Was Jesus "Bitter" When He Called Them Hypocrites?

We've been blogging for almost two years now.  A common theme that we often hear is that we come across as "bitter"; and many will say that we need to "move on" with our lives.  I understand this train of thought; and I am not directing this at anyone in specific as we have heard this many times.  I often have thought that it would be a great thing to just forget about all of this ntcc nonsense and focus on "moving on" with our lives.  It would be very easy to do.  Maintaining this blog is very time consuming; and we definitely get as much criticism as we do compliments.  Taking all of this into consideration, it has been more than just a pastime; it has been a passion.  Why is it a passion? We realized at some point that we were involved in a deceptive cult; and that we threw away a large portion of our lives so that a select few could pro$per.

 Don't be a Good Biscuit
 in the ntcc slop-bucket! 

While there is good and bad in the ntcc, the good is annulled by the bad; and the good is used up to benefit the bad.  There are lots of great people in the ntcc; and there are those that are doing their best within the ntcc system to win souls to Christ.  But when you put everything into proper perspective, they're merely "good biscuits" in the bottom of a gigantic slop bucket.

The purpose of this blog is to eXpose the truth about the ntcc.  This cannot be done by watering down or ignoring the deeds of the ntcc leadership.  Agree or disagree with our approach, but in the end the truth is not a bad thing; and it needs be proclaimed.

It's been shared that our approach will not help anyone; but I must respectfully disagree.  There is a huge contrast between the Bible and the teachings of the ntcc.  Pointing out these differences and eXposing the ntcc for what they do is absolutely necessary.  Chief does this as good as anyone; and we hear the same terms used by many of the folks that participate on his blog.  "You need to get a life;", "You are just bitter;" and "You need to move on with your life!"  We are not trying to save people by preaching some "other gospel" [Gal. 1:8-9] on the blogs.  We are trying to prevent people from wasting years of their lives.  If you ask Chief, or GS/DS, or MDR, or Vic or any of the heavy hitters in the blogosphere you will find that they are very outspoken against the ntcc; and that they have all invested a very large portion of their lives in the ntcc and have paid a price for it.  While we might all have different approaches to blogging, there is a common thread and a common theme:  eXposing ntcc false doctrine to set people free with the truth [John 8:32].

We all leave our mark in cyberspace hoping that what we share will be seen by someone that is struggling the way we once were.  We do what we do in hope that we can help people get out of the ntcc so they can stop being so bitter; and so that they can get on with their lives.  We exist to help people make that transition.

Who is bitter?  Who needs to move on with their lives?  I was totally devoted to the ntcc and all of it's causes without questioning.  It meant little or nothing to me to see an ntcc "pastor" jack someone up in public for doing something that was questionable.  I can't even count the number of people that were run off in this fashion.  We were all a part of this.  Knowing what we know now is what keeps us blogging.  We have covered a lot of ground; and I know that it might seem like we are beating a dead horse; but repetition is a good teacher.  We continue to blog against the bitter ntcc preachers that try to impose upon Christians laws that are not biblical but are instruments of control that place people in bondage and give them a ''holier than thou" attitude.

Bitterness is the ntcc specialty; and most ntcc'rs are in the gall of bitterness.  They are trapped and the 'leaders' do not display any of the fruits that you see in those that followed Christ.

• Where is the love for a lost and dying world?
• Where is the love for the homeless, the poor and the stranger?  
• Where is love for the fatherless and the widow and the orphan?  
• Where is the love for the brethren?
• Where is the love that a shepherd has for his flock that will cause him to leave the 99 and find that one that has gone astray?

Instead, ntcc says:

• "If you don't like the way I preach, there's the door."  Do yourself a favor and take that "out" the first time you hear it!  :o)
• "Don't invite the homeless to church; you don't build a church that way."  They say that because ntcc's 'church' is just a money-making pyramid scheme.  It's not about the souls.
• "I'm not giving my money to the poor.  That's God's money.  They are poor because they want to be poor."  How stupid is that?  Who wants to be poor?  God never treated anyone that way.  The disciples had care for the poor and gave to the poor.  ntcc even twists one of the scriptures about taking a collection for the poor to try and say you have to pay their millionaire board members your tithe.  The problem with that is the tithe never reaches or helps the poor, as God intended.
• "Leave them alone."  Where's the good Shepherd who leaves the 99 to rescue the one?  The hireling flees and leaves the sheep alone.
• "They don't want God."  That's a convenient generic lie with no proof to back it up.  How do they know a man's heart?  They don't.  They just say that to make people afraid of the person who woke up and left the controlling cult in search of a real body of believers who worship GOD in spirit and in truth, not cower to a bully who belittles people from the pulpit for his perverse pleasure.
• "That man loves a house more than God."  Said by the man who has more houses than anyone... hmmn.  davis sounds "jealous".  Ahem.

