Scamming God's People - Flippin' Churches Part 3

Just a hop, skip and a jump from the NTCC National Campground Resort lies the small town of Auxvasse, Missouri, population 983 [as of 2010 census] and total land area of 0.7 square miles (according to Wikipedia / Auxvasse).

Back in October of 2011 the NTCC was embroiled in a real-estate scandal there, when they purchased a local church's building without the consent of that congregation, doubtless all with the approval of the real-estate savvy NTCC Board Members who do not allow anyone to do anything without their permission.

From KOMU, an NBC affiliate in Missouri:  KOMU.com

Congregation Members Dispute Church Ownership:

Auxvasse, Missouri:

"Doris Brooks, the widow of the last deacon, sold the property to New Testament Christian Church pastor Toby Hanson and his wife Michele for $3,000. Second Baptist members, however, do not think Brooks had rights to the property."  Natalie Cheng, KOMU News Reporter


We Ask:


  • Would the ntcc take advantage of a grieving widow?
  • Would the ntcc real-estate experts steal a church building from a congregation?
  • Would the ntcc then try to pass-off the blame on some front-line minister?
  • Would the minister leave his wife out there to answer for these things?
  • Doesn't the ntcc require YOU to get permission before YOU purchase anything?  YES.


"Congregation members said that even if the Hansons were unaware of the congregation's presence, they hope the Hansons would re-evaluate their actions now the congregation has come forward." 

We are doing our part to help not only the Hansons re-evaluate, but the true culprits, the ntcc real-estate moguls; who have been scamming people for years.  We are prodding them to examine their actions and to remember the words of our LORD:


"Thou shalt love they neighbor as thyself."

In laymen's terms, this has been interpreted as:


DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE OTHERS DO UNTO YOU.

  • Would YOU really want someone to take advantage of your widow?
  • Would you want a church that was your property to be sold out from under you without your consent or knowledge?
  • Would you want your wife to be blamed for something when it had the approval of the NTCC Board Members?
  • What kind of a church or so-called Christian does these things? YOUR NTCC!


Playing The Blame Game?


"Michele Hanson said Brooks approached them about the property, and she felt she was doing a favor to Brooks by pledging to maintain the building."

We gotta say; this reminds us of the Garden Of Eden blame game.   Where Adam, who was charged with dressing and keeping the garden, blames Eve; who blames the serpant.  C'mon now.  Can we get a witness?  "Amen!"


How's Attendance in YOUR NTCC?


"The church had not been in use for a number of years due to the condition of the building."

Wow, Second Baptist must really have it going on!  They haven't used their building "for a number of years"; yet when the congregation showed up, there were more people there then in NTCC churches that have been up and running for years!  LOL!

A Church With No Members?

And why was it so hard for the board overseeing this sale to find this congregation?  Wouldn't a simple poster or two on the door or a notice in the local news suffice to "find the congregation"?  C'mon now.  It is what it is.


What Is NTCC Thinking?

Take a close look at the inside and outside of this building in the video at the bottom of this post.  We notice two things:
  1. The church in the video looks nothing like what ntcc has as their picture of the Auxvasse, MO church on the NTCC Church Locator Site.
  2. The church building in the video is in need of serious repair.  
Let's examine these two issues.


Which Church Is It?

Here Are Two Screen Shots / Photos of The Church In The Video:

 Auxvasse, MO Church Exterior 

Here Is The Picture The NTCC Has On Their Church Locator Page For the Auxvasse, Missouri NTCC "About Us":
NTCC New Testament Christian Churches Of America, Inc.
 Mexico, MO or Auxvasse, MO NTCC? 


Another Fixer Upper:

Clearly the church in the video is in need of serious repair.  If you're "in" NTCC you know what that means:  A)  Time for the local minister to "Make It Happen" and / or B)  Time to call in those so-called 'independent contractors' (the NTCC building crew) and get busy flipping this church building.

Once the building is looking fine, the local minister and his wife can get busy recouping the NTCC corporate's expenditures, pumping the congregation for a "Building Fund" and "Sunday Night Budget Offering", in every service commanding them, the way the NTCC requires its ministers to announce in every service:



"ALL CHRISTIANS PAY TITHES AND GIVE IN OFFERINGS."  


Once the congregation is large enough, and the funds have all been recovered (and then some) and held in the bank escrow account controlled by Graham, Wa. NTCC Corporate Headquarters, then it's time to move the couple who "made it happen" and bring in some other blood.

