Rick Ross

Rick Ross (not to be confused with the rapper of the same name[1]) is an anti-cult activist. He got into the cult thing when he discovered a Pentecostal cult infiltrating the Jewish nursing home his grandmother was in, and got just a bit pissed off at that sort of thing.
He used to be a deprogrammer, but was sued to bankruptcy over a case that went wrong and now sticks to exit-counselling and making information available.
His site is a goldmine of good-quality information on all manner of cults, coercive groups and questionable and manipulative organisations.
[edit] Controversy
Ross also was sought by the FBI because of his knowledge of cults during the Waco standoff. Malcolm Gladwell questioned his methods and believed them to have helped cause the violent ending for the victims [2].
