A More Direct Approach for You Bible Believing ntcc'rs

Over on Chief's blog there is an individual that goes by the pen-name "D" who has recently started attending the ntcc.  In a lot of ways he or she is a lot like many of us were when we got involved in the cult.  We all pledged our lives to this group and hung on every word spoken from the pulpit.  Not sure how others felt but for me, it was all or nothing.  As Maurice, Diana and others have recently stated on our blog and Chief's blog, we all gave up our families and pledged our undying loyalty to the ntcc.  Unfortunately, when many of us first started out on our cult journey, we didn't have the internet and information was controlled to the extent that we didn't really have a clue what was going on, who had left, where the money was going, why families were being broken apart and what these under-educated, fire and brimstone preaching self-proclaimed apostles were all about.

I can almost sympathize with D if it weren't for all the information that he has at his fingertips.  Another ntcc'r got on and started talking about how that none of us attend church and supposedly all we do is complain about giving money to the church and how we didn't realize how it costs money to keep the heat and lights on and to pay rent, and so on.  To be perfectly honest with you, that was completely lame and ignorant because that person has obviously been in the ntcc for a while and has been drinking their Koolaid for quite some time.  If they had a brain or read even a few blog posts, they would see how much we have given to the ntcc, making us very familiar with the costs.  We were the ones footing those bills, not kekel or any of the other lame so-called full-time "ministers" who never ministered.  Seriously, screaming at  G.I.s to "give 'til it hurts" or telling some poor, unsuspecting, first-time visitor lady that "she is going to split hell wide open for being a Jezebel" because she wears make up, that is NOT ministering.  Minister, by definition, means "servant".  You would be hard pressed to find a single "servant" heart in most ntcc "pastors". If they had one coming into ntcc, it was exploited to serve the board members' pleasure:  Scrub my mansion, wash my million dollar Recreational Vehicle, shine my hand-stiched, over-priced, Italian leather wingtip shoes.  Eventually the wanna-be bible school student gets the lesson pounded into him that the members are there to serve the pastor.  Which is totally opposite of the example set by Jesus, Who was a servant of all.

Following is a video showing disciples who imitate Christ by going out to be servants of all, as they state in the video's description:

I've been trying to be good and have compassion for ntcc'rs; but when someone as ignorant as the anonymous commentator on Chief's blog comes along, it's hard to maintain composure.  It's no secret that the ntcc cult leaders are getting filthy rich.  They don't even hide it any more.  I know that many of you ntcc'rs use the excuse that God is blessing them; but it's really time to wake up, turn on your brain and stop being so gullible.  Chief has broken this down so perfectly that a first grader would be able to understand it; and yet people still find a way to ignore the hypocrisy and double standards. We have tried the sympathetic approach and people just don't respond.  I really want to believe that there are some in the ntcc that are just naive and uninformed; but when you take it all in at face value, a person would have to be an idiot to read these blogs and ignore the warnings.

Now I know that we all were deceived.  Such were some of you, or us.  I get that. But we didn't have the internet; and we didn't have the voices of hundreds of people who have been betrayed to warn us.  I look back on my own life and the things that happened in the churches that I attended. I was totally ignorant and unwilling to listen to reason; and we didn't even have blogs back in those days to educate us on what was really happening.  But people today have no excuse.  The truth is out.

So we are going to tell you straight up what the ntcc is all about.  You can ignore us if that's what you choose to do; or you can dig for the facts before you jump to conclusions about us.  We are not out here trying to convince anyone to give up on God or stop going to church.  While many of you have rushed to judgment about us, by calling us God haters, and pointing your fingers at us as if we were the scum of the earth because some of us don't go to church and don't give large amounts of our money to some huckster, we are only trying to warn you of the danger we have already encountered.

Here's the deal.  The ntcc is a big time cult.  So if you want the truth, continue to read, otherwise you might as well stop reading this and continue on with your phony hypocritical life, thinking that you are right and the rest of the world is wrong.  Let's compare the ntcc to Jesus and the Disciples:

1.  Jesus loved people for who they were and there is no record of Jesus ever asking for a dime from any of His followers.  The ntcc will not accept you as a brother unless you pay 10% of your income to them.  This is the biggest red flag in the ntcc, but you ntcc'rs ignore it and pretend like it's biblical to pay tithe.  Nowhere in the bible does it say that New Testament Christians have to pay 10% of their income to a huckster.  Jesus said, "Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men." Mat. 12:31  The ntcc says:  "All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men, but failure to pay tithe and give in offerings shall not be forgiven".  Try not paying your tithe to them and see how that works for you in the ntcc.

2.  Jesus loved the poor and ministered to them.  The ntcc despises the poor and tells you not to bring the homeless to church.  They say not to give your money to the poor, or any charities.  It says as much in their bylaws.  Tithe gets paid to the pastor and then double tithe gets sent to Graham. They are not Levitical priests; and the Old Testament practice of paying tithe to the Levites is no longer in effect!  None of that is biblical; but then again, many of you ntcc'rs don't really know the bible. Church members are told NOT to give money to the homeless or poor, which the ntcc calls bums.  When Judas took the money bag, the disciples thought that Jesus was instructing him to give to the poor (John 13:29).  Why would they think that if Jesus hadn't ever instructed them to give to the poor?  Many times Jesus spake of giving to the poor or giving to others, but never of paying tithe to some huckster so they could get rich! The ntcc con-men want your money so they can live like the rich and famous.  They don't care about the poor; and they never have.  Open your eyes.

3.  Jesus had mercy on people.  He came to heal and forgive and to love us and the rest of the world.  He forgave the woman at the well with five husbands who was "with" a man she was not married to; and Jesus forgave the woman taken in adultery, who the Pharisees wanted stoned, while the man was nowhere to be found; (it takes two to "tango"!).  Jesus told countless men and women, "Thy sins are forgiven."  But the ntcc will cast you out of their presence if you don't pay your tithe to them.  It's all about money. Open your eyes.  They will cast you out for missing church services. They will cast you out for many so-called offenses.

We rely on God's grace and mercy. We are full of flaws; and we CAN remember the last time we sinned, unlike Davis who stated that he couldn't remember the last time he sinned.  What a lie!  In the ntcc you are expected to pretend like you are perfect and that you are above sin.  They are hypocrites and they ignore reality. If we are perfect it is only in Christ, by His work on the cross and perfect blood. None of those hypocrites are without sin. In the ntcc people look down their noses on other religions and folks who don't believe as ntcc'rs believe. They think their doo doo doesn't stink like everyone else's.  But it does.  And I know, I'm so far from perfect it isn't funny.  But I'll admit that, unlike an ntcc religious huckster who claims to be perfect.

