"Being a gakkai cult member requires that one submit to shackling ritual, a superstitious mindset, magical thinking, and Dear Leader Hero worship. The gakkai cult-org. has outright post-hoc admitted (directly from the horse's mouth) that they manifested "cult characteristics" in the "past." In the case of the gakkai, once a cult, always a cult.
The more the gakkai tries to change their image/ways to suit the times, the more it becomes apparent that they are merely ad-libbing (in an arrogantly reckless manner, I might add) for survival as they go along and have no genuine compass-navigation values. Many of the "values" being touted today have been re-invented from past polar opposite positions. Propaganda always adapts to the times, doesn't it? This may not be readily apparent to new converts, but for those long familiar with the gakkai cult (myself included, having grew up in it), it is painfully obvious.
Regarding emulated behavior: survival within the gakkai, especially in order to climb up its hierarchical ladder, requires obedient, without question or independent thought, slavish submission to all above you and mandates that everyone below you do the same to you in return. This is how the cult-org. ultimately functions, with mindless automatons, by definition, operating without morals or conscience.

If you are a Gakkai member who has downloaded any Nichiren Gohonzon including an authentic one that hasn't been sanctioned by the organisation you will be accused of being of being selfish, emotional and wanting start your own religion. SGI members who believe in Nichiren are cast away and those members that don't believe in Nichiren or who couldn't care less about him are given leadership positions in the organisation.
ReplyDeleteThese days more than ever their gatherings are centred on the topic of the 3 presidents and the Soka Gakkai - how extremely boring and dried out it has become but not if this mentality suits their current karmic tendency's they will feel at home with it and be as happy as a pig in the mud
