NTCC is exactly what it seems to be (or, it's a duck)...

"All that matters is money and numbers."

First Anonymous makes it appear (on Jeff's Blog) they went there by accident (“…when someone stumbles onto this page like I did…”).

Then Anonymous went there on purpose to verify something (“…the reason I came on here is because I saw something on facebook and came to check if it was real.”)

And now Anonymous won’t be back.

Anonymous says they have not heard the leadership say anything bad about MDR (Reed) since their escape, but I heard Senior Pastor Davis (and others) say plenty against MDR when he was still trapped; at the Lodge, and during Conferences in Missouri and in the Philippines. Senior Pastor Davis would air MDR’s dirty laundry, embarrass him, disrespect him, belittle him, bully and assault him, etc…both to his face, and behind his back. Even trying to involve his wife against him.

Only harmless manly fun right? Normally yes, but since none of us could ever respond in kind, it was just bullying, and therefore harmful and un-Christ-like.

If a person never saw any of this, then they haven’t been around very long, or gotten very close to the leadership; therefore their perceptions don’t count. FYI, by close, I mean physically close to the leadership. Almost all of the stuff we share happened while we were still in good standing with the Cult as Licensed and Ordained Ministers.

If a person has never personally experienced any of this, then they haven’t been around very long, or gotten very close to the leadership; therefore their perceptions don’t count. FYI, by close, I mean physically close to the leadership.

A point is, we don't Blog because of all that is said against us now (this doesn't matter, since we have left), but because of the bad environment we were exposed to while still in. And, since NTCC's environment still hasn't substantively changed people still need to be warned.

Senior Pastor Davis’ style of shepherding would negatively tint my view of many people in his Cult. I stayed away from MDR, and many others that Senior Pastor Davis berated, because I thought they were jacked-up, and/or they would be a bad influence on me based only on what my Pastor said and did. I see now that I missed out on getting to know a lot of great people. Sorry MDR, my loss.

Senior Pastor Kekel/Davis did plenty against Deb and I during the last 1.5 years we were still in (Licensed/Ordained), only in our case it is documented. And we are living daily with the repercussions over 5 years later. Plenty was said against us while we were still in (the last 1.5 years again), and after we escaped. Again, in our case it is documented.

Senior Pastor Davis was derelict in his duty/responsibility to me as my Pastor (also documented). No one seems to care about this. Senior Pastor Kekel sowed discord among the brethren (Becky, John and us…also documented). No one seems to care about this.

There are people that have been gone for decades, and that never post against NTCC, and that are still talked bad about in some NTCC circles.

Anonymous also proves the point that you will be talked about when you leave; regardless of how amicable your escape was. They are talking bad about MDR on facebook. Ostensibly about what he is posting now, but it wouldn’t be real NTCC gossip unless it is peppered with the usual…“I knew there was something wrong when this or that happened, or when he said this or that, et cetera.” and then end with "...just pray for them." So as to soothe the Cult conscience.

And since when did it become Scripture that…“If you talk bad about us (the Cult), then we will talk bad about you. You leave us alone (the Cult), and we will leave you alone.” This smacks of revenge to me.

If we are routinely damaged for many years by something done in the name of Jesus, and it’s a systemic problem in a religion Organization, then we have the right (some may say duty) to warn others. Revenge is not my motive, duty to my fellow man is.

The world would be better off without NTCC. This is my opinion based on my 30+ years of Christian experience in many Churches (including NTCC). And my experience is backed up by a multitude of witnesses.

What did any of us do to harm our Cult while we were still involved? I think Senior Pastor Kekel’s view (...”I consider anyone who has left NTCC an enemy.") sums up their motive and spirit; my motive is to be a help to those that need help.

So there’s nothing alarming about a religion’s leader routinely saying "I can't remember the last time I sinned." and "All I do is by the Holy Ghost." and "I have never missed God."? A man that thinks this about himself is not dangerous to his flock and the Body of Christ in general?

What about a man (who has professed he has been a Christian for over 50 years) that will routinely say:

Just walk away.

• "All that matters is money and numbers." 

• "...just ask me and I'll tell ya."

• "If you don't like it, there's the door."

• "If you need more money, have more church services"

• "Don't expect me to get all excited when you come and tell me that your wife's pregnant."

• "I've never seen a homosexual or Puerto Rican get saved."

• "The ministry is a business."

• "Don't bring homeless people to church, they don't have any money."

• "...if you have a problem with me, you have a problem with God."

• "If you do what I do, you can have what I have."

• "Buy Savings Bonds..."

• "The hardest thing you will ever do is make it in the rapture of the church."

• "All Christians pay tithe and give offerings."

• "If you have a problem with one of my pastors, you have a problem with me, and if you have a problem with me, you have a problem with God."

• "I may forgive; but I never forget!"

• "Don't ask for my advice unless you intend to follow it."

• "The only two organizations I know of besides ours that have church government right are the Catholics and the Mormons."

• "No one has ever left this organization under the direction of the Holy Ghost"

• “Et cetera.”

Nothing dangerous in this? Seriously?

What about a man (who has professed he has been a Christian for over 50 years) that will routinely tell racist and dirty jokes? Yeah, the sky is green, the Government is here to help, and you’re not in a Cult.