4.  Jesus discouraged adultery and divorce while the ntcc encourages both.  The ntcc has broken up so many marriages and families!  And there are people in the ntcc who have divorced, remarried, divorced again and remarried as many as 4 or 5 times, and that's just the ones we know about! They try to use abandonment as an excuse.  Not so. There are many divorced couples that stayed in the ntcc and both of the vow-breakers remarried within the ntcc to other ntcc partners. We aren't personally condemning divorced people. That's not our point.  The point is that ntcc claims to be a bible believing church while manipulating relationships and dividing families, which violates everything Jesus taught about divorce and adultery.

For me this is a huge problem; because I was denied marriage by this freak-show cult.  You single fellas reading this blog, get ready to be single for the rest of your life, unless you can kiss-up to the board members by getting an office job at the bible school or slave-labor job on their so-called building crew.  Otherwise, the prospect for you getting a lady to marry you are pretty slim.  Oh I know, they keep a few works open overseas so they can recruit new sisters from third world countries.  After all, coming from life in a third world country makes the borg poverty life style look pretty good by comparison. But most women from the States will see that the rules and financial situation in a borg marriage are quite unappealing compared to a life in a normal Christian church environment.  So, Brothers, unless you are willing to break the rules of the ntcc "on the wall" arranged marriages set up, you will be single forever. Truly, if you think it's hard to get preapproved for a loan, wait until you seek borg approval for a wife!  But that's not what God wants.  God said in [Prov 18:22 KJV]  "[Whoso] findeth a wife findeth a good [thing], and obtaineth favour of the LORD."  And Jesus said

[Mat 19:8-12 KJV] 8 He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. 9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except [it be] for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery. 10 His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with [his] wife, it is not good to marry. 11 But he said unto them, All [men] cannot receive this saying, save [they] to whom it is given. 12 For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from [their] mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive [it], let him receive [it].

You see, marriage was meant to be a blessing.  It is an institution created and blessed by God, a holy union between man and woman that is meant to last for life since the two become one.  When the thought of that seemed impossible to the disciples, who protested saying it wasn't good for a man to marry, Jesus set them straight.  He taught them that not everyone can live in celibacy without a wife.  He said some men are forced into it, being made eunuchs by others.  Some have that gift from God, that they are able to receive celibacy. But not all.  God never intended for you to be single forever just because some religious con man tells you it has to be that way.  That's not God's plan for you.  And if you do find a wife, watch out.  If at any time she sees what these hucksters are all about, the borg will send tanya kekel or verna davis or even joe olson to try and break up your happy little marriage that God said should last a lifetime!  It's been done so much in the ntcc, it's a crying shame.  Divorce on demand.  Remarrying without biblical grounds for divorce.  It all adds up to fornication and adultery on demand sponsored by your ntcc!  And let's not even say what effect this has on your children, whom kekel described as "filthy evil children who throw fits in the cookie aisle of the grocery store".

 Another ntcc couple is split up by man made doctrine
 (adding to the Word) and their kids are
 caught in the cult-induced tug of war! 

A brief pause before we go on...... Is any of this sinking in?  Are you going to continue to claim innocence after reading all of this.  It's time to wake up and smell the coffee. There is no common sense in following double standard hypocrites.  You might as well tear the bible up, get rid of all of Jesus' teachings, fold up the banner of Christianity, stop playing church and die and go to hell in style. That's what they will say to you if you don't fall in line with all of their man made doctrine.

5.  Jesus never told people how to dress, but he told them how not to dress.  He said: Luk 20:46 KJV "Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts"  Mat 23:5 KJV "But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments"  In other words the outward appearance was much more important than the inward.  The ntcc used to preach holiness or hell and they would condemn people to hell for not dressing a certain way. This was all done in pride, and to make ntcc members feel superior to everyone else. Jesus never did this. Read your bibles.  Wake up.  Open your eyes.

6.  Jesus never controlled people's relationships, like the ntcc does.  The ntcc destroyed my relationship with Ange and there are a whole slew of testimonies from former ntcc cult members who have experienced the same sort of thing.  Stop making excuses for your cult leaders.  They control and manipulate relationships. They match-make and interfere with the natural order of peoples' lives.  I love my wife and we missed out on the best years of our youth together because some manipulative jerks and jerkstresses made decisions for us that forever changed our lives.  Read the blogs and you will find that this happened over and over again.

7.  Jesus never required his disciples to keep a bunch of rules or to live by the letter of the law.  They picked corn on the Sabbath day, they ate with unwashed hands, they didn't fast and walk around with a sad countenance like the ntcc-type religious Pharisees.  The ntcc teaches you not to eat french fries with your fingers.  They strain at gnats and swallow camels, while pointing their fingers at those who just want to live their lives as Christians.

8.  Jesus wasn't a double standard hypocrite.  He didn't tell the disciples to live one way while he lived another way.  He didn't allow the Pharisees to get away with hypocrisy and he's not going to allow the ntcc cult leaders to get away with it either.  Do you think Jesus really approves of Kekel collecting tithe and getting rich while people are depriving their own families and children of the basic necessities of life?

9.  Jesus never told people they had to attend church in a building to be saved.  The ntcc teaches that if you miss one of their 5 church services per week or any of their mandatory functions, you couldn't possibly love God and you will miss the rapture. It's become a litmus test to ntcc'rs.  They question our faith because some of us don't attend a church every week and this is yet another unforgivable sin to them.  If you don't faithfully follow some religious huckster and give them a bunch of your money, you couldn't possibly be saved.  Where does it say that in the bible?  These days it's all about money and most of the preachers on the face of the earth are in the business of accumulating money, real estate and buildings.  They couldn't possibly further the gospel unless they have people willing to support their programs and buy their church edifices. Supporting these hucksters is not what the author of Hebrews had in mind when he said: "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some [is]; but exhorting [one another]: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching." Heb 10:25 KJV

Is the ntcc really what serving God is all about? The answer is no.  Jesus doesn't approve of hypocrisy.  The ntcc has gotten away with too many atrocities; and it's because of naive and gullible people or people who refuse to acknowledge the truth that the hucksters continue to thrive. ntcc has amassed an multi-million dollar real estate empire; and they have made themselves rich off of the suffering of others.  They criticize and mock you for wasting your money on frivolous and wasteful endeavors like paper towels or paper napkins, while they live like kings and laugh at you for your stupidity. You have to wake up.  They are treating you like a bunch of idiots because they know they can threaten you with hell; and you'll do anything they say.  This has gone on for decades; and the only reason it keeps going on is because you let it.

The sad thing about it is that 99% of you ntcc'rs will not stay in the ntcc for the rest of your lives. When you are no longer useful to them, you will be kicked to the curb. You think that you are one of the chosen few; but as long as you follow this cult you are enabling the ntcc to profit off of your ignorance.  You are not chosen because of your great faith, or your undying loyalty.  You are chosen because you are a sucker; and you will continue to give everything you have to them.  It's all about money and numbers.  Davis has said this over and over.  You are being used.  The joke is on you.  If you don't wake up now, you will waste years and perhaps decades of your life.  Just sit back and watch as guys you were in the Army with get married, raise a family, buy a house, retire with a military pension and start a civilian career.  Watch as they go off to war and come home as heroes, and see their kids get married and raise grandkids.  Just let everyone else and all of God's intended blessings for you pass you by as you shine the shoes of people who despise and use you.