In fact, with the eXposure this story brings, NTCC has the perfect reason to move the Hansons and bring in an abusive jerk to get rid of any congregants.

That way the NTCC can flip the remodeled building for profit; coz that's how it is in YOUR NTCC. That's how they do it. The Go-Getters will be sent to another new work (read run-down building that needs to be repaired); and the cycle will repeat. Want to see how NTCC works it?

The Fixer-Uppers: Flippin' Churches Part 2

NTCC New Testament Christian Churches of America, Inc.
 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".
NTCC New Testament Christian Churches of America, Inc.
 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.

NTCC New Testament Christian Churches of America, Inc.NTCC New Testament Christian Churches Of America, Inc.

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?

Flippin' Churches Part 1

It's our opinion the ntcc church-flipping empire and real-estate- holding company was created to make a few individuals independently wealthy and to bring in constant streams of income to an organization that brainwashes people into giving all they can so those at the top can prosper.  If not, why is it that only the upper echelon families in corporate ntcc are prospering financially?  Why do seminary students struggle to pay rent, while davis, kekel, ashmore, and other big wigs live in mansions and drive quarter-of-a-million-dollar motor homes, oops, recreational vehicles!?!

Flipping Real Estate:
Flipping real estate is a lucrative business that was created to make large amounts of money in a short period of time.  It also is used by many to launder money; because transactions can be completed quickly and finalized; money can be moved around quickly; and transactions can be complicated, making the money trail hard to follow.  These are the basics of how this works; and why the ntcc is set up perfectly to thrive off real estate.

Real Estate is an Investment:
It has been one of the most stable investments in history; and only recently has it floundered.  Even now, with all of the talk of increasing foreclosures and decreased property values, it is a buyer's market; and choice real estate can be purchased at a steal and sold for a decent profit, if a person knows what to  do.  This is how it works:

Buy Low. Fix Up Cheap. Sell High.
NTCC New Testament Christian Churches of America, Inc.
 Our First Church a Fixer-Upper! 
You buy a building and property that is in foreclosure or that is dirt cheap and in need of many repairs (a fixer-upper).  You squabble with the seller and get them to come down to the lowest price imaginable.  You get the best terms that you can qualify for on a loan.  Then the fun starts.  You make the repairs yourself and hire out to contractors only what you can't do.  The more labor you put into it yourself, the more profit you will make.  After the property is repaired, you give it curb appeal, by doing a few inexpensive things to make it desirable at first glance to those who are in the market to buy; then you sell!

NTCC Sees Servicemen As Free Labor and Deep Pockets:
Or, even more profitable, you can keep it; or hoard it to yourself.  It can become a cash cow under the right circumstances; say, by filling it with cash-only paying renters like bible college students  and ministers; who were recruited from our nation's military forces; and whom you then require to live in your cult compound,  oops, on the campus, or in the Bonco that you own in Graham, Washington.  Since, after all, New Testament Christian Church (NTCC) runs the seminary or bible college and makes all the rules, these students are REQUIRED to obey.  In fact, ntcc will require these men and women to sign a sheet stating they will obey all the rules, even though they don't even know what those rules are that they are agreeing to obey!

CASH ONLY RENTAL INCOME, Oops, "Home Offerings"
Or you can make money off your investment, your upgraded fixer-upper, by filling it with cash-only tithe-paying G.I.s and service members who live at the home and are required by ntcc to  sign a contract before moving in; which requires them to obey ALL the rules that they haven't even seen or heard yet, and requires them to attend all church/home functions, and pledges, in writing, that they will pay cash-only rent; oops!  We meant to say "home offerings" and  various other offerings that are encouraged to be made in each mandatory church function, where the ntcc minister is required to admonish everyone that "all Christians pay tithes and give in offerings"!  So if you don't, in the ntcc CULTure, you are NOT considered a Christian; you are "lost" or hellbound!

Free Labor:  G.I.s, Seminary Students, and  Preachers:
The ntcc is set up perfectly to create endless streams of cash income to its founders and overseers.  Not only do they have free labor; but they have lots of it.  G.I.s will "do anything for the work of God"; especially since that will be pounded into them and used to humiliate them if they don't "give 'til it hurts".  But most succumb easily enough.  Give them some biscuits and gravy for breakfast;  and they will work all day without a break.  In the words of tanya davis kekel, who learned it from her mamma and daddy, [verna mae (not victoria, that's a name verna gave herself to make herself look like some kind of queen-B) and rodger wilson davis], the ntcc sees people as:

"Strong backs with weak minds." Quoting davis and kekel

In other words, you exist for them to exploit!  They take  advantage of your Christian charity / love to serve their selfish agendas.  Meanwhile they despise you as being weak minded but willing to do the heavy lifting; so they don't have to lift a finger.  Ahem.

