"You know my $100,000.00 red sports car people complain about? It's a black 2003 model SLK32, and the blue book value is about $13,000 [in 2012]. Check it yourself. [we did, $20,000 in 2026]. Someone should feel really embarrassed over hearsay they repeated about that. "How is it?" I shopped, I researched, I waited over a year, and prayed, yes prayed, without a covetous spirit, and BAM, there it was." -- MCK [CEO Blog; retrieved April 2012]

We're still relevantly discussing SYNERGY in these paragraphs. Along with many of the things preventing SYNERGY in Graham.
The only thing he crows (screeches) as growth, or proof of God moving, is his acquisition of real estate & personal possessions. Their org/borg website's full of pictures & articles about recently purchased property, remodels; even more campground construction. Very little anything about people, other than increasingly frequent obituaries & tiny graduating classes. They equate money & what it buys, as proof of God's favor - RWD. RWD, who also shares the difference between a rooster & a hooker. This's a Davis' approved joke, but not funny from a minister. What's a shift change at Burger King called? Remember Tanya's shoe scandal? How shocked NTCC folks were at the size of her shoe collection & feet? And yes, she has Choo's too. Tanya was even born in the Philippines, like Imelda Marcos (RIP). When parsing a Kekel, we never need fabricate irony -- Vic (i think).
Since he acquisitioned Tanya, the only other things I directly know of, which Mike ever gets excited over, is what he buys, sells & builds with church money. Though hidden, we know Mike attacks his personal acquisitions with the same enthusiasm & signs following, based on public online records. With a liberal leavening of leisure time, retractions, deletions, excuses & gaslighting. Now with more workshop, Starbucks, blogs & Television. Hawaii, Arizona, Michigan & Florida. Missouri?, or have they been gone long enough, so no one cares.
If you went to cult college, you've experienced it's lack of intellectual rigor. Bork styles it slouching-toward-Gomorrah. They lecture & you listen through your mental fatigue & writing cramps. You don't ask question, or for clarification, or disagree; with or without proofs. No tests, no quizzes, no papers, no finals. No compositions/essays. Short reading assignments & the Dake chart were the only homework. The chart was easy if you could read a ruler/yardstick, understood scale & weren't color blind.
The reading assigned was also easy if you could read. The college education we payed for in the mid-1990's was, in toto, take notes on the lecture & type them before next class. It has to be assumed with everything else being less spiritual in the new-NTCC, their college is too. I got 4.0's for every class. I ask for my transcripts. A student almost can't help earning straight A's. The standards are nil.
If you can already type (67 wpm since middle school), nothing was challenging about it, unless you had a manual typewriter & other than you might be tired from your day job. 3-hours of lecture a few nights a week was autopilot. Kekel-era Cult ministers spend more time than this watching TV on their smartphones each day. Never had to engage brain. I just studied my notes whenever after they were typed. A double spaced page is about 250 words. The cults 3 page minimum took about 20 minutes on a Selectric.
I rarely typed more than four pages & the 4th page rarely had much on it cuz it was mostly to ensure there was no doubt I typed 3-pages. Cuz I summarized & didn't write when they rambled, soap-boxed or were otherwise off-topic & the amount varied by teacher. Tanya, Gesang, Jordan & Rodger being the worst culprits. I know Kekel was one of my professors, but I have no memory of it. Immemorable teaching, for folks hungry to learn? This's more noteworthy considering Kekel's speaching patterns, vocabulary, illustrations, topics, tirades & timbre are odd, so should be memorable?
We're still relevantly discussing SYNERGY in these paragraphs. Along with many of the things preventing SYNERGY in Graham.
A reason Mike's preaching's immemorable is he claps-back with the same quirt each service, tuning-out's the only relief if you're in the building. Doubles-down at the slightest criticism/questioning. Baring quitting, tuning-outs the only form of self-preservation in a Cult. Called quiet-quitting lately. Any extended beating will cause numbness, but from someone's teaching? His teaching causes mental fog? Yes, he's hypocritical, insulted, angered, unfocused, loud, proud, tone deaf, gaslit, et al. He also doesn't preach Christ? Fascinating - Mr. Spock.
Getting back to nopes, I didn't copy illustrations since they were from Knight's. I had a copy (I just wrote an identifying title) & they illustrated heavily. I didn't write again anything they repeated more than once. An unfocused agenda-driven person will often repeat themselves, so this saved a lot of note taking. I just didn't know then why cult-college professors taught like this.
