The reason that Mike posts in this matter is simply damage control. Before the internet, and the ongoing communication between people that have left NTCC, when someone would leave it was easy for NTCC to totally revile, and dis-credit them in front of everyone, because that individual did not have a voice. It was simply Davis's word against there's, and when all you hear is one side of the story you tend to be bias in what you believe.
But now that the internet is here, and people have a mode of communication THAT CANNOT BE STOPPED! All of the fears, and doubts, and speculations, are brought to light because people are able to communicate and see that they are not the only ones that feel that way, have seen harm done to others, and are now able to see that other people feel the same way.
FACTNET, Tracy's Blog, Jeff's Blog, and now Deborah's blog, have committed no type of lie whatsoever! They have simply pulled back the curtains and have revealed NTCC for what they truly are.... they have simply just shared their negative experiences, and people that are still in NTCC are reading it, and beginning to realize that they are not alone. That someone else, has witnessed the abuse, that someone else, feels that it is a cult, that someone else thinks this, or that is not right. And NTCC hates this! They want to do everything they can to try and shut us up!
But the problem is, people are going to continue to read, and see that they are not the only ones that think like this. Mike can post all the anti-damage blogs he wants, Davis can bellow and scowl all he wants, he can have Rev. Ashmore preach every revival possible, but it will never do away with the fact that people have witnessed it themselves, and then they read that someone else has seen it, then they begin to realize how bad NTCC really is.
People in NTCC aren't stupid, just scared! Scared to leave! The only way NTCC will ever move ahead is to repent of the evil they have done to people today! The convert that they win tomorrow who has never seen the abuse will truly be able to say that they never witnessed it. But as far as those that post on here, such as Deborah, and the people in NTCC that have seen it also, their is no amount of damage control possible that can do away with what people have experienced. Mike you are going to have to simply clear the slate, do right, and then you will be able to say you are not guilty of any of the accusations made against you. But for the record there are to many people that have seen to much!
