Spiritual Cellulose: NTCC Preaches "Another Gospel" with Very Little Nutritional Value

Many people say they go to church to get fed spiritually.  The church world is a lot like the food industry in the United States.  Each restaurant and fast food joint claims to have the best food or the best prices; and each uses many sales tactics to convince consumers to buy their products.  Many groceries that we buy are marketed in the same way:  "Free Range Chickens", "Free Range Eggs", "Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice" and "Premium USDA Inspected Beef" are a few among the many terms used by the food industry to con you into buying their products.  But the FDA has few restrictions when it comes to definitions of these terms being so loosely used.

For example, a "Free Range" chicken can mean a chicken which shares a grass barn with a million other chickens.  But those "Free Range" chickens are just like their "Free Range" eggs which are all harvested in the barn.  They're really not roaming the countryside freely, enjoying sun and air and nature.

Notice that the Roosters or
'Pastors' are the only ones
allowed anywhere near freedom.

And how do you get 100% "Freshly Squeezed" orange juice 365 days a year?  The OJ might be freshly squeezed; but after that it is put into sealed tanks.  All the oxygen is taken out of it; and there it sits for up to a year before it reaches the grocery store shelf.  And what they don't tell you is that everything that makes it taste like orange juice sunk to the bottom of the tank; so later on they mix in f'lavor packets' that are like perfume fragrances to make your 'freshly squeezed' orange drink, that's been stored for a year, once again taste like real "freshly squeezed" OJ!  They even have loopholes which are allowed by the FDA that do not require big companies like Minute Maid to list the ingredients of these mystery flavor packets on their packaging.

"USDA Inspected" is another term.  It seems reassuring; but in fact it means very little in the meat industry.  Buyers of meat look for the cheapest product to save their money; and the meat industry has been allowed to take the cheapest cuts of meat and market them as "USDA Choice".  70% of all hamburger patties are made by a company called Beef Products, Inc.  They use a process of 'cleaning' the beef with ammonia gas so that it can pass e-coli inspections;  that enables it to have the government's stamp of approval so 'Beef Products' Inc. can compete with the few companies that actually use prime cuts of meat.  Do you ever wonder why a 12 minute trip to Taco Bell carries the consequence of a 12 roll session in the restroom?  [Just Kidding!]

As a truck driver, I have delivered all types of products to places across the USA.  One such delivery was 'Food-Grade Paper'.  Packaged as huge rolls of paper that weigh almost 7,000 lbs per roll, this product was delivered to a food company that had a pulp processing plant.  Not understanding why this paper looked a little different I asked their receiving personnel what the paper was used for.  They explained to me that it was 'Food-Grade Paper'; and it was processed into pulp which was processed into powder and used as a cheap replacement for more expensive 'fillers' like flour and oils!  What?  It's not for packaging?  No.  It winds up in your food.  It has no nutritional value; and is listed in the ingredients of your favorite food as "Cellulose".  Notice the close correlation between the words "Cellulose" and "Cellulite" - that pesky body fat that accumulates around your middle-aged gut; giving you the appearance of a Dunlap tire 'coz your stomach done lapped over your belt!  ;-)

Which has more wood
in it, the Bread or the
Chopping Block?

Cellulose comes from wood pulp, and is processed into huge rolls of 'Food-Grade Paper' that is a little thicker than construction paper and fairly coarse.  It is then put in your food to stretch the ingredients.  It is filler.  I looked it up on the internet; but it is not something that is very well advertised.  I had to do quite a few searches to find it.  But it was on a website that had a list of "The 6 most horrifying lies the food industry is feeding you".

What If Starbucks Marketed Like A Church?  Video on YouTube


Unfortunately, much of the church world operates in a similar fashion; and the ntcc is one of the worst offenders of all.  The ntcc leadership advertises that they "preach a living Christ to a lost and dying world".  They share that their version of the gospel is "pure" and "unadulterated".  But in truth, what they do is very similar to what the food industry does.  The food industry convinces people that they have the best product; and that is exactly what the ntcc tries to do in the church world.  In fact the ntcc will try to  convince you that they have the market cornered.  They will convince you that you will not find what they have to offer anywhere else.  And in a very subtle way they will tell you that nobody offers what they have to offer.

The ntcc will tell you that "God raised up Davis because nobody else was preaching the truth.  Everyone else was compromising."  The same is true on a smaller scale in the local ntcc churches.  If you don't believe me, try going to another church, and see how your ntcc pastor reacts.  He will react just the way he was taught to react by Davis, Kekel and the rest of the ntcc leadership. "If the other churches were right with God, He wouldn't have raised the ntcc up in these last evil days as a bastion of righteousness and holiness".  The ntcc's version of holiness does not wash away greed, covetousness, adultery or the hate they preach and teach to their congregations.  What they fail to realize is that all their righteousness is as filthy rags (used menstrual cloths) before God.  They might feed you a line that there are other churches "out there" [sic] outside the weird "church behind the fence'.  But they will freak out if you go and visit one of those 'other' churches!  They will try to blame and manipulate you with mystical hogwash like, "If God saved you here, why would you go there?"  Well, I was born in a hospital, but I sure didn't grow up in one.  The ntcc is always telling X-ers to move on.  We'd like to encourage you "in-ers" to do the same. Move on out of that hospital where you were born-again and grow up in a healthy church environment where you are Spirit led, not on lock-down.  After all, hospitals are where you go when you are born, sick, or fixin' to die.  You don't want to spend your whole life there!

