| HE DOES, REALLY |
An alternate title could be: Believe the talk, not the walk. It's the Cult for me.
What a camp-meeting could be: 1854 extract. On amazon also @ 168 pages, illustrated. I've attended this type camp meeting, once with Pastor Davis in Okinawa.

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's rich enough to need to itemize in NTCC?) and go toward (why toward & no to? or is he trying to sound fancy?) the upkeep and expansion (for 27% less people?) of our wonderful Campground."
A $40 room is not overpriced...until one takes their blindfold off and realizes
the Campground billeting is not a good $40 value. IOW there's context, anathema to a cult. And this's my point, since the rooms are not a good value, they're a rip-off,
and therefore overpriced. Viola, context.
Although, $40 dollars a night was the price over 5 years ago, so maybe the price went up to cover their statement-real-estate improvements in rural Missouri, off a miles long dirt road & backed into a creek in a hollow? If you want, explore the undeveloped woods on the property. They're a trove of beer cans, liquor bottles, ammo casings & cigarette butts. Some conferences we would arrive a few days early from oversees (the friday/saturday before) & I would hike the woods in back of the fellowship hall, et al.

"A Progressive Work...The newer Tabernacle is large enough to seat (chairs ain't bodies) over 1,200 people, and the old, smaller Tabernacle is the Dining Facility that now offers breakfast (what kind? they serve eggs to order now? rye toast?) and lunch (what kind? may I get a BLT on white, extra mayo on the side please? chips? a glass of water/no ice? thank-you), plus snacks (what kind? do you still have to pay for food-bank pie? am i allowed to bring my own food again, in a cooler, without the usual side of shaming this time? the whole menu is snacks, so i stupidly brought my own food in a cooler one time early on while I was in cult-college) and fellowship (what kind? do I have to talk to Rev. Kekel? will Davis punch my wife &/or kids? inappropriate comments? can we play board games if we bring 'em? Spades would be nice & less worse than high-school football) after evening services. In 2012, a large, new double freezer was added providing more food storage space...Also in 2012, two new steam tables were purchased to allow two serving lines...There was an espresso-coffee machine purchased, and there is much excitement (who's excitement?) about that!...One necessary improvement was the paving and road-widening project completed in '09 (why necessary? so cars don't get dusty-er? 'cause folks are getting wider? because rural Missouri has mud? so the board members can drive there cleaned-daily Cadillac to fellowship after driving it to the tabernacle, from the lodge or their motor-mcmansion? brothers detail their cars during conference), costing $28,172.52...Then another lodging facility was added, having ten rooms; building "N" was completed at a cost of $75,000." - myntcc.org (May 2020). Conference billeting never sells out since FACTNet, so they relaxed the rules about who can attend. They lowered the minimum age, so younger girls could come to conference. They cancelled the requirement "ONLY MEMBERs WHO HAVE FAITHFULLY ATTENDED OUR CHURCHES FOR ONE YEAR MAY ATTEND." So lets build more stuff & lower standards to pay for it. Like an alcoholic in his cups, begging OPM to pay for his next drink. They got rid of the above-cited one-year policy & lowered the minimum age to allow boys & girls on the campground.
But, here are the facts why our Campground accommodations are overpriced. Plus, like Graham's compound, the leadership built it 'cause you will absorb the cost. Like an unfunded mandate. Every swinging-God's-child an income stream & why it's a mandatory show-up & why they keep so many ministers pew-sitting in Graham. They only allow a minister to go out if than can spare the loss of his income stream. So I don't know why Mike rails against pew-sitters.
Our Cult always says the things they do are a blessing to us? E.g. they decide what's a blessing & what 'blessings' you need. But when facts are examined the Campground billeting is anything but. Plus, they exaggerate in Holy Spirit Power, i.e. lake for pond. Called poo-pond 1 (front) or 2 (rear) by the faithful from 1987 'til myntcc.org's NEW-website said different on 2020. These poo-ponds are all over rural Missouri & never called lakes.

