The Gripe Page

Extracts from Rick Ross' e-mail's to this site
Rick Ross continues to threaten legal action against this web site "for making false statements with malicious intent." To Mr. Ross semantics play a big part in these so called "false statements with malicious intent." Certain phrases and words have been altered to accommodate the semantics of Mr. Ross but the content remains the same. Because Rick Ross now holds excusive copyright to his private writings it is not possible to publish his correspondence on this web site so that the viewer can decide between what is a semantic and what is a "false statements with malicious intent." Please stay tuned to this page because 1. I have a lot more stuff that is waiting to go up. 2. I am waiting on legal advise as to what I can post on this site.

I was never charged with "kidnapping," but instead "unlawful" or "false imprisonment."

I was not "fined $2,500,000.00." This was a civil judgment, not a "fine." Of course the difference is an important distinction--i.e. a fine would be connected to a criminal trial and reflect criminal wrong doing. I was in fact found "not guilty" in the only criminal trial regarding Jason Scott. The $2,500,000.00 you cite was in fact a civil judgment, obtained through a civil court case.

There is an interesting twist in the tale regarding Mr. Ross' statement (above). Although it is true that he was not found guilty and was not subsequently fined in the criminal court case regarding the Jason Scott abduction, unlawful and false imprisonment. According to a report titled "Scientology's Revenge" by Ron Russell, sites the reason why this is, because Jason's mother testified in the court room that she organized and hired Mr. Ross. "Indeed, Ross went to trial on criminal kidnapping charges, but when Tonkin took the stand to accept responsibility for hiring Ross, it was obvious that there would be no conviction. Rare is the jury willing to throw the book at a mother desperate to rescue her teenaged children from a suspected cult, even if one of them is of legal age." (1)

Jason Scott was not simply a "Pentecostal" or "Christian" without qualification was a member of the United Pentecostal Church International," which any Christian researcher knows is a controversial group that specifically believes all "Christians" (e.g. Assemblies of God--"Pentecostal Christian(s)") who accept the trinity--must reject that belief and accept their "Oneness Doctrine" and "Jesus Name Only" baptism to receive salvation.

Any intelligent investigation will reveal that Mr Ross is spouting half truths yet again. The United Pentecostal Church International (UPC) which was founded in 1945 but had its roots in the Pentecostal revival of 1901 does believe in a "Oneness" Doctrine" but not as Mr. Ross alludes to an "Exclusive Theology" (which is seen in the doctrines and theology of the Jehovah's Wittiness's, Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy etc.). For a full (factual) doctrinal / theological and historic overview of the movement: Dictionary of Pentecostal & Charismatic Movements, Stanley M. Burgess & Gary B. McGee (Editors), Patrick H. Alexander (Associate Editor), Regency Reference Library, Zondervan Publishing House, Pages: 860 - 865.

It seems that you may be upset regarding some subsection within my site about your group, leader etc. (perhaps JPUSA?) and obviously your intention here would seem to be "malicious" and/or clearly retaliatory. But regardless of such feelings--you have no right to make false statements, which constitute slander. Please correct the statements outlined and notify me promptly. I expect to hear from you soon.

At this point you are knowingly and with clear malicious intent posting slander on the Internet. This is your own original composition and not a news story or court document. Don't be confused that somehow citing it as "unconfirmed reports" or "allegations" provides an excuse or cover.

Let the reader note that at the time of Mr. Ross' e-mail news stories and court documents were quoted (but not posted). They are now: kidnap_news_items.htm

Date: Sat, 11 Mar 2000 22:29:33 -0700 I was never a "chaplain," but rather the Jewish representative on the Religious Advisory Committee to the Arizona Department of Corrections and a staff member of Jewish Family Service of Phoenix, where I coordinated the Jewish Prisoner Program.