Do you see what we mean here?  People in ntcc are conditioned and trained to think a certain way. They are taught certain catch phrases and what to think when they hear them.  You have to unplug from the matrix and look at the big picture:

• Who loves God?
• Who prays and teaches an unadulterated gospel?
• Who loves and gives their time to the G.I.s and people?
• Who sacrifices and gives until they have nothing left?

It's the lowly members and front-line ministers who do all this, just to get railed on in the next conference for "not putting it together" or for "driving an oil-puking junker".  On and on.  That's YOUR ntcc.

If you don't take anything with you out of this blog post please take this one thing with you.  As soon as they have used you up and taken everything you can give them, they will throw you away and think nothing of it.  They will seldom mention your name and they will not remember any of the good that you have done.  If your name is mentioned it will be as a proverb to place others in fear;  and you will be remembered as a lost soul that has no hope in eternity.  How do you love someone for decades and then just flip a switch and all of the sudden it means nothing to you that you are the cause for them leaving?

Am I bitter for pointing this out?  Am I bitter and do I need to get on with my life for trying to tell people that this is not what Christianity is all about?  Can you leave a burning building and not warn people that the flames will consume them if they don't get out?  Can you just "move on" and forget your brothers and sisters who are suffering needlessly day after day, week after week, year after year?

The ntcc is so far away from biblical Christianity that they would not know Christ if He sat down right next to them; because He actually loved people.  He ate with publicans and sinners - the 'outcasts' of society.  He wasn't religious and phony.  He didn't act 'holier than thou' as if He was too good to sit and tell a sinner about the God Who loved them so much He would give Christ to die in their place.

The plain and simple truth is, that it's very hard to convince someone that they are in a cult.  That's why it's called brain washing.  They wash the parts of your brain that send up red flags. They get you numb to the constant abuse you see every day.  The way they yell at people and mock them for having yellow teeth or a big ribbon in their hair.  They trample the soul of that woman for whom Christ died, calling her a "Jezebel" because she is wearing makeup while their own wives hypocritically wear makeup;  (foundation is makeup); and those same pious-acting women sit and nod their heads and yell "Amen" and "Preach".  Hypocrites.

Did  you   know Jesus called hypocrites "hypocrites" and serpants and vipers?  Wasn't that bitter of Him?  Shouldn't He have toned things down and let people continue in their soul-sleep, following hypocrites to hell?  NO!  He warned people strongly because He wanted them to see the truth and be saved.  That's our example.  He is the One we follow.  We don't let the ntcc tell us how to think and label people with cult 'thought-stopping' jargon.  We no longer drink the ntcc kook-aid.

If you look at the ntcc's approach, the very first things they do are all done to take your attention away from the obvious and convince you that they alone have the answer for your eternal soul.  First they convince you that other churches are cults and teach false doctrines and that the ntcc alone is the last bastion of truth on the earth.  Then they convince you that your family and friends need to be disowned, "spiritually".  They wont always tell you not to talk to them; but they will convince you not to listen to anything they say; and they will discourage you from being around them.

 Danger, Will Robinson!
 Don't get trapped in a cult!
 Leave the ntcc and serve God! 

Another one of the first things they will try to convince you is that the ntcc and God are the same in purpose.  If you believe that the ntcc alone is of God you will do anything they ask.  If holiness involved dying your nose hairs green you will do it because the ntcc has twisted a scripture and told you that's what God requires.  The self-proclaimed 'man of Gawd' demands absolute power and control without question.
Danger, Will Robinson!  Wake up before they wash away every lick of common sense you once had.  You are not stupid, in fact, most cult members possess above average intelligence and motivation.  That's a proven fact, Jack(ie).

Okay, so now it's too late and you're already brainwashed and you have drunk so much of their Kook-Aid that you don't know right from wrong or up from down.  What do you do?  The only thing we suggest is that you look at the facts.  Read the countless testimonies on Factnet, Chief's blog and even on this blog.  Use the same scrutiny that the ntcc uses against all other religions to convince you that they are right and everyone else is wrong.  Hold the ntcc to the same standards that they hold you to.  Ask your self, "What would Jesus do"?  Or better yet, "What did Jesus do"?

