If you are a relentless critic of the SGI, even after twenty or thirty years, they will ask around about you, find a leader who knew you, and bring up things from the past that only someone with intimate knowledge of you knows. They will do anything in their power to try and discredit you. just recently, an SGI pitbull wrote something about me on my blog that only one of several people could have ever known. Since they don't have anything of substance against me, it was innocuous but revealing the lengths they will go to silence their critics. Anyone from the SGI reading this, I implore you, don't reveal anything about yourself to your leaders that only your wife, parents, children, or lawyer should know.
Dear Nichijew,
Yes, I've looked back on what I've said to SGI leaders and members. I don't think I've said anything that would be too incriminating...I'm really quite dull. I've always been a person who followed the rules and respected authority. Had I been less like that, I'd probably have left SGI much sooner.
To anyone else who is reading this -- I second Nichijew's advice. Be very careful about what you share with any SGI leader or member. There's a good chance that they will not keep your confidences private, even if you remain a member in good standing.
And if you do criticize SGI -- watch out! Pages 109-116 of this thread tell about what happened to Wendy Byrd Ehlmann, who wrote a blog on www.fraughtwithperil that SGI didn't like. SGI harassed her while she was alive. After she died suddenly of a heart attack, certain members still couldn't stop gossiping and backbiting, saying very nasty things about her and her practice.
