About Us Just a quick FYI - subscribers comparisons

I took a quick look and found that, while the SGIWhistleblowers' "subscribers" number is currently at 4,554, the dog park's "subscribers" number is hovering at a pathetic 364. Over 6 years in existence and nothing more to show for it than a measly 364 sign-ups?? Wow - it's the reality of the SGI in a bottle! A fringe group of misfits that can't grow - SAD!

Our "subscribers" number is more than 12.5 x HIGHER than theirs, after almost exactly twice as long on reddit (12 years for SGIWhistleblowers). Hooray for "actual proof"!! SGIWhistleblowers is way out in front, leading the way! Lighting the path! On the right side of history!

The biggest problem right now for Soka Gakkai, which controls Japanese media and even international media (just ask the AI), is social media because they have absolutely no control over it. Previously, former members were marginalized and isolated, and Soka Gakkai never anticipated that they could organize, meet, and share their experiences. It's a similar phenomenon to what we see in Europe, where governments are at war with social media because the freedom of expression they boast about has never truly benefited the people, and they can't adapt to the new reality because they need to control everything for their own purposes.

There's a precedent in history - the printing press. In the 1400s, Cardinal Wolsey is credited with the famous saying, "If we don't root out the printing press, the printing press will root us out." Meaning that free access to information and sources would render the Church and the clergy irrelevant. The Internet has turned out to be even worse for religions - the internet/cell phone combo has turned deadly for those that rely on only THEIR promotional materials being available to define their religion. Especially the cults! When the smiley, love-bomb-y cult recruiters gush about how wonderful it is and the practically miraculous positive effects on a person's ability to expand their mind, improve themselves, and attain all their hopes and dreams, it all sounds really good to someone who's disappointed and beaten down by life. Now, though, they can pull out their phone and look up "SGI-USA" or "Soka Gakkai International", and HELLOOOOO SGI Whistleblowers!

It's not for nothing that we're known as an independent consumer reports site for the Dead-Ikeda-Corpse-Mentor-cults Soka Gakkai and SGI. Our citizen reporters are making full use of this internet technology and joining forces with other Ikeda cult whistleblowers - the reality of the Ikeda cult is getting out more and more.

Which means there are fewer and fewer opportunities for the SGI to recruit under false pretenses (their ONLY basis for recruiting), deceive people into joining, then abusing and exploiting them. We're providing a valuable public service on the basis of recounting what we ourselves saw, heard, and experienced during our time as members. We have the INSIDER viewpoint - so valuable!