Curfew (you can't go out in town for a late night anything, because you will be locked out after midnight).
Because
of the extra stuff you have to bring (or buy at Walmart once you get
there), and the extra gas you use to go places in town from Camp, you end
up spending about an extra $20 per night for a 2-man room on the Campground. Just to go to Mexico MO is 25-miles one-way (2-gallons of gas). If you use
the BBQ Pavilion 1 time (for a worthwhile cookout) add another $20 per night, on top of this. For a total extra cost of $40 per night on top of what your billeting category (bay, room) costs.
Plus,
you are guilted/harassed into staying there, or maligned for persisting to stay
in much better accommodations out in town. If the Campground billeting is great, why don't they show pictures of the rooms on the Campground web-Page. Even the worst Hotels do this.
"Solitude (during conference?). The Camp's whisper-quiet (during conference?) Missouri location (just a standard Missouri location, as you see driving in on the dirt roads, not special & not even near the best) offers you four beautiful seasons to choose from (during conference? is there a winter conference now? Summer? plus many locations across America have 4-seasons); one of the most beautiful being Autumn; Walnut trees, red Oaks and yellow Maples, even Catalpa trees. Listen to the many songbirds; watch Canada Geese floating in the front lake (the geese's don't use # 2, the back lake? not authorized? against policy?); and even hear the owls in the evening (before curfew? & many states have owls). Two lakes reflect the beautiful scenery and soothe the mind, as you savor the fresh air and watch the sun slowly descend." - myntcc.org (May 2020) The 'lakes' are septic ponds. Lipstick the pig. I never heard the poo-ponds referred to as lakes before their website description. So we can boat on them now? Are there still floaties on them? If poo floats it indicates too much fat in the diet, so lots of floaties at conferences, especially pond # 1.
We always stayed in town, until the first Campground Hotel was built (1995), then we stayed there. Then we started staying in the Lodge. This was all when Conference was still mandatory until Spring Conference 2007, and before we escaped in 2009.
"When the first 80 acre parcel of land was purchased, there was but one small farmhouse by the entrance (which was torn down and rebuilt as a residence for the Camp Curator). Then the Lodge (strange the lodge was built second, but Pastor needed someone to maintain the Lodge, the rest of the campground was only ever a cover for his church-bought vacation property he only had to share 2-weeks per year), two single-person's dormitories, and several married couple's residences were added. The dorms overlook either of the Camp's two man-made lakes, with bathrooms and showers that were open style (no dividers or doors; remember, the rest of the camp was a cover for the lodge, so bare bones; it's a wonder we didn't have to pitch tents, which would have been fine/wonderful); people had to walk from their rooms to use them (as opposed to uber or the bicycle they brought? is Mike saying this was a hardship?)...in 1995 the first two-story lodging facility was constructed with private bathrooms (timed showers) for each room. Over the next ten years, all lodging facilities were remodeled to include private bathrooms (timed showers). From the purchase of the land in 1986 until now, the progressive building program has transformed this farmland into a beautiful, restful retreat." - myntcc.org (2020)
Now
the Campground has a BBQ pavilion; so you get to spend even more money
pretending you're happy and normal (meat, sides, condiments, charcoal, starter fluid, cooler,
ice, drinks, plates, cups, flatware, napkins/paper towels, wet-wipes, trash bags, et cetera...a $90+ value; yours for only $90+). Have fun playing volleyball in your church
clothes.
If you bring all these things with you, you still had the initial expense, plus it costs more for the extra gas from the extra weight of your preferred cook-out fair.

Just
remember, your fun's being monitored from the “Big House.” Master Davis
(or a flunky) will be driving by (or stopping by for a friendly “visit”). If
you spend too much time at the pavilion, and enjoy yourself too much, or get
too loud, you will be marked as a person of interest, and be watched more than you’re
usually watched. But, mostly just preached at during the next scheduled
service. The pulpit is the Cults version of a fire-and-forget weapons system.
My
prediction's the new pavilion will become another unused/underutilized carnal
asset of NTCC (but, it looks good on the satellite view of the Campground).
Having a worthwhile cookout is a lot of work, and the people which do financially manage to get to conference
arrive overworked and under-appreciated…i.e. tired. Plus, have no extra money for a cook-out.
Once
the newness wears off (one Conference), most will want to sleep rather than
spend the day buying $90 dollars worth of cook-out stuff, and frolicking around
the homemade BBQ grill and 6 volleyball courts along the frolickers woodline. Plus, you have to clean everything to like-new condition in time for service each night. Plus, how do 1,000 saints use one grill & 6 volleyball courts? Shifts?
"The Pavilion: A place where people can gather for fellowship, any time of day! (during service? 5am? during curfew?) The project began with an idea (who's?) in the Fall of 2011, and construction was finished Fall 2012. The Pavilion lies 50 feet square with burgundy metal roof and legs, with a center-placed BBQ pit and ceiling vent. Surrounded by many picnic tables, it provides the perfect place (who decided for everyone?) for fellowship outside (grass & blankets are over rated, we tried this also, but our perfect place for outside fellowship was kiboshed). The newest features are the stainless steel food preparation sink and counter, and 6 volleyball nets along the woodline. At night (before curfew & after service? so 1 hour?) the place is alive with singing, instruments, eating, and awesome fellowship. Hopefully a small outdoor PA system will be in place this spring, so all those aspiring vocalists can use microphones (for a 50 foot square area?)." - myntcc.org (May 2020) Their website reads & looks like a High-School yearbook. I wonder if Mike took them? Do you remember the series he did years ago of a daily pic of Mount Rainer? This's what lots of free time will do to you.
Was
there any preaching directed against the goings on at the pavilion yet? If not,
there will be. Did anyone "Bring a boom-box! Or bring that 8' tall
amplifier and guitar..." Har, har, har. Don't forget to "Bring
your stuff, your football, your BBQ, your camera or your guitar, (yes, even
your banjo) and let's have a blast!...you can bring your own BBQ, smoker or grill,
along with frisbees, musical instruments, coolers, whatever." Is Rev. Kekel a clown, a preacher, or a carnival barker? Now you get to decide. He won't relate to the little people or make daddy proud.
I'm sure a new rash of rules were generated by the Pavilion…and is included in the NEW in-gathering rules brief. Whatever NTCC gives they eventually take away (like the free lunch which lasted 1 Conference), or regulates out all enjoyment.