You can see them unfocus in real time during the NTCC-TV song & dance hour. Maybe you'll get to see Mike scold the song leader & school the paid musicians. So MCK can boss 'em in Graham, but when he bosses them at another ministers church...tut-tut tut. Rude, imperious, bad form. Or, Kinson commandeer the song service so he can show us the right way to sing of/to God? It's bizarre what they're proud of in God's name. It's bizarre how often everyone else don't do it right, while Graham's still not self-supporting; so click to donate. Hypocr'azy paraded as Holy Spirit power on TV. A spectacular fail, framed & gaslit as WE ARE WINNING while preaching folks out the door & building more underutilized stuff. Those who won't build lives, build buildings?
Many students tried word-for-word notes @ sometimes 20+ typed pages per class? They got the same A-grade. Some students knew shorthand & would get 50+ pages typed (for every 90 minute class). I used to read folk's notes to see if I ever missed anything & I never did, so I stopped reviewing other students notes & kept summarizing.
Typing the 2 classes on school nights took 40 minutes without a break. I could finish before I left for class, or while my breakfast was cooking; if I wasn't done or hadn't started. Who can't carve out 20 or 40 minutes? Surely I can. YES YOU CAN too. So, between shower/shave/suit/dinner, the round-trip commute, 2 classes & typing notes it was only 5 hours of tedium for each class night. I usually did my reading assignments at work.
Now there's class 1-day per week? Occasionally sometimes 2? This was accurate when verified, since they edit/delete public records in response to the blogs, to make the blogs appear wrong (i.e. making a lie) & applies to all post on all blogs as applicable. NTCC responded the same way to FACTNet & is the only reason things from Graham HQ become less harsh, ministers grew facial hair, ministers bragged they did their own thing (Briggs, for one example), rules became policy (synonyms) or/& they need more money (mostly this one). They've also dropped a lot of courses? Graduating classes are less than 10, when they were over 70 only 14 years ago. Coinciding with Mike's greater roll/toll as pastor after NTCC Graham went public in 1999. Attendance could easily fit in the old student chapel now. The congregations stolen from the other local churches in 1999 to bolster Graham's money & numbers have mostly quit attending.
Are they using SYNERGY² to streamline their cult processes? Mergers? They could have class after Saturday Blitz. All 2 or 4 classes. 3 or 6 hours on a day already shot through with church stuff, so just stuff more in to free up the work week, win win. Or the cult could do 2 classes on Saturday & 2 on Sunday. Why doesn't NTCC observe the sabbath?
They could distance learn (they already have the NTCC-TV platform for it) & stay at their home churches. They're still not accredited anyway. Folks already know how to blitzkrieg & outwardly get in & could practice-preach on zoom, from their home church. They could name it "NTCC GroomZoom, your portal to misery ministry". Did they ever start using the education center (the puke colored monolith to the left) for more than Davis' classes? I wonder how many folks wonder when they're going to build even more statement real estate? Do the faithful chant BUILD MORE STUFF each conference? Or WE ARE BUILDING? Eagerly wondering what type of building Kekel will have built next? LOOK! WE'RE BUILDING!
Maybe Mike thinks only the dumb need study? Maybe he's already just smart enough? For some, good enoughs good enough & Mike doesn't know when he's had enough. Or what path he's on. Reading's stoopid? Quit means quit? Does he know how to study? It's a learned skill & would enable Mike a better showing on NTCC-TV, blogging & in his secret secular-life. Does he know who he is outside of I MARRIED THE BOSS'S DAUGHTER? Do you know who Mike is when he's outside the fence?
Does he offer anything outside of I MARRIED THE BOSS'S DAUGHTER? Does it make him a better teacher? Preacher? Person? Husband? Christian? Father? Step Father (to Tanya)? If Mike does study, his preaching & teachings extra bizarre. He found his niche (Darwin again, the award would be better) long ago. Settled long ago.
I MARRIED THE BOSS'S DAUGHTER is his pea-patch. The hill he was DOA on. But, how much competence & intellect does it take for a 24 year old man to fellowship a 14 year old girl into his classroom? So, was he also her 7th, 8th &/or 9th grade teacher, or just a College Professor? His position of authority made sex-crime extra illegal. Did Mike struggle with any of this? Did Mike struggle with Tanya? With his conscience? Did Tanya struggle? The fact he followed through with his conquest of Tanya shows he's devoid of conscience & Rodger-Verna are perverse-parents. Sexual perversions also one of the few things counted as go-getting in our cult.
