A Letter To J.R. Ashmore

Very recently I wrote a letter to J.R. Ashmore's Facebook account. To be fair to him it was sent just yesterday to his James Ashmore's Facebook account; and because we are not Facebook Friends these types of letters can go unnoticed and they go into a Message file that's labelled as "Other" messages, as opposed to going into the regular "Inbox" message file. At the time of this post it doesn't appear to have been read yet by JRA; which I don't hold against him. I do think that the letter needs to be public, however; and I also believe that the questions that I asked are questions that many people have and deserve to know the answers to.

The first set of questions that I asked were in reference to finances; which I believe everyone has a right to know, even people who aren't current members now, but that might be considering attending JRA's Jesus Revival Ministries in the future. I'm trying to be objective in this letter and allow him to address the questions that we might have. We've all been burned really bad in the ntcc; and James Ross Ashmore was a high ranking Board Member of that group that we all respected. I held JRA in very high regard even after getting out and during part of the time that I was blogging until some really bad allegations came out against him; at which time we started blogging about him.

Some very good friends who we respect a lot have recently suggested that we should not be so hard on him; because he, much like us, was also under the same brainwashing just at a higher level. We see a major difference. Ashmore had been a Board member of NTCC since it's inception in 1987 and was a Board Member of NTCC's predecessor, NTCG, since 1975. Basically Ashmore became the Secretary Treasurer of NTCG, replacing L.G. Parsons, presumably after allegations of Davis having an affair with Parson's wife caused a split in which the bible school relocated to 2170 Forest Ave. Since Ashmore was such a heavy hitter for NTCG/NTCC, and was privy to much more info than us average church schlubs, we have a very hard time with this simplistic brainwashing theory. Ashmore helped mold these organizations, sitting on the Boards and giving his approval to their doctrines and actions. As a result of his and other Board Members' actions (or lack thereof) most of us have paid very high prices for our ntcc experience.

Additionally, from all accounts, James Ross Ashmore has profited financially and seems to be very well off in his new church. This is remarkable when compared to the commonplace poverty endured by other long-time ntcc ministers. At any rate, I wanted to invite him to answer questions that I have and also any questions that you might have. I would appreciate it if people refrained from name calling for the purpose of being objective. If any of James Ashmore's current members or current supporters would like to say anything in his defense, they are also welcome to do so. I realize that I have been one of his biggest critics; and I have sided on our blog with people that have accused him of some pretty bad things.

In the second section of this letter I have asked him questions relating to the alleged misconduct that others have brought forth and these allegations are concerning Moreno, Lisa Norton and Lori Kelley, Kenneth McPherson and Julie St. Clair. I'm using maiden names because the incidents that involved these people happened a long time ago and the alleged involvement of James Ashmore occurred during that time period. It's been shared that you can't expect someone to go public about things that could implicate them in what may be considered criminal activity, but David did, and he was King of Jerusalem and God allowed him to keep his office. Perhaps if James Ashmore is sincere, God will do the same for him if he admits that he had a part in any of these incidents. My guess is that Ashmore probably won't address any of this. I would hope that he would address at the very least the first six questions that have to do with financial transparency. I feel that because of his position in the ntcc, which he refers to as "The Whore", he owes at least some honesty and transparency to the people who once followed him and believed in him in the ntcc. If anyone else has any questions for him they are welcome to ask in the comment section; however, I would not be surprised if he does not answer. I do want folks to consider that James Ashmore is now holding church services in a building that has a present real estate value of close to 1.5 million dollars and appears to be living in a very nice house which most likely is in an expensive area in San Diego, which is more of an educated guess on my part just from what I've seen from his Facebook videos recorded inside his house and the places he's filmed teaching. Is this wrong? I believe that he should be open about it with the people he formerly profited off of and with his current followers and members. The letter I wrote to him is verbatim as follows:

 We sent a message to James Ashmore's Commentary on
 Facebook asking for some simple answers.  Feel free to
 add your questions about why he left NTCC and started
 his own group that he calls Jesus Revival Ministries. 

