Wisdom from the Past and Present

While reading some of the topics on old Factnet, I found many topics that are very telling of cult behavior in the ntcc.  Some of this stuff has been rehashed on the blogs fairly recently; and other things have been forgotten.   I figure now is as good a time as any to bring up some of this stuff.  Our hope and desire is that people that attend the ntcc or are thinking about attending will see the warning signs and red flags that are waving in their faces and get while the getting is good.  Here are some of the topics that are worthy of repetition:

 Purdy Pweez Pastor
 Massah May I ... ??? 

1.  Asking permission.  Pastor is it alright if I go over to another brother's house to fellowship with him?  Pastor is it alright if I get a ride to church from another brother?  Pastor is it alright if I call a former pastor or member of the ntcc church that I used to attend?  Pastor, is it alright if I go visit my parents?  Pastor is it alright if I go to my father's funeral?  Pastor is it alright if I take a week off and visit relatives on the way to conference?  Pastor is it alright if I use money out of the general fund to fix the leaking roof because you won't allow me to use any of the hundreds of thousands of dollars sitting around in an escrow?  Pastor is it alright if a brother answers the church phone when I'm using the bathroom and my wife is slaving over the hot stove and doesn't want to burn dinner? Pastor is it alright if I get a job that requires me to work a few hours on Saturday if it doesn't interfere with the church schedule? Pastor do I have to pay tithe on my income tax returns?  Pastor is it okay if my wife goes to the hospital to visit a sister by herself?  Pastor can I ask that almost divorced sister if she will talk to me 'on the wall' tonight? ~"Sure, brother, go ahead."  Pastor can I ask that single sister if she wants to talk to me 'on the wall' tonight?  "No."  Pastor, Pastor, Pastor?

The sad thing is that most of the answers to these questions are "No!" or "You are going to do whatever you want to anyway!" --  using fear to make you decide against doing what you think is right.

2.  Quotations:

 a n*gg*r to show
 him up, right? 

     a)  "You might as well get saved because if you live in this house  you are going to live by my rules."  ~The 'great apostle' [yeah, right, whatever] speaking to his adopted half-Filipina daughter in all his wisdom~

     b)  "No one on earth cares about souls more than I do."  ~another quote from R W Davis that could be true only if you look at people as money like rdub does ~ [ahem]

     c)  "Don't expect me to get all excited when you tell me your wife is pregnant."  ~R.W. Davis, with the exception of the birth of his grandson Grant Kekel.  ~

      d)  "...N*gg*rs..." ~ rodger wilson davis proudly proclaims from the pulpit his twisted view of all African Americans, including those he exploits as Uncle Tom token blacks. ~

     e)  davis taught he saw a preacher loading his wife in a fur coat into a Cadillac.  davis declared he wanted to "know what that man knew".  But davis was really saying he wanted what that man had (coveteousness / lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and the pride of life.)  And now he has it; thanks to his system of con-games. ~

     f)  "Everything I have now, God gave it to me."  ~RWD's quote can be translated:  Everything I own now was purchased with your tithe dollars .  He's not satisfied with the Jubilee model Rolex you already purchased for him.  Now he wants the Presidential to show off your sacrifice = stupidity.  ~

     g) "You must have taken a whole bottle of stupid pills." ~ rw davis rails on the ministers in another semi-annually required conference that forces men to lose their jobs and struggle on in poverty while giving all they have for another r w davis mansion to be built.  ~

     h)  "What is told to me in confidence will go with me to the grave."  ~RWD and others have betrayed Pastoral confidence of their church members and used the pulpit to publicly blast people on the very confessions they made in confidence. ~

      i)  "There is only one teacher in this organization, everyone else is just an extension of my ministry."  ~Rodger Davis ~ [how humble]

      j)  "Brethren, this organization IS Pastor Davis."  ~Joe Olson~ [Need we say more?]

Many of the above quotes were mentioned on Factnet by various people; but I and many others have heard them also.  We could write a book about all the material covered on Factnet; but we are going to keep this short and sweet.  If anyone would like to contribute feel free.

