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

We recently saw this public profile of a former ntcc child who calls herself "Ex member".  This story is so heartbreaking to read.  NTCC  really is an unhealthy environment that hurts you, your marriage, and your children.  Thank God she has survived this and, we pray, will continue to grow in grace and in the knowledge of the truth!  Here is her testimony in her own words:

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

Once again, we thank God for sparing this young woman's life and pray that she can fully understand the love of God in a real way in her own heart and learn that she is very valuable and important!

Driving Wedges Part 2: The NTCC: Driving Wedges and Destroying Families for Over Four Decades

This article describes how ntcc breaks up families.  It was prompted by the following comment that was left on our X-er blog thread:

Crossing the Line - The ntcc divorce policy or "Adultery on Demand"

Anonymous said...
I came into the original borg, NTCG, INC. with the formal consent of the borg COB, I received the appropriate permission to date the girl who would latter become my wife. We dated for approximately 2 years, probably a total of 8 dates, all in the company of another couple, we did GET to talk maybe once a month, mostly very shallow conversation. I never violated God's word in relation to our dating. I held her hand, but I never even kissed her, until after our wedding ceremony. I would never even considered any sexual contact with her, prior to our wedding night, I wanted our relationship pure before God! To this hour, I have honored our vows, and honor my wife. A few years before our eyes were fully opened, while we were in the beginning stages of the process of un-plugging from the matrix, I stopped attending the evening services at the borg headquarters.
My dear wife faithfully continued to attend, the church. Thankfully, a pioneer pastor was opening a small borg across town, AND AFTER DISCUSSING IT WITH MY DEAR WIFE, AND DETERMINING THAT IT MIGHT BE A BETTER OPTION FOR BOTH OF US, WE PRAYED, AND DECIDED TO ATTEND THE SMALL BORG, AND HELP THE PIONEER PASTOR BY PAYING OUR TITHE TO HIS work, instead of the
Big Borg. Some time after this, my dear wife attended one service on a certain day, and VD rolled out the red carpet for her, and told her, that she should attend the Big Borg, and let me, attend the little borg!
During this same time frame, a woman who would be considered a PILLAR in the BORG, AND HAD A BIG INFULENCE IN MY WIFES LIFE, was told by VD to Tell my wife, that she needed to attend the BIG BORG, and leave me at the little borg! Because, I was crossed up with God, and my wife would be able to show me that I needed to return to the Big Borg, to be right with God. Thankfully, that woman did have enough Holy Ghost, to tell VD that she couldn't do that. Finally after we had hear, and seen enough, we left the Big Borg, and the little borg, and WE ARE STILL LIVING FOR GOD, AND STILL, BY THE GRACE OF GOD, HAPPILY MARRIED TO EACH OTHER, AND GOING TO HEAVEN.

We are very glad that you both left the ntcc and managed to keep your relationship in tact!  Many do not survive these kind of attacks.  We decided to make this a new topic because we have heard of this happening before, and we want Ntcc'ers that are brave enough to read the blogs to be able to recognize this when it happens to them.  It's easy to shout "Amen!" when it's someone else's marriage that is being tampered with; but when it happens to you, it's no fun at all!

To this Anonymous Poster, we have great admiration for you because you made it through this ordeal; and you made the right decisions and kept God first.  Unfortunately we know for a fact that the ntcc operates like this on a regular basis.  They have destroyed many relationships because one person thinks that obeying davis is the same as obeying God, even though the gospels are very plain about divorce. So ntcc causes that person to believe that their husband or wife is crossed up with God for one reason or another; and they need to leave them.  But many times the spouse is not crossed up with God.  Instead, in many cases, the spouse has first hand knowledge of ntcc corruption, or realizes that they are in a cult, and there is no sin involved.  The only sin would be continuing to subject yourself and your family to an abusive environment like the ntcc!