Hello, just a friendly letter to say congratulations for leaving the ntcc, but after what we all went through it's pretty hard to believe that you have changed. I think it's great that you seem to have had a change of heart on the holiness movement which seemed more to be a doctrine of control than an indicator of faithfulness. By the way, this is Don and I'm sure you've heard of our blog and much of what we blog about. We run a blog to help folks that have been hurt by the ntcc. He have blogged about you extensively and I'm sure that is no secret either. We have close friends that have recently told us that you have changed and that we should not include you when we blog about the ntcc. Up until now, we have been very vocal about you because of the testimonies of not one or two or three witnesses but more than that. Some of the things that you were allegedly responsible for in the ntcc were terrible and definitely not Christ like. I understand that people can repent and that people can change and I would like to believe that about you and Helen, but I have seen no evidence of change. I have been telling folks that if you changed that they would see that change. We all were burned by the ntcc. We gave of our time, money and sweat until we had nothing else to give and we did it as unto the Lord, for nothing in return. Many were kicked to the curb and never visited one time after they left. Many paid their tithe faithfully and were loyal to every church function, every fellowship meeting and every conference but God forbid that we should ever ask or know where our money went. I'm trying to convince people that they should exercise caution before jumping on board with you because I don't see any difference. I want to give you a chance to answer if you will. I'm pretty sure you will just discount everything I say and chalk it all up to the devil and handle this in the same way that the ntcc would handle it.

I have to ask you a few questions and I hope you would answer them honestly before I am willing to believe that you changed at all, (which probably isn't much of a concern to you, but I thought I'd try anyway). The questions that I'm asking should not offend you if everything is right between you and Jesus. In the ntcc everything was done secretively and without transparency and we were all burned. I'm hoping that you are willing to be open and honest about these topics. If you do decide to answer any of these questions please give real answers and don't tap dance. Just answer them straight up. We think people have a right to know and a lot of our readers believe that they have a right to know also. Thank you.

1. Do you believe in or teach people to pay tithes? If you do, what New Testament Scripture do you use to justify it.

2. Do you believe that people have a right to know where their tithe dollars go after being burned for so long in the ntcc?

3. Do you believe that a preacher of the gospel has a moral obligation to be financially transparent?

4. If your church members are paying for your church rent and your home expenses, do they have a right to know how much of their money is going to support you?

5. Are you willing to go public with the financial information that we have asked you about so that former ntcc members that might be considering joining your church can trust you? We believe that a church leader's supporters should know how much money they spend at restaurants, while they sacrifice and budget their grocery bills to pay offerings and tithe to the church. They should know how much of their money goes into your transportation costs while they budget themselves to drive around in oil puking junkers to support their church leaders. They should know how much they are paying for your home and your church while they sacrifice to pay for their church leaders to live the good life. The ntcc leadership has always been secretive and they get very sensitive when you ask about where money goes.

6. Why is it that your blog is private? Shouldn't people that might be considering joining your church have access to the things you teach? Why the shroud of secrecy?

The above questions should be public information and should be available to anyone who attends your church especially if you are being supported by your church members. The following questions are for the victims of abuse that have reported you on our blog. We feel that they have the right to ask you these questions. If it were one or maybe two, I would consider that possibly they could have been lying, but there are too many that have come forward. Below is a list of questions pertaining to the more serious accusations.

1. Did you sexually abuse Julie in any way, did you touch her inappropriately, did you do anything that might be construed as sexual in nature? If you did, did you repent and ask God to forgive you and are you willing to attempt to make things right with Julie?

2. Were you involved in any way in the Phil Kinson Cover up that took place in Japan? Were you sent there to reprimand Roland Moreno or his Family in any way? Did R.W. Davis or Kinson or anyone tell you that Phil Kinson had Roland Moreno drive him to a whore house to retrieve his wallet? This incident resulted in one of the greatest tragedies in ntcc history. If you do admit to this, did you repent and ask Jesus to forgive you?

3. Did you do anything or say anything to Lisa Norton and Lori Kelly to run them off after Johnny Jordan got Lisa pregnant and R.W. Davis moved Johnny and Pam to Graham? Lisa and Lori both claimed that you called them sluts and whores from behind the pulpit after Davis influenced Barbara Norton to abandon Lisa and her special needs brother around Christmas time. If you did have a part in this did you repent? Did you ask God to forgive you and did you do anything to make this right with Lisa and Lori?