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

 A dragon Masquerades
 as a non-profit ntcc leader 

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

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

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

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

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


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

NTCC = National Treasury of Church Cash:

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

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

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

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

Mystical Manipulation and Mind Control:

 Mind Control 

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

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

Flipping Real Estate and Disappearing Escrow Accounts:

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

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

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

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

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

 Leviathan
 on Guard 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Part 2: NTCC Missionaries Suffer Poverty While NTCC Board Members Live In Luxury

kekels drive luxury cars
while ntcc missionaries
struggle for basics

This BMW looks like the one Casey Hayes described seeing the kekel's driving around in when Casey came back from being a starving ntcc missionary to Puerto Rico...  Good to know the ntcc can afford to buy expensive luxury cars and motor homes for its Executive Board Members for their private benefit; but ntcc can not afford to take care of its missionaries' basic needs like food, shelter, furniture???  Who is scamming whom here folks?  Keep paying those mission fund pledges.  The "World Missions Director" needs another $325,000 Recreational Vehicle to drive around in while raising more money for ntcc, a ?non-profit? while missionaries report hardships like no food or furniture....

Missionaries' Testimonies:

1)  Veronica Medina Reports Hardship While Missionary to Puerto Rico for ntcc:

Following is a comment made by Veronica Medina, Former NTCC Missionary to Puerto Rico, NTCC Bible School or Seminary Instructor, and Minister. Her comment appeared on The Dispatch, a Washington state online newspaper that ran a series of five articles about the NTCC by reporter Bruce Smith. The articles no longer appear in the Dispatch Archives.

Here is Veronica's comment:

Posted: Thursday, April 08, 2010
Article comment by: Veronica Medina

Hi Bruce,
My name is Veronica Medina. I attended NTCC from 1971 to 1985. My husband and I always used our own money to move where ever RW Davis thought we should minister. Our last move was to Puerto Rico. We were led to believe that the organization would support us as missionaries there. We sold everything we had, packed up our 2 very young children and went there with great hope. After we paid our own airplane fare there and spent all the money we had to get established, we asked and did get money from NTCC to take care of some deposits needed. It was around $700. Little did I know that there would be no more money. It came to the point where "we had no money", not even enough to feed our children. I will never forget my sorrow when we attended a church down the street and my son who was 5 years old, was brought to me from Children's Church because he had the "dry heaves". You see, he had no food in his stomach to vomit. To make a long story short, my husband got a job working for $25 a day. We ended up getting (and I am ashamed to say it) on welfare. I admit I didn't tell NTCC that part because I
knew we would have to pay "tithes" on that money, but we needed it desperately. My husband and I both got very ill while in Puerto Rico and as a result did not have money for rent. I wrote to the leadership in NTCC explaining our plight. Did they respond? Oh yes, with a $100 LOAN. That was the last straw. We resigned and wanted nothing more to do with them. By the way, the explanation given to everyone was "the Medina's left for filthy lucre". I need to tell you, at the time I
thought we were a single incident of their cruelty. But I have since learned that this is a pattern for them. They have no conscious when it comes to their ministers and missionaries. My story is just one
story out of many.
By the way - life only got better after we left.

Old Comment by Vic Johanson concerning ntcc receiving Missions Pledge monies for a mission that was CLOSED!

Vic Johanson said...

Well, I know that I paid for months on a pledge for Panama, only to find out that the work had been closed and NTCC had no one over there. When I busted them out, they acted all offended and came up with an interesting yarn about "escrowing" the money.

Seems like these "escrow" accounts are quite lucrative for them.

Oh dear, the comments on the thread that started it all have a correction:

grant kekel's 1st
car was reportedly a

SLK 55 AMG ROADSTER

Casey Hayes said...

OK, it was a Mercedes SLK 55 AMG. This is a top of the line model. Officially it is a "roadster" and not a "convertible"-- but the hardtop comes off. I'm sure Kekel was just confused about the definition of convertible. It retails for $65,000, has a 5.5L V-8 with 355 hp. I'm sure he needs all that horsepower to pick up all the people he's bringing out to church...

The Twenty Fourth Elder or Snake Oil Salesman?

R. W. Davis, Ph.D., President
Ph.D = Piled Higher n Deeper

I remember when RWD and Verna flew in for a visit to the Church in Newport News, VA.  At the time they expressed their discomfort in riding in the Dorsie's "Egg Beater" car; so they asked me if I could haul them back and forth to the hotel.  At the time, I thought it was an honor and volunteered for the privilege of taking them back and forth to the hotel and the airport in Norfolk.