Skilled Laborers Working For Peanuts:
Another way ntcc gets free or cheap labor is from the skills of bible college seminary students and ministers.  Many of these ntcc men have a little bit of experience doing stuff like plumbing, electrical, drywall, roofing, etc.  So ntcc has all of the worker-bees they need; and ntcc can increase the value of a building exponentially in a short time by (ab)using this free-labor and cheap-labor work force.  After all,


"Anyone who loves God would do anything for the work of God."  ntcc cult jargon to exploit and use people

All the ntcc has to do is 'preach' to them; and they will do anything.  "If you love God, come by this Saturday and lend a hand for the work of the Lord.  Help us put a roof on this building for the Lord.  Help us sand the arches in this sanctuary for the Lord.  Come help build the retaining wall for our massive church parking lot.  You love God; don't you?"  You get the picture.  It is straight-up spiritual manipulation playing on a Christian's love for the Lord in order to exploit him or her.  Shame on you, ntcc!

Pioneer Works and Workers:
NTCC New Testament Christian Churches of America, Inc.
 In a Few Years of Hard Work / Sacrifice 
 And Most Important G.I.s Tithe Monies! 
Many times a new preacher, or "Pioneer" as they are so called in ntcc, will buy a building that is not fit to be lived in by a dog.  While they also have a full-time job and family to feed, they will live in this building, and spend large amounts of their hard earned money fixing and repairing it on their limited time off between church services.  While the corporate ntcc coffers grow, no money is sent to help these struggling ministers start or pioneer these works.

If the minister is in an "established work" he generally will use the brethren as free labor; just like he was trained to do at the ntcc bible school (now called a seminary, even though ntcc used to mock other seminaries, calling them "cemeteries".  Hypocrites.)

If it's just the preacher and his family in a work, he will use his wife and kids if he has to.  The first task is to make the place livable.  Then they do all the things necessary to transform it into a church or servicemen's home with a sanctuary. They will work on it for months and years to make it better and better.

Once they have increased the value of the property 2 or 3 fold or more, and have a small congregation of givers, can you guess what happens next?  One of two things can happen next:

Flip That Building (Sell for Profit):

The first is that Rodger Wilson Davis and his band of 'leaders' (who crack the whip from the rear) can opt to send a complete dud and abusive jerk to a work.  This is done so that he can systematically destroy the congregation by running off everyone.

This option works best if ntcc has a good chunk of equity in a property and wants to tap into that money for the purchase of a new recreational vehicle, oops, motor home, or to send a privileged kid, the founder's grandson, to secular school, or to buy that kid some T.V.s and DVD players and games; because he's not a prayer warrior, but an e-warrior!   And he, like his daddy and grandpappy, needs the latest toys to keep him occupied, even if those toys are purchased off your sacrifice, dime, and time.  Or who know's?  Maybe this profit from a so-called non-profit is needed so tanya kekel can go to the malls and 'shop 'til she drops'?

Whatever the reason, the idea is to run off all the faithful congregants, (who gave their time and money to build the church and the escrow account), and sell the property for a profit, (now that it is renovated), and pocket the proceeds, (zero out the escrow account), since there are no congregants to wonder what happened to all that money they gave; then ntcc corporate can continue to stump for more money at the next conference in order to have  more funds to misappropriate.  Sound about right?  Right.  But oh so wrong.  But that is how it is in YOUR ntcc.  If not, why all the secrecy?  Why is there zero financial transparency in YOUR ntcc?

Milk It For More Cash Income:

Or, getting back to how ntcc pulls off the real-estate shuffle:  The "Pioneer" (construction handyman) worker is "called by Gawd" (or was it Rodger Wilson Davis and the Executive Board?), to go to another work.  Guess what?  He did such a good job flipping this property, ntcc is going to make him and his family "Pioneer" another work.  They get to start all over from scratch, putting all their time and work and money into another "Fixer-Upper" so that the Borg can turn another profit and send them somewhere else.