We know of a different couple that were involved in the ntcc in many capacities.  They worked overseas and in Servicemen's works.  They're greatly loved by many; and they have a pure relationship.  Their great so-called 'sin' was that they had a child; and they wanted to raise that child right.  One parent in this couple wanted to ensure that their child was an individual and the child's physical needs for proper care were being met.  That is sound Christian parenting!  But davis tried to break up this couple and separate what God had joined together!  They were rebuked but refused to allow the ntcc leadership to split them up.  They realized the ntcc environment was not healthy for families and felt led by God to leave the organization.  They never missed ntcc.  They were blessed and prospered and continue serving God today.

When the borg leaders saw that this family could no longer be manipulated and used, they circulated that old rumor that the man had been viewing porn on the internet.  But the that was a lie.  The family did not even have a modem on the computer they owned!

This is how the Borg operates.  They get as many people as they can to forsake everything near and dear to them.  The borg only sees you for what you bring into the collective:  You are being used for your money and to get more people into their organization.  That's it.  None of the leadership cares about your soul!  If you leave they will not shed one tear.  You can be replaced.  If they can, they will drive a wedge between you and your spouse.  If they can keep one of you and destroy the rest of your family, they will do so without any remorse!

It's no wonder the divorce rate in the ntcc continues to sky-rocket and so much sin takes place in the ntcc!  The ntcc is not a wholesome place to attend church!  It is full of many perversions at the very highest levels.

Abuse is a way of life in the ntcc. To stay in this organization you have to turn a blind eye to everything that is going on around you.  The only way to survive in the ntcc is to become like them and in doing so, you have to compromise your own relationship with God.  When you stay in for many years, you end up becoming corrupt just like they are; and you don't even know it.  You become desensitized to everything that happens to all the people you hold dear.  If someone gets jacked up publicly you shout "Amen!" and thank God it's not you.  When people leave, you say a prayer and thank God it's not you.

"Leave that person alone."  say the borg leaders:

"They just want sin."

What a generic lie that the ntcc uses to slander anyone who leaves their corrupt organization!

Here is another lie the ntcc uses to describe fellow Chritsians who leave the ntcc:

"They are rebellious and crossed up with God."

Really?  Listen folks:

Leaving the ntcc is not the same as leaving God.  In fact leaving the ntcc is necessary if you want to get back to God!

The following link is to a video from the X-Men movie.  It depicts a Jewish family being torn apart by the Nazis who force the parents into the Auschwitz Extermination Camp while their son is left outside the gate.  It reminded us of the anguish inflicted on countless ntcc families that are wrecked by the borganization's cruel leaders.  The boy in the video is a mutant who has the power to move metal.  At this young age, he is unaware of his ability; that surfaces as a result of his desperate emotional response to be with his parents.  It reminds us how urgently we must fight for those we love to remain together as a family the way God intended:

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.

Driving Wedges Part 1: NTCC 'Leaders' Sow Discord and Drive Wedges, Breaking Up Marriages, and Families, and Friendships

In a recently deleted article that m c kekel was ashamed to have on his supposed church-blog, m c kekel said:


"creeping among you, ostensibly as your friends, while sowing discord and driving wedges." -- m c kekel, ntcc ceo


kekel made this false accusation against people who have left the ntcc.  It is a typically cultish,baseless, and broad-brush accusation with nothing to back it.  But kekel makes this accusation hoping to instill fear in his followers (and they are more aptly described as followers of mikey, than followers of Jesus)...  Yes, kekel makes these statements to drive wedges into the hearts of his followers to persuade them to forsake any friend or family member who no longer attends the ntcc.  And then kekel tries to deny that the ntcc is a cult?  Please, people, let's put on our thinking caps and consider this:


If your cult leader demands loyalty to him and his cult above all other things, you are in a cult that has become your idol and taken Jesus off the throne of your heart where Jesus should be.  If you say you are a Christian, your first loyalty should be to Christ.  You should keep His commandment to love one another.   Jesus did not say love those who attend only the ntcc cult!  


kekel is driving wedges and separating members of the body of Christ from one another; because he does not want you to follow your friend out the door to freedom in Christ, freedom from man-made rules, freedom from lying hypocrites who want full control over you and your friends and family.  No, kekel can not afford to lose you just yet.  Someone has to pay his bills for him.  (And clean his wife's house for her; and do his wife's grocery shopping for her; she is soooo busy shopping at Nordstroms and Macys!)  These are facts, friends.



