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
 Sex Offender Mugshot 

Link to Story "Watch Out, He's Out"

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!

What's Next for NTCC? Warren Jeffs FLDS leader found guilty of child rape: Sentenced To Life in Prison

This is our opinion, based on 22+ years of observing the truth about the ntcc.

ntcc is a fear-based controlling cult that destroys families.

ntcc leadership requires complete unquestioning obedience to themselves.

ntcc leadership controls its members limiting the flow of information.

ntcc isolates its members from non-ntcc family and friends.

ntcc is secretive.

ntcc's top leaders hide behind fences and guards.

ntcc's top leaders give no account of their time or whereabouts.

ntcc's top leaders collect your money but don't show where it goes.

ntcc's top leaders expect you to serve them.

ntcc's leaders expect you to mow their lawn and shine their shoes.

ntcc's leaders expect your wife to clean their mansions.

ntcc expects young teen girls to marry much older men.

ntcc's leaders have people lining up to do every domestic duty for them.

What's next for ntcc?  Video link

 That's NOT natural!
 Just the height difference
 is creepy.  The age difference
 is illegal.  (At a quick glance
 they remind us of the Tiemans.)

Marry 'em young.  Get 'em pregnant.  Lock 'em in.  It's hard to run for freedom.  Even harder if you have kids.

Breaking News:

Warren Jeffs found guilty of child rape.  Video and Story

Cult members seem unaware of verdict.  Link to Salt Lake Tribune Story

Please note:  Warren Jeffs was married to these girls who were under the age of 17 and yet is a "convicted felon".  Good to know some in Texas know that it is wrong to abuse a spiritual office, a "position of trust" and abuse it to manipulate children into "marriages" and rape.

Similarities of ntcc and FLDS (Warren Jeffs' group)

• Leader is guarded
• Leader lives behind a fence
• Leader has complete control
• Leader decides who marries whom
• Leader marries minor
• Other leaders marry minors
• Women have no voice
• Children have no voice
• Information is controlled (no tv / no internet)
• Clothing is controlled
• Members live in communal compounds
• Leader decides who stays and who is run off

The only differences we noted were 1) polygamy and 2) FLDS allowed no newspapers.  Everything else is exactly the same, right down to the white shirts and dresses and teen brides for the cult leaders!

You ntcc-ers should learn a lesson from the FLDS CULT!!!

The only reason ntcc is not EXACTLY like FLDS is because davis would rather have your money than multiple wives and children!

Admit it.  If davis told you it was okay for your daughter to marry when she is only 14, you would allow it.  Hasn't it already happened in ntcc?  But know this, "religious freedom" is not meant to be an umbrella to hide law breaking.  Child protection laws exist to protect kids from the likes of davis and his blind followers.  Think about it.

Warren Jeffs Sentenced To LIFE In Prison for a Minimum of 45 years:
According to an article on CNN.com  Jeffs will serve a minimum of 45 years.  He's 55 now and will become eligible for parole when he is 100:

From CNN:

The jury sentenced Jeffs to life in prison for aggravated sexual assault of a 12-year-old girl and 20 years in prison for the sexual assault of a 15-year-old girl. He must serve at least 35 years of the life sentence and half of the other sentence ... The judge in the case ordered that the sentences be served consecutively.

Jeffs perverted his position as the head of the ... Church ... to "satisfy his own personal appetites and desires," ... .  Link to CNN Article with Videos

Interview with Brett Jeffs who was 5 years old when he was raped by Warren Jeffs, his uncle:
CNN Video:

We believe the same is true for davis and kekel and other high-ranking ntcc officers:  They perverted their position in the church, a position of trust, to "satisfy his own personal appetites and desires"!!

Think about it.  davis and kekel, olson, and other ntcc board members wield entirely too much power with absolutely no accountability.

As a result families are destroyed, faith is destroyed, and finances disappear into ntcc's coffers with no one giving any account.

This is unhealthy, ungodly, and illegal.  It must stop.  Demand retroactive accountability for all that these so-called 'leaders' have gotten away with for far too long!

CHILD RAPIST GETS LIFE IN PRISON!!
HE IS A PEDOPHILE, NOT A PROPHET!

Teen 'brides'?  Get real!  They are supposed to be kids.  LET THEM BE!