But don't listen to us. We are just bitter exers.  According to your cult leaders our only purpose is to hate God and keep you out of heaven.  But who is getting rich off of you?  Not us. Wake up and smell the coffee. Open your eyes. Use your brain.  Nobody is trying to influence you to leave God. We just want you to find your way out of the cult and stop enabling your cult leaders.

A true church leader doesn't want 10% of your money and neither does Jesus. A true church leader doesn't run people off because they won't conform to a bunch of rules that aren't even in the bible.  The ntcc is not a bible believing church and we blog to expose them.  They can't defend their actions and they make no attempt to be transparent about any of the heresies they preach.

The Borg Leaders and their Wives Idolize this Religious Grifter

We can talk about this stuff until we are blue in the face; and we have. You can read the volumes of testimonies on all of the blogs. The fact is that the ntcc is being run by a bunch of hucksters.  Actually a better name for them is grifters.  That's what they really are.  A grifter is a con artist: someone who swindles people out of money through fraud. If there's one type of person you don't want to trust, it's a grifter: someone who cheats others out of money. Grifters are also known as chiselers, defrauders, gougers, scammers, swindlers, and flim-flam men. Selling a bridge and starting a Ponzi scheme are things a grifter might do. The difference between a grifter and a thief is a grifter tricks you out of money through lies, while the thief takes it by force. The end result is the same. link
The ntcc leaders are grifters of the worst sort and in the end if you choose to follow them, you are the one who will get burned.

Will a Man Rob God?

Did Jesus Tithe?  Tithe Instruction Cartoon Video


A question that was asked back in the book of Malachi deserves to be answered today. Will a Man Rob God?  Many have translated this scripture to mean, "Will a man not pay his tithe".  If you are in the ntcc and you do not pay your tithe, you are a God Robber, according to everyone who steps behind an ntcc pulpit.  NTCC preachers are all taught to say, "All Christians pay tithe and give in offerings" every time a collection plate makes its rounds in an ntcc church.  We've delved into the Old Testament teachings on tithe and pointed out a few facts about tithe that the ntcc will not expound upon:

1.  Abraham gave a tenth of his spoils of war (not a tenth of everything he owned) to Melchisedec out of his own free will, not because he was commanded to, years before the law of Moses came into existence.

2.  When the law of Moses was passed down to the Children of Israel, every tribe was given an inheritance except for the Levites.  They were selected out of all the tribes to perform the service of the tabernacle and execute the laws of Moses pertaining to sacrifices.  Tithe was paid once every three years; and it pertained to agricultural gifts, not 10% of everything they owned or every wage they made before anyone else got their greasy hands on it.

3.  In the Old Testament tithe money went towards supporting the Son's of Aaron and the priesthood; whose lot was to perform the service of the Levitical order.  The Priests had no inheritance - no land. The Agricultural tithe was to feed the Levites, not to get them rich.  Tithes were also given to the Stranger, the Widow, and the fatherless according to Dueteronomy 26:12.  When is the last time you saw the ntcc GIVE anything to the Stranger, the Widow or the Fatherless?

4.  The 'God Robber' doctrine was instituted by the ntcc in an attempt to bring guilt into a person's life if they don't practice giving 10% cash before any deductions.  10% cash before deductions is not taught anywhere in the entire bible.  The ntcc used to put signs up near the doors of the main sanctuary in Graham with a picture of a gun pointing at them and the question, "Will a Man Rob God"?

 Will a Preacher Man Rob God?
 Where does your tithe money go?
How do you know?
 Can you look at the church books?
 Why not?  What are they hiding?
 Does your tithe support the Stranger,
 the Widow and the Orphan?
 Or does your leader build himself
 another mansion and add another
 luxury car to his collection?
 Is that what Jesus did? 

What does the ntcc say about tithe in the New Testament?  I'm glad you asked.  The word "Tithe" is mentioned twice in the New Testament.  In Mathew 23:23 and Luke 11:42; and in both instances we find Jesus rebuking the Pharisees for making a big show out of it, while neglecting love and judgment.  Keep in mind that the law of Moses was not fulfilled until Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice on the cross.  So, as Jews, THEY were required to keep the law; but they missed the heart of God - showing love.  But we are no longer under the law and therefore not required to pay tithe.  "Well," the ntcc-indoctrinee says, "tithe came before the law, when Abraham paid."  No. (1) Abraham freely gave a tenth of the spoils of war. (2) Not only that, but other things happened before the law, that we no longer do.  Animal sacrifice was instituted in the Garden of Eden when God clothed Adam and Eve with animal skins to cover their sins. Heb 9;22  But we no longer sacrifice animals.   You aren't going to go out and kill a goat every time you sin, are you?  Don't let ntcc false doctrine dupe you with guilt trips and catch phrases like the following video uses. Search the scripture.

This Sunday (yeah) **Of course, in ntcc it would say "This PAYday (or else)"**

We also find the word "tithes" written a few times in the New Testament.  Luke 18:12 is about another Pharisee who brags about paying tithes: "I fast twice a week, I give tithes of all that I possess".  But we find that the Publican who said: "Be merciful to me, a sinner" was justified and not the ntcc hypocrite, (or Pharissee), whatever you want to call him.

Unlike Jesus, Who seldom used the words tithe or tithes, NTCC harps on tithe in every service. Unfortunately, the church world is full of preachers willing to twist scriptures in order to get people to cough up their cash into the church coffers; where it disappears into a black hole of no accountability.  Just like the NTCC, these religious hucksters fleece their flock ; and they do it with style, and in a manner that targets different audience groups like farmers, rappers, young folks, and even disco dancers. We have dispersed a couple more of these instructional videos throughout the remainder of the post in order to break up the text and provide comic relief.  But ask yourself, Are they advocating paying tithe?  To whom?  What for?  And, please, remember the very first cartoon video's instruction that teaches us to ask for scriptural proof of any doctrine.

Redeeming The Bad Tithe Rap (Accountants) Video

Highlights:
This video showcases mad rhyming skills and some of the funniest dance sequences with "The Sprinkler", "New Kid", "Hammer-Time" and others.  But it's mostly catch phrases, lots of repetitious chanting, some pretty lights and someone else's rap song (Flo Rida's "Low").  Advertisers use these same techniques to sell things.  They package them and call them "Jingles" or "Commercials".  This video is no different.  It is a 4 minute ad that is 'selling' you on the need to pay your tithe, and it is prefaced by a 30 second introduction by the preacher interacting with the performers like a hype man building up a rapper or a Barker introducing the next carnival act.  However, there are no New Testament Scriptures that support what these men are teaching by using a catchy tune, repetition, and showmanship.  Keep your eyes on Jesus; He is The Word.