The ntcc uses an extremely emotional approach to appeal to people called "Love Bombing".  But then they use some very sleazy sales tactics to get them to buy off on their bill of goods.  They use a lot of "Fluff" to draw people in:  free dinners, free rides to church, smiles and hugs at the door.  But once they get their hooks in you, they begin to reveal some pretty disturbing rules they will try to call only 'policies' or 'doctrine'.  But just try ignoring or breaking those rules and see how well that goes over.  You will be blasted from the pulpit in a smear campaign designed to cut you off from the flock.  Unfortunately, their fear tactics have proven quite effective over the years.  The people you thought were your friends will start avoiding you.  You will be looked at in a very different light.  You've been marked and are on your way out.  In ntcc you are expected to conform to the rules of man or be cast off.

They also use advertising slogans like "A Church of All Nations"; but after you become one of them you start hearing nigger jokes.  Then they will say if that offends you, you must be wrong because "They that love the Lord, nothing will offend them."   That is ntcc's twisted version of Psa 119:165 which actually states:  "Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them."  First of all, they are misquoting that scripture.  And secondly, that scripture is not meant to be an excuse for them to sow discord, or use evil jesting.  They are really abusing that scripture to tell you that you can't be angry with their sin.  But the Word says to "be angry and sin not"  [Eph 4:26].  Plus, try applying their standard to them.  Walk up to Mikey Kekel and slap him on the back and say, "What's up, Mike?"  Then, when he turns red and tries to blast you say, "What?  You aren't OFFENDED; are you, Mike?  Because "They that love the LORD, nothing will offend them."  Or try walking into church and give Tanya Kekel one of those scathing head to toe look-overs like what she does to you to make you feel like your kook-store attire does not meet her standards.  Make sure you look disgusted or scornful when you do this to her.  See how she reacts to that.  Will she be a shining example of Christian love?  Or will she stamp her $400 dollar pair of heels and pout to Mikey so he can blast you and say "WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?"  You see, in the ntcc there really is a double standard, a "do as I say, not as I do" hypocrisy that rules the 'leaders' actions.  They are hypocrites who preach one thing while demanding that you live a different thing.  They are like the food industry that promises something fresh; but in reality what you get has been sitting around getting stale.  They claim that they, and only they, "have the goods"; but what you are really getting is not %100 pure; instead it is full of man-made doctrines that are used as fillers to stretch the truth to fit their man-made agendas.  It's just a bunch of spiritual cellulose!

Another strategy ntcc uses to get the military involved is to promise them 'home cooked' meals; and they refer to their servicemen's homes as a "Home Away From Home"; but after you move in to their dysfunctional home, you must submit to all of their rules.  You first must pay tithe and give in offerings and pay a home offering and a separate food offering; you also must participate in every function every day and live according to ntcc's definition of holiness.  This in itself is bad enough, incorporating many non-scriptural man-made rules; but there are a lot of subtle and non-written rules you must also abide by; which all fall under their category of "Obey them that have the rule over you"; which can be found in Heb 13:17; but is largely abused by ntcc davis-wannabe megalomaniacs.  Did the author of Hebrews really intend for people to live in an environment where they have to obey some hypocritical, fault finding, micro managing, angry control freak?

The ntcc bible school, now called a cemetery, oops, seminary, slogan is "Preparing Youth with Truth in Holy Spirit Power".  I know this; because I tore the letter off of my high school letter jacket and sewed that big ugly yellow patch in it's place; because I was taught that pride was sinful and that displaying "a symbol of pride"  was wrong.  Well what's the difference between their patch or my High School's patch?  Does the ntcc really do what they claim?  Do they prepare youth with truth?  Let's see.  They teach bible school students that they can't be trusted to give another bible school student a ride in their car (even if their "oil-puking junker" is broken down on the side of the road) without first asking permission.  They teach them that they cannot fellowship with another brother or sister without ntcc's permission.  They can't borrow a plunger from another dorm without ntcc's permission.  Is all this based on truth?  Where in the Bible do you find that?  Is that the 13th commandment?  "Thou shalt not borrow thy neighbour's plunger unless pastor says so."  Let's continue.  They teach that it is a blessing to "scrub the toilet" of "the man of God", to clean their houses, and to clean their expensive cars and recreational vehicles and shine their shoes.  Is this all really preparing youth with truth?  Or is it teaching them to be slaves?  Meanwhile the board members relax with another drink and then fly out of town with nobody knowing where they are going or why.

