"Thanks for posting this site. Its about time".
"Good Stuff! I will tell everyone about you."
"On the front of Rick Ross's
web page states " This web site was created to offer the public a resource of
information concerning controversial and/or potentially unsafe groups-- as well as some
groups that have been called "cults". This web site gives
information about Rick Ross being a convicted felon, a
kidnapper......... I personally think that RickRoss's
intentions are not "lets get the facts straight" Its more like, I
want to keep my personal life and past quiet.
If in fact the information about Rick Ross is correct, the
public has a right to the resource of information concerning controversial and/or
potentially unsafe "Expert Consultant and Intervention Specialist." It's not a
matter of lets see if we can make each other "not look so bad". If the facts are
true, people need to know. Let the truth stand".
"Dear brother in Christ I'm glad to see that someone has made an effort to put together such a great site on Rick Ross Ive been doing some reading up on our church (after coming back from a conference) and was shocked to find what was written hopefully this might have a positive impact keep up the good work."
"I am writing out of curiousity, and also concern, who is the right person to believe. Please write back".
"I like your Rick Ross page. I am leaving JPUSA this next month and He still will not remove lies about my wife and I and JPUSA. Here is my Reply to Rick Ross page". Marty Phillips http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Amphitheatre/6262/jpusa.html or http://www.geocities.com/urbanpage.geo/jpusa.html
"I just wanted to write you and thank you for wonderful site about Rick Ross. I will be linking to it from my own webpage."
"Dear brother/sister
Rick Ross needs Jesus we have had some bad experience in
churches and everyone needs to have there say. If we have nothing to hide then we
have never to worry about but i know when i left the (church
name supplied) i was treated very unfairly and i did write to mr ross
about my story but at the end of day i have forgiven the (church name supplied)
and just want people to know that jesus loves us all."
"I recently heard Rick Ross on a popular Philadelphia Rock Radio station. he was hailed as a "hero" by the unknowing or simply misinformed broadcasters. They referred listeners to his site and praised his tactics...... I had my reservations about Ross and was curious about other serious cult watchdog groups."
"Thank you for being very honest with me, and I hope that this man (Rick Ross) will stop this tatic to suck me and others in. Some might think this is a listening homepage where people just need to be hear and want counselling or something. Well thanks a lot. Happy easter and God bless you!"
Thanks so much for the book referral and the notes regarding Rick Ross' site and "stance." I appreciate your suggestions and thoughtful commentary. I will follow your advice and read the book and let you know how all goes.
"....I understand your concern regarding Rick Ross, but even with all the bad you say he has done and his " checkered past, he is exposing christian cults...."
"I met Rick Ross once in the fall of 1985, and he seems to me like a modern day crusader against Christianity. He is humorless and comes across as being some what of a "glory dog.""
".....If you had a long chat with Rick Ross like I did, you'd realize he's just a passive aggressive opportunist, with an over active imagination, and a very big vendetta against God. Don't waste your time wishing you could meet him, he's about exciting as a used sock salesman in the middle of a K-Mart store. I was underwhelmed by my encounter with him; and quickly forgot about it, until I read your accurate portrayal of him on the internet."
"....After reading some of Rick
Ross' Web site regarding the Landmark Forum (I found it by doing a general search
on the Forum, as a friend of mine has just become quite heavily involved and I had some
concerns about his newfound fervor) I did some general research on Mr.
Ross himself, as I always believe in checking my sources, and found in turn
your site. After reading it, I have to say that while you seem to have a surfeit of
enthusiasm for criticizing Mr. Ross, you do very little to
devalue what he had to say about Landmark or on his site in general. I am now in
possession of a large number of unsavory facts about Mr. Ross
thanks to you, but given that the vast majority of the materials on his site are in fact
external links or reader-submitted texts (and are, in fact, not overwhelmingly negative at
all) I am forced to conclude that while he may have a checkered past, it does that all
content he presents is wrong. I have a strong suspicion, in fact, that your site has been
set up by one of the groups open to criticism on his site. I encourage you to consider the
wealth of information that Mr. Ross has no apparent
connection to that has been made easily available on his Web site, and that he is
performing an invaluable service to the communiy at large. The lack of your name and group
affiliations (if any) on your site is suspicious, to say the least. Personally, I have
found Mr. Ross' site to be of great use and his rebuttals to
your arguments sound...."
"....well I see this Rick Ross self promoting for his own enrichment and running around on Radio Talk shows as if he is an "expert" on "cults" etc. and they buy his line of B.S. I am sure there are many good organizations and causes damaged by his process... there must be some way to expose this guy as the fraud he is... just wondering if there is any organized effort to get him discredited?"
".....Rick Ross is in Stevens Point, Wisconsin trying to get me deprogrammed out of the Schiller Institute, Larouche Organization, a world wide humanitarian organization. my parents think I'm nuts, but I know this guy is a liar...."
"....your still sticking the poo end of the stick at him (Rick Ross). I though he was old news..."
"Finally someone who will speak the truth about Rick Ross... I'm going to ad your link to our web site so that others will see it..."

LOOK IT UP IN THE DICTIONARY BECAUSE IT MEANS DEPRAVE WHICH MEANS CORRUPT, YOU SPEN ALOT OF TIME WITH "BLOWING WHISTLES," ON CHURCHES WHILE YOU SHOULD SPEND MORE TIME TRYING TO LEAD THEM TO JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"pathetic,absolutely pitiful.i don't know much about rick ross but i do know from reading your website that you would probably be better off spending your time asking God for the ability to spell and write coherently.no,really".

ARE YOU A HERO IN THE CHURCHES FILLED AND PASTORED BY CAPTAINS OF TEN?...GET SAVED...MAYBE GOD WILL HAVE MERCY ON YOU TOO"
"Listen you losers-----I attended one of your mind control churches for 6 years and I can't believe that I fell for the load of garbage that was fed to me! I am very involved in a church where the real truth is preached and I am definitely not headed down the greased pole to hell. If I am bound for hell, I will see all of you there! Have fun judging the rest of the world with your own unique brand of "grace"".
The Christian axe is grinding at an alarming
rate. Perhaps Ross did comment felons, by the same
token your bible hero Paul before his conversion was responsble for the execution of
thousands of Christians. What's wrong with this picture?