• Did Jesus exclude people from following them because of their attire?  NO.
• Did He run people off because of their outward appearance?  NO.  
• Did he require them to pay tithe to him with an ultimatum of spending eternity in the lake of fire if they didn't?  NO.
• Was he as bitter as the ntcc pastors?  NO.
• Did Jesus openly humiliate people for being fat?  NO.
• Was Jesus prejudice against people for their race or color of skin?  NO.

• Who's bitter?
• Who needs a life?

• Did Jesus obtain million dollar mansions from his followers?  NO.
• Did Jesus require his followers to live in squalor while He adorned himself in Rolex watches and diamond pinky rings?  NO.

• Is Jesus pleased with what it going on in the ntcc?  NO.

• Did Jesus call hypocrites "Hypocrites"?  YES.
• Did the people hear Christ gladly?  YES.

If people in the ntcc would ask themselves these simple questions and open their eyes to this reality, they could save themselves years and decades of heartache.  We feel that the ntcc places people in so much fear that people are unwilling to speak against ntcc.  The people have been so conditioned by ntcc teachings that even when they get out of the organization they continue to enable the ntcc by making excuses for their behavior and justifying their sin.

We understand this; and we don't condemn anyone for this; but we will stick to our guns.  We will warn people as others have warned us.  We feel that if more people would speak out against the ntcc cult and the cruel methods of mind control used by its leadership for personal gain, the more that people would listen and find their freedom.  When more voices speak out against tyranny,  people become aware of what the ntcc is really about.  If the loved ones of ntcc'rs really knew that their sons and daughters were in a cult, they would move heaven and earth to try to help them or to point attention to fact that the ntcc is a cult.

ntcc teaches that leaving their ranks equals leaving God.  That is a lie.  God is real and everywhere.  Leaving ntcc frees you from man-made rules that limit God and His work in your life.  That's why we urge you to leave the ntcc and their false doctrine and twisted scripture.   We invite people to discover this reality and to realize that you can have unhindered access to all of the goodness of a loving God without a bunch of hateful, bitter, angry, control mongering individuals using you for their own gain.

We love the ntccer but we hate the ntcc just like God hates sin but loves the sinner.  Jesus hated the deeds of the Nicolaitans and commended the church of Ephesus for hating their deeds also.   I guess 'bitterness', if that's what you want to call truth-telling, can sometimes be a good thing?

Rules for Fools

Once upon a time there was a salesman turned preacher named R-dub, aka rodger wilson davis. R-dub was part of an organization called Pentecostal Church of God. As the story goes, R-dub had a little problem with the rules, mainly the "Thou shalt not commit adultery rule." Rules are made to be broken; or so we have heard; and R-dub decided to fold up his circus tent and take his show somewhere else. Why should HE have to follow someone else's rules?

So R-dub got a wild hair and decided to pedal his gospel under his own banner.  Why follow somebody else's rules when you can make up your own and keep all the profits?  R-dub is as wise as a serpent and as subtle as one too!  [Gen. 3:1]  He found his own angle and developed a grande sales scheme to become rich beyond his wildest dreams.  To pull this off, he would have to surround himself by only the most loyal suck-ups and yes-men that he could find.  To do this he would have to make up some controlling rules and have a litmus test to see who would be loyal to him and who would follow him with unquestioning loyalty and unwavering servitude.

 Obey the MOG
 OR ELSE !!!
 See Rule #1 

The rules that R-dub would institute would have to be masked by Christianity; and people would have to believe that these rules were not his; but that they came from God above.  In order to pull this scam off, R-dub would first need to pass as a deity himself.  Jesus, the True God, is known as the Son of man.  So R-dub would have to be the next best thing:   the man of God (or MOG).  Not only did davis need to be respected and revered; but he needed the praises and worship of men.  This was a very tall order and to pull it off R-dub created Rules for Fools.

Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane,

1 Tim 1:9(p)

The first and most important rule that was necessary was the "Any thing with two heads is a freak" rule.  It was of utmost importance that everyone understood that R-dub and R-dub alone was in charge.  His voice was to be God's voice.  He was to be our Moses;  and we all were to be 'God's chosen' wandering around in the wilderness for forty years.  For every rule to be followed there was a need for supporting scripture to make that rule seem like it came from God.  The "Obey them that have rule over you" scripture was stretched to its limits and twisted to fit every situation where there was no other scripture that could justify control in the life of a fool.  This is all we were to them:  fools with, in tanya kekel's words, "strong backs, but weak minds".

Another scripture that really came in handy was the "touch not mine anointed" line; which not only was taken out of context, but it was a great tool to instill fear into the hearts of R-dub's followers.  Then there was the "you can not serve two masters at the same time" scripture that was used to ensure nobody else would over rule davis.