4. Did you know that Ken McPherson was raped by Johnny Jordan? Did you allow two confessing homosexuals to attend different churches while trying to run Ken out of the church? Ken says that he could do nothing right and that you criticized him and asked him to just leave the church, while people like Batson and Peters were protected by you. If you did treat Ken unfairly in anyway, did you repent and make it right with God or attempt to make it right with Ken?

Finally just between you and me, do you really believe in the blood moon doctrine that Meinecke is talking about? It hasn't been until very recently that people started calling Harvest moons, blood moons. He said that this past blood moon was the third of four and I looked it up and it's really the first of four, but to use something like a harvest moon to convince people that it's the end of times seems to be a stretch even for you.

 Some people try to use "Signs Of The Times" 'preaching'
 to frighten people into doing whatever the so-called
 'preacher' wants them to do. Don't be fooled!  Jesus
 plainly stated that only the Father in heaven knows
 when the coming of the Son of Man will be. 

Note To Our Readers:
Don't be misled by some who try to act like they know when the coming of the Son of Man will be. Jesus plainly stated that only the Father in heaven knows that:

But of that day and hour knoweth no [man], no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. Mat 24:36 KJV here

But of that day and [that] hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. Mar 13:32 KJV here

Don't Fear Those Presumptuous Prophets:
When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that [is] the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, [but] the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him. Deu 18:22 KJV here

James Ashmore and The Hebrew Roots Movement

While visiting the Facebook page entitled James Ashmore's Commentary I noticed that he has made some changes, or given his page a face lift. He recently has visited and liked a Facebook page called "Jews for Messiah". Not only did JRA "Like" the Facebook page, but he also replaced the banner on his Facebook page, (James Ashmore's Commentary), with the banner from the "Jews for Messiah" Facebook page and shared pictures from their page. You might say big deal, who cares? Well it seems to me that JRA has spent the greater part of the last four decades preaching against other cults and churches and has been a big supporter of the ntcc being the last move of God on planet earth. The Jews for Messiah Facebook "About" page gives the description of what their Facebook page is all about: "Discussing the long-awaited Messiah promised in the Tanakh." 

This word is defined as:
Tanakh is an acronym of the first Hebrew letter of each of the Masoretic Text's three traditional subdivisions: Torah ("Teaching", also known as the Five Books of Moses), Nevi'im ("Prophets") and Ketuvim ("Writings")—hence TaNaKh. Basically the Old Testament of the bible makes up what they are calling the Tanakh. - Wikipedia

Apparently they are still waiting for the coming of this Messiah; because the whole purpose of their Facebook page is to discuss the long-awaited Messiah. This group that Ashmore seems to like well enough to pattern his own page after is very secretive like the ntcc and Ashmore. They say that they will not argue about what they believe in. Any attempts to argue will result in you being 'unfriended', which is Facebook vernacular for 'disfellowshipped'. They seem to profess Christianity without mentioning Christ. They seem to believe in the bible but call it the Torah. If they are still discussing the long awaited arrival of the Messiah that was spoken of in the Old Testament, they need to get their noses in the New Testament and read all about it. Don't hide it behind a shroud of secrecy and call it something else.  This secretive tactic reminds us of the "movement" called the Hebrew Roots Movement.

