Rick Alan Ross <\/strong>(born 1952) is an American\u00a0deprogrammer<\/a>,\u00a0so-called cult\u00a0specialist, and founder of the\u00a0Cult Education Institute<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A former career criminal from the young age of 22 looking for ways to make a quick buck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From his Jewish upbringing, Rick Alan Ross has formed a strong personal hatred for all religions other than his own and has been addressed from his dealing with FBI interview notes by Nancy Amerman<\/a>, a professor of sociology of religion, stating Ross “has a personal hatred for all religious cults”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He still frequently appears in the news and other media discussing and implanting his opinions that various groups are destructive and therefore a destructive cult without proper investigations and uses his opinions to be used as quotable materials in mainstream press and media to then be propagated as a quotable source of truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rick Ross uses techniques called Illusory truths<\/a> in his communications. These are a basis where an element of truth is presented, making you buy in and usually agree that what is presented is correct and is then finished off with an outright lie. Leaving you in believing what is stated is all correct due to its fluency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He makes ludicrous money from the families of people associated with so-called “cults” leaving them, in the end, worse off and all dysfunctional with hatred for other organizations and Churches not belonging to them. Not to mention out of pocket. He is claiming he has successfully intervened in over 500 deprogramming cases in various countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rick Ross faced charges of unlawful imprisonment over a 1991 forcible deprogramming<\/a> of United Pentecostal Church International member Jason Scott; a jury acquitted him at trial. In 1995, a civil lawsuit filed by Scott resulted in a multimillion-dollar judgment against Ross and his co-defendants. Later, Ross and Scott reached a settlement in which Ross agreed to pay Scott US$5,000 and provide 200 hours of professional services at no charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rick Ross continues to promote and excite hatred towards organizations with misdirected and false information to this day and continues to publish articles on his website and books to make money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2022, Rick Ross now uses Advertorials <\/a>(Paid presentations appearing to be an Interview) in Morning TV Shows promoting his latest book, “Cults Inside Out” and continues to promote deprogramming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