• On one trip to a church service RWD asked me, "How much money do you got saved up?"!
• That was an uncomfortable question for me; because here I was, an E-6 in the Army, making about 30k per year plus benefits; and I didn't have anything saved up!
• I told R-dub, "Not much" which was an exaggeration for "Nothing, Sir".
• Verna replied, "You ought to be a Millionaire by now".
• What a joke!

I bet rwd gleaned a few thousand in pocket change alone off of me.  And let's not forget all the tithe, double-tithe, Sunday Night Budget Offerings, Building Pledges, Missions Pledges, Servicemens' Home Rent, S.H. Food Fees, Offerings, Revival Pledges, Gas Fees, and other "Blessing the Man of God" donations over all the (13) years I was in ntcc!!!!  Because, after all, "All Christians pay tithes and give in offerings."  ntcc made sure to announce that at all five services per week and every time they assembled, browbeating everyone into giving; or else in ntcc you would not be considered a Christian unless you "Give 'til it hurts."

• But at the time I was being shaken down by r w (rdub) and verna (victoria)  davis, all I can remember thinking was
• What a poor steward I had been over what God had given me!
• BALONEY!!!
• Now, looking back on the money we all gave for all the different offerings that were taken up and 
• how the borg treats everyone who is not related to a board member:
• G.I.s -- as money bags
• members -- as "strong backs, but weak minds"
• pastors -- as "knotheads who took a whole bottle of stupid pills"
• missionaries -- as non-existent tourists that support ntcc (very backwards!)
• servicemen's home directors -- as puppies at the pound
• ** neuter them before you give them a home
• women -- "who should be like a flower -- look pretty and smell nice"
• ** but remain barefoot and barren in the barrio, and last, but not least;
• children -- as "filthy and evil as they throw hissy fits in the cookie aisle of the grocery store"
• ... It's no wonder people are leaving the ntcc !!!!  Also known as the
• No Tax Cash Cow == ntcc

One prominent couple who left was Matt and Debbie R.  They served in many ministerial roles within the ntcc as missionaries and servicemen's home directors for about 50 combined years of sacrifice and service.  Here's what Matt R. said, in part, of ntcc's financial misdealings:


 "So when I made my next escrow deposit, I calmly asked the teller, would you please write down the balance of this account so I can check it against my books? My books said zero. She started writing and just kept right on writing! The figure that she wrote down about knocked me on my "donkey"! A little redneck lingo there for ya! She wrote down the sum of $279,000.00." 


I should not have been surprised; but this figure was unbelievable to me.  When I read this it made me furious because of all the pressure over the years to give.  Matt and Debbie's church building was falling apart when they took over the work in Killeen, TX; and they asked RWD for some money to buy the supplies; while they would do the work for free.  "That's not your money, [Matt R.]" R-dub spewed out.  He was probably sitting in his 1.1 million dollar mansion when he rebuked Matt.  Matt R. was put in a position to bring people to a church that was falling apart or to extract the money out of his congregation.

r w davis told this minister, Matt R., to "take up an offering".

Meanwhile, the escrow, which is money held in an account requiring multiple signatures before it can be touched; this escrow account raised from money given by the local congreation, had $279,000 dollars in it; and yet r w daivs wanted Matt R. to "take up an offering"!  

The escrow, in the ntcc's own words, is established for the purpose of  "building maintenance, expansion"; yet davis wanted Matt R. to pump the Killeen congregation for even more money?!!

r-dub and his band of crooks are worse than common thieves. They are Extortionists and should be hauled off to jail.


The ntcc has had escrow accounts on most of the Servicemen's homes and many other works; and this has been discussed at length many times over.  We embedded a copy of the escrow explanation letter.  This letter explains that 40% of what is left of the church member's tithe after bills and tithe are paid (double-dipping) is to go into an escrow.  In 13 years of living in servicemen's homes this concept was never explained to me or others who contributed thousands into these escrows.  If we knew that the money we were giving was going to sit around in a slush fund for years and eventually get zeroed out (Matt R. said his books showed zero balance when he took over the work;) and (name two board member's that wouldn't say, "Yes Sir" if asked for their signatures by rw davis to remove or misappropriate that money.).  Are we wrong for looking at this as theft by deceit or false pretenses?  Should we have been told where our money was going?


