The Moreno Family

Roland and Maria

Perhaps the worst tragedy in the history of NTCC is the death at gunpoint of four members of the Moreno family.

It is our opinion that the many well documented abusive practices and false doctrines of the NTCC caused this tragic loss of four souls.

The scope of this tragedy is so huge, we have discussed it in several articles.  So we've created a series linking these related articles that we feel address the issues that contributed to this tragedy.

There is a link [below] for the series.  It will open a mobile format showing the related posts' titles and thumbnail photos.  We recommend reading in chronological order, starting with the oldest posts that are at the bottom of the series' page.  You can use your browser's "Back" button to return to the series' summary page after reading each article.

We hope people will read this truly tragic story and understand the deadly consequence of teaching false doctrines and of abusing souls under the guise of religion.

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

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

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

bun·ko  (Source:  Dictionary Reference)

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

(2)  any misrepresentation.

bonko  (Source:  Urban Dictionary)

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

bun·ko  (Source:  Answers dot Com)

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

(2)  To swindle.

BUNCO  (Source Merriam-Webster)

(1)  a swindling game or scheme

Variants of BUNCO
bun·co or bun·ko

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We also looked at the Bing Map Images for these coordinates.  But the image is more dated and kekels' kastle does not show.

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

 Back Side Of Bonco Mansion
 Bordering Horse Pastures 

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

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

Kill the Whistle-blower, Promote the Adulterer: Sin the ntcc Way aka The Gossip Column

When Roland Moreno reported Phil Kinson's adultery with a whore, the ntcc began a calculated program to run the Morenos off, to cut them off and destroy their credibility within the ntcc.

ntcc does not want truth-tellers who blow the whistle on sin.

But ntcc does want adulterers like Phil Kinson and Rodger Davis.

So ntcc calls truth tellers "gossipers".  But then davis and kekel get up and "hide behind the pulpit" while spreading some of the biggest lies you will ever hear and hide online behind names like "The Whirlwind" to spread libel (written lies) about people.

Here's some of a comment we made in response to Nicole B.'s comment on a previous post.  It addresses the difference between gossip and truth telling by calling sin a sin:


You're so right, Nicole.  First of all, the ntcc leaders really do gossip all the time.  Just ask anyone who has spent time around the board members and their wives and you will know what gossip is.

Secondly, there is a time to air the dirty laundry; and it is not the sin of gossip.  The apostle Paul plainly wrote openly about the man who had sex with his father's wife.  Paul told the Corinthians to put the man aside so the man would repent.  Once he did repent, Paul instructed the Corinthians to receive the man again into the fold.

In ntcc, it does not work that way.  They ran off Moreno because he exposed Phil Kinson's adultery with a whore.

But they promoted the impenitent adulterer Phil Kinson.

ntcc is run by an impenitent adulterer, rodger davis.  Who will run you off if you don't kiss his butt.

That's the bottom line, folks.  Pun intended.

But it's not how God operates.  God wants people to confess their sins, not make excuses like "it's not adultery if you wear a condom".

God wants to forgive, not treat people so bad they murder their families and kill themselves.

ntcc hides the sin of their family members, while attacking real Christians even to death.

God sees this.  Will you?  Will you admit that it is not gossip to expose sin and support the person who has the Godly integrity to call adultery a sin?  Or will you continue in the ntcc excuse cycle, 'Pastor says...'

We fear for those of you who continue in the sins of these ungodly hypocrites.  Evil communications corrupt good manners.  Don't you think you should stand for Jesus MORE than you bow to davis and kekel????

Telling the truth to get people to repent used to be called preaching.  ntcc wants you to live in fear to their cult phrase 'gossip' while they go around and actually gossip spreading slanderous lies and libel.

People, God does not want you to be blown about by all the false doctrine put out by groups like the ntcc.  Grow up in grace and in the knowledge of the truth.  Get in your bibles and apply what you see.  Stop looking to davis and kekel to wipe your nose and tell you what to do.

Let the Spirit lead you.  Isn't that what the Bible says of the children of God?  They are to be Spirit led, not spoon fed by hypocrites like Phil Kinson who can't keep  his 'johnson' behind his zipper, that 3rd brownie out of his mouth, his hands off a 13 year old girl's butt, or even keep his marriage vows.  Come on people.  You don't need to follow a "leader" that can not control his own fleshly appetites.  Get real.  Look to GOD for your direction.  He will start by bringing you out of the controlling ntcc cult.

Moreno Tragedy

A very dark chapter of ntcc's history is the Moreno Tragedy.

In September of 2003 Roland Moreno murdered his pregnant wife, 5 year-old son, and then allegedly shot himself ending his life too.

Triple Murder and Suicide(?) Online News Story Click Here

Was it really a gun
 that killed the Moreno family? 
 Or was it the ntcc / davis 
 false doctrine that 
 "children hinder  the
work of the borg lawd" ?! 

People who knew him were stunned.  He had been part of ntcc and wanted to go into servicemen's work.  But ntcc supposedly did not allow people with children to run servicemen's homes, although both the Bradeens and Taylors did so for years and years.  In the news article it was reported that when he found out his wife was pregnant, Moreno bought a gun.  He shot her, their boy, then called his ntcc pastor, Jake Espinoza, confessed, asked for prayer, and then allegedly shot himself dead.

How tragic.  ntcc should stop teaching the lie that "children hinder the work of gawd".  Especially since the man who teaches that false doctrine, Rodger Wilson Davis, made sure he and his second wife (after adultery, divorce, and marriage), Verna Mae, would have a child to raise.  They went out of their way to adopt a girl in the Philippines.  Some speculate that their daughter may be the illegitimate child of Davis with "another woman" - Elizabeth Haynes Reynolds, who is listed as the girl's birth mother on the Adoption Registry search for Tanya Tanya Maxamillia Reynolds Davis Kekel (Sister Kekel, wife of Mike/ Michael Craig Kekel, NTCC CEO):

Tanya Kekel Adoption Registry Search Click Here

We mention this adoption since it shows the significant double standard that exists in the NTCC, where the Board Members tell you to sacrifice, while they do whatever they wish.  These life-altering sacrifices, taught by the NTCC but not kept by NTCC leaders, have permanent deadly consequences.  These deadly double standards are enforced with rigorous public humiliation like yelling at pregnant women from the pulpit telling them "Lady, you are going to have to answer to God for ruining your husband's ministry!"  Well, who will answer to God for the despair that drove Roland Moreno to murder his son and pregnant wife when he learned she was pregnant?

Spiritual Homicide: Murdering Souls In The Name Of The Lord

How often have we seen the spiritual bullying that goes on in the NTCC? In many NTCC churches the spiritual bullying goes on IN EVERY SERVICE. Each service provides a new target of opportunity for a NTCC bully to lash out with brutal words that cut deep into the soul. We've seen it so much we've become numb to it.

Unfortunately for those on the receiving end of these tirades, the numbness doesn't come. Some still feel the pain years and years after having left the NTCC. Some decide to make themselves numb the only way they know how. We've read the accounts of the man who allegedly murdered his four year old son and pregnant wife before turning the gun on himself. And why? Because of the constant belittling he received while in the NTCC.

Spiritual bullying is real in the NTCC.

The consequences are real, deadly, and eternal.

Think about what you see.

Try to step back and see it from the eyes of a first-time visitor.

 Many NTCC preachers
 act like rabid dogs as
 they foam at the mouth
 and growl while they
 "Hide Behind The Pulpit" 

Do the typical NTCC bully-pulpit tactics really represent Christ?

Why be a part of that?

Bullied to Death