A few others being back-tithing, picking up the tab (for Mike), pulpit bullying, groveling for forgiveness (Mike complains folks don't apologize good enough), gifts & cash (NTCC's a till, so this may be redundant), free labor (for Mike again), expensive gifts (for Roger), real estate (for Roger & Mike), mansions (ibid), luxury vehicles (ibid), ad nauseam (ibid). Is gift guilt part of a cult leaders wheel house? If so, this may be why they're miserable & love company.
The rest of us just struggle with the grossness of this union, as Mike would've if ever a Christian. He ignored much Bible in his I MARRIED THE BOSS'S DAUGHTER merger & acquisition. But NTCC doesn't guard against gluttony or covetousness either. These right-judgments (throughout the entire blog also) & points-for-correction (throughout the entire blog also), are based on the KJV-only. All the blogs, really.
We're still relevantly discussing SYNERGY in these paragraphs. Along with many of the things preventing SYNERGY in Graham.
Since we're not trying to finesse money or brute-force money from folks, we can apply the Bible as written, as God requires, to proper effect. Christians don't gerrymander God's word. Yet all cults curate God's word, in God's name. This's what SYNERGY² does, leads to a greater effect through new combinations. Ignoring nagging concerns (cherry picking & not reading eXer blogs), falsifying case histories (NTCC-TV) & nurturing biases (conference) isn't SYNERGY². Groupthink isn't SYNERGY² & all cults are a herd. There's not innovation from a herd, the rustler controls them.
But, the adaptation of SYNERGY² as a corporate business strategy has been a huge thing world-wide & should never guide a Christian church, ever. No exceptions. There's no valid justification. Even anything like SYNERGY². No leaven allowed. SYNERGY²'s bad for the secular also.
SYNERGY²was the impetus for the international & mega-mergers of the 90's. Oil & gas, electronics, telecommunications, entertainment studios, food chains, retail strategy & continuing to date. Retail once just sold stuff others made. Now LLC's lock down the manufacturing chains for the products they sell, export production, cheat & reduce quality in the name of SYNERGY², e.g. profit. Like the LLC which's called NTCCoA, the consumer now serves the corporation.
Again, oversees factories & labor make this increasingly easy & profitable. Everyone wants to monopolize (more profit), none remember why this's bad (less accountability, less humanity). Too big to fail means it can also cause a lot of damage & exert unconstitutional influences & control in going about its daily business (we've been here for many generations), while very hard to stop. Too big to fail also means to big to resist. Try living an offline life since 2020 CE. Humans operate best in an environment of liberty to pursue a happy life.
SYNERGY on steroids. This's the version NTCC prefers, the cutthroat version, the lots-more-profit version. The take it or leave it version. The 'there's the door' version. Acquisitions & mergers. Hostile takeovers. Conquer, then consolidate. Cash's the underlying motivation for all decisions. Damn the employees, more cash ahead. The technique Davis used to merge NTCC churches local to Graham into the Graham HQ church in 1999. Surprised? Why? This's SYNERGY².
The preachers Davis' stole congregations from were pissed & crushed. Rodger regularly complained their rent kept going up in Parkland (why should he care). Is there a reason Davis cared? Their rent was based on the average per-head size of the congregation from month to month, so Parkland was growing & Davis also had them fudge lower numbers (aka lie) until he could do something about the growth (remember when they stopped counting kids for attendance numbers for a season).
The rent was fine when there were 10, they should have stayed & payed the rent for the 100(s), to be fair. Christians are fair, Davis isn't fair, no exceptions. Davis will never tolerate churches & works he deems more successful than his, especially local to him. Even from different denominations, those he would just maligned & slandered. Mike does the same thing to other denominations churches who're not of the fence. IOW not part of our cult, but local to Graham.
This's also why some folks were reassigned so much. It keeps numbers low for the successful. Saint Louis & Graham had to have the biggest numbers. Go ahead, ask me how I know this about Parkland & numbers. Maybe I'll do a video & post it like folks do lately. It's a lot to type so it'd be easier to share from an outline. We'll see, but likely nope.
It could be a tour through Pierce County, Okinawa, Phoenix, the Philippines, Korea, Woodbrook, Missouri, Leesville, Hinesville & maybe some others & spotlight at least 15 notable reverends. Much of which's contained in this blog. Maybe named the 2KoutrageTOUR. Many ex'rs have big-picture reasoning & experience so can really paint a mural (like on the level of Dake's charts, but regarding NTCC lore). Really connect the dots.
