Hello both,

The crowning achievement of this blog is being part of the great collective work started on FACTNet - Tuesday, September 30, 2003 - 1:50 am. Providing tens-of-thousands of hours of reflection, growth & entertainment. When Pastor Davis died today, my perceived duty to inform died. The king is dead (RIP), long live who's next. Huzzah! Happy RIP Day.

Part 1: Synergy? -- JC (originally posted 7/20/2013)...

 WHERE the world LEADS 
         NTCC is THERE         
  IT'S policy - SINCE 1969  

"Hear Ye, Hear Ye, Hear Ye:

Important note:

As you probably know, during the spring conference sessions, the General Board determined that all licensed and ordained ministers be henceforth required to attend a minimum of one conference per year. This is in keeping with Synergy and a true team spirit. Therefore, if you missed the spring conference, we expect to see you this fall.

 WHERE the world LEADS

  IT'S policy - SINCE 1969  

CRITIQUE: It's always instructive observing what excites Mike. What's in his closet. What pies he has his finger(s) in? So this's what Mike taught this conference? His latest tone-deaf, not-Bible, anti-human, against-Christ, no-charity, fools-proof scheme. Every new thing in a cult has the same patina as every old thing. So no new things really. Nothing to see, really. Move on, REALLY. Really? Really. There's the door.

Part 3: No thank-you. -- JC (originally posted 7/20/2013)...

 WHERE the world LEADS 
         NTCC is THERE         
  IT'S policy - SINCE 1969  

MORE CRITIQUE: More business strategy exported into his side-hustles as Senior Pastor, CEO & Dean. My review of Murphy is 5-stars, but I'm not an LLC. Out of the 10 rules listed in Part 2 above, maybe Mike only workshops rule #1 while only preaching #10? With #2 through #9 only used for bullet-points for workshop, revival & conference posters & stick-figure handouts. For those who've been to Asia, Mike's #10, without an Asian work ethic.

"New Testament Christian Churches of America, Inc., also called New Testament Christian Church is one of the most wonderful churches available today. Among this church it is well known that we don’t consider ourselves to be the “only ones saved”, and we also know that, more and more, in churches of today, the world and the saints are without distinction. Churches as godly as this one are certainly rare nowadays, but weren’t so rare 50 years ago." - The_WHIRLWIND (on FACTNet in 2004)

Please note, the message below is coming from the man who has been self-assigned to Graham for over 29 (43 now) years; pursuing his "called to administrative work..."? But, we never find out if Mike was talking about the Gift-of-Administration or called as in he was appointed by RWD via child-romance, then-matrimony. But, he's known by his near-constant intentional ambiguity stemming from his lack of footing.

Sorry about the red ink (again, my commentary). But, as is usual, Senior Pastor Kekel's reasons/reasonings engender more questions than answers; clouds not clarifies, tattles not trumpets, prattles not proclaims.

"February 6, 2012

What happened to Fellowship Meetings?

Those monthly 'get-togethers' were always so special! I remember one many years ago at Rev. Espinoza's Tacoma church with a bunch of us out on the front porch, just singing and having church; a pleasant memory. The meetings weren't fixed at any certain interval, but often occurred monthly and usually on a Saturday. You knew that there would be singing, shouting, praise and blessings, and surely that fellow that needed that breakthrough would find it there!

 

Part 2: Fellowship meetings are a burden & disruption. -- MCK 😎 (originally posted 11/21/2012)...

ARE WE THERE YET ? 😎

Hello all,

Senior Pastor Kekel shared..."The primary reason for this [fellowship meeting cancellation], was to ease the financial burden on the churches and pastors, and stop the monthly disruption of their schedules." 

 

QUESTION: How does a church service disrupt a church's schedule? In what way? Does lunch disrupt a diner's hours-of-operation? In what way? Maybe it depends on the service? Words of Mike & friends in red throughout (includes some-paraphrasing bonus).  