Now that R-dub's empire was growing and he had a small group of rag-tag loyalists to follow his every whim and crack of the whip, he needed to create more loyal followers to accomplish his ultimate goal which was:  You guessed it!!!! To bring in Money!!!!  This was accomplished by opening the "School of Rules for Fools" otherwise known as the New Testament Christian Seminary (ntcs), or bible school (bs), or cemetery (oops) seminary, or whatever you prefer to call it.  Now they had a place to indoctrinate or brainwash people into believing that this whole scam was of God.  This was accomplished through three techniques:  Psychological Misdirection, Cognitive Illusions and Mental Forcing.  These three ideas are found in Magic acts and are used in Circuses to get people to think they are witnessing a miracle when they are actually being forced into believing an illusion.

Psychological misdirection involves tricking people into fixating on something big in order to make other details seem less important or trivial.   In the spiritual realm a cult leader will emphasize heaven and hell while he slips in a rule.  Have any of you ever experienced this before?  Let's do a little preaching here to demonstrate this principle:  WHAT SHALL IT PROFIT IF A MAN SHALL GAIN THE WORLD AND LOSE HIS OWN SOUL?  IS IT WORTH ONE NIGHT IN THE SACK WITH A PROSTITUTE TO MISS OUT ON HEAVEN?  IS IT WORTH ONE MORE DRINK? IS IT WORTH TELLING A LIE?  WOULD YOU CHOSE TO LET YOUR FAMILY MAKE THIS DECISION FOR YOU?  SOME PEOPLE WILL ALLOW THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS TO INFLUENCE THEM TO STOP SERVING GOD.  YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO SOUL WINNING EVERY NIGHT; YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO TO PRAYER MEETINGS, YOU DON'T HAVE TO OBEY THE MAN OF GOD TO GO TO HEAVEN. HELL IS FULL OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE LISTENED TO THE ADVICE OF THEIR FAMILIES.  JESUS SAID, "AND EVERYONE THAT HATH FORSAKEN HOUSES, OR BRETHREN, OR SISTERS, OR FATHER, OR MOTHER, OR WIFE, OR CHILDREN, OR LANDS, FOR MY NAMES SAKE SHALL RECEIVE AN HUNDRED FOLD, AND SHALL INHERIT EVERLASTING LIFE.  MAT 19:29  SOME PEOPLE NEED TO CUT THE UMBILICAL CORD.  MAMA AIN'T GOING TO GET YOU TO HEAVEN.  ONLY JESUS CAN GET YOU TO HEAVEN. YOU GOTTA LOVE HIM MORE THAN MAMA; YOU GOTTA LOVE HIM MORE THAN PAPA, YOU GOTTA LOVE HIM MORE THAN SISTER OR BROTHER OR YOUR BEST FRIEND OR YOU WILL SPLIT HELL WIDE OPEN.

Can anyone shout amen?  Let's break this down.  What is actually being accomplished by this preaching?  First of all scriptures are being manipulated to create an illusion.  We are not disputing that God has to be first in your life but come on.  If you take Mat 19:29 to the extreme, you would never be allowed to live in a house or to own property or to communicate with your family members.  In the above preaching excerpt the idea is to take your mind off of the rules and make you fear eternal damnation.  When people hear this kind of preaching, it causes them to do a few things.  It justifies everything they have been doing and takes their mind off of things they should be thinking about.  It causes them to stay so busy soul winning and praying and reading and attending functions and services that they don't realize or question the double standards that are right in front of them:  How the person screaming at them from the pulpit does not 'go soulwinning' and does visit his 'sinner' family.  These pulpit bullies are Pharisees who "say and do not".  They are hypocrites who tell you to live one way, while they live a different way.  They condemn you for even wanting to enjoy the simple things in life like friends and family; yet they take the time to enjoy friends and family.  They tell you not to own a house; yet they own multiple houses.  Could it be they just want to keep you as a renter in their condemned property?  They have used religion to control you for their private benefit.

