Beatings, Rape, Bloody Nose - and Tanya Kekel took My Son Away - What Did She or Others Do To Him? Graham, WA 1994

The series of Julie's life as an alleged sex slave for the NTCC 'leaders' continues. This portion of her life describes more beatings, rape, and a bloody nose allegedly from Mike Kekel. But equally troubling is the alleged participation of Tanya Kekel in setting up this "alone time" for Mike and Julie, while removing Julie's son, Thomas, against Julie's protests. We may never know what took place that day in his life when young Thomas disappeared with Tanya Kekel. But his actions when returned home to his battered mother Julie are very telling. It was horrible enough to suffer the alleged rapes and beatings; but now they were taking her son too? To do what? Julie alleges she took a beating for begging to have her son with her that day in 1994 at Kekel's home in Graham, Washington. In Julie's words:

We get to Washington. Move into a place where a lot of people from NTCC were living in fact only a couple of the apartments had people that weren’t apart of NTCC. I start classes again and it was a challenge. I still had trouble with the reading and writing and taking notes. I got myself in trouble a few times because of it. I hadn’t been in Washington but a few weeks before I was called to supposedly help Tanya [Kekel] but she wasn’t the one asking [Mike] Kekel was the one. I get a ride over there he had told me to bring [my young son] Thomas so I thought maybe it won’t be sex or anything like that. I arrive Tanya was taking [her son] Grant [Kekel] somewhere but [allegedly] needed another child to go with her to this activity. I told her I didn’t want Thomas going without me. I didn’t like the idea of him being away from me. I didn’t tell her I didn’t trust her which was going through my mind. Kekel says remember I am in charge. God has given me the authority to know what is best for your child. I tried again but there was no winning the argument. She left with both boys. I am sick at that point fearing how my son would be treated but having no idea once again what to do. Tanya leaves me with cleaning orders. Kekel is supposed to be working on something and she says not to bother him. She isn’t gone long before Kekel is in my face. He tells me I am going to get a spanking for arguing with the man of God. I have no idea that he can’t actually do this being I am adult. He is playing on my ignorance. I am terrified for he is brutal in his spankings and I know sex will follow which with a brutal spanking sex will hurt worse. He undresses me from the waist down. I beg him not to do it. I told him as a mother I hate to be away from my son this is why I spoke. I told him it is making me sick that he is gone at that moment. He said so you admit you argued with your God-given authority. I am going to have spank the rebellion out of you. He quoted scriptures about discipline to me as he had me bend over. I didn’t undress for a few days in front of my then husband [Donny Ridgeway] not knowing how to explain the marks. This time he [Mike Kekel] gave me some stuff that made the marks disappear in a few days. It was a container with no label so I have no idea what it was. By the third day I couldn’t tell I had had any marks. All he told me was it was for adults after a spanking. Once again I was too ignore to question him. He [Mike Kekel] did have sex with me again that day. He said God sent you back to me for he knows I need additional pleasure in my life and it helps my stress level of having to deal with difficult people that refuse to obey their God-given authority.

After he was done I clean up really quickly fearing if I didn’t get the cleaning orders done Tanya would spank me as well. She had spanked me in the past. I didn’t think with a sick stomach, stress, a spanking, and unwanted sex my body could take another spanking. So I began to move very quickly with the cleaning.

 Why Would Tanya Kekel Knowingly Leave Her
 Husband Mike Alone with Julie?  What Did Tanya
 Do with Julie's Son Thomas After Removing Him
 From His Mother Julie Against Her Protests?
 To Us These Allegations Indicate Sex Trafficking.
 In Our Opinion, They Implicate Tanya Kekel
 In Both The Rape Of Julie and Possible Gross
Activity [Sex With?] the Young Boy, Thomas Ridgeway.

Tanya walks in the door I just barely got done. Thomas comes barreling at me wanting to be held in fact he wanted to be held until I went to class that night. All he said about the day was Tanya was rude. Tanya walked around the house complained a couple of times but said nothing more. So I went home to get dinner and get ready for class that night.

I was so overwhelmed. I couldn’t focus on class that night which led me to typing crazy notes since I had nothing to go on for them.

This scene played a 6 more times while I was in my second round of being at “the cemetery”. I would be called to the Kekels to cleaning and bless the leaders. The things I saw and witnessed with these leaders are just sickening including finding Kekel’s playboy collection.