Back to our search for tithe in the New Testament:  We find the word "Tithes" written 4 times in Hebrews 7:5-9, where the Bible talks about the account again of Abraham paying a tenth of the spoils to Melchisedec.  Nowhere in Hebrews 7 will you find a commandment carried forward to New Testament Christians mandating them to pay 10% tithe cash to their churches or pastors.  In verse 11 you will find a question:

"If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron"?

If the law of Moses or any of the sacrifices, feasts or tithing rules brought about perfection, why would there be a need for an eternal priesthood in which Jesus would spring up out of the tribe of Judah?  And if He required tithe of His followers, why would He not mention tithe as a mandate one time in the New Testament?  The only time He did that was when He was speaking to Pharisees who were still bound by the law of Moses to pay tithes.  We are not bound by the law of Moses.

The following video had us really laughing.  It's artistic and plays on words and emotions.  There are also a couple of scenes that are just wrong, even in a joking context.  Unfortunately, churches today are using this stuff to fill their coffers; but that is not supported by the New Testament.  God never intended tithe to be a way for New Testament 'leaders' to get rich off His people. Tithe has always been about caring for the poor, the widow, and the fatherless.

Tithe Rap (Farm Version) Video


The ntcc uses a lot of other scriptures that have to do with giving offerings; and they attempt to apply those scriptures to mandatory tithing.  But there just is no link to voluntary giving or even taking care of the Pastor with carnal gifts that can be directly linked to tithing.  We have never said or advocated anything against giving freely; but when you get a bunch of scamming and conniving con artists telling you that you are a God robber if you don't pay tithe, and that you will die and go to hell for not paying it, you are following a false doctrine.  Even the offering that Paul took up in Corinthians 16 which the ntcc uses in their false doctrine bylaws has nothing to do with tithe.  It is an offering for the poor saints in Jerusalem, not for a new Recreational Donkey for Paul to ride on.

We have condensed this as much as possible just to give everyone a refresher course on tithing.  If it's not in the bible and it's being taught as scripture, then it's called "FALSE DOCTRINE".  In the ntcc there is a whole lot of emphasis on paying tithe; but very little is said about where your tithe dollars go.  Why do you think that the ntcc is so secretive about their finances?  None of you know where your money goes.  None of you know where your church members' money goes.  If you are a pastor in the ntcc, House of Pancakes, Oops I meant to say House of Prayer, (Denis' Organization), Ashmore's Jesus Revival Ministries and you are being taught to pay tithe you are being taught a false doctrine  plain and simple.  You are being lied to and conned out of ten percent of your earnings.  What you might find even more alarming is where your money is going.  Don't you have a right to know?  Why would anyone get mad if you asked to see the church books so you could know for sure where your money is going?  If you are a pastor in the ntcc and you are teaching your members to pay tithe and calling them God Robbers, or sinners if they don't, or if you are implying in any way that they are going to go to hell if they don't pay it, or if they don't pay it on time, you are a false prophet and a teacher of false doctrine.

If you want to know where the majority of your tithe dollars are going take a look at the mansions at the top of this blog, and take a look at all the $20 bills that are floating around in the blog background (in the Web Version View).  That's your money.  Shouldn't you know how it is spent?  Wait for that quarter million dollar Recreational Vehicle (RV) to roll up in your driveway on your dime.  Ask the Overseer where the money came from to pay for him to gallivant across the United States on an all expense paid vacation.  If you don't give enough in the offerings, he'll leave right in the middle of revival and find another ntcc brain washing center that will give him and his wife enough money to get to the next place, pay for his RV and go shopping along the way.   Go ask Kekel to let you take a look in his garage at the nice cars he owns or to take a tour of his mansion.  That's where your money is going.  You have heard the Testimonies.  The works overseas are struggling and expected to not only pay all of their own expenses but to catch up all of the money that the ntcc leaders say the last preacher owed them.  The funny thing is, you don't know that for sure.  There is no proof. They don't take you at your word. Why should you take them at their word?  Let's crack open those books. Let's see what the previous Pastor has to say for himself.  Don't just blindly accept Kekel's or anyone else's word for it.  Let's see that proof they're always talking about.

Doctrinal Statement XV - Tithes in Your NTCC

Another ntcc minister gets his
'green' off your tithe dollars!

While reading the ntcc's doctrinal statement we find that the very last statement is labeled XV - Tithes    This is what it states word for word:

We recognize the scriptural duty of all people, as well as ministers, to pay tithes unto the Lord (Hebrews 7:8).  Tithes should be used for the support of the active ministry and for the propagation of the Gospel and work of the Lord, and are not to be given to charity or used for other purposes.  (Malachi 3:7-11) (Hebrews 7:2) (1 Corinthians 9:7-11; 16:2)

This one paragraph sums up the ntcc in a nutshell.  It openly displays the hypocrisy of the ntcc leadership, their ability to twist scriptures and never be questioned; and it shows that they are liars and con-artists.  How many people have read this doctrinal statement and never looked up or studied the scriptures? Shame on you, ntcc-ers for going with the flow and believing this hogwash.

Heb 7:8 "And here men that die receive tithes, but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth."

Does this scripture in any way imply that God requires men in the New Testament to receive tithes?  This passage refers to Melchisedec receiving tithes of Abraham; (Which were never demanded or asked for), but given freely.  Now the ntcc has always preached that because Abraham paid tithes before the law, this somehow means that tithe is carried over into the New Testament.  Abraham also gave blood sacrifices, but why is it that this sacrament wasn't carried over into the New Testament?  The ntcc translates "men that die" receiving tithes to mean that they are commanded to receive tithes?  Why would Jesus, Paul and the apostles be so specific about sins, and be so vague about paying tithes?  Why is it that the New Testament never listed "NOT PAYING TITHE" as a sin; but the ntcc preaches that if you don't pay tithe you will go to hell?  It's not a mystery or a hidden secret.  The author of Hebrews went on to say in Heb 7:18 "For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof."  The ntcc leaders know this and they purposely have twisted the scripture to become rich.  We all know that the law was done away with or fulfilled by the sacrifice of the Son of God.

The ntcc doctrinal statement says: "We recognize the scriptural duty of all people, as well as ministers, to pay tithes unto the Lord."

Will somebody please show us where the New Testament says that our scriptural duty is to pay tithe?  And to whom do Davis and Kekel pay tithe?  While you are at it, can you show us anywhere in the bible where tithe is defined as 10% cash on the barrel head before Uncle Sam gets his? There are hundreds of scriptures that speak of tithe in both Testaments of the Bible.  I have a challenge for any of you ntcc-ers out there.  Think for yourselves just this one time.  Study this out for yourselves.  Don't ask your Pastor to explain it to you.  You preachers that have dedicated decades of your lives to the ministry, stop towing the company line and think for yourselves just this once.