Nichelle Tieman's Adultery and Lying Revisited: NOT_Overseer Material

In a previous post titled "The Celibacy Policy" or {Forbidding to Marry, Part Two of Don's Story}, Don shared how Nichelle Tieman repeatedly tried to seduce him to have sex with her, rubbing her breasts and rear end up against him, and coming to Don's room when David Tieman, Sr. was at work, trying to convince Don to "lay with" her.  We also shared how Don reported that years of forced celibacy in the ntcc, brought on by ntcc pastors interfering and  telling women not to talk to Don and telling Don not to talk to women, helped Don give in to this temptation.  Though Nichelle and Don did not have intercourse, there was inappropriate touching going on.  


As Don shared in another thread titled "Homosexual 'Pastors' in the ntcc: Names Included"  {Part Three of Don's Story}, he had already been sexually abused by three homosexual ntcc pastors.  This abuse of authority, coupled with long years of forced celibacy made Nichelle Tieman's forward advances seem appealing at first.  In Don's words:  "At first I welcomed these advances because they made me feel like a man is supposed to feel and that is masculine."  Of course the Holy Ghost continued to convict him; and Don repented of this sin.  After praying for forgiveness, Don called Pop Gaylord and told him of his involvement with Nichelle Tieman, who had also told Don that she loved another brother, Rev. Rice, and if anything happened to her husband, David Tieman Sr., Rice was the one she would marry.  Pop Gaylord called davis and r w got on a plane to visit Colorado Springs.  


From the moment davis got off the plane at the airport, (Ange was there with the Tiemans to pick up rdub at the airport) until the day he left, r w 's demeanor was mean, gruff, condescending and condemning.  davis screamed out the 'message' "What's in YOUR books?", which really was a message for r w davis that he pitchforked onto everyone else without applying it to his own adulterous self.  Hmmn.  


Afterwards, in the kitchen, Nichelle Tieman lied and told r w davis that Ange wanted to go to bible school.  If you know anything about ntcc, you know what a nail in the relationship-coffin that was.  Don was not going to bible school.  So in ntcc this made Ange off-limits to Don.  Not only that; but Don had wanted to go to bible school and unforgiving - but - guilty - himself -  davis had not "allowed it" even though Pop Gaylord gave Don a good recommendation to go. (See "Letters From The Past", {Part One}  for proof of Pop Gaylord's good recommendation, in Mom Gaylord's own handwriting.)  Talk about a twisted diabolical scheme to keep Don living a forced life of celibacy!  Three different ntcc pastors told him or a woman he was talking to they should not be talking!  Then this lie by nichelle tieman, the adulteress!  Forcing the ntcc rule-induced separation of Don and Ange; just because nichelle lied; and davis did not "allow" Don to go to the bible school.  Why?  


Even davis knew that Don is a good brother.  In davis' own words to Don:  "I [rw] never saw the devil fight anyone as hard as he fights you [Don]".  It was also at this time that davis told Don:  "I know what happened with you [Don] and [hummel and  rudy, and the rejected advances from broadnax the homosexual pastors] was NOT MUTUAL [Don did not want homosexuality.]  But, [davis continued] I think THIS [Don's involvement with nichelle tieman] WAS MUTUAL."  Ya think?  Seven years of not even being able to talk to a woman does wear down a brother who does not have the 'gift' of celibacy!  Of course he's going to be tempted even if it was Nichelle Tieman doing the tempting.  


Why did  Nichelle approach a single brother to meet her sexual needs?  At a conference in Missouri Nichelle was telling a room full of women how bad her husband David Tieman Sr. was in bed.  She was doing it in her usual scornful manner of speaking.  If you know Nichelle, you know what we are talking about:  How she makes fun of people constantly, including her own biological brother....  In that room were church members, bible school students, and ministers' wives.  Let them come on here and say that these things we share are true; because they were there and saw and heard it too.  In fact, this incident was the reason why davis, the very next day, stopped "letting" people fellowship in the rooms at the campground!  Additionally, many people have shared how horrible the Tiemans were as overseers because of their rude, sanctimonious, holier-than-thou behavior.

That brings us to the heart of the matter. The Tiemans (Nichelle and David Sr.) can not even keep their own house in order. They should NEVER be set up as Overseers to tell others how to do ANYTHING.


