EXTRA, EXTRA, READ ALL ABOUT IT!

Here is another chance to get the word out about what the NTCC is really all about. An article about the NTCC has been written in "The Dispatch", (A South Pierce County Washington Newspaper). At the bottom of the article is an "Article Comment Submission Form" that will allow you to voice your feelings about the NTCC. I think this a good thing however we will see. Attached below is a link.

Some folks have already posted their comments and I believe the word is getting out. Many of us know that the NTCC is a destructive cult who's primary goal it to control peoples lives so they can gain control of their money. The NTCC has always hated publicity because they have a whole bunch of bones that they don't want to have let out of the closet. This newspaper will certainly get the word out to the Pierce county residents. What the newspaper editor leaves out we can include by submitting our comments. The most important types information we can add are known facts. True, first hand testimonies will open the eyes people more than non quantifiable jargon such as the NTCC being a cult. Yes that is true but why is the NTCC a cult. I included some facts with my submission. The train is slow folks but I believe we are making progress. The NTCC has done much irreversible damage to the lives of many people and the word needs to continue to get out.

On a side note. Soon I'm going to visit my Mom and it's good not only to have the time, (because it won't be wasted on yet another blow hard conference) but I no longer feel the need to explain my itinerary to some narcissistic, control monger of an NTCC pastor. Thank God that he woke me up long enough to see that those days needed to be over.

A Concerned Mom

A few days ago I received a call from a woman who was concerned that her son had gotten involved with HOP. She had been reading this blog, Debs blog, factnet, and other websites which expose the NTCC. She was able to conclude that HOP was no more than a branch of the NTCC. The HOP leadership has brainwashed her son into believing that his Mom is being used by the devil and as a result he very rarely goes to visit her. As usual he believes and tells her that she is quote, "not saved" or right with God, and that she essentially doesn't understand what Christianity is all about. This young guy believes that Denis is some kind of prophet. Needless to say the HOP has this young man quite mixed up and thoroughly confused. Of course he doesn't see it that way and it is such a shame. The Mom is quite heart broken over the whole situation and I don't blame her.

This isn't the first time that I've received a call from a concerned Mom who's son has got all mixed up with either HOP or the NTCC. I see the two organizations as equally destructive, one being no better or worse than the other. If I could consider one organization worse I would definitely say it would be the NTCC because RWD molded and formed Denis and therefor RWD created HOP with his own wicked example.

This Concerned Mom didn't know which way to turn so she contacted me with the hope that I could provide her with some helpful information. The sad part is I don't know if I was able to help her at all? I was going to take a shot at talking to her Son but if I did that, the effects could potentially wind up far more negative than positive. The woman's son could possibly decide to thoroughly alienate his mom then, (more so than he already has) because of course he would know that she gave me his phone number. I can't really divulge much more of the conversation we had because if I did, I would risk revealing his moms identity and consequently risk doing more damage to an already shaky relationship between the Mom and her Son.

Churches like this are so destructive, but it's seems apparent that the majority of them are here to stay. Many cults have been around for a long time and I'm sure they've done as much damage to good loving families as the NTCC or HOP. I know this blog has helped folks see the light and I may never see the doors of the NTCC shut but I can surely reduce the traffic that goes in those doors while causing an increase to the number of people who walk out of those doors never to return.

I hope this mom's son will see the light sooner than later and leave HOP for good.