This whole disappearing escrow funds topic has been a bitter pill for me to swallow for many reasons.  We gave our unwavering loyalty to these people in addition to our money.  We sacrificed the quality of our lives so the "work of God" could prosper.  I can't count the number of offerings that were taken up for purposes that were supposed to be covered by the escrow account, according to the said purpose in the explanation letter.  I gave up everything precious and meaningful in my life so that they could take the money that we all gave and put it in an escrow account without using the money for its intended purpose.  The ntcc never gave financial statements detailing where all that money went.   We were taken for a ride.  We were sold a product that should have been free.


Here is an embedded copy of the ntcc's escrow explanation letter:

Ntcc Escrow Explanation

View more documents from Ds Gs

 I've heard it shared that rwd is a great profit or a super apostle and even considered to be the "twenty fourth elder by some".  I had nothing but deep respect for rwd while I was a member of ntcc, but not any more!  We have to look at the roots of r.w. davis to discover his true nature.  rdub was a salesman and he brought all of his pyramid scheme sales techniques into the ministry  and applied them to the gospel.  A pyramid scheme is just that.  The top block in a pyramid is where all the money is.  It's where the richest of the rich dwell.  In ntcc, that is Graham, Wa.  The bottom blocks support the weight of the entire pyramid; but the folks on the bottom, though they make up the largest percent of blocks in any row, are the poorest and have the least.  As you move up in the hierarchy you get more responsibility and a little more cash but still very little in comparison to those above you. The most 'successful' pyramids make only those at the top rich.  Those underneath them make very little or they are in the negative.

 Snake Oil -- Good For Whatever Ails You! 

The archaic term snake oil salesman conjures up images of a tent revival minister preying on the poor and unsuspecting.  The Minister sells his false healings and prophesies like a snake oil salesman working in a carnival.


While taking their money and leaving them with nothing, they move on to the next town and con many more people into believing a doctrine that enslaves them for years.  Salesmen are taught to use their product and believe in what they are selling.  Many times they not only have to use it and believe in it but they have to convince others that what they are selling is more important then anything else they might want to spend their money on.  What separates the best salesman from all the rest is the ability of that salesman to overcome objections and convince the buyer that they need the item that is for sale.  


The problem with rwd is that Jesus is not a product nor His gospel something to make merchandise off of!   If you look at the entire Corporation called new testament christian churches of America, incorporated, you will see a money making empire where those at the top are rich and getting richer; while those at the bottom are doing sweat shop labor and being used for everything they possibly can be used for.  This is a shrewd but diabolical business plan that was concocted by a man that does not care for the people that got him where he is today.  


This model would not work in today's industries; because people would just quit and look for another job.  Folks in the ntcc are made to believe that if they leave they will suffer eternal damnation.  We all know this as fact.  The reason that many people do not leave ntcc is fear, plain and simple.  ntcc  say's "We don't believe we are the only church going to heaven." and that "Nobody is forcing anyone to stay."  But if you buy into their product you will soon find out that what they are selling is not God or salvation or anything; but a life that is controlled by fear.  Your reward is that you think you are going to heaven. Maybe you will; and maybe you won't.  If you adopt enough of their teachings into your life,  you also will begin to use people just like they do; and you will find out that without even knowing it you are more lost than the people you are trying to reach. 


This is not a model that you find anywhere in the bible.  In God's word you find money being spent on those that are poor and widows and the fatherless.  Sure God's ministers can live of the gospel, and be supported by the church; but what these snake oil salesmen are doing for their own profit is sickening.  I really whole heartedly believe that if Jesus were walking the earth right now He would not be welcome in Graham.  He overthrew the moneychangers' tables in the temple; and He'd probably do the same in Graham, WA.  I'm really surprised that someone has not knocked r-dub off his feet.  Maybe they have; and we just don't know about it. 


While the doors of ntcc are still open and people are still buying lives of fear, we will continue to warn folks that they are walking into a trap.  When people do a google search of the ntcc they will find this and many other writings on the blogs;  and perhaps they will be spared from the snake oil salesman and the false doctrines that they pedal.  