The
first time a person comes to evening service dirty, smelly, and/or draggy, the
pavilion fun will be shut down. Make sure you dance and amen, even if you don’t
feel like it (like you usually do). Don’t even think about coming to service with dirty shoes (check
your kids also). Don’t act tired.
If
you're injured, don’t tell anyone. There's an urgent-care on 3626 South Clark Street. You don't have insurance, so have cash ready. If your child is injured don’t tell anyone, just head for South Clark Street.
Pray no one needs a hospital stay, because if you miss service or the
leadership finds out, it will not bode well for all the most recent brand-new damage-control “see-we-are-changing…really-we-are…it-was-all-Senior-Pastor-Davis’-fault”
fun on the Campground. Plus, they'll have to visit you & you know how they hate inconveniences to their free-time i.e. any time outside scheduled services.
If
you overuse the pavilion you will be preached at, if you under-use it you will be preached at. Here's a fun activity/experiment…use the pavilion during the
not-mandatory morning prayer meetings, or during fellowship after evening
service, and see what happens. Or better yet, between services have your own Prayer
Meeting or Bible Study at the Pavilion. But, you already know what will happen.
Why'd they build a "pavilion?" Was there a hue and cry from the unwashedmasses still attending? The longer I observe our Cult from the outside, the more convinced I am they want to look at what they've amassed from Google satellite view (and it's impressive), while gulping Nyquil-'n'-tonic high-balls in their study (no ice). To persist in convincing themselves they're doing something for God, sans evidence as God defines it. They continue to not report anything substantive, in the way of souls saved.
Here's another fun activity/experiment: Senior Pastor Kekel shares here..."You can also spend time at the Camp when there is no Conference." Who's taking vacations, beside the leadership? But, take him up on his kind fake-offer, and ask to stay at the Campground when there's no Conference, and then let us know how this turns out & if there are Canada geese, 4-seasons & floaties.

Yeah, things're changing, you’re not in a Cult, Pastor Davis respects God's children & Rev. Kekel is a preacher.