Let's take a deeper look at the Hebrew Roots Movement.  First of all, it can only be traced back to the early twentieth century.  That means from 1 A.D. to 1901 that everyone else was in darkness because they didn't have this doctrine.  Much like the Holiness doctrine that the ntcc teaches, "holiness" sprung up out of nowhere in the 18th and 19th centuries. The Hebrew Roots Heresy sprang out of nowhere in the early part of last century and had its most profound impact when the organization called the World Wide Church of God began to teach Hebrew Roots Doctrine.  The founder of the Hebrew Roots Doctrine according to Wiki was Herbert W. Armstrong, (HWA) who was the RWD of the Hebrew Roots Movement.  Shortly after Armstrong's death in 1984, the doctrine was modified to be compatible with mainstream Evangelical Christianity. Imagine that, folks, it was changed.  This is what Kekel is trying to do with the ntcc.  By taking the old definitions of "holiness" out of the church bylaws, which were instituted by RWD, Kekel is attempting to make the ntcc's religion compatible with modern Christianity.  But let's consider this a little bit.  If the Hebrew Roots Movement is correct that would have to mean that all of the Christians were wrong from the early church all the way until the Hebrew Roots Movement got it right after changing it to fit in with modern Christianity in the late 1980's.  Out of the World Wide Church of God you will find a whole bunch of splinter groups that have the same COG, (Church of God) suffix but they have done away with much of the Hebrew Roots Movement. Now one large faction of the movement calls themselves 119 ministries.

Not only does the New Testament not command Torah-observance. The New Testament teaches AGAINST Torah-observance. Colossians 2:16 "Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days"  The 119 Ministries (A large group within the Hebrews Roots Movement) teaches these false doctrines.

What does the Hebrew Roots Heresy teach?  Well I'm glad you asked.  First of all they have removed Jesus from the equation by renaming him.  Jesus is now called Yashua.  If you were to go to a 119 ministries cult meeting and say the name Jesus, it would be like going to an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting and saying: "My name is Don and I USED to be an Alcoholic".  In the AA group meetings, you will be an Alcoholic until the day you die even if you never take a sip for the rest of your life. Saying that you USED to be an Alcoholic makes you a heretic to them.  I know, because I actually attended one of their meetings with a friend and said that.  They were all appalled and excoriated me for saying that.  We are talking about taking Jesus out of Christianity.  "None other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved".  Acts 4:12 There's one huge red flag for you. They also keep the Sabbath and many of the Old Testament Feasts.  They have a diet which is considered to be a vegetarian diet by many; and they like to grow beards.  But they have a whole dictionary full of cult jargon that they use to describe their beliefs; and if you don't have a translator of Hebrew Roots words than you are going to have to rely on the Church leadership's honesty and integrity to steer you in the right direction.  Sound Familiar?  They also teach mostly old testament doctrine.  The Jews for Messiah Facebook 'About' page states their purpose fairly plainly.  They are still waiting for the coming of the Long-awaited Messiah; who apparently has yet to come. The purpose of the Hebrew Roots Movement or Heresy is to convert Christians into Jews.  If you were to do a Google search on the Hebrew Roots Movement you would find a whole bunch of anti-HRM blogs that warn you not to join that cult.

Christ's Gospel vs. Hebrew Roots YouTube

Ashmore is really out there spiritually.  He is doing this stuff in broad daylight.  Now, we understand that the majority of the ntcc'rs and Ashmorgites all think we are 'of the devil' because we speak out against these cults.  Please, please, please do yourself a huge favor and do a little bit of research before signing up for a new cult.  Now Ashmore has just been put in the position of having to do damage control.  He either has to deny that the Jews for Messiah group is part of the Hebrew Roots Movement which by all accounts they don't deny, or try to convince people that this new movement is not a cult, or he might just play the ignorance card and say he went there because he likes the pictures.  There are some folks on JRA's friends list that are part of the HRM and I wouldn't be surprised if JRA rolls up his sleeves and dives in head first, but you can't say that we didn't warn you.

I have a friend who used to be in the ntcc for maybe 2 or 3 years, who got out and remained a Christian and was a big part of his own church back home.  He became a youth minister and had a great life ahead of him.  Recently he told me about the 119 ministries and started throwing around terms like Yashua, Y'shua and Torah.    I tried to reason with him, but there was no changing his mind.  He already started growing the beard, (like Ashmore), and he was on the diet and he was keeping the feasts and all the other sacraments and beliefs that are kept by the 119 ministries of the Hebrew Roots Movement.  Talk about jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire!

