Is Linda Johnson's [death sentence prosecutor and SGI-USA Woman's Division Leader] argument to put someone to death as passionate as her appeal to raise up one leader for Kosen Rufu?

What flavor of Koolaid is Tammy Frazier offering?
“The fundamental reason for falling into hell can be traced to arrogance, the essence of which is jealousy and contempt for the mentor.” -- Tammy Frazier, SGI Vice National Young Woman’s Division Leader and National Student Division Leader
There is no benefit in making SGI contributions.
"In the same way, the donations made by people today may seem impressive, but they are offerings of fiefs won in battle, or of wealth gained by heedlessly oppressing the people. Though these gifts appear to be great acts of devotion to the Buddha, not only will the people who offer them fail to attain Buddhahood, but their contributions will vanish without a trace.
"Again, even if one does no harm to others and honestly strives to make offerings, there will be cases in which one does not attain Buddhahood. To illustrate, if one plants good seed in a bad field, the seed itself will be ruined, and one will in turn suffer loss. Even if one is sincere, if the person to whom one makes offerings is evil, those offerings will fail to produce benefit; rather, they will cause one to fall into the evil paths."
Am I mean?
“Again I say you are real a mean person who has an ax to grind against the good people of S.G.I. You are just tooo smart and like the attention you get. You must be an old N.S.A. member that thinks ya got screwed out of a position in the 80′s. Get over it." -- SGI member
More SGI versus the Lotus Sutra
"After asking ourselves these questions, we came up with a question for our region’s central focus for this campaign: “If Sensei were to come to LA North on October 2, what breakthrough would I share with him?” This is the question so many youth are now asking themselves." -- The disciples of Daisaku Ikeda
"World-honored One! After the extinction of the Buddha, in this land where the transformed body of the World-honored One exists, we will widely preach this sutra. Wherefore? [Because] we also wish to obtain this truly Great Law not cherishing bodily life nor vainly pursuing breakthroughs in our lives." -- The original disciples of the Buddha from the most distant past, the Bodhisattvas of the Earth [Lotus Sutra Chapter 21]
SGI is no match for the non-Buddhists according to Nichiren
"The followers of the True Word school in particular make it a point to emphasize worldly benefits exclusively..."
"...they conduct prayers not only to satisfy the amorous passions of man and woman, but also to fulfill desires for manors and the like. They claim such trifling results as wondrous benefits. However, if they are going to assert the supremacy of the True Word [SGI] teachings on these grounds, they are no match for the non-Buddhists" -- Nichiren
We will force SGI members to take responsibility for their words and deeds.
Under the guise of unofficial spokespersons, the SGI has their low level leaders and members do their slander and dirty work for them. This way they can distance themselves later should their surrogates disgrace the SGI through their ignorance, smear tactics, and failures in Buddhist debate.
On the contrary, every disciple and believer of Nichiren is an official spokesperson for the Lotus Sutra, Buddha, and Nichiren Daishonin. There can never be an official and an unofficial perspective as long as one is indeed a disciple and believer of Nichiren. Actually, there is not an an official and unofficial SGI perspective. If you are an SGI member and disciple of president Ikeda, you represent the SGI whether SGI labels your view official or unofficial. Do not be fooled. They can’t have it both ways. We will force them to take responsibility for their words and deeds.
One faith or a multiplicity of faiths?
History and current events prove that a diversity of faiths is the path to war. Nichiren Daishonin and his disciples are correct in advocating the one exclusive faith and practice of the Lotus Sutra.
More Ryuei versus Nichiren
First some background:
The Nichiren Shu priest Ryuei advocates the Chinese Hua-T'ou [Zen] method as useful for attaining enlightenment:
Nichiren's on Zen:
"Zen is the teaching of devils."
A mind immersed in ignorance according to SGI
"...if the slightest illusory idea lurks in the depths of one's life, prompting one to accept the claims of those who denounce the Soka Gakkai, this is entirely reversing the correct order of things. Such a mind is immersed in illusion or ignorance, which develops into a cause to experience the sufferings of hell and closes the path to one's enlightenment." --Daisaku Ikeda
David responds:
"So, the mere act of "accepting" the claims of "those who denounce the Soka Gakkai" is the act of "a mind immersed in illusion or ignorance"...which develops into a cause to experience the sufferings of hell and closes the path to one's enlightenment."
We are relieved of the responsibility to judge arguments against the Gakkai based on their merits. Simply to accept an argument against the Gakkai, any argument, no matter how well documented, is the result of our own ignorance and instantly sends us to hell while closing the path to Buddhahood.
Anyone who even considers criticism of the Gakkai based on the evidence offered has already condemned oneself to Hell. The only path to enlightenment is absolute unquestioned and unbridled support for any action taken by the Gakkai.
Shut up and drink the Kool-Aid ?"

On SGI's assertion that only through SGI can one become Enlightened
The Mystic Law is timeless and boundless. Nichiren's Lotus Sutra Buddhism is more than 750 years old and Soka Gakkai "Buddhism" is 80 years old. By their reasoning, Enlightenment could only be realized within the last 80 years and only among a select group of individuals. This indeed is faulty logic and patently untrue.
Why do people forge Gosho and Gohonzon and attribute them to Nichiren?
In order to ensure that their Gosho and Gohonzon are reverenced with sufficient loftiness, they attribute them to Nichiren. Sometimes also, in order to win a debate and more often, especially in the case of the Nichiren Shoshu, to amass believers and donations.
Nichiren responds to SGI members' assertion, "I am a Buddha"
"It is like, for example, a mere commoner who goes about proclaiming that he is a king. There is nothing to stop him from declaring himself to be a king. But no matter how his tongue may delight in making such a declaration, he remains no more than a commoner, humble and despised in station.
Or it is like someone insisting that mere shards and rubble are in fact jewels. Simply declaring that stones and shards are jewels has never once turned stones into real jewels. And you are doing the same thing when you go on repeating the formula “This very body is the Buddha,” mere words that have no reality behind them, a pitiful, a most pitiful performance!" -- Nichiren
