"The primary purpose and goal of "groups" and "leaders" in the Soka Gakkai and many other religious organizations has been to produce in the adherents a psychological dependence on the group and especially the leaders. "Members" are taught to put all their faith, hope and trust in the groups' leaders which is idolatry. It grants opportunity and permission for invasion by all manner of heresy, not the least of which is the spirit of fear. As a result of these "groups and leaders" the members are terrified by the prospect of punitive action which they have been taught would be emanating ultimately from Buddha Himself, if they are not completely submissive to every dictate and whim of their leaders, they are laden with overwhelming burdens of guilt, isolated from other sources of 'truth and fellowship', and their entire life is totally immersed in the internal involvements of the Organization. The outcome is heresy against the law of Buddhism, non-scriptural and insidious, all-encompassing spiritual and psychological dependency on the group and the leaders. Because of the adherence to the these heretical tenets, SGI and other Nichiren sects are not able to"dip from the stream of the original converts of the Buddha".