 

😎 If red words are read, with the voice in your head, in the voice of a Graham pretender; while enhancing the read, it may plant a seed, of light in your caveat empter.

Part 3: Emergency POLICY CHANGE...

ARE WE THERE YET ? 😎

2026 POLICY UPDATE: Fellowship meetings (FM) are now allowed if supervised by an executive in attendance & more alarming, Denis-style PrayerForce is the new prayer meeting policy.

 

RECAP': In 2012 Senior Pastor Kekel shared..."The primary reason for this [fellowship meeting cancellation], was to ease the financial burden on the churches and pastors, and stop the monthly disruption of their schedules."

Anonymous wrote as a comment here..."The rooms at camp are not overpriced. 40 a night is not overpriced. Your such a liar.”

Senior Pastor Kekel wrote here..."The blessing is that it enables us to have a place to host the Conferences and keep rooms affordable for those who wish to stay on the Camp. God is good! He has made it all possible through the selfless service of many who have labored here, and by the giving of many who have a desire to be part. All donations to the Campground are tax-deductible (who needs to itemize in NTCC?) and go toward (why toward & no to? or is he trying to sound fancy? or does the money not quite make it there?) the upkeep and expansion (for 27% less people?) of our wonderful Campground."

Senior Pastor Kekel calls him “Ramtha Man".  But, don’t call him Kekel or Mike, et cetera; as he takes offense at anything less than the utmost respect/deference shown him, he just won't reciprocate. The rest of us know him as Bruce.

*Mike excoriates folks for not doing enough for God, LIVE on NTCC-TV. No second witness needed. Varied in intensity proportionate to how-much more-money NTCC-of-Graham needs any particular month. Proportionate also to how much ex'r blog Mike gulps each month. NTCC Graham's the only church location in the borganization which isn't self-supporting. Along with the campground & print shop, which he's also solely responsible for administrating. So he's moved on to workshop & building remodels. Failure's Mike's own reward. A thoughtful Christian would marvel at the hypocrisy. His pride masking his shame. His seethe drowning-out God's call.

*He's already respected through his nepo-appointments under the Davis' administration. But Mike shares he's still not RESPECTED enough. Maybe he wants the RESPECT pioneer's & missionary's garner? But he substitutes synergy, workshop & building remodels for souls & go-getting? After tainting the bridal path 45+ years ago, a 2012 pavilion must seem a big thing at 50x50 feet. But, in 2023? Davis was still alive in 2012, so RW still gets all the credit & still all the blame for Mike. We even gifted Michael honorary awards & he still seethes re more-RESPECT live on NTCC-TV. Yes, LIVE. Ingrate. No second witness needed.

Hello All,

Audience preparation for this article:

Calculate how much you put in the basket & how much you spend at the Fellowship Hall for one conference, Now add what you spend for billeting on the campground. Multiply by 1000. This is a close estimate of income received from one conference of 1,000 cult members & only wrong proportionate to the number of folks you choose for each billeting category (room, bay, town; explanation below).

I got $180 for me ($80 offerings, $20 food, $80 for 1/2 room), for $180,000 income from 1,000 attendees, for one conference. Or 222 people if you divided my $180 into Kekel's $40,000, for one conference. Therefore, there are either 222 folks at conference or they rake in $180,000 for one conference. So, 1,000 ≠ 40,000. Rev. Kekel gaslights 1,000 = 40,000 below. Though you're exposed once again, once again take it away Senior Pastor Kekel (rimshot):

Is Broken

Brother Brill's resigned as a minister (with FAMILY BOND in tact, it's a miracle), but should/does want to maintain a relationship with his in-laws (Olson). This requires an obscene amount of delicacy on the Brill's part. Like petting a squirrel, a cult leader's always skittish. Jones, Denis, Applewhite & Davis are run-o'-the-mill examples. If Rev. Kekel involves himself against them as he did with us in Panama, then fuhgeddaboudit, THE FAMILY BOND IS BROKEN (as good as). It's policy.