An autodidactic he's long-proved-to-be not. Quit means quit, not conduct - MCK. Did he debase an entire conference & his latest workshop for our cult from this one book? Not the Bible? One witness? Not the Bible? Yada-yada boo-boo. I wonder how many other corporations have done this? Probably lots. Mike's a type. The military was also caught-up in this anti-people frenzy (also in the 90's). The spirit of the Ferengi's what SYNERGY² is & benefits the go-getter as much as & in the same way as a corporate HR & Graham HQ do. See? Another type.
But, like for everything else NTCC, they pretend an altered reality: RESPECT ME, I MARRIED THE BOSSES DAUGHTER! Okay boomer. PASTOR DAVIS' RESPECTS ME (w/optional temple-black foot-stamp)! Yes Sir, Mike sir. Hey, ooh ooh ooh, look over here, WE DO SYNERGY² too. Wonderful. Have a pool-boy bring you another drink. WE ARE WINNING! I'm not tired, no; I'm not tired yetzz ZZZZ zzz SNoRK.
See? It's magic. Our cult's magical. Magic Mike's molesting minions. A new 21st century reality. Like a computer or phone isn't a TV when using a streaming platform. Magical thinking. Like condoms prevent adultery. Like sex-crime's good for preachers only, don't ya know. Like rule & policy aren't synonyms after all. Is ad-ministering the holy-condom a new sacrament? A new sentiment? Nope, it's the same one since 1969. No-change is good for a cult. Another example of groupthink. Maybe they should change their Preparing Youth with Truth in Holy Spirit Power motto since they lack youth, truth & power?
FUN FACT: Did you know? Has Michael heard? Policy & rule are synonyms. So declaring something a rule or policy makes no difference in meaning. A policy's just as binding as a rule. Sorry again Mike. We're all sure you'll keep trying.
How's about morality judges ethics, never the obverse. Morals are never unethical, but 21st century ethics are often immoral, as with all cults. There's no such thing as the ethics-of-morality, it's a straw-man arts-philosophy. Ethics can never judge morality. A cult (or any other business entity) has ethics, but lacks morality to varying degrees, dependent upon what their org ethics are. So they preach org-ethics in place of western-morality.
For a Christian, the Bible's the only arbiter of what's moral & why it disagrees often with what's currently ethical. This's why folks 'morals' are increasingly worse than ever, since morality has become unethical. Faulting (what this blog does) NTCC's sex-crime, gluttony, uncharity & covetousness is unethical in NTCC's corporate culture. If you don't like it there's the door. Ethics are whatever a person wants them to be & why it's a modern-American favorite. Will you ever acknowledge how this works?
But (re sex-crime) if you see it, report it, or turn yourself in; whichever applies. Plus, it's federal law. There's no statute-of-limitations for reporting & prosecuting sex-crime. Plus, confession good, pride bad. Plus, Bible say sex-crime bad & how. Stinky, P U. Just ask Jesus, He'll tell ya. Unless your cult-ethics say sex-crimes no biggie-DA. Rumor, victim testimony & police reports have told us lots of folks have done it. Hopefully still past tense.
We're still relevantly discussing SYNERGY in these paragraphs. Along with many of the things preventing SYNERGY in Graham.
Jesus has been undermined for NTCC's entire existence. Like any cult. This includes by Michael. Like Kekel did to Davis (the first underminer), then to Vic, then to Denis, then to Linda, Jeff & TP (not inclusive). How's about NTCC's ministers & members being undermined during any service?
Remember, ethics oft-times undermines morals? Is this an administrative function? It's Michael's real calling, what he excels at (he's certified, enroll today). Do something you like & you'll never work a day in your life. So, Mike's been on vacation or ministry? Magic or semantics? Church or cult? Espresso or instant? Camps Davis or Kekel (or Youth)? Baloney or prosciutto? They're the same coin & Rodger was there first.
Maybe Jesus-AI would suit Mike's handsy style better? Leave him more time for his hands-on hobbies? They're already a cult, already online, already click-to-donate, already gaming, already streaming, already long compromised. For Mike & NTCC, AI-Jesus is better than Mike being there; but not better than no-Jesus in this case. Molesting's so last season. Isn't it? One can only hope. VHS & DVD are old news; as is boy-sport. Jesus-AI may be the answer. Cult's need the next NEW thing, since the Bible-only is never enough. This's ethics in action.