Friends do not take advantage of you.  Friends do not play you by emotionally abusing you and accusing you of not loving God if you don't come and worship them by doing things for them that they can and should do for themselves!  Manipulators do that.  Despisers do that.  Let's get the facts straight!


kekel and davis are manipulators and despisers!  They only pretend to be your friend long enough to get what they want from you.  Then they despise you (literally set you at nought) and throw you away like a used diaper wipe.  Fact.

If the cash stops flowing, they will send an "Overseer" to find out why and get the cash rolling again, even if that means replacing you. 

When was the last time kekel or davis called you just to chat as friends?  When was the last time they helped you change the oil in your car?  Have they called and wished you a Happy Birthday or Happy Anniversary?  Do they even know what city you live in or where you have been working for them?  All they know is if the cash stops flowing, they will send an "Overseer" to find out why and get the cash rolling again, even if that means replacing you.  Facts.


Who is sowing discord?  kekel and davis sow discord between husbands and wives as they separate married couples by driving the wedge of cult-imposed sterility through their vasectomy 'policy' [rule] and devil-inspired man-made lie that they teach, claiming that "children hinder the work of GAWD."

kekel and davis sow discord and separate married couples by driving the wedge of cult-imposed sterility through ntcc's vasectomy rule... claiming "children hinder the work of GAWD" even though the man who taught that adopted a daughter...

creeping amoung you, ostensibly as your friends tanya kekel and verna davis will call your wife while you are out earning the money that pays them to make that call.  As you sweat and labor, they are whispering in your wife's ear that she should leave you to marry a "real man of God"....  


davis and kekel are promoting cult-endorsed adultery, encouraging your spouse to leave you and get a divorce for non-biblical reasons!  They want to make your spouse and the next person who marries your spouse adulterers; as the Bible clearly teaches that people who obtain divorce for reasons other than fornication and remarry are adulterers.  I did not write the  Bible.  You know that is what it says.

Leaving ntcc does not automatically make one an unbeliever!

Well what about the verse about "if the unbelieving depart the brother or sister is not under bondage"... True.  But leaving ntcc does not automatically make one an unbeliever.  Nor does it give the remaining ntcc spouse a green-light to remarry within the ntcc.  Face it folks, ntcc is not God.  Leaving ntcc does not equal leaving God.  Or it should not.  In fact, many find a much sweeter and closer walk with the Lord after getting rid of the ntcc false doctrines of devils.  

ntcc is not God.  Leaving ntcc does not equal leaving God!  Or it should not...

Furthermore verna davis and tanya kekel should never counsel you on who to marry or divorce.  There is no scriptural basis for that. I've never read in the bible of one person asking Paul the Apostle who they could talk to, date, or marry.  The bible never records one instance where Peter the Apostle told a single man he could not talk to a single woman; because she was going to bible school; and he was still in the Army.  


The fact that davis and kekel even get involved in these matters makes me think they are busy-bodies!  They have too much time on their hands; because you and your wife do all their work for them.   They limit whom you can and can't date by making rules about who talks to whom. They are match-making.  And when one spouse realizes what a farce the ntcc is, ntcc then starts to drive in those vasectomy and divorce wedges???!!!

They limit whom you can and can't date by making rules about who talks to whom. They are match-making!

And davis sows discord amoungst fellow building crew members to see who he can use the most, making fun of Russ Mears, saying, "That man has all the fire of a fire-fly."  Using this cheap-shot behind Russ's back to see who [Dustin Smart] is the most ambitious and willing to throw a friend under the bus by laughing at this comment in order to suck-up to davis.  Facts.  
  
Face it people, you are being played as fools every day you stay and pay your tribute to davis and kekel.  Friends don't talk bad about you.  Friends spend time with you.  Friends reciprocate.  And friends will tell you the hard cold facts and let you think about it.

• Friends don't talk bad about you.
• Friends spend time with you.
• Friends reciprocate.  
• And friends will tell you the hard cold facts and let you think about it.
