More dedicated thralls in action:
"Soulful Sensei" - [
www.youtube.com] (The new Ikeda Cult Master "Forever Sensei" thrall version)
"$oka Train" - [
www.youtube.com] - (From Ikeda Cult Master's "official" guidance encompassing 4 "critical" points)
1. Chant Daimoku (the magic words)
2. Shakubuku (converting others into thralls)
3. Home-V (peer pressure to re-hook thralls who are backsliding or not "enthralled" enough)
4. Study (of course, Ikeda The Cult Master writings, for indoctrination of dogma)
As I mentioned in a previous post, no. 1 encompasses the pillar of "Faith," no's 2 & 3 are the pillar of "Practice," and no. 4, the pillar of "Study." Nothing changes, it's all the same playbook.
(At the 1:15 min. mark, somebody literally yells "Get Up!!," in a tone demanding people join in the thought/behavior regressing ritual.)
Thrall leadership appointments to cult in-house manufactured positions - [
www.youtube.com]
"Raise one other person in faith. Leadership allows you this opportunity."
"Unless you are doing something for somebody else, then you are not practicing Nichiren buddhism."
"You have to serve others, in order to get the full benefit." "Otherwise, you are just practicing for yourself."Translation:
Take careful note of the heavy ladened cult-speak throughout (like "Kosen-rufu," "leader," "strengthen," "determined," "opportunity," "encourage," "challenge you," "stand-up," "tremendous," etc.) You also get double-bonus-points when you use combinations of any of the above, such as "tremendous opportunity!" I kid you not.
There are also typical cult manipulations at play, such as guilt-tripping & doublethink/doublespeak. (
"You are not practicing correctly, only for yourself." When ironically, you are to only completely serve the cult.org itself. Assimilation, slavery, servitude.).
Also note, the early intimations of the borg(thrall) mental-implant download manifestations in the first speaker's behavior/mannerisms/word usage/and speech patterns. The process has begun for that individual.
Hardcore "Men's Division" indoctrination (by the same speaker?) - [
www.youtube.com]
Personal note: I'm not sure this kind of crap would have gone over well with the men's division that I was familiar with when I was in. In my opinion, things have gotten a bit more hardcore for the men's division. Sad to see grown men fall for this stuff.
Love-bomb the "members" as they arrive (bused in from out-of-town, far away areas). [
www.youtube.com]
Notice, they have combined the YMD "rah-rah" activities together with the MD (men's division) activities, to kill two birds with one stone. This clip tells me two things:
1. They don't have the numbers to have separate meetings for the two different groups, and . . .
2. They are desperate by treating the men's division members like hardcore YMD. In other words, once again, they are lacking in adequate "thrall" numbers.