They are also a lot like Dawkins, Marx and Charles Taz Russell (other cult leaders) in that they don't believe in Christmas.  RWD was the Grinch that stole Christmas away from what was left of the Norton Family after he coordinated the Matriarch, Barbara Norton Warwick's abandonment of her 15 year old pregnant-by-rape daughter, Lisa and her special needs brother, Terry, leaving them in an empty house that was pillaged by Davis to include the removal of their Christmas tree and presents. Ashmore finished it off by labeling Lisa and her friend Lori as whores and sluts and leaving them bereft of friends and family.  I wonder if it hurt the feelings of those girls to have a so-called minister call them sluts and whores from the pulpit?  This is the guy that many of you are choosing to follow. Can such a person be saved and capable of leading people to Christ and Heaven?  Anything is possible, but I'm certainly not wanting to experiment with a new splinter group of the ntcc.  

Birds of A Feather

We were looking at Facebook pages and saw how all of a sudden a new friendship has sprouted up between the Ashmores and Donny Ridgeway.  This is very interesting to us; because Donny Ridgeway is one of the many reasons we now have comment moderation on this blog.  He wrote one comment on our blog that was completely degrading Julie.  So we did not publish it.  There were also many anonymous comments from someone who claimed to be a friend of Donny.  Those were some of the filthiest comments we ever got in our moderation folder.  They never contained anything constructive; instead, the person sending those anonymous comments would always just be name-calling and cursing.  There was never any substance. Anonymous would call Julie bad names and talk bad about her due to her Cerebral Palsy. And Anon would use the filthiest expletives (curse words) that you could possibly imagine.  Naturally we did not publish those comments from the 'friend of Donny' Anonymous, nor from the other railers and revilers who used lots of cursing and made lewd suggestions without sharing anything worth reading.  The volume of those sick comments was staggering.  There are really some sick people in this world; and ntcc has more than a fair share of them in their camp.  It was freakish how one girl's stories triggered so many freaks to come out of the woodwork. Maybe they were afraid that she would be blogging about them next?  Who knows?  But the point is, there are lots of twisted people 'defending' the ntcc.

Soap and Cursing on YouTube


We have yet to post Julie's complete testimony about Ashmore; because people had a hard time believing all the board members that were involved in abusing her.  We did get an email from her brother John St. Clair, (that's who claimed to have written it), that acknowledged Ashmore's involvement.  We think Davis purposely arranged for all of these interludes; so that when he got caught nobody could turn on him; because they all did the same thing; they were all dirty.  We mean, how could Ashmore and Kekel out Davis for partaking in the same abuse?

Of course maybe folks just believe that it's all coincidence.  Joan admitted that Ralph raped Julie and lost his phony ntcc preacher's license for six months.  Ralph mysteriously dies without a shred of evidence a year later.  Reports of Ralph receiving preferential treatment like a free, all-expense-paid trip for two to conference and a new car, (hush money), and even a future position on the Board, flooded in.  Most of the stuff we didn't publish; but we still have it on file.  Julie named Kekel, Davis, Ashmore and others as the perpetrators; and not one of them has come forward and denied it.

Julie exposed the Spanking scandal that was prevalent in the ntcc.  Davis, Kekel, Rudy, and others practiced spanking other peoples' children; and they would pull down their underwear to spank them. And Angela (Hill) Eury allegedly was spanking Julie when Julie was a newlywed 16 year old living in San Antonio with Donny Ridgeway.  What was interesting about this, was that we only briefly mentioned Angela (Hill) Eury's name to Julie, and Julie was off and running telling us about how much she allegedly suffered at the hands of AHE.  That speaks to us that this was a reality in Julie's life.  Just the name of Angela (Hill) Eury triggered a huge unexpected outpouring of what Julie allegedly suffered.  She had no reason to share that.  We were not even planning on blogging about that, with all the other topics we needed to cover at that time; but, things have a way of surfacing again over time.  When we learned this about Angela (Hill) Eury, we suddenly understood why she was so tight with Tanya Davis Kekel.  In fact, the picture of Tanya that was used in the "Who's Your Daddy" scandal originally had Angela (Hill) Eury standing next to TDK.  This spanking of other people's kids was wide spread in the ntcc; and many have testified about it.  Lisa and Pam Norton and Lori Kelley all came out and confirmed much more of the abuse that took place, some of which we have not yet blogged about.

