This web site is the outcome of an investigation into "Messianic
Evangelicals", "Mishpachah
Lev-Tsiyon", "NCCG", a small,
polygamous religious group or "cult" with a self-styled apostle/prophet
who has been its effective leader since its inception. The Messianic
Evangelicals/Mishpachah Lev-Tsiyon core
members live in a small compound in a semi-rural area near
Arvika, Sweden.
The Messianic Evangelicals cult was recently known as Mishpachah
Lev-Tsiyon and has had many names throughout its lifetime. It was
prominently named "NCCG" or "New
Covenant Church of God" until Fall of 2006. Much of the documentation
on this site refers to the cult by its "NCCG" name.
My investigation was initiated in mid-2005 and concluded around 2008. I
have come to the opinion that this
group
should be classified as "destructive" when viewed in the context of the
criteria defined by the Cult Education Institute (http://www.rickross.com/warningsigns.html).
I sometimes update this web site when new information
warrants it, but in general, I think there is plenty of material
gathered within the 2005-2008 timeframe to help people make
better-informed decisions about the cult.
This cult has changed its methods of operation during its long lifetime
(1984 - present), and seems likely to continue morphing in different
ways in the future.
As of the 2005-2008 timeframe, most of the Messianic
Evangelicals/Mishpachah Lev-Tsiyon recruitment of new
members was done using the internet, and a smaller amount was being
done by
word-of-mouth by members in areas of the world other than Arvika,
Sweden. Recruitment tended to focus on Christians and ex-Mormons who
have converted to Christianity. Men and married women were usually
maintained as internet-only members who
participate in the cult's internet message boards and internet chat,
whereas single women were sometimes targeted for recruitment into
the core group (which entails living at the Messianic
Evangelicals/Mishpachah Lev-Tsiyon compound as one
of the wives of the cult leader).
If you happen to visit the NCCG web site (www.nccg.org), be aware that
they may be keeping IP logs of their site visitors. Due to this, you
may wish to use an internet anonymizing service. This in particular
applies to parents or other concerned
individuals who are investigating Mishpachah Lev-Tsiyon/NCCG in regard
to a current member or associate. Some free anonymizers that could be
used are: http://www2.shadowsurf.com/cgi-bin/nph-shadowsurf.cgi/000000A/http/www.nccg.org/

As every good teacher knows, you have to let your students surpass you
and let them go. Cult leaders cannot do this. Independence of their
followers is poison to them; holding on to them is poison to both.
It is fine to love and respect a great teacher or guru from whom you
have learned; even honoring them is appropriate. But to elevate a man
to the level of worship has always led to corruption. Just look at the
history of Rome and the Ceasars. (Great video - "I Claudius" or
Gibbon's book, "Reflections on the Fall of Rome").
The main crime perpetuated by cult leaders is how they promote self
doubt, how they undermine your own sense of self efficacy, your own
inner authority and worth. The concept that you can not know God or
advance spiritually except through someone else is a core belief that
ensnares every cult follower. It's fine to seek out teachers and
authorities and learn from them, but within a cult, a pathetic
relationship is fostered by cult leader with the followers. It
undermines all innovation, growth, creativity, freedom, and life. In
the end, we are all just ordinary men and women, and we are all equally
capable of extraordinary things if only we have the courage and self
confidence. It is this very courage and self confidence that is
targeted by every cult and cult leader. The only difference is how the
paper mache mask is painted. Underneath each mask lies the same
creature.
