A Complete Lack Of Wisdom

A while back, Mike Kekel wrote an article on his blog called "Ain't Misbehaven".  Yesterday, Don and I were talking on the phone, and we were both astounded that Mike would even publish and openly display such information.  Approximately one year ago I posted an article referencing what Mike wrote titled "The Irony Of It All".  Directly below is a link which will take you straight to that article.

Anyway, I wanted to repost what M.C. Kekel wrote because I'm still amazed  that he'd be so careless as to throw his father-in-law, RWD under the bus in such a fashion.  Either that, or it's part of yet another New Testament Christian Church master plan to allow in what they've called "compromise" for decades. 

M.C. Kekel wrote...

"I do not make the rules, and have only recently had opportunity to affect them. In the past I have only been in the unfortunate position of having to enforce them. That doesn't mean I agreed with them. If so be they were mistakes, they weren't mine. As for the church organization? I have nothing to do with policies and doctrines of the organization concerning things like TV (which ministers aren't to have if they carry license in NTCC- unless it is solely as a gaming monitor or something, and not connected to TV input) and couldn't change them if I wanted to. If that gets changed, Rev. Olson will have to do it by mandate or through board approval. I have no such power. Even in the Bible School realm I am limited."

"My influence on the bible school rules has only been to lighten them, not increase them. Further, since I wasn't a bible school student during that time, I was not UNDER those rules. The sports rule was not bible based to begin with, and was for bible school students. Not me."

These statements absolutely amaze me!!!!!! They're jaw dropping.  I don't know how anyone in the New Testament Christian Church could ignore these statements if they have a conscience or any intelligence and common sense.  Do you really trust the NTCC leadership with the task of guiding you to heaven?  Really?  There are two people who are key leaders in the NTCC;  R.W. Davis and M.C. Kekel.   These statements (written by one NTCC executive board member, namely M.C. Kekel) made a complete mockery of the Founder of the NTCC, namely R.W. Davis.  Who do you think came up with all the rules and or endorsed every last one?  RWD!!!   Basically Mike wrote, (and of course I'm paraphrasing here) that he was the unlucky scapegoat who had the dubious distinction of having to enforce a bunch of bogus rules that he didn't agree with and had nothing to do with in the first place.   Boy if that ain't throwing RWD, and the rest of the general board under the bus, I don't know what in the world is?  

Listen here people and please listen good.  Armed with this information, I'd have no reason to believe that God inspired one single rule that RWD ever spewed out of his big fat mouth.   "Ask permission to go visit who"?  "Ask permission to stop where"?  "Ask permission to accept a job"?  "Ask permission to date or talk to who"?  "Stand against the wall just to talk to a woman"?  "You said it's a sin for all women to work"?  "Where is that rule found in the Bible, Proverbs 31"? "REALLY, ARE YOU SERIOUS, ARE YOU KIDDING ME"?  

Obey them that have rule over you?  When I know that they have a history of coming up with a bunch of stupid rules that Kekel doesn't even agree with, and he considers himself as being unfortunate for even having to enforce them?  REALLY?  Huh!!  Never again.   I'm a grown man with a family to look out for.   You can follow a bunch of stupid rules and con artists if you want to but I'm not the one.

Cha Chief, Cha Chief, Cha Chief Chief Chief  

P.S.  I wouldn't follow M.C. Kekel or RWD to find a toilet (say no less as spiritual leaders) if I had diarrhea blowing out my butt like it was shot out with an air compressor at 200 PSI.  

Saturday College Football

Life is good.  Me my boy and my beautiful wife are watching College football.   It's that time of the year.  Thanksgiving is coming and fall is almost here.  This is my favorite time of the year and I am truly blessed.   Good food in the house, a loving family.  What more could you ask for?  God has been good to me.  Today is a beautiful day; around 71 degrees in Southern Georgia. A little windy though at about 20 mile an hour.  Maybe I'll take my wife out to a nice restaurant today.   Money sure is not an issue.   It can't get much better than this.  I'm just so happy right now I'm smiling inside.  Thank you Lord for looking out for me and my family and for providing us such a great life.  I don't guess I deserve it but I'm not going to complain.  Life will throw you some ups and downs so take the good while you can and enjoy it as life is short and tomorrow ain't promised.  My little boy makes me so happy.  

If you don't have children, your missing out on a TRUE BLESSING FROM THE LORD.  The real deal.  My little boy makes me so happy it's unbelievable.  He is the greatest blessing and joy.  God is good.  Life outside the NTCC is absolutely gerrrrrate like Tony the Tiger.  This post will only stay on top today and then I'll knock it down a few notches.  I just felt like expressing how happy I am.   Hey, me and my little boy just ate a couple big green salads.  He likes Zesty Italian and I like Hidden Valley Ranch.  We eat the salads in big ceramic bowls.  Makes the salad taste better than plastic bowls.  You know what I'm talking about.  Just took a pound of Oscar Mayer oven roasted turkey breast out of the big upright freezer.  Me and my boy like deli sandwiches with the good meat.  Sliced turkey and sliced chicken breast; the deli fresh kind.  

