I have been tied up myself and am only now able to respond.

Physicists will say all kinds of things in a popular forum. Do you have any references to textbooks or peer-reviewed paper?
Even on physicists' blogs, I have never seen any reference to three different event horizons, so if you have any specific ones you can point to, it would really help me to understand what you are talking about.
> Are you then saying that all the physicists who say time stops here as viewed from outside are wrong?
If any of them actually are saying that, yes, they're wrong. But I doubt you'll be able to find any textbooks or peer-reviewed papers that say that. I don't care what pop science sources say; they're not valid sources for learning the actual science.
> The theoretical basis for "black holes" is an eternal universe with a single mass in it.
No, it isn't. You are confusing an idealized model used for pedagogy with actual models used to make predictions about actual objects observed by astronomers.
> I have no issue with there being large gravitational entities. i do however have an issue with the declarations that said entities are "black holes".
If you want to be very careful, you could say that black holes are the only entities consistent with our current theories that these "large gravitational entities" could be. It is true that our current theories are incomplete, and it could be true that a more complete theory would tell us that these entities are not anything like our current model of black holes. But even if that happens, it won't be for any of the reasons you are giving.
> Single mass existing only, asymptotically flat universe are just two of the fundamental assuptions required.
Again, you are mistaking an idealized model used for pedagogy with the real models used to make predictions about real observations. The latter do not depend on any such assumptions for the universe as a whole. They only require that a suitable region of spacetime around the object being studied contains only that object (or objects--models of this sort are used to make predictions about multi-object systems such as binary pulsars, for example, as well as black holes) and becomes flat enough at its boundary for asymptotic flatness in the model to be a reasonable approximation. These conditions are certainly met by the objects and systems to which the real models in question are applied.