Now that this dude is gone from these renovated churches and does not have any interest whatsoever in the profit that he has generated and the equity that he has created,  another man has come to take his place; the church is growing and needs a larger sanctuary or more parking spaces.  What will ntcc do?  They will send the ntcc building crew down there to extend the sanctuary and make more parking spaces.

The ntcc has the cheapest labor on planet earth.  Where else can you find builders that are skilled enough to own their own construction businesses as General Contractors, who will do quality work for 6 dollars per hour?  Only in the ntcc.  Not only that, they will only be paid for forty hours a week, despite working much longer hours, with no breaks or paid lunches or vacations or benefits. They will also be expected to buy all their own tools and safety equipment.  Some will even try to cheat the hardware store by purchasing a specialized tool, using it for that one job, then returning it for a refund!  The things they teach you in the ntcc!

But to get back to profiting from real estate:  Now the ntcc has a building that was purchased for less than 40k, that is now, thanks to free or cheap labor, worth well over $100,000.00.  This building will continue to bring in tithes and offerings for years and years to come.  The money will be sent to an escrow account controlled by the Graham, Washington ntcc.  And the local pastor will be told to continue  "to take up an offering"  rather than use the money the local church raised!

If the pastor can brainwash enough new converts, he can "go full-time" in the ministry.  That means he can sit on his lazy seat of do-nothing, let his congregation support him, and have a small fraction of the power that the rulers of this real-estate empire are enjoying.

Renting a Building That You Already Purchased and Renovated:
Now ntcc has many fully functional upgraded churches and servicemen's homes that have been improved and renovated; their values increased 2 or 3 times or more; many of them are paid off; yet the ntcc corporate is still charging rent on the property!  Plus the congregants are bringing in tithes and offerings, 40% of which (after the bills are paid) get sent to the mother church in Graham, Washington via the ntcc invisible escrow account system; that just keeps building and building but is controlled by corporate ntcc.   Nobody ever dares to question what is done with that escrow money; now do they?

Disappearing Escrow Money?
The escrow money is like a big slush fund that the ntcc overseers of the Borg can control as they see fit.  Once a local pastor deposits the required 40% of the money (after church bills are met) that he collected from the local congregation, (people who are led to believe that money will go toward their local church expenses), that pastor and his congregation no longer have control over the money.  It goes into an "escrow account" that is controlled by corporate ntcc in Graham, Washington.

  • Why don't  the leaders of the ntcc show some financial transparency and let the members of the church know where their money is going?
  • Why aren't some local ministers and members appointed to oversee the escrow account from each local church?
  • The local congregation gave the money.
  • Why don't they have control over it?!!!

If ntcc corporate is doing right according to God, why are they being so secretive?  Could it be that they have much to hide?  Could it be that ntcc is laundering money or involved in some other unscrupulous activities?  Isn't it written that if your deeds are evil you try to hide from the light?  Look at the Gospel of John, chapter three:

And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.  Jhn 3:19

For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.  Jhn 3:20

But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.  Jhn 3:21
When you are doing right, you don't need to hide!

Money Laundering?
Money laundering takes place when money obtained illegally or under false pretenses is used to purchase real-estate that will later be sold for a profit.  We're not accusing ntcc of money laundering; but their secrecy and many of their practices as a non-profit organization do raise the question.

What will happen if they get nationally eXposed as a cult?  If Sixty Minutes or some other major news organization were to run the stories of the abuse of people and money, there would be enormous pressure to completely compromise the rest of the standards that ntcc has yet to compromise.  Otherwise everything in ntcc could come crashing down around them.  They would be eXposed for what they are; and people would begin to leave by the hundreds.

What would happen to the leaders who have been living off the money given by the masses?  Would they sell all of the ntcc properties and zero all of the invisible escrow accounts, making deposits in off-shore banks, and live the rest of their lives in luxury?  Isn't it true that they wouldn't 're-fire'; but they would 're-tire' and be independently wealthy, living off the interest of those fat invisible bank accounts?

Where Did Your Money Go?
Now that ntcc is having to address many issues that have been brought to the light publicly by this and other blogs, maybe they can address the issue of transparency.  It's long overdue; and there are many ministers and members that would love to know where their hard earned money has gone.  Our guess is that the ntcc will never be transparent.

  • Transparency equals Honesty.
  • Honesty equals Truthfulness.
  • Truthfulness involves Character.
  • Character requires Integrity.
  • Integrity requires Faithfulness.

In our opinion ntcc will NEVER be able to exhibit these qualities; because these qualities do not exist in their lives.
