Chas,
Your organisation are the thugs. Remember WW2 when SGI
beat up a Priest? If someone doesn't agree with the SGI
organisation, your organisation hacks their computers
illegally, excommunicates their own members, chants AT them
to die or get hurt, attacks their character, buys them off,
or uses them, so they SHUT UP. So, aim that finger where
it belongs, BOZO!
I think you ought to stop calling High Priests thugs IF
if you can't even handle correcting a Priest in some way
that's HUMANE. Just a suggestion! Especially because it's
not the Priests who need correcting.
I don't see SGI changing their karma by using their own
Buddhist practices to change their karma, YET SGI most
CERTAINLY asks everyone else to do things in this way.
You waste your time trying to convince anyone that SGI is
humane, Chas! Remember your daimoku tosos to ruin the temple?
Remember Mr. Ikeda saying that all the people that didn't
agree with SGI would suffer or die in agony in his POEMS (2).
I don't see your point and I probably never will, due to the
fact I went to an SGI funeral to pay respects to someone.
Being NST at the time, I was attacked verbally no less than
3 times DURING the activity. I don't recommend it to anyone
BTW.
You really need to look at your own organisation's actions for
a change Chas., before you blame others for what they do.
Cart before the horse!