Only the best for my little boy.  Life is too good.   If you are in the NTCC and you aren't living like me and my little boy you need to ask yourself why?  The Good Lord is blessing me, why ain't he blessing you?  I'm not talking about no bargain basement deli meat.  I'm talking about the good kind.   Low fat baby.  0% saturated fat.  I don't think you NTCC dudes know what I'm talking about.  The Lord doesn't have me worried about what I throw in the grocery basket.  I'm almost out of lettuce and I'm totally out of fresh carrots and tomato's.   I'll have to make a trip to the grocery store cause my little boy needs his green salad just about every day.  Life is good.  Oh, he is not drinking all that high sugar NTCC Kool-aid either.   Only real fruit juice.  The kind you NTCC folks don't get during fellowship. Kekel and Kinson get the good stuff.  Some of the other well-off pastors get the good stuff also.  Your dollar.   The crooks get the good stuff and the struggling church members and struggling ministers drink Kool-aid.

1 NTCC Chapter 6:66: That they may teach the young women to be keepers at home, unless they are real estate agents and owners / managers of rental properties while employing their husbands as maintenance men or if they serve as NTCS teachers. Under only those conditions may they keepest a job lest they transgress and livest in sin.

 
Recently we learned that a former NTCC lay pastor by the name of Kelly Merz, murdered a women in an apartment that is owned by Mr. Merz ex-wife, Cherlyn Merz.   Information surrounding this tragedy can be found by clicking on the below linked Mountain News - WA article.  

http://themountainnewswa.net/2011/09/17/update-on-lewis-homicide-shooter-had-strong-ties-to-graham/

The interesting part of the article has nothing to do with the murder.   It has to do with Cherlyn Merz association with the NTCC and more specifically R.W. Davis.  It was reported in the article that the NTCC sends Ms. Merz  a steady supply of tenants from the NTCC.   The article also said that RWD instructed NTCC students, who felt they could buy a house should do so through Mrs. Merz.  My question is why?  Who is Ms Merz to RWD?  

Ms Merz left the NTCC years ago so why would the NTCC send her a steady supply of tenants?  The article said that Ms. Merz at some point in time paid tithe to the NTCC, no doubt from her real estate business proceeds.   First off, why did the NTCC leadership condone Ms Merz having a job when it is commonly taught that it's a sin for a women to work?    She would be considered a sinner according to the NTCC leadership by all accounts.   So being that she would clearly be considered a sinner by the NTCC leadership, why would the NTCC support her sinful endeavors by providing her with a steady supply of tenants?   The only logical answer is quid pro quo, (you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours).   

RWD doesn't own enough rental properties to rent to and make extra money off of all the NTCCers in graham and not only that some NTCCers have no desire to rent from RWD anyway.  So what is the next best solution.   Send them to rent from someone who would pay tithe to the NTCC on all the proceeds. Quid pro quo.  Doesn't matter if it's a woman.  You Sisters are really getting played if you don't get a job now with all this information.  Not only that, Ms Merz could use the tithe as a tax write off.   Then, even though Mr. and Mrs Merz got divorced she could still use her ex husband (Kelly Merz) to maintain her properties while he delivered pizza on the side for extra money.  Sounds like old Kelly Merz was getting used by everyone.   NTCC gets extra money from an NTCC qoute "sinner" woman who shouldn't have ever had a job in the first place (according to NTCC commonly known standards)  and Ms Merz would be provided an endless supply of tenants, compliments RWD and the NTCC.   Forget holiness or abstaining from the very appearance of evil.  This agreement will work.  

So Kelly Merz was being used and so was everyone who the NTCC sent to rent from Ms. Merz.   You better believe that somehow the NTCC and or RWD got kickbacks in some form or fashion from Ms. Merz or Ms Merz had something on RWD and a constant flow of tenants was simply used to keep her mouth shut, one or the other. The NTCC wouldn't send NTCCers to rent from an EXNTCC SINNER WOMAN if somehow it didn't benefit them.   Not only that, Kelly, who was no longer a member of the NTCC was constantly associated with the NTCC tenants because he was the maintenance man.  Why would the NTCC leadership want that when you know they constantly try  and keep their faithful people away from exNTCCers.     Sounds fishy to me?  If it swims like a fish and smells like a fish then you better believe it's fishy for a reason.  

You know what, I'm sick of not getting a piece of the cash from all these suckers.  I need to go to Graham and buy a few four-plexes and then here is what I'll do.  Contact Kekel and tell him if RWD will send me a constant supply of tenants to rent from me, I'll take down this blog for good and leave no trace and I'll pay his org tithe so I can have a good tax write off.   Believe me this blog costs the NTCC a lot of money.  There is no telling how many NTCCers have left the org and how much tithe they've lost as the direct result of this blog.  