 Silenced by beatings and threats of damnation
 Julie was "left to carry the weight" alone.
 Whom could she tell without them going
 to borg leaders and reporting it? Then, she
 alleges, spankings / beatings would follow. 

Kekel would tell me all the time how God had given me unto him. It made it hard not to view him unclothed. It also made it difficult to have to ask his permission about other things. I was left to carry this weight having to pretend I wasn't hurting inside. I wanted to have someone care to know the pain my heart was in. I would be around the ladies including one of my neighbors who faithfully took me grocery shopping yet I was scared into silence on the matter. I tried to tell Joan but of course Kekel found out. I was accused of lying. I began to think I was commenting adultery the more I listened to things said at Graham. I was confused since Kekel would say it was God’s will but in the next breath he would accuse me of sinning for making him long for my body. He told me he even dreamed of sex with me at night. I had no idea he was the one sinning and he was commenting a crime.

Two of the times he went off the normal course and had me do oral sex instead of on all four. He said he needed this instead because there were bible school students that were stressing him way out and his wife didn’t want to do it. He would talk about people during our time together. He would talk bad about the building crew, bible school students, he would say all the people that work on the campground were dumb a—air heads and the women were the worst. I had no idea who was at the campground all I thought is well he seems to think of them the same he feels about me. He even downed some of the leaders. He would name people and ask if I had had sex with them. No matter the answer I gave it was the wrong one and he would accuse me of lying and slap me I was standing for this. One of times that he slapped me I tripped causing my nose to hit something. I ended up with a bloody nose. When asked about it since I had a small bruise I said I tripped and hit my nose which was only part of what happened.

There is probably more details that aren’t coming to mind at this point about these times in Graham but will come to me later.

To Be Continued...

All of this is so horrible. We can not imagine how Julie survived this life. Only the grace of God could bring somebody through this constant cycle of allegedly being treated as a sex slave. And now with these allegations coming to light about Tanya participating, it is even worse.

Tanya Reynolds Davis Kekel was born to a Filipino woman, Elizabeth Reynolds, who gave her up for adoption. Davis raised her in the NTCC, constantly bellowing out his version of holiness- NEVER BE ALONE WITH SOMEONE OF THE OPPOSITE SEX [gender].

• Why would Tanya orchestrate this alone-time for her hubby Mike with Julie St. Clair?
• Why didn't Tanya respect Julie's protests and leave Thomas with Julie - his mother?
• Where did Tanya take Thomas?
• What happened to Thomas?
• Why was he clingy - "wanting to be held"?
• Why did he say Tanya was "rude"?
• In an earlier post, Julie described Mike Kekel as being "rude".  Since then Julie has shared that allegedly Kekel's "rude" behavior included spankings / beatings and raping her.
• Did Thomas' description of Tanya cover equally ugly behavior by Tanya (the spankings and rapes) that Julie's description of Kekel covered of Mike's behavior? Is that what "rude" means? - A violent sexual predator? We have to wonder.

None of this makes any sense in a so-called holiness church that beat their drums about never being alone with someone of the opposite sex. Unless the leaders are all hypocrites; (which evidence says they are). Then it all makes sense: They say the opposite of what they do:

1. Davis said, Don't be alone with somebody of the opposite sex; but Davis was seen going into houses of women whose husbands were at work. One, Pam Norton, testified of Davis' lewd sexual actions with her.
2. Davis said match-making was wrong. Yet Davis set up rules that stopped anyone from even talking to other single people unless Davis approved of it. That, friends, IS MATCHMAKING! HELLO!
3. Davis yelled at pregnant women saying they would have to answer to God for ruining their husband's ministry since children hinder the work of Gawd. But Davis went out of his way to the Philippines to adopt Tanya Maxamillia Reynolds Davis Kekel.

Those are 3 examples of Davis DOING THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT HE SAID. That is proof Davis was a hypocrite. And as we all heard many, many times from the mouth of NTCC Executive Board Member Joey Olson: "... Davis IS the organization." So guess what? The NTCC is run by HYPOCRITES who DO what they say should never be done.