"Bless The Man Of Gawd" = "It Is Corban, That is to say, a gift.":

When tithe was discussed under the law it is for the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow.  Why does ntcc try to claim a Levitical right while forsaking the stranger, the fatherless, and the widows to fend for themselves?  The ntcc's top leaders are just like the hypocrites Jesus denounced as recorded in the gospel of Mark, chapter 7, especially:

Mar 7:9  And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

Mar 7:10  For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:

Mar 7:11  But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, [It is] Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; [he shall be free].

Mar 7:12  And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;

Mar 7:13  Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

The ntcc hirelings are money-grubbers who teach that men should break the commandment of God to honor their parents - literally to give them money, just so that those hirelings can get their own grubby mittens on your money.

They are USING Christ to gain profit and making the word of God of none effect through tradition they deliver.  If tithe, as set up by God, was for the Levite AND the stranger AND the fatherless AND the widow, why does ntcc only teach about tithe being THEIR income, but neglect THE STRANGER, THE FATHERLESS  and THE WIDOW??? (Please take a moment to read the verses attached to those words by clicking the fatherless).  ntcc wants your cash, plain and simple.  You don't think so?  Well, just walk up to your ntcc 'pastor' hireling and announce that you are going to pay your tithe to an orphanage, to a refugee immigrant, or to your mom, a widow and watch them blow their stacks like Mt. Vesuvius erupting.  Or better yet, just obey God without announcing anything to the hirelings.  If they ask about your missing tithe money, just point them to this article.  :-)

Family First:
Did you know that as a Christian your first duty is not to fund the church?  Your first duty is to your family.  Look at what God says:

1Ti 5:3  Honour widows that are widows indeed.

1Ti 5:4  But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to shew piety at home, and to requite their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God.

The ntcc adds to the scripture and puts their money-grubbing hirelings first in line for your cash. But God says to honour widows, learn first to shew piety at home, requite parents, provide for your own, specially those of your own house.  If you don't God says you're worse than an infidel:

1Ti 5:8  But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

The ntcc's top leaders are no different than the hypocrites Jesus rebuked for calling their money-grubbing gifts "Corban", [or in ntcc-speak "blessing the man of Gawd"] when all they wanted was a profit off of the name of Christ!

Why is it that tithe is so important to the ntcc? Hmmn?   Is it really supposed to be emphasized in every church service?  Did you ever see Jesus demanding tithe each time He went to the synagogue or temple?  All accounts of tithe in the bible refer to agricultural gifts and the purpose of it was to support the Levitical Priesthood which had no inheritance of their own.  Now this has been covered many times on the blogs; and there has not been one ntcc-er that can justify preaching that people will go to hell if they don't pay their tithes.  So what are we to conclude?  What is the purpose in the ntcc for receiving tithes?  Let's continue.  This is what the ntcc doctrinal statement has to say about it:

Tithes should be used for the support of the active ministry and for the propagation of the Gospel and work of the Lord, and are not to be given to charity or used for other purposes.  (Malachi 3:7-11) (Hebrews 7:2) (1 Corinthians 9:7-11; 16:2)

 Oxen treading 'corn' or grain. 

Piled higher and deeper, the ntcc claims that the tithes "should be used" for the support of the active ministry and for the propagation of the Gospel.  How does living in million dollar mansions propagate the Gospel?  How does sending your son to an expensive private college-prep(atory) school propagate the Gospel?  How does driving around in a car that cost a quarter of a million dollars propagate the Gospel?  How is buying expensive and useless furniture to adorn the Kekels' mansion supporting the active ministry?  Even if God did require us to pay tithe, do you think that He would have us sacrifice what little money we make so that the rich hirelings in the ntcc could have every amenity imaginable while we are expected to live off of $40 worth of groceries per week?  This is absurd; and you ntcc-ers are naive and gullible and borderline mentally dysfunctional if you think this is what God's plan for your future involves.  The ntcc is a dying organization; and the only reason that they still exist is that they have compromised so many of the standards that they once used to run people off.  They are liars and swindlers, cheating you out of your money.  Let's look at the three remaining scriptures that the ntcc doctrinal statement has twisted and taken out of context.

Malachi 3:7-11  These are the verses that the ntcc leadership uses to classify people as "God robbers".  The prophet Malachi spoke of the children of Israel not living according to the law.  He spoke of a storehouse in which people would bring their tithes which were agricultural offerings to support the Levitical priesthood.  The ntcc would also like to have a "storehouse"; but they want it to be full of your dollar bills.  Their storehouse is a vault or an (offshore?) bank account from which they can write unlimited checks for whatever purpose they desire.  We were total idiots for listening to these religious hucksters.  In the grand scheme of things, God rebuked the people in the Old Testament very little for not paying tithe in total contrast to the ntcc; which requires their ministers to demand tithe and offering in every church service.  Wake up! ntcc's lust for tithe is only all about the money for them. It always has been, and always will be.

Hebrews 7:2 "To whom Abraham gave a tenth part of all"...   It's interesting how this scripture found its way into the ntcc's propaganda ... oops, I mean, 'doctrinal statement'.  They want to make sure you give a tenth of all.  The ntcc really only wants a tenth of all your money.  They don't want you to bring them any fruits or vegetables.  They don't want any Cattle as Abraham brought.  They want to buy themselves Cadillacs with cash only.  They want ONLY your money:  CASH ONLY.  That means No receipts and No paper trail.  Oh Boy!    "All Christians pay tithes and give in offerings."  is the standardized ntcc mantra; that is required to be said at least one time in every church service.  If a ntcc preacher does that, soon he will believe it; and his congregation will believe it; and everything will be just wonderful for the Graham, WA hypocrite phat cats  who get the private benefit from this so-called non-profit CORPORATION receiving its membership dues under the guise of 'religious offerings' and 'tithes'.  Okay, let's move on to the next scripture that the ntcc chose to justify their greediness.

1 Corinthians 9:7-11  It's alright to follow along in your bibles and verify these verses.  We know the ntcc doesn't want you to bring your bible to church; but it's safe to open it now.  We won't tell on you or blast you from the pulpit for being noble like the folks in Berea.  You won't get jacked up here; and we don't want to drag this out any longer than necessary.  We trust you to read it for yourselves.

ntcc hirelings want you to think
of them as oxen treading corn;
we say that's a lot of bull! ;-)

In this bible reading Paul mentions not to muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn.  Meaning that the ox is doing the work; and if you allow him to munch down on some of the corn, he might be a happier ox and will undoubtedly be strengthened to carry out his mission.  It doesn't say anything about taking up an offering for the ox so he can wear a Rolex watch or live in a million dollar barn.  Paul said in 1 Cor 9:11:  "If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?"  Has anyone found a hidden reference in this scripture that says anything about 10% Cash?  In the next verse (1 Cor 9:12, which was so conveniently left out of the ntcc doctrinal statement) we find that Paul, according to the ntcc, has condemned a lot of people to hell; because he states:  "Never the less, we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the Gospel of Christ."  And then he goes on to repeat this a second time in 1 Cor 9:15:  "But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for it were better for me to die, then that any man should make my glorying void."  Maybe Paul knew that riches corrupt men and wanted to leave an example of how ministers really should conduct themselves.

ntcc wants to claim apostolic
status; let them follow the
fine example of the Apostle
Paul who willingly put the
 muzzle on himself so as
not to hinder the gospel!

ntcc also claims:  Tithes ... are not to be given to charity or used for other purposes. That is in direct violation of God's command that tithes are to be used not just for the Levite, but also for the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow.  But that isn't how ntcc, a self-proclaimed "business" and "organization" operates.  So I guess that if you were to give 10% of your income to a family whose house burnt down, you would be disobeying God [according to ntcc] who intended for you to give your money to someone like Kekel or Davis who is going to use it to buy themselves more expensive and useless things to add to their collections. Your tithe belongs to the fat ntcc Oxen that tread out the corn, and they really tread hard so keep them green backs coming in. Since they are laying prostrate before God, begging God for messages and sacrificing for you to hear the Gospel preached, you need to support them full time.

