Lets not criticize the SGI according to Katie because they chant the Daimoku.

"We, ourselves, cannot produce the Gohonzon. Since it's the enlightened entity of Nichiren Daishonin, no one has the authority other than the successive high priests who have been the sole heirs to the heritage of the True Law. We take no part in this. Therefore, the objects of worship inscribed by those in the Butsuryu and Minobu factions [of the Nichiren sect] are absolutely powerless. They are worthless because they are fake. In fact, they contain the power of evil spirits. That is why they are dangerous." Former SGI president, Josei Toda, Daibyaku Renge, 98, p. 98.

"Members of the Minobu school of the Nichiren sect chant daimoku. They have the Gosho Their recitation of the sutra also includes the Hoben and Juryo chapters. And, in the Shoshinkai, which consists of ex-priests of Nichiren Shoshu , and the portions of the sutra they recite and the daimoku that they chant are identical to the practice we observe. Though their religion may seem the same as ours, they lack the single, unbroken heritage of the law recieved directly from Nichiren Daishonin. If one's faith is not based on this line of inheritance, it is worthless to embrace any Gohonzon, for no benefit will be forthcoming. That is to say, "Without the lifeblood of faith, it would be useless to embrace the Lotus Sutra." " Daisaku Ikeda, Buddhism in Action, vol 3, p 254

From the the SGI Manual of Forced Conversion (SGI Bible of Shakubuku), supervised by Daisaku Ikeda, was published by the Soka Gakkai to train believers. The Soka Gakkai no longer publishes the Bible of Shakubuku because it promotes the Nichiren-Shoshu. Nevertheless, SGI's fundamental doctrines have not changed except for denying that the heritage of the Law is transmitted through the person of High Priest of Nichiren Shoshu. Now they claim that the heritage is only transmitted through the Successive Presidents of the Soka Gakkai.

"Shakyamuni's dharma is the dharma of the past and no longer beneficial". (page 63, The Bible of Shakubuku)

Nichiren taught that Shakyamuni's Lotus Sutra is the only teaching to be spread in the Latter Day.

"It is necessary to realize that we no longer have a connection to Shakyamuni's Buddhism." (page 65, The Bible of Shakubuku)

Nichiren taught that we are the direct disciples of the Original Eternal Buddha Shakyamuni.

"You should know that Nichiren Daishonin is the only true Buddha because Shakamuni's Buddhism is useless." (page 67, The Bible of Shakubuku)

Nichiren taught that Shakyamuni Buddha is the Original Eternal Buddha and we can not even discard the Theoretical Section of the Lotus Sutra, let alone the Essential Section.

"Buddha Shakamuni is inferior to the true Buddha Nichiren." (page 316, The Bible of Shakubuku)

Nichiren taught that all Buddhas throughout the past, present, and future, are emanations of Shakyamuni Buddha. He also taught that those who abandon Shakyamuni will fall into the Avici hell.

"The Lotus Sutra which is the long-cherished wish of Buddha Shakamuni is no longer valid in this era, not in the least." (page93, The Bible of Shakubuku)

Nichiren says the Lotus Sutra is the ultimate teaching of the past, present, and future.

"If you don't worship the Gohonzon of NST (SGI), you will know no well-being in the age of Mappo." (page70, The Bible of Shakubuku)

Yet, the deluded SGI members criticize us for pointing out that the Nichikan Gohonzon breeds evil men.

'If you worship the Honzon of a wicked religion, you will naturally experience misfortune (page280, The Bible of Shakubuku).

The misfortune of the SGI senior leaders and their family members, is actual proof that they worship a Honzon of a wicked religion and the tremendous good fortune of the believers in the Kempon Hokke is proof of the righteousness of our Honzon and the goodness of our religion.

"All other sects except NST (SGI) are wicked religions and are a negative influence on society. (page280, The Bible of Shakubuku)

The reality is that wherever the SGI has spread, the people have suffered every manner of misfortune and even their own members obtain neither merit nor virtue.

"The teachings of Buddha Shakamuni is as useless as last year's calendar. If you are guided by his teachings, your life will surely fail as a logical result." (page 303,The Bible of Shakubuku)

Then why so many unrealized dreams among the Soka Gakkai members and why such wonderful benefits in the life of those who embrace the Lotus Sutra and Shakyamuni Buddha?

"Every person who doesn't worship the Gohonzon of Fuji-Taiseki temple (SGI) are bad people who slander the true dharma.' (page314, The Bible of Shakubuku)

Then the SGI members are bad because, according to their own criteria, they slander the "true dharma" of Fuji-Taisekaji temple. The reality is that they are bad people, especially their high salaried leaders, for other real and serious transgressions: For abandoning the Lotus Sutra and Lord Shakyamuni Buddha and exploiting the Dharma for personal gain.

"The family which believes in the so-called Nichiren-shu will have children who have deformities, mental retardation or madness." (page321, The Bible of Shakubuku)

Then why do so many children of SGI top senior leaders never make it past their twenty first birthday while most Nichiren Shu priests' and believers' children not only survive but thrive? The reason is that the SGI's leaders curses and particularly Ikeda's curses have returned to the originator. For slandering votaries of the Lotus Sutra they or their SGI family members suffer everymanner of disease and death before they grow old.

"All other sects except NST (SGI) are false heresies who exert bad influence on society." (page323, The Bible of Shakubuku)

Then why are there more severe calamities wherever Soka Gakkai has widely spread? Then why does France label the SGI a dangerous cult and has Daisaku Ikeda never once received an award or honor from his own people, the Japanese? Why did the Komeito suffer such a brutal beating in the last election? Because they are a good influence to society?

It is not we against others, it is we who are united with the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the universe and Nichiren and those who aren't from whatever quarter. We also acknowledge Nichiren's teachings on complicity with evil and who is and who isn't a good spiritual friend. From the vast corpus of writings of Ikeda and the Soka Gakkai, it is apparent that SGI members and, especially leaders, are poor spiritual friends.

4).Destructive cults generate some kind of external “pet devil” with which to threaten their members if they should doubt, or fail, or ever leave the group.

The SGI has dozens of “pet devils”. Those who leave will have misfortune on their jobs, in their families, in the social lives, have accidents, fall into hell, etc. President Toda stated: “If you keep this up, you’re going to come to a pitiful end in life.” and “Betraying the Soka Gakkai is betraying the Daishonin. In the end, they’ll receive the punishment of the Buddha, you’ll see.” Ikeda says, “To take action to fight against whatever forces appear as the enemies of the Soka Gakkai is our most noble mission.” Matilda Buck says, “How tragic it would be for even one person to have found the great means of bringing forth Buddhahood only to be diverted to another, seemingly similar, path that is incapable of leading that individual to his or her deepest happiness.” This is the jist of the Gakkai’s attempt to chain the members to the Gakkai way of life. 

But Katie teaches we shouldn't criticize SGI because they chant the Daimoku. She is complicit in slander.