What does the ntcc really have to offer its adherents that is good for their spiritual well being?  Most of what they offer is toxic; and they use a bunch of fillers and spiritual cellulose to make it all wash down.  "Preaching a Living Christ to a Lost and Dying World" sounds pretty good until you wake up decades later and realize that you are not only part of that dying world, but you have wasted the best years of your life by convincing others to follow a failed system that benefits a very few, while you witness others being trampled on for reasons that do not make any sense.  The ntcc needs a living Christ just as much if not more than the dying world that they preach to.  Their doctrine has run off more people than it has helped by far.  It's false advertising to say that you are the last move of God on planet earth and then treat people that you call your brother and sister like human excrement.  It's phony and hypocritical to live in luxury while expecting your members to foot the bill.  The bible is full of spiritual nutrition; but the ntcc causes it to be of no value when the leaders live contrary to the inflated advertisements they use to sell their gospel.

But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.  Gal 1:8

Crossing the Line - The NTCC Divorce Policy: Adultery on Demand Part 1

Broken Vows, Broken Hearts
Broken Marriages, Broken Homes
ntcc's Adultery-On-Demand Legacy

ntcc's Adultery-On-Demand legacy has destroyed countless marriages, broken up countless families, ruined childrens' lives, and caused countless souls to commit adultery.  The ntcc wants you to place your loyalty to the borginization above your loyalty to God.  The ntcc leadership wants you to obey their rules, even if it violates God's commandments.

This is something that we promised we would write about sometime ago.  A good friend and brother that I have not seen or talked to in many years wrote a message to me online; and this is an excerpt of part of that message.

"because my understandings of cults now, I recognize a line must be crossed to stay in and try to succeed in it (the ntcc) for life: No real friendships and marital loves because they interfere with cult loyalty, and especially with keeping all your eyes, ears, mind and decisions on the great leader...So, people who were sincere believers in Jesus, and wanted to sincerely love one another, would HAVE to forsake such things to stay in for life."

Marriage is a sacred vow taken before God.  And in most ceremonies we are reminded it is a lifelong commitment:   ""Til death do you part".  Here's what the New Testament says for all that believe the bible:

Mat 5:31-32 "It hath been said, whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:  But I say unto you, whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery, and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced, committeth adultery."

How much more plain can the Word of God be?  And again:

Luk 16:18  "Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband, committeth adultery."

How many fornicators and adulterers are in the ntcc?  The Apostle Paul had a lot to say about this subject also.  You believe Paul, don't you?

1Cor 7:10-11  "And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:  But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife."

Don't shoot the messenger, you ntcc'rs that believe in adultery on demand.  After all, you believe the bible; don't you?  There are more scriptures that we could point to; but if you don't believe these, then it is obvious that you have a pitchfork religion; and any other scriptures that we point to will not matter to you either.

Now, for those who are in the ntcc and live a sheltered life, we will give you the benefit of doubt to some degree, and assume that you are totally ignorant, and don't see any of the Adultery that has been taking place right before your eyes. For those that are ignorant, we are not going to link to the many instances and reports of members, (former or current), on FactNet and on this and other blogs, that show a pattern of broken marriages and split up families.  You will have to do that for yourself, and open your eyes, and take a look around you at what is happening in the ntcc.  Many people are blind because they choose to be blind.

Have you ever noticed how cults have exceptions to rules?  It's true.  Every cult that you find has certain scriptures that they misinterpret and change the meaning of.  Have you ever noticed how those disregarded scriptures allow them to commit a sin and live a lifestyle that is contrary to God's word?  Let's take polygamy for example.  Many of the polygamous cults disregard the New Testament and take multiple wives to themselves. They preach hell fire and brimstone, and require strict adherence to many biblical principles; but they disregard scriptures that pertain to the sins they wish to commit.

It's no different in the ntcc.  It starts at the very top.  I know that many think it's blasphemy to say anything 'negative' truthful about Rwd; but he is remarried; and there are many witnesses who can and have testified of his adulterous past.  It's all been hidden under a cloak of secrecy; and Rwd and his loyalists are not going to allow anyone to 'pry into' examine his past.  But it is there like a big pink elephant in a room that nobody wants to acknowledge or admit how out of place or wrong it is.

I'm not here to condemn anyone who has gone through a divorce. The purpose of this blog and the purpose of our life is not to preach at people; but if you are going to twist scriptures to extract money out of people by telling them that if they don't pay tithe and give in offerings that they are going to die and go to hell, then what other scriptures are you willing to twist to suit your false doctrine?  The ntcc are a bunch of phony hypocrites; that's what it boils down to.