UPDATE:  May 3, 2014

I cleaned M. Kekel's house before too. He hit me on the butt once. I went to Olson about it. M. Kekel claimed he bumped my butt accidently and nothing more was said. It bothered me but I thought I was in the wrong. This confirms I wasn't wrong. He hit my butt on purpose. I think he was testing to see what he could get away with before he tried more. I am disgusted by how far you got with you Julie.

1990 Kekel Raped Me On The Seminary Campus for New Testament Christian Church In Graham, Washington

Following is an account e-mailed to us by Julie St. Clair Ridgeway. She explains how a life of abuse at home from the people who raised her in the NTCC, Ralph and Joan St. Clair, led to abuse from many other people in her life (read more). With no way of knowing what is normal other than what she was told or experienced, she had no way to defend herself from these attacks. After escaping NTCC and learning about life outside a cult, she began to understand what had happened to her. As a result she now alleges that the present NTCC CEO, Michael Craig Kekel, raped her in 1990 when she was 16 and newly wed to Donny Ridgeway. From Julie's e-mail:

 NTCC CEO M.C. 
 KEKEL - Accused 
 of Raping a Child 
 in 1990 at NTCS! 

As I take on the writing this part of my life I cringe wondering if I will just receive more judgment than understanding.  You have to know I have lived most of my life away from the other side world. It was a shock to me in 2013 when someone finally got me to understand that Ralph St.Clair having sex with me as a child was wrong and it wasn’t my fault. I believe the lies I was told that I made him fall for me. I was the evil slut. He was clean before God I was the dirty one is what I was told.

I am now going to share that the sexual abuse didn’t stop when I got married. It continued even while I was married. I hated it with a passion yet I had to pretend everything was okay but wasn’t okay. Every time I was alone my heart ached I hated it and I thought the whole world hated me too.

I am bawling just thinking and typing this so please bear with me.

I lived in fear of the Graham campus on about every level. Certain buildings scared me more than others. I would start trembling inside at arrival upon the grounds. I knew I had to hold back my feelings for knew there would be a price to pay if I showed them. I learned this very well. In fact they had me believing they could spank me even in my adulthood. I was told men had all power and I must do whatever they said; I was never too old for them to spank me. Growing up in NTCC I had no opportunity to learn anything else.

Kekel who loved to spank me all through my childhood seem to be just waiting until I got married to have even worse dealings with me. The leaders’ wives would sometimes be the ones that picked me up to go to the Kekel’s house. It makes me wonder how much some of these wives knew yet said nothing.

 Kekels' Custom House as seen when leaving the campus.
 Though he has moved into other mansions, this "custom house"
 holds vivid memories of rape for Julie St. Clair Ridgeway. 

The first time after I was married. I was called told that Kekel wanted me to come to his house and do some cleaning. Some comments he had made before made me wonder if I was in trouble and going to get a spanking. I got dropped off. I walked to the door I was shaking so badly. Once he let me inside I realized really quickly no one else was home. As I stumbled all over my words I asked where his wife was at. He said she was gone for the day. I realized once again I was alone with a man. I was scared. I wanted to run. One of the thing I was taught if a girl ran in this situation God would sometimes send fire from heaven and cause burns on the girl’s body. I had a phobia of fire; I wasn’t sure if I wanted to find out if this was one of these times. Plus I wasn’t sure where to run, no one on that campus would help me since this was God’s Will for me.

He took a belt and started beating me. He told me to quickly get undressed. I was sixteen years old. I didn’t know what the news was at this time. I had never read the paper I had seen the comics before but knew nothing else about the paper. I had never watched the news on TV. I didn’t know about rape and abuse. What was happening was normal as it came for me? I thought I was sinning because I hated what was happening. One might ask how can you have not understood how wrong this was and how to stop it. It is like someone being locked away never seeing the modern things in life and someone expecting them to understand how everything works. I didn’t know what was right and wrong.  I just knew I was hurting really bad and no one seemed to care.

 I was called told that Kekel wanted me to come to his house and do some cleaning. ...
 He took a belt and started beating me. He told me to quickly get undressed. ...
 In the blur of the moment as I was undressing I didn’t realize he had unclothed as well.
 He told me to get on all four. I knew this was going to be a difficult  battle
 for with cerebral palsy I had a hard time holding that position.
 He said I heard from Ralph that having sex with you is some of the best.
 He put himself in me and as expected I couldn’t stay up and I crumbled to the floor.
 He began spanking me than finally told me to get in position again.  
 This happened 4 times before he actually came in me.
 I was in so much pain but I knew I had to keep from crying.
 He had me clean up and get dress. He told me to get dress
 than he gave me a few things to do around the house.