They are not going to get a job like Paul. Could you imagine Davis making tents? He has no problem being a burden to the work of the Lord and neither does Kekel. Could you imagine what kind of organization the ntcc could have been if they actually used tithe dollars to reach and help people? Do you think Davis and Kekel really do a lot of praying: "Oh God please burden their hearts to give more money so I can finance an upgrade to a more expensive mansion"! [Click to see pics of ntcc mansions]  I mean what could they possibly pray about: "Oh God, please forgive me for taking advantage of the brethren that are struggling to get by, and for demanding that they give us money so we can live high on the hog while they struggle to pay rent and buy groceries"! "You know I need that new rifle for my collection, or a new Car, oh God".

Let's look at the last twisted scripture used in the ntcc's indoctrinating statement.

1 Corinthians 16:2  "Upon the first day of the week, let everyone lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come."

Wow!  No gatherings?  No offerings in a church service?  Are you kidding me?  I can't recall one church service that I've ever been to where there have not been any offerings taken up.  Now what does the ntcc actually glean from this scripture?  They assume that because Paul said, "Upon the first day of the week" that this is the closest thing that they can find to use as a model for paying tithe; and it is also a scripture that is thrown around a lot to pay for the diesel fuel in their Recreational Vehicles prior to the rich snobbish Pharisees 'blessing' you with their presence to preach a revival or even one service.

It's Vacation Time Again, Honey!  So
Let's Fire Up Our Recreational Vehicle!
Those Dumb G.I.s are gonna waste
their money anyway; let's get some!

ntcc used to take up hundreds of dollars in offerings prior to the Board Member's arrival so that the BMs  wouldn't have to do the dirty work themselves.  All Davis had to do was mention this scripture during conference and any Board Member would immediately have an all expense paid vacation across the United States or overseas, compliments of, in davis' words "Dumb G.I.s who are only going to waste their money anyway".  Wisdom crieth without, she uttereth her voice in the streets!  How long will ye simple ones love simplicity?  Turn you at my reproof... taken from Proverbs 1:20-23

What will it take for you to learn?  Will you be a "dumb G.I."?  Or will you turn at wisdom's reproof?  How many decades of your life will you have to spend, trapped in a cult that only cares about how they can use and abuse you?  How many more thousands of dollars will you have to spend to 'earn' their love and respect?  [If you have to 'earn' it, that 'love' is not real love.  It is conditional and phony flattery, like davis telling you "I appreciate you."  That is so lame.  What does that really mean?  So long and thanks for all the cash, sucka?]  True love is a gift.  It cannot be earned.  [Please pay attention to the images of diamond [pinky] rings and plates of cash and the sports car in the following video.  It is so fitting, truly evocative of the ntcc system.]

Some of you have given tens of thousands of dollars; and there are some that have given hundreds of thousands of dollars to these con-artists.  Your money is not going towards souls.  The ntcc has decreased in size, compromised and consolidated to survive.  People have left by the scores, not because God could not keep them; but because they realized they were being used by a bunch of hypocrites.  But ntcc claims that God has changed His mind about the things that for years were their cornerstone doctrines; and now they can compromise or forsake what they used to teach as heaven or hell issues.  All of the sudden in ntcc it's okay to watch the devil-vision TV and to surf the sinner-net internet.  Why did God change His mind on these things?  The money supply was being choked off as people woke up and left the ntcc!

When will you wake up?  Can you see their false doctrine?  How about the ntcc disregarding the Word of God concerning divorce and remarriage?  In ntcc it's always been okay to divorce and remarry for reasons other than fornication or adultery.  But that is not God's will.  People, please read your bibles and rightly divide the Word of Truth.  Then ask yourself, do you fear man or God?  Will you disobey God to follow a man's false doctrines?  Or will you see that man as a false teacher, a false prophet, and be unafraid to leave him alone.  You won't change him.  But you don't have to partake of his sins.  Just leave them alone and follow God.  You will be glad you did!

Pimp Davis' Cadillac Habit

Many corporations purchase vehicles for Board Members as a "Business Expense".   Here's what we want to know:

• Does the NTCC purchase vehicles for Board Members?
• If not, where did the money come from?
• If so, then what happens when the vehicle is replaced?
• Who gets the cash when these vehicles are later sold?
• What is the purpose of this excessive expenditure?

For all that [is] in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.  1 John 2:16

 Who's Your Pimp Daddy? 

If NTCC buys the Cadilllacs for Davis, who gets the money when Davis sells that Cadillac so the NTCC can buy him another new one?

Remember, Davis boasts that he buys a new Cadillac each year or when the odometer reaches 50,000 miles, whichever comes first!  He's been doing so, he said, since he returned his Cadillac to the dealer; because he was not making the payments on it.  Let's assume that happened when he started NTCG in 1969.  This is 2012.  That's at least 43 Cadillacs (1 per year) or more (if he drove more than 50k mi; which he probably often did (as much as he travelled).  So, being conservative, we estimate 50 Cadillacs to support Pimp-Davis' Cadillac Habit.  WOW!!!!

"New Testament Christian Churches of America, Inc." A Business or a Church?

 A dragon Masquerades
 as a non-profit ntcc leader 

The ntcc is a family owned business that masquerades as a non-profit religious church organization.  It is structured like the military and run by a few diabolical business men.  The name is contradictory and is an oxymoron in itself.  It's like installing new locks at a 7-11 where the doors are open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, or going into business selling twelve-once pound cakes.

They say they are a non-denominational church; which is absurd.  They are so far from being a non-denominational church.  Their doctrine is their denomination; and you would be hard-pressed to find a church with more rules and policies than the ntcc.  In fact,  you would have to find another cult that is more controlling than they are.  They throw out clichés like "All are welcome." and "We'll treat you so many ways, you're bound to like one of them."  While the ntcc has some good people, they are being used to propagate an agenda that is only obvious to those who take an objective look at this business we call the ntcc.