A former ntcc member from the early 70's said that Ashmore started the [gay] foot massage practice in Tillicum; and then Brother Ken shared his testimony of how Ashmore protected two known homosexual predators while trying desperately to force Bro. Ken out of the ntcc in St. Louis.  Now Ashmore, out of nowhere, becomes friends with Donny Ridgeway?  You can believe that it's all coincidence if you want.  But I think it's naive and gullible for people to jump right on board the JRA train without doing their homework.

(Jhn 2:24-25 KJV) (24) But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all [men], (25) And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man. here

Jordans, Ashmores, and NTCC's Family Cover-Ups [Don't Forget DiFrancesco]

If you're family in the ntcc,  you can sin, commit crime, and be a hypocrite.  Don't worry; in ntcc, if you are family, they will cover it up for you.  If you aren't a blood relative of the Big Wigs, just be sure to bring in money and members to build the "organization", and they will cover for you too.  And in the convoluted ntcc family tree it's likely you are family.  You might even be your own grandpa...

On a previous thread Anon. asked,

"A question, is Johnny Jordan the brother of Rev. Jordan?"

DnA say,

Link to story about Johnny Jordan Sex Offender While Working for New Testament Church of God (NTCG) which is now called New Testament Christian Churches of America, [NTCCA] Inc.

To answer your question, yes.

  George Jordan one of
Johnny Dean Jordan's
 NTCC Staffer Brothers 

George Jordan and wife Kathy [Gonzales]:
Convicted child rapist Johnny Dean Jordan is the brother of  George Jordan [wife Kathy].  George has served in many New Testament Christian Churches of America [NTCCA]  roles including Overseer, Director of Servicemen's works, NTCC Board Member, Missionary, and until recently, Pastor of ntcc's church in Phoenix, AZ [Glendale].

Kathy and George Jordan have two daughters.

The Vasectomy Rule:
George had to 'get permission' from R. W. Davis to get George's prior vasectomy reversed so he, like Mikey and Tanya Kekel, could have a kid.  George originally got snipped because Davis always taught it was a sin [for you] to have kids; that, in Davis' words "hinder the work of the borg Gawd".  Unless, you are R.W. Davis, who went out of his way to adopt Tanya Tanya Maxamillia Reynolds Davis Kekel:

Link to Proof Tanya Kekel Was Adopted

OR unless you are Tanya and Mikey (Michal Craig aka M.C.) Kekel, who did NOT get a vasectomy; because, in Tanya's words, "It's different when it's your own kid. [Grant Kekel]"  - shrug - giggle.  Sure.  Right.  Whatever!

Davis is a double-standard hypocrite who deprived hundreds of couples from, IN THE WORDS OF GOD, the "BLESSING" of having children....  ahem

NTCCA Phoenix, AZ:
And until recently, George and Kathy Jordan [with their two daughters] were working for the New Testament Christian Churches of America, Inc. (NTCCA) in Phoenix, AZ [Glendale] but have returned to the Graham, Washington region.

Teen Brides / Married Children in NTCC:
We believe that the Jordan's return to Washington is due in part to the fact they have young daughters - seen in NTCC as potential brides for the many single ministers who are many years older than these potential brides (another topic).

Cyrius Accident:
Another reason for bringing Kathy and George back to ntcc Graham Headquarters Region, is, we feel, to take over the work the Cyrius family was running prior to being severely injured in a freak automobile accident in which their car struck a horse.  Folks in Washington could probably say one way or the other if Kathy and George have taken over this work.  We haven't bothered wasting time trying to look it up on the useless ntcc church locator - ahem.

Ashmores and Jordans Are Relatives:

Kathy [Gonzales]Jordan [husband George the spitting image of Johnny Dean, maybe they are twins?]...

Kathy Jordan is the sister of Helen [Gonzales?] [Duran]  Ashmore, whose husband James Ross Ashmore has held many ntcg / ntcc titles including being a Board Member, President of the Bible School / College / Seminary  Faculty / Staff, Missionary, blah blah blah....  You name it; he's done it.