This happened 4 times before he actually came in me. I was in so much pain but I knew I had to keep from crying. He had me clean up and get dress. He told me to get dress than he gave me a few things to do around the house. He told me if I was ever sloppy with sex with him again I would pay dearly for it. I wasn’t sure what that would mean with Kekel. I only knew what this meant with Davis and others.

The next time with him I did learn what he was saying when he said I would pay dearly for it. Once again I was brought over by one of the leaders’ wives. There was a repeat of the last time. This time I started crying which I had for the most part been able to control for I had been taught to not have emotions. Happy was the only way I was allowed to be. I still to this day punish myself for having emotions. It is a struggle for me. This time he teased me and made me come half way than laughed told me to get up clean up and get dress. So I did as I was told. This was part of my punishment.

I was accused later of ruining Tanya’s tablecloth. I had not even been at the table the last time I was there.

I was dying inside. I wanted to tell someone what was happening but was so scared so I started telling people a tiny bit of what took place in my childhood. They all went to Davis about what I said. The next thing I knew I was in a board meeting which didn’t go well. Davis decided to send us back to San Antonio Texas. Kekel and Davis were so angry with me. They scared me so badly that I went into silence for years fearing there was no hope of anyone believing what was happening in my life. I thought I was unlovable. Everything always came with conditions. I was taught as a child I had to earn love and even then it was conditional.

to be continued

As you can see Julie was treated as a sex slave in the NTCC. Her difficult life involved much abuse as both a special needs person having Cerebral Palsy and as an under-educated girl subject to the whims of every adult pervert in her life. Limited in social contact by only being around other cult members, and without T.V. to educate herself, her whole world revolved around the NTCC and what they taught her. Without tools to protect herself, she was a target of opportunity for many predators, including her parents and church leaders who were in positions of trust and should have been protecting her instead of raping her. There was no way for her to know what was right or normal and what was wrong and abuse. The only thing she had was God's Spirit constantly getting quenched by the false doctrines of men and women of corrupt minds. It's a wonder and testament to God's grace that she survived, became a Christian, and is now championing the cause of others who may be living in the same dire straits as she did as a child in the NTCC.

What's our opinion of this? First of all, we believe Julie. Secondly, our prayer is that no other child will suffer this way. In light of this, we have published this post. Parents, please take heed and protect your children. The NTCC is not a safe environment.

Tour NTCC 4: The "Bonco" and Maria Moreno Videos

Deep in the heart of Graham, nestled against a wooded area, and hidden from the view of many, lies a chunk of real estate owned by the New Testament Christian Churches of America, Incorporated, called the Bonco.  One might ask, what is a Bonco?  We had the same question so we looked it up.  No definition could be found for the word "Bonco" but it's close relatives Bunko Bonko and Bunco all yielded up some interesting definitions that are worthy to be blogged about.

BONCO (also spelled BUNCO, BUNKO, and BONKO) is defined as:

bun·ko  (Source:  Dictionary Reference)

(1)  a swindle in which a person is cheated at gambling, persuaded to buy a nonexistent, unsalable, or worthless object, or otherwise victimized.

(2)  any misrepresentation.

bonko  (Source:  Urban Dictionary)

(1)  Used when showing an extreme amount of disgust; or disliking about something. 

bun·ko  (Source:  Answers dot Com)

(1)  A swindle in which an unsuspecting person is cheated; a confidence game.

(2)  To swindle.

BUNCO  (Source Merriam-Webster)

(1)  a swindling game or scheme

Variants of BUNCO
bun·co or bun·ko

Examples of BUNCO
they were experts at that bunco, having fleeced wide-eyed tourists for years

Origin of BUNCO
perhaps alteration of Spanish banca bench, banking, bank in gambling, from Italian — more at bank
First Known Use: 1872

Related to BUNCO
Synonyms: fraud (or bunko), con, fiddle [chiefly British], flimflam, gyp, hustle, scam, shell game,sting, swindle

The game called BUNCO (Source Wikipedia)
There is a dice game that originated in England in the early 19th Century and was imported to San Francisco in 1855, where it gave it's name to gambling parlors or "Bunco parlors" and more generally to any swindle.  During prohibition in the 1920's Bunco was re-popularized as a gambling game, often associated with a speakeasy.  Law enforcement groups raiding these parlors became known as "Bunco Squads".