To date Nichelle has never apologized to Don or Ange for her adultery and lying. This indicates her lack of repentance (impenitent).   The bible says to rebuke openly before all, that others may fear. It says to not suffer a brother to sin.  People may not like the truth; but eXposing the truth is the only way to affect repentance. The ntcc would rather lift up Nichelle and David Sr. in pride and could care less that they are impenitent. As one anonymous poster shared on Jeff Collin's blog:

Anonymous said...
Jeff, then why is the woman that this man mentioned by name one of the leaders in ntcc?
I don't know but they are going to churches and preaching around and are seen as leaders for the ntcc, if I'm not mistaken her husband is in the board of ntcc, while real men and women like the John and Rebecca Rodrigues in the phillipines are just put on the back burner so to speak.
Is that what you have to do to belong to the board? Wow and wow!!!

February 09, 2011 3:36 PM

These things ought not to be so.  Nichelle should repent of her adultery and lying; David Sr. should repent of his lack of meeting his wife's sexual needs. Or else David Tieman Sr. should step down from the board of the ntcc and relinquish his Overseer status.  They really are not qualified.  Just ask those who have had to endure the Tiemans coming to town on their broom  in their recreational vehicle.
  

NOT nichelle tieman; but it does
evoke memories of her actions...

The ntcc wants to disregard the bible commandment concerning Overseers found in 1 Tim 3:15: 

For if a man know not how to rule his own house, 

how shall he take care of the church of God?

That's what the bible says, people.  That is what God expects.  So how about it ntcc?  Perhaps the real reason the Tiemans have been allowed to advance is because they are not the only ones with unrepented-of sins.  Perhaps the very top 'leaders' of the ntcc have impenitent hearts and seek others who have skeletons in the closet to share the board room (or bedroom) with them.  Something to think about.  Perhaps the top ntcc leaders themselves do not know how to rule their own houses and as such should not take care of the church of God!


Update:  From the comments section on this post:

Somebody was telling some years back that when the tiemans were in denver pastoring a church, they used to invite the members of thier church to come to their house and enjoy the spa that ms. tieman had found for free in the newspaper. They used to have a blast when the tiemans were pastoring there.
NOw with this info about how ms. tieman behaved with don, it is so telling what were the intentions of nichelle bringing their members to enjoy their "blessing" (spa)

1 NCO 2 Another said...

Yeah, it's as obvious as when nichelle purposely pushed Don into the water from the paddle boat that they were in on a small pond at a park near the ntcc servicemen's home in Colorado Springs (Ft. Carson) on Circle. Drive.

nichelle wanted to flirt and get a good look at Don in his wet clingy clothes. I was there and saw the whole thing. nichelle's oblivious husband david tieman sr. was there too and saw the whole thing. I could not believe my eyes! I could see very plainly that she was flirting with / coming on to Don. Is david tieman sr. that dumb or did he just not care who nichelle was throwing herself at? It really was freaky.

Of course now we all know the rest of the story with Don.

And now thanks to your post we see that this was a pattern of bad behavior exhibited by nichelle tieman. A spa? Seriously? In a HOLINESS preacher's house?

I guess the Lord really does "use that jacuzzi in mysterious ways".

Here's a link to a video that says it all:

{Click here} The Lawd Uses That Jacuzzi (SPA) In Mysterious Ways

Shaking my head. You know, I'm starting to wonder if david tieman sr. is a little gay himself? I mean; come on? How many times does your wife have to throw herself at other men to try and get your attention? Are you gay, dave? Or is nichelle some kind of nymphomaniac that you just can't keep up with her? Or do you both just need some good old fashioned counseling from a real counselor, not davis the blabber mouth who WILL air your private business from the pulpit if it suits him; (as he has boasted that he does do that.... And we've all seen and heard it too!)

I just don't get it; why do you want to continue in sin? Lying to yourselves about who you are and what you want. Why not just go out and be REAL bad girls or bad boys and quit pretending?

Or better still, why not go to the cross and really get a touch of salvation and healing from Jesus Christ the Merciful?

Are you really that proud that you'd rather go to hell for halfway-living in sin?

You don't have to. Repentance is one prayer away. Forgiveness is yours for the asking.

(Don and) Ange

Smorgasborg (note the 'g')

smorgasbord:  From Wiki:

"The Swedish word smörgåsbord consists of the words smörgås (open-faced sandwich) and bord (table). Smörgås in turn consists of the words smör (butter) and gås (goose). Gås literally means goose, but later referred to the small pieces of butter that formed and floated to the surface of cream while it was churned.[3] These pieces reminded the old Swedish peasants of fat geese swimming to the surface.  The small butter pieces were just the right size to be placed and flattened out on bread, so smörgås came to mean buttered bread.

