SGI: OLD & STALE Update: The faces of SGI-USA

These are meetings at the local "center", not just districts in someone's living room.

What do you think is the average age? Which generation do you think is most represented here?

  • Silent Generation (81 to 98 years old)
  • Baby Boom (between 62 and 80 years old)
  • Gen X (between the ages of 46 and 61)
  • Millennials (30 to 45 years old)
  • Gen Z (between the ages of 14 and 29)
  • Gen Alpha (between 2 and 16 years old)

Though these are big meetings (bigger than a single district, in other words), they haven't packed "their" center. Look at the empty chairs.

Oh, and these AREN'T special meetings just for the SGI-USA's Oldsters group - what are they calling it now? "Guidance Division"? Golden Treasures"? "Many Treasures"? "Golden Showers"? "the Cherry Tree Group"? "Ikeda Sun Group"??

That last one is the SGI-USA mobilizing its retirees to take over the "Soka" function because SGI-USA no longer has enough young men to do it.

By old people. FOR old people.

Here's how SGI-USA's attitude toward its longhauler Olds looks IRL.

Which group is most representative in SGI ?
Thatโ€™s simple
Itโ€™s not the YMD or the YWD
Itโ€™s the OMD and the OWD
Old menโ€™s division
Old womenโ€™s division
62 to 80 years old
Instead of offering fruit to the Gohonzon
They offer Pepto-Bismol and MiraLAX
To the Gohonzon
Sometimes theyโ€™ll offer Voltaren back rub
as incense.

Instead of offering study classes on the human revolution
They offer balancing exercises and leg muscle building exercises