We believe in Christianity; and we are tired of watching the ntcc ruin the lives of its members for greed, financial gain, and power.  The ntcc is so far from being a Christian organization; it's not funny.

What is wrong with being faithful to your wife or husband?  I've seen so many ntcc'rs throw their spouse under the bus to make themselves look good.  They sacrifice their marital loyalty and their family bonds so that they can kiss-up to the ntcc leadership.  The ntcc leadership has approached many husbands and wives and told them to leave their spouses because one of them comes to the realization that they are in a cult called ntcc.  This is not Christianity.  This is not biblical.

We are going to tell you a story about a couple that left the ntcc years ago.  We are not going to give any names or dates; but it is important for people to know part of this story; so they can see how abusive and destructive the ntcc is towards relationships and families.  This eventually can and probably will happen to you.

The people that we are sharing about are a very precious and loving couple.  They are considered by many that have been around them to be the perfect example of having a loving and Godly relationship.  We have been close to them and have deep respect for this couple.  They were deeply involved in the ntcc ministry, and had pastored Servicemen's homes, been missionaries in foreign countries, and taught at the bible school.

This couple had a miracle child and wanted the best for their child.  They wanted to raise their child properly and be responsible parents.  As a result, they chose to ignore certain man-made extra-biblical rules that the borg leaders want everyone except themselves to keep.  In other words, this couple chose to put the welfare of their child above the ridiculous rules of the ntcc leadership that does not keep the rules they force on others.

This couple's decision to protect their child is no different than anything the Kekels have done in the past; but it was considered an act of disloyalty by the ntcc leadership.

Consequently, the husband was approached by ntcc leadership and pressure was put on him to leave his family.  The wife was approached by Verna and Tanya and asked to leave her husband.  Verna and Tanya even made fun of this couple, not knowing that the woman overheard their hateful and catty comments.  But she had.  And she kept praying for her husband to come around so that the ntcc would not be able to destroy their marriage as has happened to so many others.

So, even though the ntcc leadership tried to split them up, the ntcc didn't account for the love that this couple had for one another and the love they had for God.

• This couple did the right thing and left the organization.  
• They didn't allow the organization and its corrupt leaders to destroy their marriage or their family.  
• They didn't leave God; they left a cult.  
• They didn't stop loving God; but they stopped giving their time, money, and life to a group of ungrateful money grubbing hypocrites that were going to suck the life out of them.

We know that the brainwashing that takes place in the ntcc is very damaging and the longer people stay in, the harder it is for them to realize that they are in a cult.  We were there.  We know.  The ntcc is great at scrutinizing others -- measuring them with a super-spiritual yardstick and hypocritically condemning others for the very same things that they are guilty of.  But we encourage you to scrutinize the ntcc leadership:

• Do they live what they preach?  
• Do they keep the same rules they put on you?  
• Do they obey God's Word?  
• Or do they encourage divorce and adultery?  

We ask ntcc'rs to take a closer look at what you have decided to be a part of.  Don't be a part of the ntcc's "Adultery on Demand" program.  We implore you to consult with God before you allow someone to destroy your marriage.  If you don't believe us, believe your bible and do the right thing.

Mark 10:6-9:  verse9:  What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

Rules for Fools

Once upon a time there was a salesman turned preacher named R-dub, aka rodger wilson davis. R-dub was part of an organization called Pentecostal Church of God. As the story goes, R-dub had a little problem with the rules, mainly the "Thou shalt not commit adultery rule." Rules are made to be broken; or so we have heard; and R-dub decided to fold up his circus tent and take his show somewhere else. Why should HE have to follow someone else's rules?

So R-dub got a wild hair and decided to pedal his gospel under his own banner.  Why follow somebody else's rules when you can make up your own and keep all the profits?  R-dub is as wise as a serpent and as subtle as one too!  [Gen. 3:1]  He found his own angle and developed a grande sales scheme to become rich beyond his wildest dreams.  To pull this off, he would have to surround himself by only the most loyal suck-ups and yes-men that he could find.  To do this he would have to make up some controlling rules and have a litmus test to see who would be loyal to him and who would follow him with unquestioning loyalty and unwavering servitude.

 Obey the MOG
 OR ELSE !!!
 See Rule #1 

The rules that R-dub would institute would have to be masked by Christianity; and people would have to believe that these rules were not his; but that they came from God above.  In order to pull this scam off, R-dub would first need to pass as a deity himself.  Jesus, the True God, is known as the Son of man.  So R-dub would have to be the next best thing:   the man of God (or MOG).  Not only did davis need to be respected and revered; but he needed the praises and worship of men.  This was a very tall order and to pull it off R-dub created Rules for Fools.

Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane,

1 Tim 1:9(p)

The first and most important rule that was necessary was the "Any thing with two heads is a freak" rule.  It was of utmost importance that everyone understood that R-dub and R-dub alone was in charge.  His voice was to be God's voice.  He was to be our Moses;  and we all were to be 'God's chosen' wandering around in the wilderness for forty years.  For every rule to be followed there was a need for supporting scripture to make that rule seem like it came from God.  The "Obey them that have rule over you" scripture was stretched to its limits and twisted to fit every situation where there was no other scripture that could justify control in the life of a fool.  This is all we were to them:  fools with, in tanya kekel's words, "strong backs, but weak minds".

Another scripture that really came in handy was the "touch not mine anointed" line; which not only was taken out of context, but it was a great tool to instill fear into the hearts of R-dub's followers.  Then there was the "you can not serve two masters at the same time" scripture that was used to ensure nobody else would over rule davis.

Now that R-dub's empire was growing and he had a small group of rag-tag loyalists to follow his every whim and crack of the whip, he needed to create more loyal followers to accomplish his ultimate goal which was:  You guessed it!!!! To bring in Money!!!!  This was accomplished by opening the "School of Rules for Fools" otherwise known as the New Testament Christian Seminary (ntcs), or bible school (bs), or cemetery (oops) seminary, or whatever you prefer to call it.  Now they had a place to indoctrinate or brainwash people into believing that this whole scam was of God.  This was accomplished through three techniques:  Psychological Misdirection, Cognitive Illusions and Mental Forcing.  These three ideas are found in Magic acts and are used in Circuses to get people to think they are witnessing a miracle when they are actually being forced into believing an illusion.

Psychological misdirection involves tricking people into fixating on something big in order to make other details seem less important or trivial.   In the spiritual realm a cult leader will emphasize heaven and hell while he slips in a rule.  Have any of you ever experienced this before?  Let's do a little preaching here to demonstrate this principle:  WHAT SHALL IT PROFIT IF A MAN SHALL GAIN THE WORLD AND LOSE HIS OWN SOUL?  IS IT WORTH ONE NIGHT IN THE SACK WITH A PROSTITUTE TO MISS OUT ON HEAVEN?  IS IT WORTH ONE MORE DRINK? IS IT WORTH TELLING A LIE?  WOULD YOU CHOSE TO LET YOUR FAMILY MAKE THIS DECISION FOR YOU?  SOME PEOPLE WILL ALLOW THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS TO INFLUENCE THEM TO STOP SERVING GOD.  YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO SOUL WINNING EVERY NIGHT; YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO TO PRAYER MEETINGS, YOU DON'T HAVE TO OBEY THE MAN OF GOD TO GO TO HEAVEN. HELL IS FULL OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE LISTENED TO THE ADVICE OF THEIR FAMILIES.  JESUS SAID, "AND EVERYONE THAT HATH FORSAKEN HOUSES, OR BRETHREN, OR SISTERS, OR FATHER, OR MOTHER, OR WIFE, OR CHILDREN, OR LANDS, FOR MY NAMES SAKE SHALL RECEIVE AN HUNDRED FOLD, AND SHALL INHERIT EVERLASTING LIFE.  MAT 19:29  SOME PEOPLE NEED TO CUT THE UMBILICAL CORD.  MAMA AIN'T GOING TO GET YOU TO HEAVEN.  ONLY JESUS CAN GET YOU TO HEAVEN. YOU GOTTA LOVE HIM MORE THAN MAMA; YOU GOTTA LOVE HIM MORE THAN PAPA, YOU GOTTA LOVE HIM MORE THAN SISTER OR BROTHER OR YOUR BEST FRIEND OR YOU WILL SPLIT HELL WIDE OPEN.

Can anyone shout amen?  Let's break this down.  What is actually being accomplished by this preaching?  First of all scriptures are being manipulated to create an illusion.  We are not disputing that God has to be first in your life but come on.  If you take Mat 19:29 to the extreme, you would never be allowed to live in a house or to own property or to communicate with your family members.  In the above preaching excerpt the idea is to take your mind off of the rules and make you fear eternal damnation.  When people hear this kind of preaching, it causes them to do a few things.  It justifies everything they have been doing and takes their mind off of things they should be thinking about.  It causes them to stay so busy soul winning and praying and reading and attending functions and services that they don't realize or question the double standards that are right in front of them:  How the person screaming at them from the pulpit does not 'go soulwinning' and does visit his 'sinner' family.  These pulpit bullies are Pharisees who "say and do not".  They are hypocrites who tell you to live one way, while they live a different way.  They condemn you for even wanting to enjoy the simple things in life like friends and family; yet they take the time to enjoy friends and family.  They tell you not to own a house; yet they own multiple houses.  Could it be they just want to keep you as a renter in their condemned property?  They have used religion to control you for their private benefit.