That was a serious analysis Gregory and your point was well taken. If someone is open minded enough (which most NTCC people aren't) to consider what you wrote, $20 a night would be overpriced and your points were quite valid. Timed showers? Are you kidding me? Once again they can kiss my butt which wouldn't be as clean as I'd like if the water shut off before I finished. A lawn chair? See I wouldn't know all that because I never stayed on the camp ground because too many folks told me it was a dump with sorry amenities.
It wouldn't be worth $10 a night to me based upon what you described. No curtains? I like it dark when I sleep and for $40 bucks I expect darkness. No microwave? No small fridge? I wouldn't pay $5 a night for that mess.
WHAT???? WHAT????!!!!!
R.W. Davis and Kekel deserve to live better than I do? REALLY???? You don't see them living like that but I'm supposed to for $40 dollars a NIGHT??????!!!!! I wouldn't stay there for free!!!! Get some of that anonymous and I'm not kidding. I deserve to live just as luxurious as Davis does you jerk. $40 dollars a night. Please. When my family and I stay in a Hotel we stay in about as good as we can find. The last Hotel that we stayed in (which was about 2 months ago) had two separate bedrooms, a dining room, a living room, a NICE bathroom, a kitchen with a FULL refrigerator, DISHWASHER, OVEN, MICROWAVE, hard wood cabinets, and it even had a separate laundry room with washer and dryer in our HOTEL ROOM!!!! And because I got a discount, I got it for $126 dollars a night and I'm supposed to stay in a dump for $40 a night.
Oh but RWD goes through the roof if you put him up in a room that is substandard but I'm supposed to live in a dump on the camp ground? You all can kiss my butt after I stay in a camp ground room with a TIMED SHOWER!!!!
Get some of that.
And that's one of the main problems in the NTCC. All the minions think that RWD and Kekel deserve to live so much better than they do and the minions keep shelling out money so Davis and Kekel can do exactly that; live way better than they do. Knowing what I know now? I'm not giving some stinking greedy millionaire like Davis and Kekel my money so they can continue to live better than me. And the only service they provide is blasting everyone with a bunch of nonsense rules that they are not even willing to follow? Really?
NTCC people have such low budget mentalities and I'm not exaggerating and the ones who don't are "usually" the crooks. I never stayed on the stinking campground because I was told it was a dump by NTCC ministers and other church members who had been naive enough to stay there. Don't do me any favors you bunch of sorry NTCC leaders by offering me a low budget room with all your stinking rules attached for $40 a night. I'd rather sleep in the back of my truck which by the way is brand spanking new and it's a
Toyota thank you. Japanese. Better than Cadillac or BMW. I don't need a status symbol vehicle. I need practicality and reliability. I'm not trying to act like the "BIG CHEESE" like Kekel and Davis. I can't think of anyone who has lower character than Davis or Kekel except maybe Olson. Kinson and Ashmore run a close second with Jones right behind.
And why can I afford a brand new truck? Because I am no longer stupid enough to give crooks like Davis and Kekel my money.
Thanks Chief,
The timed showers are on the honor system (maximum 5 minutes), and will not shut off if you go over. We never did because we timed them while we were taking them.
No curtains in a room window that faces east or west. So you are getting direct sunlight in your room for a good part of the day.
And yes, you are trying to sleep all you can at conference. At least we did.
For $50 a night Deb and I have stayed in 4 star hotel suites (full kitchen, office, sitting room, fireplace, etc.) that we bid on.
Did you get a Tundra? Deb still loves her 2010 (paid for).
Gregory
Jeff, Here are some rules that went along with the room.
1. No fellow-shipping outside after the fellow-ship hall was closed. People had to sit in their vehicles and talk. But then this was stopped when people were caught having too much fun!
2. You could not visit other rooms.
3. There was a curfew. The gate was locked around midnight.
4. As a bonus, we had to clean the building from top to bottom after Conference ended. You could not check out until your room was inspected.
So you didn't miss a thing, by not staying. Count yourself blessed!
Deborah
Gregory asked...

Tacoma, double cab. SR5 Prerunner. Satellite Radio Baby. The NTCC would probably call it the devilradio.

