.  Look at the life of Jesus in the New Testament.

• Ask yourself if Mathew, Mark, Luke and John gave any account of Jesus living like the leaders of the ntcc.
• Does the ntcc have the same respect or care for the poor as Jesus did?
• Is the ntcc laying up their treasures in Graham, Washington or in heaven?
• Did Jesus present a double standard such as what exists in the ntcc?

We hope those inside the ntcc will begin to take an honest look at the organization to which they belong.

We invite the ntcc leadership to comment; but we know that their positions are indefensible.  Because there is no explanation for their actions; they will not explain them.  That would require transparency and honesty;  which are traits they do not possess.  Their actions are not Christ-like; they are not Christian.