We would encourage you to prayerfully consider a different church.  Look them up and find out what kind of doctrine they teach and if there is a price label on their gospel: 

• Are they selling anything?  Or do they offer God's most precious Son as a free gift? 
• Are they full of negativity and hatred like the ntcc?
• Do they spew out warnings of judgement and hell?
• What is the emphasis - a man's doctrine or Christ?  

If the emphasis is the love of God then make sure it stays that way! 


 People that use salvation to get you hooked and then start pumping you for money are not in it for God!   


Like the salesman, they want your money.  Their sole purpose is to convince you that the product they are pedaling is worth as many dollars as you can possibly give. If they try to get into your wallet, ask yourself:

• Does God really need your money?  
• Did r. w. davis need your money?
• Or could r wd get by with the millions he's collected?

Before you give any more money to over-stuffed ntcc coffers, find out what really happens to the money that disappears into ntcc's black hole of hidden financial dealings!

The Fixer-Uppers: Flippin' Churches Part 2

 Our First Church!  God is Blessing! 

We just had our first church service; and God is moving and blessing.  There were eight people including my wife and seven children.  We had a great time, even though getting here took some real sacrifice.  We had to sell our last home, pack up everything we had in our tiny vehicle and drive cross country to a town where we don't know anyone and I don't even have a job; but we are trusting God to provide.  He will have to, since we know headquarters doesn't spend any money on us pioneers or "wasteful congregants" either. We aren't complaining though.  We know what happened to the children of Israel who murmured in the wilderness -{shuddering in fear}- my pastor just preached about it last Sunday.  We know how to be thankful, or else!

We have a fire pit out back  it has a great "ambience" and we are able to cook our ramen dinners over an open flame!  We are sooo thankful that God provides for us.  The 'Leaders' of our group came by and visited us; but chose to stay in their RECREATIONAL VEHICLE, oops, motor home.  They were a little disappointed in us for not "putting things together"; but we all scraped up enough gas money to get them to the next town.  My least-'un (youngest child) gave all her savings -- two dusty mites.

If we remain faithful and get enough members to contribute we are hoping that God will move us into a servicemen's work; so headquarters can reap the benefits of the tithe and offerings from those G.I.s when we send even more money to HQ;  they will, in turn, tell us they love and appreaciate  us while denying any request for financial assistance or using the general fund for anything .  We are hoping that one day we can be mentioned with the great ones that have gone before us.  We know that we will have to work very hard for many decades; but some day, we believe, we will be rewarded by sitting in one of those red (Board Member) chairs.

But for now, we will continue to be content in the poor state we find ourselves in.  We are praying for used mattresses to sleep on and more kook store apparel to clothe our young-uns. We sometimes think we have it bad; but we have to look back on our bible school days; and it helps us put things into perspective.  We sometimes battle demons; because people say some pretty bad things about us and our leaders.  We will not accept any accusations against them; because we see how God has blessed them; and one day we will be blessed just like them.  So stop being bitter and negative and share only those good reports, like what we're puttin' together here, y'all!  Praise God.

We may not be rich here in this world; but we are laying up our treasures in heaven.  We are doing a great work; and we don't have time to listen to the devil.  We just had a neighbor come by and build us some church pews out of cinder blocks and old closet doors without taking any money out of the general fund.  It was a real victory!  Our escrow is growing every week (somewhar); and we are paying our church tithe and pastor's tithe, even tho we don't know whar it all goes.

My last boss-man told me that I could no longer get off early on Wednesday evenings for soul winning; so I told him to take his job and shove it.  God will provide a better job.

For Halloween we posted a sign on our porch that said, "SCRAM HEATHEN" and listed a few scriptures that condemned those filthy evil children for dressin' up like demons, witches, and ghouls and observin' a pagan hooliday.  But just the same, tomorrow I'm going to send my wife to the store; so's she can buy the heathen's candy for pennies on the dollar!   It really pays to serve God, pay tithe, give in offerings, and be a good steward by saving money on luxuries like chocolate candy bars.

 NO COMPROMISE!  
 WE ARE WINNING! 

We are very excited about conference.  This year the theme is "We are Winning" (again)!  We were pretty sure that it wouldn't be "No Compromise" this time; and we were right.  We have yet to raise the funds to get us there; but I know Gawd will provide a way.  It will have to be a miracle for us to load up our 1968 "reefer bus" with "may-pop" tires and drive across country to attend "skits and workshops".

