Advice given:
"If you know of a deprogrammer that is quoted in news stories, here.s what you can do. Write a letter to the editor of the paper or TV show to let them know the background of the deprogrammer. Many times this includes criminal activity."

The "Non-Experts" they want you to avoid:
Margaret Singer - http://www.cultawarenessnetwork.org/dbase/bios/singer.html
Herbert Rosedale - President of the American Family Foundation (AFF).
- http://www.cultawarenessnetwork.org/dbase/bios/hrosedale.html
Ford Greene - Lawyer - http://www.cultawarenessnetwork.org/dbase/bios/fgreene.html
Steven Hassan - http://www.cultawarenessnetwork.org/dbase/bios/hassan.html
Rick Ross - http://www.cultawarenessnetwork.org/dbase/bios/rross.html
The only two "experts" that CAN does recommend seem to crop up in a lot of CoS documentation:
Lee Coleman - http://30th.freedommag.org/page47a.htm - http://www.cchr.org/ect/ger/page34.htm
Lowell Streiker - http://www.namebase.org/xstr/Lowell_Streiker.html -http://www.holysmoke.org/cos/revenge.htm 'In an affidavit that the "Church" of Scientology ballyhoos, Lowell Streiker, a family counselor and United Church of Christ minister from Northern California, asserts that 80 percent of all deprogrammings he was aware of were set up by the old CAN's national headquarters or its chapters. His claim was reprinted in a Scientology booklet entitled:
"The Cult Awareness Network: Anatomy of a Hate Group." '
Cheap Shot (which makes them look really professional):
- "Do not pay Rick Ross any money. Call our xxx-xxx-xxxx hotline.
We.ll get you real help from a professor or a pastor who will charge you NOTHING. Let.s force Rick to go out and get a real job. Like dog catching."
