That is exactly what's happened to you if you've bought off on the most recent statement that Mr. Kekel typed on his blog concerning the reason's that "fellowship meetings" were essentially stopped.
First point: Mr Kekel said that fellowship meetings need to be quote "supervised" by an overseer. So a "pastor" can start a church from scratch, travel all over the world, spend time in the military, supposedly be "called and chosen" by God (according to RWD) to lead souls to a place of eternal peace, and he can't be trusted to meet with others who hold like qualifications to have church without quote "supervision"? You are kidding right? Especially after they did it for decades?
Second point: Mr Kekel said that the primary reason that fellowship meetings were stopped was to "ease the financial burden on the churches". Of course this is after he said that pastors needed to be supervised but I've already left that point. Financial burden? I spent years in the NTCC and fellowship meetings never caused me an additional financial burden? In fact they saved me money. Let me make one thing perfectly clear. If there hadn't been fellowship meetings, I would have spend money on gas driving all over creation that Saturday for a trip to the church in the morning, soul winning, money on food during the at least 6 hour period while we were out, a trip to the determined location where we'd turn in our stupid reports, back home if we even had time and if not, more money spent on another meal, picking up people for church, putting money in the offering, taking people back home and then finally, a trip back to my house. You are kidding right Kekel? I don't care if the fellowship meeting was four hours away. It didn't cost me any more money to go there then it did to stay right were I was at? As far as the actual "church" was concerned, if a preacher loosing the offering money which essentially amounted to the chump change given by the "Saturday's" usual small crowd hurt his wallet, then your system has made him too broke in the first place. I don't buy it Kekel because what you've written makes no sense at all, and I haven't lost my ability or will to think with my brain which you didn't successfully steal from me even though you certainly tried hard enough. That explanation is lame and insulting. If those preachers are that broke, the problem isn't fellowship meetings but rather them needing to get a better job with more hours or get a job period! Oh, but once again it's not about the church members financial stability but about them staying in their own town every Saturday while spending every dime of their own money that the church can suck out of them so the "Church" isn't financially affected!!!!
Third Point: Kekel wrote... "But for some people (referring to the ministers), everything is a burden." Oh really? Boy isn't that an insult!!! These are supposedly Gods elite spokesman who RWD placed according to God's direction in their respective positions and for some of them, "everything is a burden"? Everything is a problem for them, right Kekel? They are complainers, whiners, never happy, right Kekel? So you feel that way but you actually keep these men in positions as pastors and I'm supposed to be stupid enough to believe they are qualified to lead me to heaven? Really?! Are they supposed to be stupid enough to let a spoiled brat like you who has never had to struggle for a dime refer to them like that? That is easy for you to say you pathetic piece of trash. Everything has been handed to you on a platter so you don't know what it's like to have a quote, "burden". Your church was handed to you, your geographical stability was handed to you, all the tithe money was handed to you, an exemption of all the rules that applied to other NTCC children was handed to you. You don't know what a burden is or what it's like to struggle Mr Kekel, so therefor you can even relate to their "burdens". You better believe everything is a burden when you encourage them not to work, while pioneering a church with a wife and kids under toe, while at the same time they are sending half the money that comes into their church up to Graham to fund your son's $80,000 high school education and secular Catholic college. That would be a burden for me also!!! Makes me sick.
Forth point: Kekel said a few preachers strove over who was leading service, whose wife would sing and who would preach. So you stopped a practice that's existed for decades because of a "few" preachers conduct? Sounds like a knee jerk mass punishment to me. Frankly I witnessed some of the same but my question is, what makes you, Mr. Kekel, qualified to judge those other pastors? Kekel's spoiled wife was handed every microphone that ever came anywhere near her on a platter and so was Kekel, even though he doesn't preach nearly as effectively as many others I've heard. And not only that, but if that is the way Kekel and RWD feels about so many NTCC pastors, why in the world would they even leave them in church leadership positions? Because it ain't about souls if you guys and your wives are that petty and they know it. It's about the expansion of their real-estate empire at whatever cost. How on Gods green earth is a pastor supposed to lead souls to heaven if those are the things he's worried about. Kekel dogged you guys out, plain and simple and don't say, "none of that applies to me" because it certainly was directed at a whole lot more than just one, or they wouldn't have canceled fellowship meetings altogether unless there is "SUPERVISION".
Fifth point: The truth of the matter is, I don't believe any of the reasons he gave are the "MAIN" reason they stopped fellowship meetings without the presents of "supervision". Too many people are leaving the NTCC and they don't want you guys talking in the absence of supervision, plain and simple. It's called censorship or information control; cult 101. They know that when you guys are allowed to talk freely, in the absence of supervision, you'll learn how crooked they are and wind up leaving the NTCC just like MDR, Barnes, Granger, Scrivins and all the rest. If so many of you guys are as ate-up as Kekel suggested, why in the world do they even keep you or your associates as pastors? Do you actually believe that the kind of conduct that Kekel described is going to get people to heaven? If you do, you are one seriously mislead, blind leading the blind individual, and that is why I left the NTCC.