 Our Reefer Bus Broke Down; but Gawd Provided A Way, Again.
 We're So Poor We Always Need A Miracle To Get To Conference! 

We are very excited about the PA system segment.  Even though I can holler pretty loud, I would like to amplify my voice; so that those sinners sitting in the very back of the 16' by 14' room we're livin' outta and havin' church in will be able to hear me.  We have been to every conference since 1983; and we don't intend on missing the next one.  After all, it's a privilege.  We have talked seven brethren into piling into the 5 passenger mini-bus to help out with the gas cost.  Of course, in the past only 2 gave us a few bucks; and we had to park in a rest area with a sign on our car that said "Conference Bound, Anything Help$".  One of those fishy-Chirstians my pastor is always making fun of, some fella with a Christian fish on his T-shirt, gave us 20 bucks; so we were able to get there AND share a two liter bottle of Dr. Pepper. We don't drink Pepsi or coffee, since pastor is always talkin' 'bout them folks what have a coffee or Pepsi wid da devul.  (shudder)

 Cuppa Coffee wid d' devil 

 Havin' a Pepsi wid d' devil+vision 

We are very excited for our 13 year old daughter; because last conference a board member's wife asked her, "Which 20-something-year-old bible school student would you like to marry when you turn 15"?   We are hoping to get her married off real soon; before she discovers the pleasures of the world, or any pleasure, for that matter.  After all, it's better for her to remain ignorant; so she can be happy being barefoot and barren in the kitchen the rest of her natural borned days.   We are hoping we can kick all the young-uns out of the nest real soon; so we can be eligible to run a servicemen's home. It's such a privilege.  Yes,  it's a big sacrifice; but we had to get snipped; so that we wouldn't have any more "filthy evil children" that "hinder the work of Gawd." 

This Sunday I was goin' to preach about salvation and God's love for us; but Gawd has touched my heart and given me a new message; that really isn't new.  The topic is going to be "Giving As Unto The Lord"; and we are going to use old testament scripture from the book of Malachi.  It's very important that people learn; that the foundation of Christianity is giving to the church organization.  We wouldn't want you to be Gawd robbers; would we?  We just can't emphasize this enough; but we will try.

Last week after we took up the offering, we preached about women painting their faces and bobbing off their hair.  We also preached against the devil vision and being worldly.  LOL  You should have seen their faces during altar call.  My wife and oldest son both got saved; so we were able to add them to the weekly report to HQ.  We have a form that we fill out; that says how many got saved, and how many received the Holy Ghost baptism, and most important, how much cash money everybody gave.  It's really strange; but in our last work we had a total of 400 people get saved; but we only ended up with 2 faithful (tithe paying) church members; and they were the  workers that were sent down from HQ.  But we had a hard time getting along with them; so they requested to be moved to another work.  Oh well.

Next conference we will probably be moved to another work .  We will buy a place that looks like the place pictured on the left.  But after years of "giving 'til it hurts" my wife and I will have it looking like the place on the right.  It will take hard work and sacrifice.  But once it's renovated and lookin' like new, the org will send some dud to replace us; so they can shut down the work and sell that building at three times what we paid for it outta our pockets.

In the mean time we will be sent to a new work overseas with no idea where the escrowed money from our old church went.  If we ask about it, pastor will just say, "It'll be given back at the right time."  Course we know them's just weasel words for "You ain't never seein' that money again this side of glory!"

Oh well, onto our missionary work.  The organization promised us there would be money in the general fund at our new church.  But it will only be 32 cents.  They also told the foreign government official they would support us with finances; but they won't.  That's "just a formality'.  So my wife will get a job; even though in the States my pastor says that is "prostituting that woman".  But like one board member says, "sometimes in the work of the Lawd, certain things are necessary".  So get busy honey.

We won't be getting any money from the organization; even though they promised full support.  Since there are rich G.I.s in the area; we will be expected to "make it happen".  In fact, we won't even be called missionaries ;so the org can call us servicemen's home directors.  That way our organization can expect the G.I.s and us to pay all the bills without using any of the mission works pledge money they took up and squirreled away somewhar.