A Family Run Business:
First of all the ntcc is a family run business.  These are some of the royal families that are at the top of the ntcc food chain:

• The Davis family sits at the top, living in luxury.  Are the leaders of a non-profit organization supposed to be this rich?  Do we see any examples of church leaders getting rich in the New Testament?
• The Kekel family is a branch of the Davis family.  Kekel married into wealth when he married the adopted Filipino daughter of R. W. Davis, Tanya Maxamillia Reynolds Davis, when she was the young tender age of 16 or 17.  
• You then have the Olsons and Brills,
• the Johnsons and Kinsons and Ankenbauers,
• the Ashmores and Jordans and DiFrancescos.

Many of these borg 'leaders' have unions which involve young teens marrying twenty-something year old men, some of whom are seven to nine years older than their young teen brides.


Hint:  If you need a signed permission slip from your prospective spouse's mamma and daddy, you may be in a weird cult that endorses child marriages!

NTCC = National Treasury of Church Cash:

 ntcc cash flows to
 Graham, Washington
 and disappears... 

There are multiple streams of income that flow to a city called Graham, Washington where all these royal ntcc nepotists reside.  Graham is in the Seattle, Washington area and is the headquarters for the NTCC, otherwise known as the National Treasury of Church Cash.  They operate a communal compound where cult members live and give.  They are expected to work jobs that allow them to attend all "church functions".

In other words they are mostly non-skilled workers that have to work 9 to 5, Monday through Friday.  These are mostly minimum wage or low paid construction and insulation jobs.  After the cult leaders get their cut, the cemetery, oops, seminary students have enough money left to eat Ramen noodle dinners and put gas into their "oil puking junkers" or "klunkers" so they can haul new recruits back and forth to church services.

Exploiting Our Military:
NTCC's Servicemen's Homes:
No Tax Cash Cows:
While the ntcc makes money in Graham off of it's cemetery, oops, seminary program, their bread and butter comes from their Servicemen's Home stream of income.  The Servicemen's Homes are located at military installations throughout the world; and they prey on young GI's that are good at following orders and have a steady income with little expenses.  Servicemen's Homes are basically mini cemeteries,oops, seminaries, in that they are modeled after the compound in Graham.  The Servicemen's Homes are mini communal cult compounds that are utilized to extract money from GI's and send it to: You guessed it!  Graham, Washington.  Furthermore, much pressure is placed on the service members to leave the military in order to attend the ntcc's school of rules, now called a seminary.  This is done to perpetuate the cycle of recruiting new cult members.

Mystical Manipulation and Mind Control:

 Mind Control 

All of this is done through mind control and spiritual manipulation.  New Christians are made to feel part of something special.  They are initiated into a love-bombing process that makes them feel wanted and cared about.  They are also introduced to church policies and destructive doctrines.  These are control mechanisms that open an individual up to scrutiny, rebuke and control.  Ordinary every day decisions that responsible Christians make every day by themselves are now controlled and manipulated by a so-called pastor.  The ntcc Christian is now expected to consult with their "spiritual leader" on issues like what to do with their spare time, what they can spend their money on, who they can talk to,  who they can call on the phone, who they can visit, what marriages, reunions and funerals they can not attend.  Their options are limited because there is a very large demand for their money.  Offerings are taken up throughout the week.  Tithe is demanded.  Hell is used as an ultimatum to get people living in fear; so they can be controlled.

Paramilitary Control Causing Dependency On The Cult:
The ntcc is set up financially as a business.  But it is patterned after the military in so many ways.  They call their military outreaches "A home away from home."  They run them like military barracks inspecting the rooms and jacking people up for not keeping them clean and organized.  If a super spiritual dignitary is scheduled to pay a visit (One of the royal family members or their designated representatives), the pastor puts people into a frenzy trying to get the place up to standards as if a four star general were coming by to inspect the place.  The pastor issues out a bunch of orders to his loyal subjects, puts them on major clean-up details and then retreats into his bunker, (usually his bedroom or church office), to straighten out the books in anticipation that the overseer is going to want to see where all of the pennies have been going.

Flipping Real Estate and Disappearing Escrow Accounts:

Perhaps the most lucrative enterprise that the ntcc is involved in is the real  estate and escrow business that provides rivers of money to Graham, Washington.  The ntcc asks a recently graduated cemetery, oops, seminary student to pray about going to Bumfuzzle, Louisiana.  That graduate, who has been spiritually and financially drained, is desperate to get on to the next phase of this pyramid scheme, and is willing to go anywhere in the world; so he  jumps at the chance to go start the New Testament Christian Church of Bumfuzzle, LA.

So he goes to Bumfuzzle and finds the most dilapidated, run-down, roof-leaking, roach-infested store-front building he can find at the cheapest price and goes to work.  If he is 'successful' he will influence others to join his cult and will spend all of his time and money repairing this building.  He will also influence others to dedicate their time, skills and money to repairing this building.  Once this pastor has a group of people to support and sustain this building he will be asked to pray about going somewhere else; and some abusive jerk will take this church over and run it into the ground.  All the people will be run off; the church will be sold at 5 times what ntcc paid for it; and the escrow will be zeroed out.

Collecting Money Under False Pretenses = Fraud:
Which brings us to the escrow scam, oops, funds.  Many of the Servicemen's Homes and churches have escrow funds that are advertised to be for use of the local pastor for repairs and unexpected costs that might be incurred.  The local Pastor may need a new church sign or to repair the roof or repave the parking lot.  There may be hundreds of thousands of dollars in the escrow; but when that pastor asks the ntcc 'royalty' for permission to use this money, he is told to "take up an offering".  We ask:  WHY?  The congregation already gave the money in good faith expecting the church to apply those funds as advertised.  Why the need TO TAKE UP ANOTHER OFFERING?  In the world of slang that is called double-dipping and gold-bricking. In court it would be called FRAUD / FALSE PRETENSES.

Stonewalling / Lack Of Financial Transparency:
Many of these escrow accounts have been zeroed out over the years; and the money has gone into a black hole in Graham, Washington.  Nobody dares to question the leaders of this family business as to the whereabouts of this money, except for Vic Johanson.  They immediately shut him down with a lame excuse as to the whereabouts of approximately $10,000.00 dollars he collected on behalf of the congregation in the Alaskan ntcc he pastored.  The man who replaced him as pastor there never saw that money.  Hmmn....  *Presto!*  *Magico!*  *There goes the Escrow!* - never to be seen again by the congregation who gve the money in good faith it would be used as was described to them.  Another ntcc disappearing escrow.

One only needs to take a trip out to the great Northwest to see where their tax, oops, tithe dollars, escrow money, real estate transaction money and all other unexplained disappearance of church funds has gone. The streams and rivers of income feed into a big "lake" which we call the Graham Compound.