Can you spell, "CONTROL FREAK". That stuff burns me up. Treating grown men and women worse then folks in boot camp. $40 a night? For that nonsense? They couldn't pay me $40 a night to put up with that mess. I don't need money that bad.
Having said that, back in the day, I was brainwashed just like everyone else but not any longer. I visit who I want, when I want, for how long I want, and without some CONTROL FREAK trying to mandated and dictate otherwise. Davis and Kekel does what they want, when they want and with who they want. I don't see those crooks asking anyone for "permission". Who inspected the lodge?
I can't believe that I put up with that nonsense for as long as I did but it's over now.
And at a normal "hotel", you leave your room when you are done and they pay a cleaning crew to straighten up the rooms. In contrast, the NTCC has NTCC wifes clean up Kekel's house. $40 a night? I've stayed in Days Inn's for that price and someone else cleaned up my room.
Now who is the liar? There's no way I'm spending $40 a night to stay in that mess and no one else in the United States would do it either other than a brainwashed NTCCer or a homeless bum.
I can see it now. I open up a hotel and I tell the people who come to rent a room that they can't visit anyone else, got to go to bed and or turn out the lights at a certain time and they can't leave the area after a certain time and no talking with other folks at a certain time. How many people do you suppose would rent one of my rooms? Can you spell, ZERO????!!!!
$40 a night? Now who is the liar? Now that I've really taken a closer look at this situation, it's not even simply someone's opinion any longer. It ain't worth $40 or even $1 because I flat out wouldn't "VOLUNTARILY" stay in those conditions under any circumstances and neither would anyone else who wasn't either a bum or a brainwashed NTCCer.
No logical person who had $40 would even consider staying in those conditions.
You see NTCC people are used to being treated like children so they put up with that mess. No sensible or logical person would put up with that garbage for $40 a night.
Don't you know that 40 bucks a night is a steal now that they have the new pavilion. You can go stay with a bunch of sinners in a motel if you want to, but I'm going to stay at the camp ground. 40 bucks includes getting blasted every night in conference. You can't tell me that a little rebuke and reproof isn't good for you. If you stay in a motel, you might have your TV and Microwave but God is definitely going to be at the campground. Didn't you know that? For 40 bucks, we get to sleep on 2 inch foam pads in bunk beds with the mosquitoes and crickets and God. Meanwhile back at the lodge, Verna is snoozing in her manly pajamas with all the ammenities of a The Hilton, while R-dub is sawing logs in a Nyquil induced coma.
I might be crazy, but let me stay crazy. You all are missing out on the true blessings of staying at the Camp Ground. This is what we live for. Camp Meeting!!! We pay our tithes and give in offerings all year long so we can scrape together a few hundred bucks, (if we are lucky) and make that drive to Santa Fe, MO. We are going to be blessed. Now that we can bring our frisbees and ukuleles and sing songs around the campfire. This is the highlight of our lives. It's what we live for.
Don't you realize that the ntcc is the last hope for mankind on earth? If you are not on the campground clapping your hands and stomping your feet when the rapture takes place you are going to be left behind. That is why everyone is highly encouraged to go. If God wants you at that campground but you decide to sleep in some motel, you are going to miss out. If you don't quit your job and go to conference, you are going to miss out on the move of God. Thus saith the great and mighty blow hard.
I don't know if that message was from Don or Ange but Don is fired. If Don wrote it he's fired and if Ange wrote it, Don doesn't have "CONTROL" of his wife and Don is still fired. He is no longer CEO of Blogsters and he is no longer the General Bloggerseer. Until he prays through and gets right with Gawd I won't even allow him to lead Blog service!!! Thus saith the Chief Chili Cheese Dog Chippy Cheat Chiefster Swindler Huckster. You better repent and renounce the camp ground or you'll never again be the General Bloggerseer Don.
The camp ground rules stink so beat your face. I don't want to be around Verna in her jammies while Rdub passes out from Nyquil holding his Henry Rifle that he conned all the ministers into buying for him. I don't want to throw Frisbee with Tanya and Mike while listening to the ukulele. I'm not interested in hearing about how their son is doing at the Catholic college. I don't want to hear Rdub tell everyone how he never missed Gawd, does everything by the Holy Ghost, can't remember the last time he sinned, and if you need more money, don't be scared to get it from the people!!!
You are done Don! No go clean Kekel's house, shine Rdub's shoes and wash Olson's car. You've been demoted to Private Blogster First Class.
The Chief is out!
Roll Tide!!!

Aw, Chief. Please don't publicly humiliate me on the blogs like this. That was "inspired" writing, Chief. They say, "If you don't like the message, don't shoot the messenger" or something like that. Anyway, you can't fire us because we weren't voted in. You have to have a blogster meeting and take a vote. This is too big of a decision for you to make by yourself.
They also say, "Don't make a big decision in the heat of the battle". Think about it and pray about it. This might be one of those instances that warrants a double standard. You know, Chief, God does change His mind from time to time. Just like He did on raising children in dresses and no shorts. Well maybe that was just an "exception to policy", it seems a little harsh to be calling it a double standard.
Maybe the bible is like our constitution, (according to some people), in that it is a living and breathing document that was outdated and meant to be changed with the times. Our forefathers really didn't mean that we were supposed to have freedom of religion, they just meant that if our religion didn't offend anyone we could be free to worship anyway we wanted to. Our forefathers escaped religious oppression and wrote some very good documents that empowered us citizens with unalienable rights.
Well, the ntcc has taken their freedom of religion to the extreme and used it to recruit as many suckers as they could find. They are protected by our government, and allowed to use God as a vehicle to get rich and have lots of power and oppress people.
I was using the ntcc jargon and weasel words to show how they justify what they do and when you are a member and have all your eggs in one basket, it's easy to believe the cult jargon. So please take all of this into consideration Chili Cha Chiefster, before you fire me.
As for not having control of my wife; you got me dead to rights on that one. Because I have no control, nor do I desire to control another human being. She is going to do what she wants to anyway, so there is no reason for me to try to control her. Actually, I'm in her amen corner. The only controlling that goes on in our household takes place when we fight over who gets to control the remote for the devil vision. I have the controls on Sunday or when there is an NFL game on. Last night we watched a chick flick on the Hallmark channel. Okay, I'll admit that I fell asleep but I tried my best. I like not having control, it's one less thing to stress over.