By the time we realize what's going on, we will want to come back to the States.  But the organization or my pastor will say, "NO!  THAT IS NOT GOD'S WILL FOR YOU!"  So when we do come back, the organization will not renew my minister's license; they will say we are no longer "in good standing" and that way they can justify welching out and not paying us the four years of back pay they promised to pay us for our time spent laboring overseas.  Oh well.  Praise God.

The other ministers in the org will hear pastor's version of our story at the next "Make It Happen" conference. He will tell the that our spending habits got us broke, and how we got old and fearful and stopped trusting God, and so now in pastors words we are runnin' from the call of God and goin' out gettin' jobs.  Our former friends will yell, "Amen!"  "Preach!" and "What a blessing, Sir."

Then they will volunteer to "make it happen"; and they will think that they will get different results than all who have gone before them; even though they do the exact same things as all who have gone before them...  Pastor says that's the definition of insanity -- expecting different results when you do the same thing over and over again... But they will do it.

And they too will wait for the blessing that never comes.  They've been convinced that if they give what pastor gives, they will have what pastor has.  Course, we all know he never really gave anything.  He just married the rich founder's daughter.  But nobody'll say that.  They're too scared to be called jealous; coz once you get labeled as a truth-teller, oops, trouble maker in that bunch, you will be run off.

But back to our former friends (Are they really friends?) who ditched us just because we go to a different church . . .   Though they give more than pastor gives, they will never have what pastor has; (unless they leave the org. or start their own group just like the one they came out of; or the filthy rich founder adopts another daughter and they marry her when she's 16 and they are 25....)

We hope that this letter will encourage people to come to our church.  If any of this scares you we ask that you just give us a try anyway.  We'll treat you in so many ways, you're bound to like one of them.  And if you don't it just means you are angry, bitter, and just didn't want God anyway.  So remember to share the good reports just like my pastor does when he is screaming from the pulpit about those "evil filthy children"  who "hinder the work of Gawd".  Amen.  Preach.  What a blessing.  Thank You, Sir!  May I have another?

Part 1: ntcc Missionaries Suffer Poverty While ntcc Board Members Live In Luxury

Updated 2-16-2013
Matthew 25:40  Click to Watch On YouTube

Pagpalain kayo ng Diyos! - God Bless You!

Please think about this video the next time the ntcc leadership tries to offer some lame excuse for their lack of financial accountability. Think about the lifestyles of the board members who live in luxury while the ntcc missionaries report unbelievable financial hardship, such as:

Rev. and Sis. Mackert ... found a place, 9 feet by 14 feet [9'x14'] and one bathroom. It is on the 6th floor and there is no elevator. The last place they had stayed, they had to share a common bathroom with the other tenants! Yikes! This place has their very own private bathroom, although the Rev. shared there is no seat on the throne, and no way to attach one….

The Devonshire Files Sunday, May 28, 2006 Visit from the Mackerts (5/06).  ntcc photo of the Mackerts at ntcc website:  http://www.myntcc.org/Manila/aboutus.aspx

Meanwhile, "the building goes on in Goshen" -- Which is ntcc code talk and bragging -- "Look at us, we are building lots of buildings in Graham, Washington! We are winning!' Blah, blah, blah
Yup, ntcc has a really nice cult compound called the Bonco where rodger w. davis, who supposedly retired back in 2004, lives in a $1.1 million dollar (Yikes!) mansion owned by the 'non-profit' (Yikes!) ntcc... Here's a picture of the davis palace:

Da davises' Domain Valued at $1,100,000.00 and built for a non-profit retiree who allegedly retired in 2004.
Hmmmnnn...  'BONCO!'

And  kekel has his second mansion, third house, this one built "behind the fence" of the ntcc's Bonco compound in Graham, Washington, right next door to da'-da' davis' palace.  Here's a picture of kekels' kastle:

kekels' kastle next door to da'-da' davis' domain on da Bonco !!

Looks like davis and kekel love their mansions more than they love God.  *Ahem.*  Right?  Right!  Sound familiar?  Uh, Yup!  Uh, Duh!

One person shared that tanya kekel was complaining about having to downsize because this current castle has a smaller kitchen and smaller walk-in closet than the last mansion she lived in (off 145th in Graham). Might we consider that the Mackerts lived in a 9' x 14' space that was probably smaller than only one of tk's walk-in closets!

