"Last year, the fringe group made national news for being linked to the fatal shooting of two Orthodox Jews in Jersey City, New Jersey and for their role inciting the Covington Catholic standoff at the Lincoln Memorial initially misreported in the media."
"Two high-ranking ex-members of ICGJC who left in 2016 after decades of involvement told Religion Unplugged the organization exercises cult-like control over its members, requiring them to ask permission to miss any services, even for a funeral or birthday, and threatening ex-communication for sins like sexual immorality, acts of violence and using narcotics. Even showing up two minutes late to the Sabbath is enough to be told you’re wicked, they said."
