Meh said (in reference to mind control), "They've refined to an art the ability to deny reality and capture thought-processes." You have described the essence of modern mind control. Abusers, be they governments, cult.orgs, or individuals, all depend on mind control to keep hidden and further their self-serving agendas. Just the mere mention of mind control instantly drives abuse

I think a lucid moment hit that half-off-his-rocker priest when we wrote: "Never seek the Buddha (enlightenment) outside of your own five foot body." I have to agree with that premise. IMO the SGcult has completely failed its members as a Buddhist organization. Their dogmatic practices encourage members to "seek outside of oneself", and effectively sever any real conne

Corboy & Mey (and for the record here) - here's an excerpt from a post I made at reddit (link) that is related to the subject of abusive spouses/cults: "Leaving the Sgcult is strikingly similar to breaking up with a psychopathic spouse. In both cases, one must summon great courage and overcome each and every fear that keeps one locked into a harmful and destructive relationship,

Soka Spirit was/is nothing but a farce - an attack dog created to keep Sgcult members whipped into an irrational frenzy. When it first started up, I went to only one meeting, and quickly decided to stay away after seeing it for the smelly puss-filled sore that it was. But what a great way for HQ control to find the best brain-washed candidates to fill the rank and file senior leader positions.

Yes,I agree - SGI presidents will become a "dynasty" of Ikeda twerps. Those with actual qualifications will be passed over for the toad's spawn.

Just saw the news that George Williams passed away on Nov. 12, 2013. Its bittersweet news for me. Once upon a time, I was very close to Williams - he had been like a father to me. Whenever we spoke face to face, his eyes always reminded me of bottomless wells. He was the only senior leader compassionate enough to encourage me in my efforts to become a professional singer/musician. He was light

I remember my pioneer wd senior leader telling me that she had been directed to find an american serviceman to marry and return to the states with, for the specific purpose of growing an SG organization in the USA. She tole me about willaims coming around and chewing their asses for not learning to drive or speak english - because they needed to learn in order to better grow the USA cult.org

Hey Mey. Interesting inside info on garyp - your theory sure explains why has shut the hell up, Thanks for your story about attempting to make a pioneer story video. Not surprised to hear that HQ/WT nixed any sort of support for your vid project. They probably didn't want any group receiving recognition/respect that would in any way rival the 'Greatness of the Mentor' meme. As

Hello corboy - good to see you back. Many thanks for your acknowledgement of my humble words. Yes, the phenomenon is like frostbite, and also like a mosquito bite! Your cat piss analogy is so spot on. Life is so much better as an EX filler-member of the litter box division (being shat into and then used to cover up - as you said).

Yes, I do remember all the hoopla over making pilgrimages half way round the world to see the Daigohonzon? It just vanished into thin air. Used to be a visit to see the daiG was THE thing to do.

Hey ST&P. Yeah , I saw all of that crap you got from that ass at Reddit as it came down. I tried to point his totally incorrect idea that you were a former member of NST (not NSA).

Welcome to the forum, Watchtower. I think that you will find, as I did, many wonderful people here that will help with healing the gaping holes that the SGI.cult energy vampires left in our spirits when we forced them to remove their sucking straws. Sounds like you might go way back to the over-the-top NSA days. I look forward to hearing more about your own history and experiences with the cult.o

During my second stint with the cult.org in san antonio during the late eighties and early nineties, I introduced a fellow musician. He in turn shakabuku-ed so many people - most of them musicians or fellow stoners, that our circle of members grew quite rapidly. We became an exception to the usual cult rule (often hanging out together outside of cult.org activites.) We had a very tight little f

I agree with you Meh, most members are good people. But these good people have had there good natures taken advantage of by the cult.org.

Hey Mey! How right you are - we really learn how to "stand alone" when we summon the courage to leave the SGcult behind. Leaving the control monster behind imparts a feeling of freedom and lightness that replaces the repression and delusions which formerly enslaved our precious humanity. It's strikingly simular to breaking up with a psycopathic spouse. In both cases, one must sum