Hey Kekel, here is another offer.  You want this blog down and gone without a trace?  Call me with a monetary figure and if it sounds good, this blog will be gone and I'll never post another message for good.   NTCC tithe payer money hard at work.  Quid pro quo.  Don't forget the fresh supply of trusty NTCC tenants in Graham for my new four-plex.   Hey, it's pretty clear that these NTCC people are going to continue to be suckers so why shouldn't I get a piece of the pie, Ms. Merz does.  Everyone wants to make money off of NTCC people. RWD rents to them, gets work out of them, they pay tithe, they rent from Ms Merz, they clean Kekels house, they do things around RWDs house, shine shoes, give special offerings, stand guard around the compound.  These folks like being used. It's in there new nature, you know the brainwashed one.   Well it's time for me to get a piece of the pie, I'm tired of being the nice guy.  I only accept cash, you know like RWD on his rental properties.  That way no one would ever be able to prove the NTCC paid me to take this blog down and I'd never admit it.   

Mr. Kekel, don't worry about your people getting suspicious when this blog is gone because  I openly made such an offer right here.   Give them some ridiculous explanation for why my blog got coincidentally taken down right after I made this offer.  Tell them that the Lord warned me in a dream or something.  In fact here is a good plan.  Prophesy to the church saying, "The Lord told me by sunrise this Friday, Jeff Collins blog would be gone forever" and then send me the money.   I'll take it down by Friday 6:00am on the money, they'll buy off on it, you'll be a great prophet and I'll get paid and you won't have to worry about this blog tormenting you anymore.  Quid pro quo.  

Your people are so brainwashed they'd buy off on any explanation.  They bought off on Olson's most ridiculous explanation of the land deal where the NTCC donated you and Mrs. Kekel 39 acres of land valued in 2008 at $373,000 dollars.   If they bought off on Olson's lame explanation, they'll buy off on anything.  Remember, I only accept cash.  NO CHECKS.  I learned well from RWD.   You want this blog down or what?

A Group That Tries To Seperate You From Your Family. Maybe A Cult, Do You Think? Chances Are That's What You've Got

In the previous thread Edward wrote...

My mother died 11 years ago and my father-in-law died 10 years ago. I literally cry when I think of how I wasted the last few years I had with them by being dedicated to those who absolutely could care less about me. I was only a tithe check and a warm body to forget about when I had enough of the bondage. My mother and I were really close before my coming to NTCC.  And for those of you that will say that it is not NTCC fault, I beg to differ. My pastor of the serviceman's home would constantly share stories of those that went to visit family and would stop serving God. During Bible School they warned us that our family could lead us away from God. That will make anyone cut off their relationship with their family.

Yes Edward, the NTCC leadership constantly taught that you should distance yourself from your family.  I had a pastor who didn't even think it was a good idea for me to visit my family prior to going oversees for 3 years.   They tell you that your Mother and Father are the devil.  The NTCC leadership has always equated leaving their church with leaving God.  There could be nothing further from the truth.  Leaving the NTCC is the best way to find God.  One regret that is uniformly shared by virtually everyone who leaves the NTCC is the sorrow they experience as a result of how they treated their family while they were a part of the NTCC cult.  

Do yourselves a favor NTCC people.  When some NTCC leader tells you that you shouldn't go visit your family or to distance yourself from your family, you need to tell them to back off and mind their own business.  Then when they blast you from the pulpit because of it, you need to stand right up during that very service and blast them right back.   Unless your NTCC pastor leaves the NTCC the same time you do, he won't be there for you.  Take that one to the bank.  When you've had enough of the NTCC and you leave, in most cases, your family will be there for you.  You better think about it real hard or you will have the same regrets that Edward and I have one day.  Either listen to me now or you'll learn the hard way.  Tell the NTCC leadership that the relationship you have with your family is none of their business and they need to BUTT OUT.  

That is one of the biggest problems with so many in the NTCC leadership.  They are a bunch of busy bodies who concern themselves with entirely too much that has nothing to do with them.   Your Mother and Father took care of you when you couldn't take care of yourself.  The Bible says you should honor your mother and father.   Involvement with the NTCC is not a justifiable cause for you to throw that commandment completely out the widow.   Unless you had a Mother or Father with some serious issues, the NTCC leadership will NEVER love you as much as your Mother and Father have.   The fact is, the love the NTCC leadership has for you is conditional anyway.  Pay tithe and we will act like we love you.  Stop paying tithe and there is the door.  Stop being a blind zombie and there is the door.  Start thinking for yourself and there is the door.  You call that love?  When your Mother and Father were putting food on the table because you couldn't provide for yourself, their only concern wasn't much money you could bring into their house.  In contrast, the money you bring into the NTCC is Davis' only concern and you are seriously delusional if you believe otherwise.
