It is futile. All significant changes in SGI come from above. Try to change the distribution of Nichikan Gohonzon to Nichiren Gohonzon. Try to change Nam Myoho renge kyo to Namu Myoho renge kyo. But if mentor says "change" [regarding anything big or small], it's changed within a day. Another reason to not work to change SGI from within is that Nichiren teaches that we should not associate with slanderers.
I pity the fool who disregards Nichiren's admonition regarding associating with slanderers. The ill effects of participating in the SGI with a noble mission to do shakubuku where the suffering was greatest- within SGI, were far worse than my earlier learning curve, innocent encounters with hard core slanderers. As I continue to awaken to truth, I notice that my life, indeed all activities of daily living relate more to Nichiren's writings than any other point of view, or reference.

as i have stated before - sgi will talk to you until you see things their way, or until you buy their program. the nichiren shoshit won't talk to you at all unless you see it their way from the start. two sides of the same coin. what say you dirham?
