NTCC Games; sneak n peak

Ok, I know this is silly, BUT I was curious what would be said and though I expected to hear something along these lines, I still didn't expect to hear this:

So there is someone I knew who is still in the cult, that is still in denial that it's a cult, that unfriended me from FB. And really, I am ok with it. I was however, curious why this person would try to friend my boys after unfriending me. I thought does this person want to save my boys from the vortex black whole of apostate they think I am? Seriously?  I couldn't resist asking a question to this person to see if that was what they thought.

Keep in mind - what I asked seems silly, BUT I know this person well enough to know a simple question wouldn't get answered by her. I knew I'd have to ask a off the collar, thought provoking question to get an answer. So, I sent a message to this person and said, ' What are the top 3 things you dislike about me the most'? (I expected something about me leaving).  I knew that IF they responded, they'd give a circled song and dance. I wasn't looking for something to post. I wasn't looking to mend the past. I was just curious what the mind set was. My boys can care less about this person anyway. They don't play the ntcc hunger games! 

The response came, indicating they are trying to follow God and not those things that would keep them from their goal. Yeah, ok, whatever, because I'm such an apostate now that I don't attend that cult. But then she said: "I have no bitterness or hatred toward no man, I cleared that out of my heart. Neither have I wrote a blog to speak no evil towards no man."

OMG folks, I almost fell out of my chair when I saw that. Seriously. SO I have ONE question. Why mention anything with a blog? PLEASE don't tell me you or any other member of that cult would be a hypocrite - they aren't sneaking a peek are they? Are you? You better go put more money in the offering basket and pray your sins are forgiven for doing such a terrible act!  Don't worry, I won't tell on you though . . . . . b/c you "Weren't reading this anyway".

Ok, I'm sarcastic but COME ON. I am sick and tired of the way this cult teaches them to be hypocrites. I LOVE what I saw D n A say - with REAL Christians, what you see is what you get. AMEN and AMEN. 

And why did she have to clear their heart of bitterness? I cleared my heart of bitterness since I left that cult. Guess what - I no longer have bitterness. If you have bitterness it's called what you see is what you get!

Ok I have a set of scriptures - I was only going to reference vs. 36-40 below BUT a lot of this reminds me of them cult folk:

Matthew 22: 21-29 & 36-40


They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.
22 When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.
23 The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,
24 Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
25 Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother:
26 Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.
27 And last of all the woman died also.
28 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.
29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
……… 36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

 Just like the cult they marvel at words they should receive but don't want to hear/believe.  Then just like the Sadducees, they marry, remarry, and remarry. I think they just can't wait for the next death or divorce to get the recycled bride. Seriously SMH!  THANK GOD there is no marriage in heaven. If any of the cult makes it to heaven, can you imgaine the fights, no she's my wife - well I married her first??!!

The best part here is vs. 36-40. The only commandments herein we must live by, Post JESUS is to love the Lord with all your heart and love your neighbor. If you love God, you'll want to love your neighbor and love them to Him. You won't want to force them or hate them if they don't follow your cult or if they leave your cult. I don't really care if they hate me. I don't want anyone thinking they need to save my boys from me b/c I don't attend or follow the cult ways anymore either! Yes, I have a new hair do, jewelery, and even makeup. AND I'm not going to hell either. I love God and have more peace in my life now than I ever did! My youngest son, who I thought would be the hardest for me to connect with is being inspired by the changes in my life. THANK YOU JESUS! I couldn't have said that before while I attended this cult.

Don't judge us folks b/c we don't attend your cult any more and I won't judge you for still being there, or for sneaking a peek at our blogs. God loves you. All He wants is your fellowship and love. He doesn't want you to live a ritualistic, legalistic life. You don't have to go the martyrs way. Go God's way!

Publically forbidden; privately approved!

One day (time frame irrelevant) I met with a dear friend of mine, also an Xer. She has children who happen to still attend NTCC after she left. One of her children was engaged to be married. The fiancĂ© to this party had been previously married. The ex-spouse abandoned and left the relationship and children. This single parent has been raising the children. My friends’ child would happily marry and become a part of their life and begin a new family.

As plans were being made, clothing purchased for the big event, etc. Mr. Sneak & Don’t tell Kinson told this young couple, ‘well I don’t know if you two would be living in sin because this one was married before; so we can’t marry you two in the chapel, BUT I’ll marry you in my office.’ WHAT – WHAT?? Really??? IF, IF they were indeed doing something against God, IF they were indeed going to be married in sin, HOW, PLEASE tell me HOW would marrying them in the secretive walls of your office will make it right? Please – I’d love to know how.  Would you have acted like you didn’t do it and let the people judge as they will? Because you and your people DO judge.

That’s one of the biggest problems YOU ALL JUDGE. I have one tip, one word of advice. It is in verse 5 below:

Matthew 7:1-5:
Judge not, that ye be not judged.
For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

HYPOCRITE get the hypocrisy out of your own life FIRST then you will see God is a God of grace, love, and mercy. WHO are you to judge? NTCC’er – WHY do you judge? If you’re still in and judging others – you’re no more saved than your borg leaders. You all talk about those of us who left and got true salvation, but why don’t you ask your leaders why doing something like this is okay? I’d love to know why myself. You won’t get an answer.

I don’t judge them for being married. It’s not my job to do. In fact, I pray that God will bless them and that they grow in His grace, love, and mercy. I pray they will find true peace and happiness and never again return to NTCC. I’m happy for them they married AND they didn’t get married at NTCC. Fortunately the families both said NO we want to see you get married not stand in some office. Another church welcomed them in to use their facility. They didn’t judge them. They welcomed them, the way a church should do.
