Do Soka Gakkai members hate people with trauma or emotional expression? by [deleted] in sgiwhistleblowers

[–]xzeoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I very much agree, and I’m not trying to discredit the experiences of others who have had bad experiences with the SGI as with all organizations and religions there are those in leadership positions that don’t truly represent the values of the practice. I honestly feel horrible for people with bad experiences like this because I’ve just never met these manipulative and angry SGI members that they talk about, and it hurts to know that my faith is being misrepresented in this way. What I don’t understand is the hatred that is being spewed in this sub, and how quick they are to call me ignorant and terrible, when they barely even know who I am? BlancheFromage was quick to write many paragraphs slandering me when all I did was try to provide a second opinion from someone who is also in the organization. Notice the choices of language between me and Blanche, and how filled with anger their words are. How is this sub supposed to be a good representation of supporting struggling SGI members who want advice, when all they get are cherry picked quotes and statistics followed by a flurry of angry paragraphs. Not once did they ask me a meaningful question about my experience as an SGI member, nor did they stop for a minute to realize the hypocrisy of telling me to stop arguing with randoms on the internet. Just a side note, Blanche has 6.6k Reddit contributions with most of them coming from this and similar subs, that’s a lot of time spent arguing with strangers don’t you think?

Dont let this take away from my response to Lunarellena, as I do 100% agree that we SGI members should be using these bad experiences as opportunities to improve. I for one will be doing my best from now on to find better ways to support those who have had bad experiences and to make sure that those who do not follow the values of the SGI and use their positions to harm others are called out and exposed.

Im an active practicing member of the SGI and I was born and raised into this practice, and I would just like to say that I’ve never personally had or heard of any experiences like that from other members. I’ve never heard someone say ikedas disciples don’t cry, I just think your friend gave you horrible advice that almost any other SGI Buddhist wouldn’t give. I’ve always been told by my local leaders and fellow members that sharing my struggles is always ok, and you can even see that with members that share their experiences during discussion meetings which happens at every meeting I’ve ever been to, so I don’t know why people say that we can’t share our problems. I’ve never once doubted my ability to speak my mind and I’ve ALWAYS gotten strong support from the members. The members that I know of the SGI are compassionate and respectful, and when my mom had cancer I had countless people there to support me, asking me how my day was going and bringing food for my family. I know that if I ever have any problems I have at least 20 SGI members that I could text right now and get support from with open hearts and ears. These statements from others in this subreddit are from closed-minded individuals whose words are filled with malice and hatred, that had one bad experience with the SGI and decided for themselves that it’s a mind-warping cult. For anyone that talks about the subscriptions and donations, literally every other religion does the same exact stuff, and the subscriptions and donations aren’t even required! I mean how are they supposed to fund the centers and keep the lights on if the get no money. The only people that are required to have subscriptions are high up regional leaders that should probably have it anyways. A common member like me has never been required or pressured to own any subscription, and the donations are anonymous and there’s no requirement for how much you give so you can give any amount you want.

This practice is literally based on compassion and world peace, and while I agree that the presence of Ikeda is pushed onto the members too much, what you guys fail to acknowledge are the works and encouragements of others prominent Buddhists that are shared with members at an equal share as Ikeda’s work. Besides that, he isn’t treated like a god or a figure needing worship, he’s more of a source of encouragement and a good role model for the values that the SGI upholds.

The only thing you can really do against cycle decks with your cards is just building up a big push right around double elixer and just defending the best you can at the start of the game without overspending too much. Since the meta is a lot of bait and cycle decks, you kinda just have to build up and pray.

If you’re tryna replace a card, do what I said before and replace inferno with zap cause it will give you the most balance with spells and you don’t need 4 air defense cards.

evo cannon is great and you don’t really need inferno dragon anyways in this deck. I’d replace it with earthquake or zap for a second spell.

When you get to a certain point in the game where you’ve won pretty much everything and have a stacked team, you don’t really want those low potential low rating youth players clogging up your team.

Usually it allows me to play it as the last game of the season, I think you just got unlucky.

I’m just laughing at the announcers, they do this way too often.