Cognitive Illusions are then used to convince people that what they are a part of is the 'move of God' and not man.  In the ntcc an illusion is created that God can only be found there.  Every other religion is wrong; and if you ask an ntcc preacher they will tell you that every other doctrine is a fallacy except for theirs.  Just as any other cult will use scriptures to disprove other denominations, it is no different with the ntcc.  In the ntcc you will find that people are moved by emotion.  Emotion is the oil that lubricates the machine.  They are masters at bringing out the emotions in people.  I am no exception.  I am very emotional and I can cry when reading my bible.  The bible is full of compelling stories that can pull on your heart strings and jerk tears right out of you.  When these ntcc preachers or illusionists take stories in the bible that cause you to get emotional, you focus on only those things that you are feeling.  You don't look at anything that is wrong; and you don't ask questions.  An emotional atmosphere is created where people are totally dependent on feelings.  I've seen some crazy stuff take place around the altar at ntcc services; because the preacher created an illusion that fed off of the emotions of people.  A lot of this emotion is sincere and comes from the heart; but it is used to keep people from seeing what is obvious.  They are in a cult and don't know it.

The easiest way to snap out of this emotional roller coaster ride is to follow the money trail.  People refuse to do this in the ntcc because the emotional feelings are what they rely on to justify the investment they have made into the ntcc.  A huge illusion has been created and people can not see what is really going on right before their eyes.

Cognitive Illusion:  Color Changing Card Trick:  Video Link


Mental forcing is the final tactic the ntcc magicians use to get you to believe that you are following them of your own free will.  I can't emphasize how important it is for you to believe that you are following the leaders of the ntcc of your own free will.  Mental forcing is a mind control technique that has been used by leaders of countries and religions for years to force people to do what those leaders want the people to do by making the people believe their actions are results of their own decisions; and their choices are made of their own free will.  How many times have you heard the expression, "You are a free moral agent"?  What's really being said here:  'We aren't going to force you to serve God; you have to make that decision for yourself.  However, we are going to imply that serving God our  way is the only  way.  We are going to subtly slip in some control parameters to keep you in line; which will control you for as long as you will allow.'

For the ntcc this is done for money and power.  At the very top of the food chain in the ntcc you will find greed, double standards, and hypocrisy.  To make this possible you have been manipulated and lied to.  You are nothing more than a fool to R-dub and those he has surrounded himself with.  The ntcc relies on your gullibility to keep their illusions in place.  The internet is exposing ntcc for what they really are.  How does it feel to be played as a fool for decades of your life?  It's a betrayal that cuts so deep and hurts so many.  It's not all about Jesus.  It's not about souls or going to heaven.

 Sign Before Reading! 

When I attended the ntcc bible school, students were required to sign a paper stating they would obey all the rules, BEFORE they even know what the rules are that they are promising to obey.  Sounds like rules for fools.  But that is how it is in the ntcc:
It's all about a bunch of rules for a bunch of fools.   Let's isolate these fools from the rest of society so we can take their money. They will think they are giving it freely.

 The fool hath said
 in his heart,
 [There is]
 no God. 

Let's make these fools think they are the only ones going to heaven; so they will think there is no other way to make it to heaven outside of the ntcc.  Let's teach them to 'touch not mine anointed'; so they will never say anything bad about us after we use them up and kick them to the curb.
We will make them feel  worthless if they leave the ntcc. We will get them to believe it is their fault, that they are no longer serving God.  We will make them feel  that without us they are nothing, they have nothing, they will never amount to anything without us; they will depend on us for everything, or they will be fools without us. They will amount to nothing if they leave us; they will be big Zeros in life; and they will have nothing set aside to succeed in life; because we have taken everything from them.

 If You Really
 Love God,
 You Would ... 

We have done this all under the guise of Christianity. We will make them feel like it is a sin to attend a wedding or a funeral for a family member. We will tell them how to dress, what to eat, who to visit, and with whom they may  keep company.

We will keep information from them so they remain fools for our cause.  We can't be transparent with our money; or they will know we are playing them for fools; so we will keep their noses out of our business by making them think  that the money they give actually goes to reach souls for Christ.  We will keep them under subjection by making them feel  like fools if they step out of line.  We will treat them like fools if they question us.  We will humiliate them openly from behind the pulpit if they break our rules.  We are the ntcc leaders and we have come up with an ultimate scheme to make us rich and unaccountable to anyone.   We will use the Gospel of Jesus Christ; and we will seek out and find the fools of this world.  We will prey upon the foolish; and we will become rich doing it.

 See then that ye walk circumspectly,
 not as fools, but as wise, Eph 5:15 

If you think all of this sounds far fetched; and you wish to keep allowing these magicians and salesmen to control every aspect of your life, then it would be so easy for you to write us off as the fools and to continue in the direction that you have been convinced is best for you.  We implore you to take a closer look at what you are involved in.  Common sense and human decency begs you to take a closer look at what choices you have made and what you are getting other people involved in.  You say "If this is crazy, let me stay crazy".  Put aside all the cult jargon and compare what you are doing in the ntcc with the bible and with what Jesus did.  Are you a fool for Christ or a fool for the ntcc?

