Former cult member Maura Schmierer recommended Rick Ross's new book Cult Inside Out.The following is her recommendation.
Haven’t read his book yet. He just emailed me of it today in response to an email I sent him. I met Rick Ross in Texas many years ago on a case he worked on involving a family’s loved one in ACMTC. He came with a literal trunk load of books, of research—obviously prior to the advent of laptops! He may be more knowledgeable than anyone on the subject of cults. I’m purchasing his book on my Kindle.
You can get it from Amazon

Maura Schmierer: Author of Escaping Evil My Life in a Cult
About the author Maura Schmierer：
My name is Maura Schmierer and it’s all over the internet with regards to AMCTC, or the Aggressive Christianity Missions Training Corps, AKA Free Love Ministry, AKA Shrim Ra Na Holy Tribal Nation.
Jim and Lila (AKA Deborah) Green, co-founders and leaders of ACMTC, along with my ex, Steve, AKA Philip Jordan, have been cursing and slandering me and anyone else who questions their authority for over 25 years.
I’m the shady lady cooked up inside their PX2 files. Welcome to my blog. I’m not here to defend myself against psychopaths who depict me as some bad-ass whore or witch or gold digger or woman set aside and forsaken by god. I’m simply here to share my and a few other’s stories, and to shed some light on the subject of cults and mind control.
Those inside ACMTC think they’re god’s special elite people, his chosen, his end day army. Jim and Deborah Green are god’s generals, and Deborah his prophet, and their whole big purpose in life is to deliver god’s judgments to the earth, usher in the new kingdom of god, and then to rule in eternity with Jesus Christ—as you and I (if you reject them or their message) burn forever in hell.
Doubting authority is a big concern in there. It’s a sin, not tolerated. Good soldiers don’t doubt Lila Green who gets her stuff straight from God. All it takes is one doubting soldier letting his or her guard down to open up the gate for hordes of demons to flood into “god’s camp.” That’s one reason why they got rid of me. I questioned. I resisted.
These soldiers march around in circles slaying invisible demons with invisible swords, yelling, “Get behind me Satan, in the name of Jesus Christ,” and they do it to keep demons from getting inside their heads.
I—the fabricated MS in the PX2 files—epitomize what happens to a soldier who takes her armor off, who doubts or questions god. Nobody wants to be the bad guy. Nobody wants to be forsaken by god.
Regarding ACMTC, all I’ve ever really wanted to do is shine a little light inside a dark hole, and expose the deception and abuse in there. No one holds this manic woman and her diehard followers accountable.
Physically, mentally, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually, Deborah and Jim Green, along with a few of their diehards, abuse their followers. They milk their devotion, submission and fear, and use them as slave laborers to serve irrational demands, and to make them enough money to keep their delusions afloat.
They turn daughters and sons against mothers and fathers, mothers and fathers against daughters and sons. To maintain loyalty and single-mindedness within their ranks, ACMTC soldiers submit to “cutting ties” with family, with friends, with anyone who’s not on board with their God. Now they belong to “god’s family.”
Regarding me and anyone else who tells it like it is in there, the Greens and the ex muster up nasty lies to cover up their own dirty tracks. For me it’s been going on and off and on again for close to 30 years—vindictive hatred coming at me from the past.
