June: Prof Ji-il Tark on Ahn Sahng-hong's World Mission Society Church of God Cult (ICSA Conference)
Interesting comment posted under the video when it was hosted on Vimeo :
QuoteChrist AhnSahngHong is God HIMSELF. I cant withdraw this statement, and I can boldly testify that he is God the creator Himself.The New Jerusalem Mother is God too, The Almighty God, the creator of Heavens and the Earth. The reason you cant get it is that You are NOT His children, so you cant understand. John 8:47 He who belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.

July 26: Suit Vs. Alleged Ridgewood Cult Moves Ahead; Woman Says She Was Pressured into Abortion (https://www.northjersey.com/story/news/bergen/ridgewood/2018/07/26/wo-suit-alleges-against-judge-denies-motion-dismiss-case-against-ridgewood-church-called-cult-ex-mem/819349002/) (North Jersey)
QuoteA lawsuit against a Ridgewood church that some former members have described as a cult is moving forward after a judge denied a motion to dismiss a woman's claim that she was subjected to "psychological harm and trauma" after joining and that she was pressured to have an abortion.
The federal lawsuit, filed in 2014, alleges that the World Mission Society Church of God deprived a former North Jersey woman of sleep, overworked her and alienated her from friends and family as a form of "brainwashing" in order to destroy "her independent will."
The plaintiff, Michelle Ramirez, also alleges that the church defrauded her by persuading her to donate 10 percent of her income without revealing its true beliefs. Former members have said they attended the church for months before being told a South Korean woman in her 70s is the living manifestation of God.