 Leviathan
 on Guard 

In this lake lives Leviathan. Leviathan can never be satisfied. Though he has everything he can possibly want; yet his quest for more riches and more wealth never ends. His insatiable thirst for money and wealth has desensitized him from the struggles and poverty of all those around him. His close knit group of nepotists and narcissistic control mongers all feed at this lake, never being satisfied.  What was it the bible said about the love of money?  It is the root of all evil.  Hmmn.  And that's not all.  Jesus also commanded:

Mat 6:19  Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

Mat 6:20  But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

Once again, the ntcc's top 'leaders' are contradicting the Word of God!

Many of those who read this will no doubt say that we are just 'bitter' and 'angry' at God.  We ask you to take a closer look at what is going on in the ntcc.

• Is it really all about God?
• Does God's love and mercy exist in this incorporated family business?
• Is the focus really on Jesus?
• Or are the main ntcc families using Jesus as a No Tax Cash Cow?

We know many will dismiss everything we say and continue to live under the control and manipulation of a few greedy families; but we would ask you to do one thing before you write us off.  Look at the life of Jesus in the New Testament.

• Ask yourself if Mathew, Mark, Luke and John gave any account of Jesus living like the leaders of the ntcc.
• Does the ntcc have the same respect or care for the poor as Jesus did?
• Is the ntcc laying up their treasures in Graham, Washington or in heaven?
• Did Jesus present a double standard such as what exists in the ntcc?

We hope those inside the ntcc will begin to take an honest look at the organization to which they belong.

We invite the ntcc leadership to comment; but we know that their positions are indefensible.  Because there is no explanation for their actions; they will not explain them.  That would require transparency and honesty;  which are traits they do not possess.  Their actions are not Christ-like; they are not Christian.

From what I've learned, read, and heard Jesus would NEVER do such a thing. You can NOT justify your actions or say that you have the right to make these crude comments and tear down this orginization. Jesus was KILLED.. KILLED and after he rose he still loved the ones who killed him. Be honest with yourselves.. Do you really think that Jesus is smiling down on this? Jesus, the one who commands us to love our enemies. Jesus, the one who commands us to forgive, for if we can't forgive how can God our Father forgive us? From everything that I've seen and read I have come to believe that none of you have forgiven this church for what they did to you. If you had you would not being doing this right now. And I know even before I post this comment that once it's read some of you will be thinking and even reply 'This site is to warn others..' Let the others decide for themselves. Besides anyone in their right mind would realize that this site is filled with a bunch of people who are so filled with malice for that church that they don't even see it. Don't tell me that you are a Christian.. You are only wasting your breath. This.. Everything that's posted here is NOT Christian-like. I actually feel like crying.. How can there be people like you in this world? Yes, whatever happened to you was wrong, but you are stooping just as low as them posting all of this JUNK. There are ALWAYS two sides of the story. And people often let their emotions get in the way and blind them. I'm sorry to say that I am extremely dissappointed with everything that I've read here... P.S. I don't mean this in a harsh way, but get a life. Put everything that happened behind you. Pray for them..

Thank you Anonymous for your participation on this blog and also for your contribution; which I believe contributes greatly to our cause. We hope you will come back some more and share with us. We are glad that you found our site shocking. If we got your goat, that's the goat we were after. We got your goat and the tree it was tied to!  In all seriousness, there is a reason that the ntcc does not want you to comment on this blog or others like it.   When you figure out what that reason is you will have to make a decision. Do you want to continue to rebel against them?  And do you want to continue to make comments on this blog?  If you choose the latter, you may truly find out why the leadership of the ntcc does not want you to visit our community. We hope you will frequent this site as often as you can as we try to keep it updated regularly on the latest scandals. Sometimes it hard to keep track of them all; and it is painful to see people you love drowning in the quicksand of false doctrines. So as not to present accusations without substance like the ntcc does from their pulpits,  we will further break this down for you.

The Doctrine of Tithe:  Please read every scripture in the bible that speaks of tithe and see if you can twist it to mean 10% of your income in cash. They had money in the Old Testament but tithe was 10% of their agriculture. There is no commandment anywhere in either Testament to pay 10% cash, especially to leaders that lie about where the money is going and spend it on so many things that are forbidden to others under the false pretenses that they are using it for the advancement of the gospel.

The Doctrine of Holiness:  In the ntcc this doctrine is one of control that is designed to distinguish who is faithful to an organization and its leaders. The ultimatum of hell is attached to those who compromise this doctrine and nobody is welcome to their conventions or conferences if they violate what ntcc defines as holiness.

The Doctrine of Isolation:  This doctrine should send up huge red flags to everyone that belongs to the ntcc. It is often preached or so implied that members should forsake family and friends. The ntcc has been very cold and calculated about this over the years and many families have lost loved ones to this doctrine. Not only do they not want you to be close to your family, but they don't want you to stay in contact with those in other ntcc churches. They don't want you to know who has left or what churches are closed down. If you knew this information you would have to change your slogan from "We are winning" to "We are losing".

The Doctrine of Misinformation:  In the ntcc you are not truthfully informed. There is no transparency or accountability. Can you really say without any doubt in your mind that your World Missions Pledges monies actually go to world missions?  Have all of the offerings taken up actually gone to the purposes that the ntcc advertises? Is your pastor honest and up front with you about things that take place in your church? Do you have a right to know why your brother or sister no longer attends church with you? Is the pastor honest or does he have something to hide? Is it wrong for you to ask these questions?

The Doctrine of Humiliation:  This happens to all those that can't seem to live up to the standards [legalism] of the ntcc powers that be. Rather than encouraging and esteeming the brother of low degree, they rebuke them and in many cases run them off. I was one of the brethren that would shout "Amen" at the top of my lungs.  I was very seldom openly humiliated; because I went along with every doctrine that the ntcc stood for. I was a 'yes man' to the max. When I think back on it I want to vomit. This is what the ntcc is looking for. Will you be that man or woman for them Anonymous?  Will you be snared in order to seek the ruler's favor, while denying the Christ Who died for you?

There are many more doctrines that we could discuss but we want to save them for future posts. We still owe everyone a post on the "adultery on demand" doctrine or "divorce policy" that is prevalent in the ntcc and reportedly has deep roots within the royal families of its leaders.  There are so many sordid topics that we need to cover;  but in the end our goal is to inform and educate people so that they will have a fair chance. All we can do is tell you the truth; we can't force you to believe it. You have to have the courage to step out of the box that the ntcc has placed you in and find the truth in what we are saying.   

Study Factnet, Deborah's witness and Jeff's blog. Read the countless stories of how the ntcc deals with human beings on a daily basis.  And most of all:

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. -- 2 Tim 2:15

I dare you to take a deeper look.   I dare you to defy this group just long enough to find out what they are really all about. Too many people refuse to do this; so we continue to blog, using this forum to decry hypocrisy, just like Jesus; Who, though He forgave the hypocrites, continued to warn them and others about the end result of  their  hypocrisy, pronouncing damnation and woe, and calling them serpants [sic] and vipers:

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves. -- Mat 23:15

[Ye] serpents, [ye] generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? --  Mat 23:33

Perhaps Anonymous would 'boldly' rebuke the Lord too?
