A Note to People with Concerns
about a Person Involved in NCCG

If you are a parent or a person close to a current investigator or member of NCCG, I am pretty sure nccg_concern has made you panic, to say the least. When I fist came across it, I admit I was shocked to see how this person aims directly to stir up emotion. Nccg_concern goes as far as to advise you on how to handle a situation when you suspect that a member of your family or someone else close to you is deeply involved in NCCG. The advice he gives as presented at the bottom of Fast Facts article is the following:

1.       Keep it secret from the involved person, go as far as to erase computer logs and history

2.       Contact nccg_concern himself for more information about membership in the NCCG

3.       If you think the person is not deeply involved, then he recommends you have them read his website

4.       If you think the person/member/investigator is deeply involved, seeking help from professional exit counsellors is recommended.

As I have commented in Fast Facts, the advice you will trust and act upon must be from a person who at least has an adequate level of integrity related to the matter you are dealing with. I have discovered that trusting nccg_concern's advice may actually prove destructive for both the involved individual and your relationship with him/her.

These are the reasons:

First of all, there is the matter of anonymity. Nccg_concern will tell you he is named and has identified himself to people who he is convinced honestly seek to leave NCCG or honestly seek for a loved one of theirs to leave the church. However, in that sense, to find out who nccg_concern is, his age, credentials etc, you need to trust him first and agree with him on many principles, one of which must be full disapproval of NCCG. That way, he can never become accountable to those who disagree with him as he will not reveal his identity to them. This is not a responsible attitude. Thousands of people voice their opinions on the internet, in magazines and on the TV presenting themselves and their qualifications without the veil of anonymity, and many of them go through actual risks to do so. However, if there is a good reason to hide one's identity, then so be it, but it will have to be a VERY good reason when a person poses as an authority.

Nccg_concern has lied about why he wishes to remain anonymous:

"My identity is not indicated on this web site because I wish to avoid any unnecessary jeopardy of my personal safety relative to my authorship of this web site."

NCCG does not have a history of being a threat to personal safety of those who criticize them. They have never so far gone after their other critics (and they had some in the past) and its leader has blank criminal record. These are facts and easily verifiable should it come to it. Nccg_concern has no reason to be afraid about his personal safety whatsoever, and had he been named to start with, very little would change. He would have definitely been spared the attacks on his anonymity. I am perfectly sure he knows this.

As it becomes obvious, the reasons he has chosen to remain anonymous ESPECIALLY towards C.C. Warren, are other reasons, most probably personal. This leads to my second point:

There is very strong indication that nccg_concern's agenda is anything BUT protecting people from a "dangerous" cult. It appears that the centre of the target he aims at is C.C. Warren himself. You can find proof of this in several places if you go through this website. I am not aware of the motivation behind this agenda, and I imagine nor is C.C. Warren who does not even know the name of this "investigator".

Please bear this in mind while you read nccg_concern's advice on how to handle your loved ones: The person who calls himself nccg_concern is not concerned about YOU, or your son, or daughter or friend. The best interests of you and your loved ones are NOT his agenda, and I can say this with absolute certainty. If you look at his website with unbiased lenses, you will reach the same conclusion. If nccg_concern offers to help you, seems compassionate or shows any signs of true "concern," that is because he is a little closer to achieving his real goal, which is simply to do harm to C.C. Warren. Also keep this in mind: It is not NCCG – the Church – that he is against; it is specifically its leader.

My final point has to do with nccg_concern's suggestion that you should consult an exit counsellor. Nccg_concern looks up to Rick Ross, considers him an expert, and the same about Mary Alice Crapo. He has also posted in the Rick Ross message boards, where he expresses no less than admiration towards Rick Ross (there is but a small example mirrored here). Now there is nothing wrong with looking up to people, but Rick Ross happens to be a convicted criminal. The "professional" techniques that he and his associates use include kidnapping, brainwashing, sexual abuse, drug circulation and other criminal activities. M. A. Crapo (a.k.a. Chrnalogar) used to be a member of C.A.N. (Cult Awareness Network) before it went bankrupt and sold out and has also been arrested for kidnapping. The chances that she changed her mind about these radical techniques are very slim. You may find many articles in this website indicating to that (see the links in the index page and the note to exit counsellors). You needn't read more than a few to understand why you would never want your children or loved ones in the hands of these people. However, nccg_concern seems to be oblivious to this criminal past. This is what nccg_concern looks up to, what he recommends and what he defends in more that one occasion in his website.

I am not a psychologist and not an expert on cults or church groups in general. My only credentials are my common sense and what my observation of both NCCG and nccg_concern. The only advice I have for you is that before you call Rick Ross or another "deprogrammer", before you erase your browser history, and before you even panic with what nccg_concern would like you to believe blindly, do a small investigation into NCCG for yourself. If you care enough to hand thousands of dollars to counsellors (professionals or charlatans), I am sure you would take the time to use your critical thinking and examine NCCG and come to balanced conclusions.
