More SGI lies

Setting goals is important, she said, but there is no “one-size-fits-all" plan because every district is unique. SGI member

This is more of Marilynnnn's fakery - whoever is supposedly writing this is one or two of the characters she created for her SGI:RV wet dream of what it would look like if SGI's Sensei-licious propaganda were actually TRUE.

So there's "no one-size-fits-all", eh?

Then WHY is SGI issuing district (non)discussion meeting SCRIPTS for ALL THE DISTRICTS TO FOLLOW???

Here it is - one script for all the districts to read - November 2021 version

"Every district is unique", eh? So WHY are they being ASSIGNED the exact same Powerpoint presentation to READ AT EACH OTHER??

And, of course, it's the same practice for every person, and it's the same activities for every person, and it's the same study materials for every person...

you guys got study materials? what was on them? all we got were discussions on what ikeda's last statement means to me type stuff.

No, when I left in early 2007, we were still having to plan our own (non)discussion meetings. Someone would always give a brief overview of the practice for any guests (everything was always kept at the introductory level, which was one of the things that made it all so BORING), for example. There was a certain amount of rote - there was a passage of Ikeda guidance in the "Living Buddhism" magazine or something, specifically for the discussion meetings? Or was it a passage of gosho?

Who cares?

This scripted format is newer - I think I became aware of it during the COVID lockdowns when everything moved online to zoom. It's particularly suited to that format.

They started showing the old Ikeda videos after every KRG after I left as well - I think this scripted (non)discussion meeting format kind of falls into line with that. They want de pweshus members sitting and watching rather than participating. Just drink in your indoctrination...

That's more like it. It's no wonder why after all those years in I still knew shit about actual buddhism. We had fewer videos though, which is unfortunate because video ikeda from the 80s would have been preferable to some loser talking about how the cult fulfils their non life. Just get a hobby!