What About ntcc's Becky and John R.?

In a post on Jeff's blog an anonymous commenter posted the following comment:

What do you make of people like J P [R] and his wife Becky? I spent a lot of time with them in the mid-80's and I am certain they were very decent people who loved God. I wonder how can they stay in the NTCC organization? (I could name other very decent Pastors in the organisation) comment link

We answered with the following response:

I spent time with Becky and John [R] in Hawaii a couple of times while on leave from Korea. They were very nice folks and didn't seem to have the same judgmental attitude towards folks as others in the ntcc had. While I was on vacation, they showed me around the island; and we actually had a real good time. They didn't spend every waking moment lamenting over lost souls and stumping for tithes and offerings.


Lately I have had Becky and John R. on my mind and have been wanting to do this post for a while. In the short time that I spent with them they made a lasting impression; and most what I remember was good. They had what seemed to be real love in their hearts for people; and I never got the feeling that they were in it for the money. There were a few other couples in the ministry that left me with similar memories.

Maybe because I didn't spend much time around them I didn't see the side of them that seems to be in most of the ntcc leadership.  Maybe they are just good people that love God and are making the best out of a very bad situation.  It was mentioned by Jeff and others that Becky and John R. must have turned a blind eye to much of what went on in the ntcc.  They also no longer communicate with their family to include Deborah and Gregory.  This came about because mike kekel showed private letters to Becky and John R. that were written between Gregory S. and mck.  Not only was this a breach of confidence but was used to sow discord among brethren and to drive a wedge between lifelong family bonds.  This is proof that when people leave the ntcc they are no longer considered to be in good standing with God.  We have often made reference to the ntcc claims that they are God's last move on earth and that the ntcc thinks they are the only true church on planet earth.  These actions substantiate these claims and vindicate those that have been wrongfully cast away by the leaders of the ntcc.

Here is what I think.  In my own experience there are many folks in the ntcc that are just like we were.  Do you remember the days when all you cared about was living for God?  Do you remember when you were young and impressionable and would do anything to please God and the men and women that you thought were there to help you along the way in your life for God?  But ntcc perverted the gospel and used us.  We gave everything we had to them until there was nothing else to give.  They broke us down until we had no willpower left; and when we were no longer of any use to ntcc, they kicked us to the curb.

At one time we drew a line and said we would never cross it.  Then we saw it crossed by others in the ntcc; and in time we moved that line.  It reminds me of how lawyers start out:  Wanting to make a difference in the world.  They start out on fire and want to practice law to help people; and soon they find out that to win a case they have to misrepresent the facts.  To help a client they find themselves violating ethical practices that they never dreamed of violating.  Pretty soon they become farther and farther away from what they know is right; and it becomes common practice to lie and use deceit to win a case.

This is what the ntcc does to people.  There are still good people that have been trapped in that cult for decades and John and Becky R. may be among them.  Sometimes  we find ourselves guilty of having an "Us against Them" attitude; and in our zeal to expose the ntcc,  we don't recognize the fact that many ministers are caught up in the same hopeless situation we were caught up in.  There are many in the ntcc that we still respect and love.   We care enough to warn them and hope they eventually find their way out.  It's the establishment and the leadership of the same that we hate.   I can only imagine what some of the old-timers think when they see the blatant hypocrisy and double standards in Graham, Washington.  What can they do?  Many are now in their 50's and 60's and have very few options and even less money.  They see that the line of compromise has moved.  Standards have changed, 'holiness' has pretty much been thrown out the window; and everything that these ministers once stood for is virtually gone.

 ntcc's Becky and John R. 

To Becky and John R.,  maybe it is not my place to say this to them; but if John and Becky happen across this post I would like to make one suggestion to you.  Get back in touch with your family.  I'm sure they love you more than the folks in Graham.   They say that blood is thicker than water; and I say it is not a sin to love your families.   Some might say, "Who are you to give the [Becky and John R.] advice"?  I'm nobody.  Just an old friend.

While researching the proper way to make the plural form of the name R-s, we came upon this gem:

When a family name (a proper noun) is pluralized, we almost always simply add an "s." So we go to visit the Smiths, the Kennedys, the Grays, etc.When a family name ends in s, x, ch, sh, or z, however, we form the plural by added -es, as in the Marches, the Joneses, the Maddoxes, the Bushes, the R-zes. Do not form a family name plural by using an apostrophe; that device is reserved for creating possessive forms.

When a proper noun ends in an "s" with a hard "z" sound, we don't add any ending to form the plural: "The Chambers are coming to dinner" (not the Chamberses); "The Hodges used to live here" (not the Hodgeses). There are exceptions even to this: we say "The Joneses are coming over," and we'd probably write "The Stevenses are coming, too."  A modest proposal: women whose last names end in "s" (pronounced "z") should marry and take the names of men whose last names do not end with that sound, and eventually this problem will disappear.   Source link.