How fitting are those definitions?  Seeing that many unsuspecting people were swindled out of their money and cheated out of their future, we have decided to share the truth with our readers.  Hopefully ntcc'ers that are googling will stumble across this post and learn where their money really goes.

To see the mansions on this not-for-profit organization's land, one would have to drive a mile away to the top of a hill and take pictures with a camera that allows you to zoom in.  Well we took such a trip and we have such a camera and we have some photos that we would like to share.  Now our phone camera's didn't really do this justice because we had to go so far away to get a glimpse of these mansions; so the pictures are a little fuzzy.  No doubt the location of the "Bonco" and the strategic placement of the mansions within the Bonco was chosen to keep the filthy rich leaders obscured from the prying eyes of the wondering public.  Remember, this is a so-called "non-profit" organization that bunkoed or deceived or conned its people out of $millions$ saying that it was all going towards lost souls.

The Bonco is a double gated community with fences around it and not just anyone can drive into this cult compound.  There is a secret code that must be entered in at the gate or someone has to be called and let you in.  It has been said by those close to the borg leaders that if a person wanted to live in one of these houses, they would not be allowed to have their "sinner" family members visit them.  I'm sure there are many other controlling rules that are in place also.

Another way to get a glimpse into the secret lifestyles of the infamous Borg leaders would be from the road bordering the rear of their mansions.  Here is one photo of that view:

 Back Side Of Bonco Mansion
 Bordering Horse Pastures 

We mention the horse pastures because davis blasted one lady, Maria Moreno, saying she should love souls as much as she loves horses.  davis was accusing Maria of sinning because she paused and admired some horses while "souls are lost and dying and going to hell".  This accusation by davis brought against Maria in front of hundreds of her peers at the ministers' conference had her in tears.  We believe the borg leaders' constant bullying of the Moreno family and false doctrines contributed to that family's triple murder and suicide.  (To read more click here for Newspaper article or for related blog posts click here.)  We bring this up again because both the kekel and davis Bonco mansions border a property with a horse barn and pastures.  Check out the Google Satellite Image below and the video to see what we are talking about.  Be sure to read the full description of the video for more info.

Here is that satellite image again (below), but including the neighbor's horse barn (the white structure) and some of the neighbor's horse pastures...  This is the very pasture where we shot the  video "In Memoriam - Maria Moreno".  We did so because rodger wilson davis blasted Maria in a conference for stopping and admiring horses in a pasture while, in rwd's words, "Souls are lost and dying and on their way to hell."  Now the day we shot that video the horses were in a pasture south of the barn.  But had they been in the pasture north of the barn, davis would probably have a pretty good view of them from the back windows of his mansion, especially in the winter when the leaves are off the trees....  So is it davis who sits around in his mansion, looking at horses in a pasture while "souls are lost and dying and on their way to hell"?  What a hypocrite davis is for blasting Maria Moreno from the pulpit to humiliate her in front of her peers in the conference!

Cults For Dummies New Testament Christian Churches of America, Inc. A Cult for Dummies

 For NTCC The By-Line
 Would Have To Be: By
 Rodger Wilson Davis &
 His Son-In-Law Michael
 Craig aka "Mike" Kekel
 Mind Controlled Dummies?
 And Such Were Some Of You 

Choosing a cult can be a very difficult task.  First of all there are many choices; and they all have significant consequences that can affect you for the rest of your life.  Your selection will not only shape your future, but it also will have an enormous effect on those that know and love you.  Becoming a Cult Member is not something you want to jump into without forethought or preparation.  This post goes out to all of those folks that are looking for a cult and are considering making the ntcc their cult home.  We want to share some of the things you might want to consider before making the ntcc your cult of choice. Keep in mind that most people that select a cult do not realize the complexities, sacrifices and long term effects involved in becoming a Cult Member.  For those of you that are considering attending the ntcc, or have visited and feel drawn to return, we hope that the information we are providing will serve to help you make the right decision.  For the purpose of this blog post, we are going to focus on one group; and that is the cult called New Testament Christian Churches of America, Inc.