So, now they're additionally keeping pace with the world through SYNERGY²? Steady progress or latest regress? Hope & change? Nope, no change. So, quick-time march. To-the-rear march. Dopes-on-parade, halt. Left-face. Rest, it's back to business as usual, i.e. you're still in a cult & still handicapped by groupthink. So much for change of direction, for SYNERGY. What more could Mike've done by example (see rule #7 below) to build Graham? The org/borg?
Well, the Kekel's like to be worldly, trendy, fawned over. GIGO. There's Tanya; the soiled princess. When Verna dies, more will leave; like when RWD dies & Tanya will never be Verna. She's barely tolerated by the not-student sisters in Graham cuz I'M THE BOSSES DAUGHTER doesn't play well, especially among forest avenue alumni.
But now, she's barely tolerated only because Verna's still alive; then only disdain for her, no longer hidden; starting at VD's graveside. Stink-eye, side-eye, bizy signal; change-your-seat & go-the-long-way-round-to-avoid-her for evermore. If Tanya invites you over you can say I can't, the Bible (morality) says not to have fellowship with the covetous or glutton. This won't play well in Graham (ethics).
Hopefully Sister Davis doesn't die suddenly & lingers to give folks time to prepare to quit. She got many folks to vow to stay while Davis & now she, is still alive. She's one of the great string-'em-along'rs & gaslight'rs & she owes them this much.
Mike will no longer be protected by Davis' 2-skirts. Mike, who wants to be treated like a go-getter. Mike 3-job, also becoming Mike no-skirt. 3-job-no-skirt? All hat, no cattle? Tin-horn go-getter? Poseur ministrations, preaching tithe & damnation. His corporate power came from Davis. HE MARRIED THE BOSS'S DAUGHTER! Mike's astounding lack (of gravitas also) is all Mike.
We're still relevantly discussing SYNERGY in these paragraphs. Along with many of the things preventing SYNERGY in Graham.
His entire NTCC-TV vibe's swagger & cringe, seethe & wind, huff & swear, bemoan & belittle. Smug & ungrateful, with a ludicrous side of I'm the only go-getter surrounded by pew-sitters & idiots (same as Davis sans the slightest hint of any go-getter testimony), while Sister Kekel comes to sing another solo. Do they still let her sing alter calls? Surely no, now Davis's dead? Bizarre. Otherwise, he/she's just a breeze flappin' in the wind to most paying customers. Same as before Davis' died.
Are the Kekel's a SYNERGY? With their divided loyalties? Even to each-other? But, do they cause SYNERGY? Even accidentally? How's about their flaunted-lifestyle of the rich and impervious? But, look at these sun-glasses? No need to check, they're the latest TicEtsyTocTube influencer trend & needed luxury vehicles to match them for SYNERGY². Shallow's too deep for them. Was their marriage ever a SYNERGY? Did it lessen them each? From the start (this one)? The sum of their combined two's less than their separated ones. 1+1<1 in any business-cult church & all church-cults are business-cults.
Respect me, I MARRIED THE BOSS'S DAUGHTER! That's nothing, make way, stand aside, I'M THE BOSSES DAUGHTER, give me your bread, peasants get cake! Tell 'em Daddy, you only eat pie, I'm the only princess & soloist. Let's boss 'em! We were here first! What a pair. God/Satan made 2 of them?
AI-Jesus may be able to fix NTCC more-better. Only worse? But, they're already a cult, so already mindless & it would free Mike for even more southern-workshop! Better for the Grahamites. Even more side-trips to AZ in their prep for RETIREMENT!tour2027. More online, more TV. More Vaseline, Visine & chlorine. More excess & leisure & shoes, oh my. TV & workshops & skits, oh no.
So, is the timing right for AI-Jesus? It could only help in Graham 'til the Kekel's quit to Arizona. Then ditch AI if they finally get someone focused on ministering-to-others & preaching-Christ at the helm. But, then they wouldn't be a cult. Don't forget sunscreen. They won't even worry about letting the door hit them on the way out, many will hold it for them.
Just turn off the mike Mike, you've caused enough mean scenes--SYNERGY²'s the new plan Grah'm, just get yourself freed (50 ways). But, no chance a member of the ruling family will go gentle into their good night. They gnashed to get there, they'll be gnashing when they leave. Shrill drama queens all. Especially when they're on TV.
I'm sure if NTCC could offer indulgences, they would. Nope, they do this too. Mandatory-tithes a this-for-that indulgence. Magical thinking all around & the rise of AI-Jesus.
All in the above paragraphs must be corrected before they can SYNERGIZE. If it wasn't true, we couldn't report it, so don't Kekel the messenger.
In His Service,
Gregory the Unperturbed