This reminds me of Becky and John telling me that when they got married, the "s" on John's last name had to kick the "z" out of Becky's maiden name.  Boot to the "z" ;~} 

Married Children in the ntcc

What is it with the leadership of the ntcc and their desire to marry off their daughters before they are of age?  I wracked my brain with this question and finally a light bulb came on.

The reason that the ntcc does this is because they know when that girl turns 18 and has the right to make her own decisions, that she is going to "choose the world" over marrying a 28 year old drooling man and being a barefoot-and-barren-in-the-kitchen cult member for the rest of her life.  Who in their right mind would choose that for themselves?

If you look at the mortality rate for kids in the ntcc, it is somewhere in the high 90's percentile.  I'm referring to them leaving the ntcc and becoming dead to their parents and the ntcc leadership.  How many of the ntcc preachers' kids have grown up in that cult and chosen to stay after turning 18?  Does anyone know of any besides the females that are married off in their mid-teens?  There might be some, but very few.  What kind of testimony is it that if these ministers that are involved in God's so called "last move on earth", can not even get their family members into heaven?

The solution for this problem was figured out by none other than rwd who experimented with his own daughter.  Perhaps she was rebelling against the holiness doctrine as she does to this day. The so called Holiness Doctrine was only used as a tool to keep people in line, and to control and manipulate them.  Whatever, the reason, rwd sought him out a man, several years older than his mid teenage daughter to intervene so that his daughter would not jump ship when the time came to make that decision for herself.  If we as adults could not think for ourselves, how much more would a 15 or 16 year old girl not be able to resist the "advice" of rwd or johnson or olson or anyone else in that authoritative position?

Tanya was to be the Incubator for one Grant Kekel, the heir apparent to the throne of the ntcc.  I can only imagine that when Tanya Kekel was in her early teens, rwd sought out and found a man with like morals and unscrupulous character that could marry his daughter a day after her 17th birthday and take over a corrupt organization that would be able to keep the cult intact while transitioning it into compromise.   While Grant Kekel is off at secular college living the life of an ordinary 'sinner', which is what we would have been classified as back in the day if we went to secular college or played football and participated in all the activities that went along with that, rwd and mike kekel are continuing to do what they do best and that is build a financial empire while manipulating people for financial gain.

Old Time Preaching Replaced by Skits and Workshops

What is this madness?  I guess things are just not working out for the ntcc anymore.  Not too long ago they used to have old fashioned Camp Meetings and Holy Ghost filled Conferences, or so it seemed; preaching and teaching and fellowshipping is now to be replaced by a new and progressive style of religious antics.  A spiritual feast?  The foolishness of preaching is being replaced by the foolishness of conference-style services and activities while the "power and demonstration" are to be replaced by skits and demonstrations.  


I know I'm getting old and sometimes the possibility of dementia creeping in is a scary thought but are you kidding me?  When all else fails it's time for the ntcc to have workshops about ministry related topics such as music, choirs, PA systems, Church Admin, Children's Church and more!   These sound like very exciting times in the ntcc.  Let's pack up our oil puking junkers and drive a couple thousand miles to Washington so they can give us campus tours and hand out information packets for potential students and aspiring ministers.  Excuse me a second while I ram two fingers deep into my throat so I can puke at the thought of what the ntcc has turned into.  While these people are continuing down this path of compromise and activities I guess that God is going to have to move through another organization and raise up another man so that His gospel of Christ being lifted up and glorified can be preached.  It's just not happening any more in the ntcc.  


In all fairness, I guess there's nothing wrong with skits and workshops, but come on!  This is the very thing that Rev. Davis and Ashmore used to preach about.  Worldliness and religion.  If we can't get our numbers up by preaching old time salvation through the blood of Christ let's do something new.  Activities, tours, skits, demonstrations and workshops and at the bottom of the list is prayer meetings.  It's gonna be awesome!!  It's gonna be fun!!  It's gonna save you money on food and hotel expenses?  Please explain this one to us mIke.  Are you going to open up your homes and motor homes to church members so they can have a place to camp out?  Or is attendance so far down that the dorms are empty?  If for no other reason, come to conference because Washington is beautiful.


What really gnaws at my gizzard is the final disclaimer in this announcement.  "Some things listed above are subject to change but the date and place of the conference is confirmed".  That's just wonderful.  You mean we are going to pack up our crayons, construction paper and scissors and drive all the way to Washington just to find out that the agenda has changed?  You are going to lure us thousands of miles out to Graham in hopes of seeing skits and demonstrations, just to do what, take up a bunch of offerings?   When will you realize that it's not working anymore?  You can't change the house of God into a theater and expect people to come from all around to see skits and demonstrations.  Or maybe you can if you are a cult and your members are so brainwashed that they don't know the difference anymore.