You see in ntcc when they say the building goes on in Goshen, they are saying, "Oooh!  Look at us!  We are so wealthy.  We've built more mansions for us feudal lords and more rental properties for the serfs, the slaves with "strong backs and weak minds"; that way they can generate more income for us while they clean our mansions for free for us."

But God says:  Woe unto them that join house to house, [that] lay field to field, till [there be] no place, that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth!" Isa. 5:8

Also, that statement, "the building goes on in Goshen" is so true;  the ntcc has used all kinds of slave labor to build their idolatrous temples to men; just as Pharaoh did.  And just like Pharaoh, ntcc used rigour and ruled with force and cruelty, taking away the straw of time, requiring a double quota of results to be produced.

God has heard the cries of His people.

Judgment is coming for some, deliverance for others.  What side will you be on?

Love not the world, neither the things [that are] in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 1 John 2:15

When bloggers began demanding financial accountability from the ntcc borg leaders, the ntcc decided to do damage control by publishing a smoke-screen article about how much money they spent on blacktop.  **YAWN!**  This was just a pitiful attempt to divert attention from where ALL the money goes.  But let's look at an image and talk about it some more:

Note all the black top.  Hmmn.  More important than feeding Filipinos?  Believe it or not, you decide.  You decide  by staying with a group and endorsing their actions.  Or by leaving a group and finding one that supports the causes you believe in.  It's really that simple.  God loves you.  Will you love Him back?

Where Does All The Money Go In The NTCC?

Part 2: NTCC Missionaries Suffer Poverty While NTCC Board Members Live In Luxury

Tour NTCC 4: The Bonco

Update:

After first publishing this story, we found this gem on a ntcc website:

"This was a real victory for our church. We spent very little money from our General Fund, because the people had a mind to work. So, we have 13 pews, and one of the members is having a pulpit made to match ..." T. E. Wright, Angeles City, Philippine Islands
Don and Ange say,

See what we mean here?  The ntcc sends this board member, tom wright to the Philippines to try and rescue a work... But look at his idea of "a real victory" in his own words:

"This was a real victory for our church. We spent very little money from our General Fund"--NTCC Board Member Tom E. Wright, Angeles City, Philippine Islands from the  skewed good news of pews at "New Pews" on ntcc website http://www.ntccmissions.org/angeles.html

We think tanya kekel needs another mansion, don't you?  And her daddy rodger wilson davis needs to live an a mansion valued at $1,100,000.00 that the ntcc built for him even though he allegedly retired back in 2004.  And all the Overseers and Board Members need new Recreational Vehicles, oops, ntcc only calls them Motor Homes (yeah, right, whatever).  While I was in the borg, they owned ELEVEN -- 11 -- Recreational Vehicles.  Each one could be valued conservatively between $200,000.00 - $300,000.00.  That's an estimated $2,200,000.00 - $3,300,000.00 DOLLARS TIED UP IN RECREATIONAL VEHICLES ALONE!

Don't worry about that starving Sister in the Philippines that one Minister testified about. He stated the ntcc boasted about her sacrificial giving of her food money to instead buy gas so she could bring people to church.  ntcc loved that story, until they got called out for letting that same woman, a bible school student, go hungry needlessly while the fat cats in Washington get fatter.

Keep sending in those mission pledges and escrow account funds with no clue as to where the money really goes; 'cause it obviously ain't being spent in the Philippines on silly pews or hungry sisters, that kekel describes as "wasteful congregants"!!!

Whew. Glad to know the ntcc is so responsible and trustworthy that we can just take out our brains, dig in our wallets, and "give 'til it hurts"!! Right? Wrong.
God said to be a good steward. That means knowing where it really goes, folks. Don't put obedience to bullies like kekel and davis over obedience to God. Do what God wants and know where it goes. That is good stewardship.

If the ntcc will not provide financial disclosure, they should not get one cent of your money.

There are plenty of legitimate organizations out there that give full financial disclosure and help people in need every day. Feel free to check them out for yourself.  Or continue giving to the rich; but remember:

He that oppresseth the poor to increase his [riches, and] he that giveth to the rich, [shall] surely [come] to want. Prov. 22:16