Cognitive Illusions are then used to convince people that what they are a part of is the 'move of God' and not man.  In the ntcc an illusion is created that God can only be found there.  Every other religion is wrong; and if you ask an ntcc preacher they will tell you that every other doctrine is a fallacy except for theirs.  Just as any other cult will use scriptures to disprove other denominations, it is no different with the ntcc.  In the ntcc you will find that people are moved by emotion.  Emotion is the oil that lubricates the machine.  They are masters at bringing out the emotions in people.  I am no exception.  I am very emotional and I can cry when reading my bible.  The bible is full of compelling stories that can pull on your heart strings and jerk tears right out of you.  When these ntcc preachers or illusionists take stories in the bible that cause you to get emotional, you focus on only those things that you are feeling.  You don't look at anything that is wrong; and you don't ask questions.  An emotional atmosphere is created where people are totally dependent on feelings.  I've seen some crazy stuff take place around the altar at ntcc services; because the preacher created an illusion that fed off of the emotions of people.  A lot of this emotion is sincere and comes from the heart; but it is used to keep people from seeing what is obvious.  They are in a cult and don't know it.

The easiest way to snap out of this emotional roller coaster ride is to follow the money trail.  People refuse to do this in the ntcc because the emotional feelings are what they rely on to justify the investment they have made into the ntcc.  A huge illusion has been created and people can not see what is really going on right before their eyes.

Mental forcing is the final tactic the ntcc magicians use to get you to believe that you are following them of your own free will.  I can't emphasize how important it is for you to believe that you are following the leaders of the ntcc of your own free will.  Mental forcing is a mind control technique that has been used by leaders of countries and religions for years to force people to do what those leaders want the people to do by making the people believe their actions are results of their own decisions; and their choices are made of their own free will.  How many times have you heard the expression, "You are a free moral agent"?  What's really being said here:  'We aren't going to force you to serve God; you have to make that decision for yourself.  However, we are going to imply that serving God our  way is the only  way.  We are going to subtly slip in some control parameters to keep you in line; which will control you for as long as you will allow.'

For the ntcc this is done for money and power.  At the very top of the food chain in the ntcc you will find greed, double standards, and hypocrisy.  To make this possible you have been manipulated and lied to.  You are nothing more than a fool to R-dub and those he has surrounded himself with.  The ntcc relies on your gullibility to keep their illusions in place.  The internet is exposing ntcc for what they really are.  How does it feel to be played as a fool for decades of your life?  It's a betrayal that cuts so deep and hurts so many.  It's not all about Jesus.  It's not about souls or going to heaven.

 Sign Before Reading! 

When I attended the ntcc bible school, students were required to sign a paper stating they would obey all the rules, BEFORE they even know what the rules are that they are promising to obey.  Sounds like rules for fools.  But that is how it is in the ntcc:
It's all about a bunch of rules for a bunch of fools.   Let's isolate these fools from the rest of society so we can take their money. They will think they are giving it freely.

 The fool hath said
 in his heart,
 [There is]
 no God. 

Let's make these fools think they are the only ones going to heaven; so they will think there is no other way to make it to heaven outside of the ntcc.  Let's teach them to 'touch not mine anointed'; so they will never say anything bad about us after we use them up and kick them to the curb.
We will make them feel  worthless if they leave the ntcc. We will get them to believe it is their fault, that they are no longer serving God.  We will make them feel  that without us they are nothing, they have nothing, they will never amount to anything without us; they will depend on us for everything, or they will be fools without us. They will amount to nothing if they leave us; they will be big Zeros in life; and they will have nothing set aside to succeed in life; because we have taken everything from them.

 If You Really
 Love God,
 You Would ... 

We have done this all under the guise of Christianity. We will make them feel like it is a sin to attend a wedding or a funeral for a family member. We will tell them how to dress, what to eat, who to visit, and with whom they may  keep company.

We will keep information from them so they remain fools for our cause.  We can't be transparent with our money; or they will know we are playing them for fools; so we will keep their noses out of our business by making them think  that the money they give actually goes to reach souls for Christ.  We will keep them under subjection by making them feel  like fools if they step out of line.  We will treat them like fools if they question us.  We will humiliate them openly from behind the pulpit if they break our rules.  We are the ntcc leaders and we have come up with an ultimate scheme to make us rich and unaccountable to anyone.   We will use the Gospel of Jesus Christ; and we will seek out and find the fools of this world.  We will prey upon the foolish; and we will become rich doing it.

 See then that ye walk circumspectly,
 not as fools, but as wise, Eph 5:15 

If you think all of this sounds far fetched; and you wish to keep allowing these magicians and salesmen to control every aspect of your life, then it would be so easy for you to write us off as the fools and to continue in the direction that you have been convinced is best for you.  We implore you to take a closer look at what you are involved in.  Common sense and human decency begs you to take a closer look at what choices you have made and what you are getting other people involved in.  You say "If this is crazy, let me stay crazy".  Put aside all the cult jargon and compare what you are doing in the ntcc with the bible and with what Jesus did.  Are you a fool for Christ or a fool for the ntcc?