Since joining a cult usually involves a lifetime commitment that most cult members couldn't possibly grasp at the onset of their "spiritual journey", we would like to help simplify the decision making process by saving you years of sorrow and regret.  If we could give you one sliver of advice that would enhance your future, it would be to stay as far away from the ntcc as you possibly can.  Do not attend this cult.  We do not recommend joining any cult; but if you must join a cult, steer clear of the ntcc.   Of course this solution is too simple; and people often need to learn things the hard way.  That's how it was for most of the eX-members of the ntcc.  So let's get started.

Being a Cult Member of the ntcc is like being in an abusive relationship.  At first it all seems too good to be true.  They love you; they feed you; they make you feel special, wanted and important.  Once you become addicted to this kind of attention, the abuse begins.  Under the guise of being a loving shepherd that is concerned for your eternal well being, a hireling is about to manipulate your life.  In short, you are about to be punked.  You are setting yourself up to become a product of an organization that exists to make a very few select individuals filthy rich.  When you fully commit yourself to the ntcc leadership, you are being manipulated into giving complete access to your personal life to an individual whose main purpose is to exploit you for financial gain that makes the top leaders of ntcc filthy rich.  It's that simple.  They want your money.  They don't care about you, your family, your friends or anything else. Most people don't see or understand what they are getting into when they join the ntcc.

Look for Red Flags!!!!!!

The very best way to distinguish a Christian Church from a cult is to compare it to the gospel of Mathew, Mark, Luke and John which are the written accounts of the life of Jesus.

Red Flag #1 - MONEY GRUBBING - Does the cult revolve around money?  Did Jesus ask for or demand money from His disciples every time they gathered?  Did Jesus ever say that if you love me you will pay your tithes to me?  Did Jesus ever tell his followers that they were God robbers if they didn't give Him 10%?  This is a huge red flag!  The ntcc teaches contrary to the teachings of Christ; that if you do not pay tithes and give in offerings hell will be your home.  In the ntcc money is required in every get-together.  Your money is required; and without it, you cannot and will not be a Christian in the ntcc.  They don't want your abilities, your talent, your friendship or your company unless you first give them your money.  One of the very first requirements and the highest priority of your Christian life is to pay tithes and give in offerings in every ntcc public gathering or assembly.  If you refuse to do this, we guarantee you that you will not be "loved" by that bunch.

Red Flag #2 - DRESS CODE - Does the cult tout standards of dress that seem outlandish or outdated and have little or no biblical basis?  Can you find an account of Jesus telling folks that they must dress a certain way if they want to go to heaven?  Jesus warned people to beware of the Scribes and Pharisees who love to wear long robes, and love to be called Rabbi.  In the ntcc they do the exact same thing.  They love to impose their standards of dress on people and to be called Pastor.  If you are a woman and you went to an ntcc conference in pants with makeup or jewelry, would you be welcome?  If you were a man would you be welcome if you showed up to bible school wearing shorts and a t-shirt, sporting a mustache or a beard?  Now ask yourself if the same people would be turned away by Jesus?  It doesn't take a Genius to figure out that something is wrong in the ntcc.


Red Flag #3 - CONTROLLING RULES - Does the cult make up a bunch of abnormal rules that govern your life but have no biblical significance?  Do they tell you that you have to ask permission to ride in a car with someone else?  Did Jesus ever tell anyone that they had to ask Him permission to ride on a donkey with someone else?  Seem a little ridiculous?  We think so.  Do they tell you whom you can talk to?  Do they tell you whom you can have over for dinner?  Do they tell you whom you can let your children have as guests at their birthday parties?  Do they enforce curfews?  Do they tell you that if you miss one of their meetings that you must not love God or want to be around God's people?  These are huge warnings.  The ntcc leaders who make and enforce these rules claim to be Christians; but did Jesus require any of the people that he loved to behave like this?  To be a Christian is to be Christ-like.  Is it Christ-like to rail on a young woman because she has a bow in her hair, or to tell a woman that she is going to hell for working a job?  Is it Christ-like to condemn someone for going to a different church?  Did Jesus ever tell one group of believers that they couldn't hang around other believers?  Is it Christ-like to tell people whom they can date or whom they can marry?  Is it Christ-like to tell a person that they can't eat french fries with their fingers?  This is a no-brainer folks.  All you need is a little bit of common sense; and you can avoid a whole bunch of heartache.

