Here is a more detailed bio on Scott Ross, from the TRGI website. (Underlining added by me.)
I do not find Scott Ross listed as a current NTM member on the NTM website, however, this bio does not seem to indicate that he and his wife are FORMER members, so perhaps they are still in the mission (why would this be concealed?). The description of his role as House Counsel for NTM also seems current. Not past. This is confusing to me for a couple of reasons: 1) if he is a mission member, receiving donations from faithful supporters who view him as their missionary, it is highly unusual for him to be opening this sort of agency, which will presumably be charging clients typical fees normally collected by people with law degrees. And 2) If he is a current mission member and a current house counsel for NTM, it would be imperative that all abuse survivors understand that very clearly, and consider the conflict of interest concerns which would arise, should TRGI investigate cases of past abuse in NTM.