...guests can help themselves from a range of dishes laid out for their choice. ...  In a restaurant, the term refers to a buffet-style table laid out with many small dishes from which, for a fixed amount of money, one is allowed to choose as many as one wishes."

Well, recently an anonymous commentator on Jeff's blog noted this ntcc trend:  "A minister and his family have a teenage daughter that’s about to graduate or shortly after she graduate’s High School; gawd calls this family back to Graham. Within 6 months the daughter is married off to a minister riding the bench at Graham 10 years older than her and life continues in NTCC."  Anonymous comment from "Daddy, Can I Invite A Girl Out To Play"

We note the similarity of the borg practice to the Swedish meal custom called Smorgasbord:

In like fashion we see the ntcc forcing families back to Washington to lay out a feast of open-faced young girls ready to be goosed and ogled by desperate ministers who have been living a forced life of celibacy due to ntcc rules prohibiting normal dating.  These fellows have lowered their standards to where they now think it is normal or okay, or worse, acceptable or desirable to want to hook up with a young teen, a minor, far younger than they are.  This is what so-called 'sinners' call jail-bait, in reference to the illegal nature of the relationship.  But in ntcc it is full-speed-ahead.  These things ought not to be so.  If the brothers would have freedom to choose whomever they want, in or out of ntcc, they would not be lusting after barely pubescent girlies.  It just isn't normal.  And in America it is illegal.  But in ntcc, the drool is flowing over these young girls, the cream of the crop, while the ministers prepare to flatten them into a life of servitude to the borg's rules.

Yes, for the mere price of asking the 'pastor's' permission, and running the gauntlet of fellowship-hall humiliation, these 'guests', the ministers, can 'help themselves ...to a buffet-style table laid out with many small [young] 'dishes'..."   smorgasbord aka smorgasborg!

Seriously, folks, if you plan on being a minister of holiness, you should not be lusting after little girls.  If you are a minister, you should not need someone else's permission to talk to a woman.  And if you are a minister, you should have enough sense to recognize that these young girls are still children, not dating material.  They are souls to be guarded, not exploited!

Repulsive?  Disturbing?  Inciting?  It is the ntcc that creates, nurtures, and approves of this twisted environment.  The board members' families lead the way in these smorgasborg lopsided relationships.  ntcc is a very unhealthy environment.  The Word says to let all things be done decently and in order.  These relationships are indecent and disorderly.

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?

Married Children in the ntcc

What is it with the leadership of the ntcc and their desire to marry off their daughters before they are of age?  I wracked my brain with this question and finally a light bulb came on.

The reason that the ntcc does this is because they know when that girl turns 18 and has the right to make her own decisions, that she is going to "choose the world" over marrying a 28 year old drooling man and being a barefoot-and-barren-in-the-kitchen cult member for the rest of her life.  Who in their right mind would choose that for themselves?

If you look at the mortality rate for kids in the ntcc, it is somewhere in the high 90's percentile.  I'm referring to them leaving the ntcc and becoming dead to their parents and the ntcc leadership.  How many of the ntcc preachers' kids have grown up in that cult and chosen to stay after turning 18?  Does anyone know of any besides the females that are married off in their mid-teens?  There might be some, but very few.  What kind of testimony is it that if these ministers that are involved in God's so called "last move on earth", can not even get their family members into heaven?

The solution for this problem was figured out by none other than rwd who experimented with his own daughter.  Perhaps she was rebelling against the holiness doctrine as she does to this day. The so called Holiness Doctrine was only used as a tool to keep people in line, and to control and manipulate them.  Whatever, the reason, rwd sought him out a man, several years older than his mid teenage daughter to intervene so that his daughter would not jump ship when the time came to make that decision for herself.  If we as adults could not think for ourselves, how much more would a 15 or 16 year old girl not be able to resist the "advice" of rwd or johnson or olson or anyone else in that authoritative position?

Tanya was to be the Incubator for one Grant Kekel, the heir apparent to the throne of the ntcc.  I can only imagine that when Tanya Kekel was in her early teens, rwd sought out and found a man with like morals and unscrupulous character that could marry his daughter a day after her 17th birthday and take over a corrupt organization that would be able to keep the cult intact while transitioning it into compromise.   While Grant Kekel is off at secular college living the life of an ordinary 'sinner', which is what we would have been classified as back in the day if we went to secular college or played football and participated in all the activities that went along with that, rwd and mike kekel are continuing to do what they do best and that is build a financial empire while manipulating people for financial gain.
