Hi! I've been reading this forum for a while now and finally registered to participate. Thanks to everyone who writes here because it has really helped me regain my critical thinking ability. I guess I was just ignoring what I did not agree with in the SGI. I joined over 20 years ago which is so embarrasing to me now. I thought world peace and self improvment were the goals but I was duped. I read in the paper about dumb guy A and dumb guy B getting involved with dumb thing C and thought that would never happen to me. I haven't got to the point of returning my paper but I'm getting there. When I joined the priests were still handing out the scrolls and this one monk asked me if I swore to protect the teachings of Nichiren through out my life and I said yes. He bopped me on the head with a scroll and the games began. But in the past 3 or 4 years I can ignore no more. I am no longer a Branch Ikedian.

I have a serious question. Take a look at some of these photos:
1. [www.buddhawest.org]
2. [www.buddhawest.org]
3. [www.buddhawest.org]
4. [www.buddhawest.org]
5. [www.buddhawest.org]
He's like this in many photos that I've seen of him.
Is Danny Nagashima (Cult Boss U.S.A Branch) dealing with a full deck?
Typical gakkai cult drone hyper feigned enthusiasm, btw.

@thatsmeinthecorner: Welcome and thanks for your participation!
For a lot of years I had fooled myself and belittled their psycho games they've played on me. After reading in this forum for months I needed no more proof and I decided to quit and have mailed back the magical scroll manipulation tool to the HQ. I made my resignation at the district's authority and they 've sent me an official certification that I'm out of the church" Buddhism". Maybe I will sent a copy to the Buddhist umbrella organization and ask if a leave of SGI is automatically the leave of Buddhist Association. In a legal sense there may be a grey zone, but I'm not willed to allow SGI to cut my democracy rights of freedom in religion. That's what they really want, to undercut and infiltrate democracy law and establish Cousin Rufu's Reich. One of the SGI mottoes : cousin rufu will be around for the next 10,000 years and we have all time in world, so when we don't win today we'll do tomorrow.
Sensei, you are not in my heart, you are not my fate and I do not love you. Is that clear?

Sixtyseven, Thank you for the links. Loved your response to the sensei song. I completely agree. That whole song made me cringe. Why is there this need to out grovel one another for big D's attention? I read a quote from Thomas Paine (I think) that says something like this, "If a hundred people say a foolish thing, it is still a foolish thing."
Thank you Freeheartandmind and I agree. I have to laugh ... Cousin Rufus, perfect.

Kosen-rufu is not democracy.

And as we know here, people aren't jumping onto the KR bandwagon, they are just not. Extreme emphasis on a M/D relationship, ain't the way to go and is not an attractive enticement in the least. As we also know, there are people who need and want that with their religious faith. But it's not going to go Critical Mass, oh heck no. And thank heavens for that.