Red Flag #4 - HYPOCRISY / DOUBLE STANDARDS - Do the cult leaders have a problem with following their own rules?  To make this even more simple let's just ask the question, "Is your cult leader a hypocrite?"  Do they break their own rules?  Do they bind heavy burdens upon folks which they themselves are not willing to move with their fingers?  Do they tell you that you must get permission to talk to a woman but they seem a little over friendly with the female members in their own congregations?  We're saying this because adultery is a huge problem in the ntcc.  Divorce on demand is a huge problem in the ntcc.  They make these rules; because they are the ones that have problems in these areas.  Just look at their history. Did Jesus stop Mary from pouring ointment on his feet and washing them with her tears and drying them with her hair because He was afraid that it would lead to lust and fornication?  If you are righteous you don't live in fear when someone else has a problem.  Does your cult leader spend your tithe money to send his child to a private school and allow him to play football and dress in lascivious football pants when you were required to get a letter from your pastor exempting your child from gym class because the required standard of dress for physical education was considered to be inappropriate apparel for Christians in your cult?  Did Jesus enforce any of this stupid nonsense upon His followers?

Red Flag #5 - CULT COMPOUND - Does your cult have a compound that it operates from?  Is there a locked gate that controls who can and cannot visit the houses inside of the compound?  Is there a Bonco in your cult of choice?  For those that are unfamiliar with the Bonco in the ntcc, it is a gated community that surrounds the mansions of Rodger Wilson Davis  and his son-in-law Michael Craig Kekel.  There are approximately 24 houses in this community; and if you wish to live in one of these houses you will be told who can visit you and who can't.  You will be told which relatives are allowed to visit you and which relatives are not allowed to visit you.  There is a similar community of Butt kissing cult members that surrounds the Bible School cult compound which is right down the street from the Bonco cult compound.  This consists of a bunch of houses and dorms that mostly belong to the organization.  To live in one of those houses or the BS dorms you must follow a bunch of Rules For Fools.  Just sign here.  Don't read the rules.  Don't ask questions.  Just obey us.  Ahem.  Jesus didn't have a place to lay His head.  We don't recall Him having a cult compound with a bunch of rules.

The Servicemen's homes are also mini cult compounds that have very strict rules.  Ask yourself before signing up:

• What am I getting myself into?
• Will the Servicemen's home interfere with my military career?  Will I be pressured to terminate my military service to become a lifelong member of this cult?
• How many of the cult members that were reached in these homes stayed in the military long enough to retire?

There are many red flags that are raised by the ntcc leadership that defy common sense.  We hope that we can get you to think things over a bit before choosing the ntcc as your cult.  We wish that we could have had someone to point out the warning signs to us before we sacrificed our futures to this organization and its abusive leaders.  Having given a large portion of our lives to the ntcc with nothing of any Christian value to show for it, we think that we can simplify the process for anyone who is considering the ntcc as a life decision.  Don't do it.  Don't be a dummy.  Don't be someone else's fool.  Don't be manipulated.  Don't give your hard earned money to a preacher so he can give it to another preacher that lives in a million dollar mansion.  Your pastor has been trained to get your money and give it to his pastor.  That's right.  You are paying to be abused.  You are paying that preacher every Sunday morning and Sunday night, every Tuesday bible study, every Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday Church/Cult service to impose a bunch of stupid rules on your life so that someone you might see twice a year [or less, if you are lucky] can live in luxury that you will never be able to afford for yourself or your family.

A normal person will read this and say, "You would have to be a real dummy and a complete moron to join a cult like this".  And that person would be right; and yet hundreds if not thousands of people sign up to be members of the ntcc every year.  Please look at the big picture and steer clear of this cult for your own good.  Don't take our word for it if you don't want to; but read the thousands of online testimonies that have been shared by people that learned the hard way.  It's really not a hard decision.  Keep a sharp lookout for the red flags so that you don't fall into the trap that others have.  Now you have all the information that you need and are no longer a dummy unless you choose to be one.  If you choose to join the ntcc after everything you have read here, then we're afraid you are beyond our help; and you will have to learn the ntcc lesson the hard way as we did, and as did all of the other ntcc dummies that came before you.
