Well, the October 9 WT is out and it certainly did not disappoint! The Sensei worship is continues, and the cult indoctrination in the articles is as blatant as ever.
In the first article, A Brilliant New Start for the SGI-USA supposedly written by Ikeda, President Harada attends the commemoration of “the 55th anniversary of the kosen-rufu movement in America.”
At this meeting, the announcement is made that Adin Strauss is replacing Danny Nagashima as the General Director. Nagashima will now be the Executive Advisor. Not to distract from Ikeda’s greatness however, Ikeda writes: “General Director Strauss is a talented and outstanding individual whom I have trained since his days in the youth division.”
Hmmmm… Might I go out on a limb and suggest that Ikeda probably didn’t know who Strauss was when he was in the youth division?
In a telling comment, he continues, “I ask all the members to ‘transcend all differences among yourselves.’”
Hmmmm… A little dissention in the ranks perhaps? Good ole Danny couldn’t handle it with his ethnocentric ways? And replaced by an American no less? Oh, the utter humiliation.
In the following article, SGI-USA Executive Conference Held,Harada speaks of Strauss’s “spirit to uphold the oneness of mentor and disciple and his attitude to continually seek President Ikeda.”
Well, that’s what it takes to move up through the ranks! Complete cult indoctrination! And this mind-set is “based on the solid unity of many in body, one in mind.” Another possible indication of disagreements among the leadership elite? Makes one wonder.