Ashmores Cover-Up Son's Adultery:

When James Ross Ashmore's wife Helen's son, Jerry aka "Larry" Duran committed adultery and ran off with Rich Hampton's wife Penny, JR / Jim put a gag order on the parents of Jerry's jilted / abandoned wife, Christine, abusing Ashmore's ntcc Board Member office to quell this true story.

Ashmores' Partiality / Hypocrisy:

The Ashmores also disfellowshipped Helen's son Jerry aka "Larry"  and his large family.  (He married Penny; and they have a scabootle of kids), the Ashmores'  own grandkids.

We feel that was very hypocritical since Jim/James Ross Ashmore and his wife Helen have had no problem or qualms or trouble following the serial-adulterer Rodger Wilson Davis.  Why the double standard?  Why does Rodger Wilson Davis get a free pass to be an impenitent adulterer while you disfellowship Helen's own son and your own grandkids?  *Shaking Our Heads*

John Richard DiFrancesco and wife Lorraine [Duran]:

 John Richard DiFrancesco
 NTCG'S Best Kept Secret or
 NTCC'S Best Secret Keeper 
 Secretary Treasurer Smiling 
 All The Way To The Bank $$$ 

John Richard DiFrancesco:  NTCC's Biggest Secret Keeper:

Married to Helen [Duran] Ashmore's other kid, Lorrie [Lorraine Duran] DiFrancesco is the NTCC's best kept secret, or best keeper of secrets,  John Richard DiFrancesco.  Sure, you get your key from him at the NTCC campground; and you've seen him handing out mail in the New Testament Christian Seminary office.  But did you know John R. DiFrancesco has been an officer of the NTCC since it began?

Even back in the St. Louis days when NTCC was NTCG, John R. DiFrancesco's name has been on the list of officers for the organization, registered with the Missouri Secretary of State list of Corporations.  When the Feds come to hand out indictments, will John R. DiFrancesco be listed as a recipient or witness?  Tough to say.  In a sense it makes him a double threat.

As a forever secretary and or treasurer of the ntcg / ntcc, he definitely knows where the cash goes and where the bodies are buried.  With his looks, he's easy to overlook.  But when the reporters want information about the NTCC, they should start with unassuming-appearing John R. DiFrancesco.

Getting back to the question that started it all:

"Is Johnny Jordan the brother of Rev. Jordan?"

 [Timothy] Paul
 Jordan NTCS
 Faculty - Staff 

[Timothy] Paul Jordan and wife Veneta: 
Johnny Dean Jordan IS the brother of Rev. [Timothy] Paul Jordan [wife Veneta] who for years worked as New Testament Christian Churches of America, Inc. Bible School / College / Seminary Staff / Faculty.  Last we knew Timothy and Veneta  did not have any children.  Perhaps Johnny Dean Jordan's story gives some clue as to why they had no children.  Perhaps T. Paul believed Rodger Wilson Davis' false doctrine that [your] "children hinder the work of the borg Lawd!"  Perhaps Timothy Paul, like so many deceived ntcc men, got a vasectomy to please Rodger Wilson Davis.  Perhaps by now Paul and Veneta have children; that may have changed over the years; but we doubt it.

So, in answer to the question that started it all; yeah, Johnny Dean Jordan, convicted child rapist, worker for r w davis, in St. Louis, Missouri, IS the brother of rev jordan and their other brother, Barry, and sister, Anita (deceased).

Johnny's also out of prison now.

Johnny Dean Jordan really didn't do much time in prison in comparison to how long he was sentenced for; but that's how it is in our prison systems.  Again, another topic.  *sigh*  Be sure to check out the stories in those links and read the comments.  There you will learn some really bad stuff goes on in the ntcc, and the board members, like Joseph Henry Olson and Rodger Wilson Davis fail to report the abuse.  In our opinion, ntcc would rather protect the name of their "organization" than protect kids from child abusers, molesters, and rapists!

An Anonymous poster left a link to this video on Jeff's blog.  It so accurately describes the ntcc, especially r w davis, right down to the Cadillac.  At 4:00-4:07 (4 minutes, 0-7 seconds) there is a shot of three offering baskets.  In ntcc there would have to be 7 or more baskets lined up to cover the various collections being taken in each of the five weekly services!!!!!!!$$$$$$$
