​I have to confess I have been practicing in SSA for many decades, currently serving as a WD dist ldr who have been a youth ldr for decades and have been contributing in special /cultural group. I have already stopped chanting for close to 3 years and none of my WD seniors sense it.

In fact, i hinted to my ldrs that i wanna step down but they will constantly "psycho" me to stay on, rather than going deeper what was the ultimate reason which made me wanting to stop performing the leadership. Since they couldn't get my hints, i have to continue to share goshos and conduct meeting although my belief is the Almighty 1. I find this an irony! I cannot help it but to perform dual-roles in two entirely different religion

I go over to another religion group is because I feel warmth and friendship over there. In SSA, there are only rigid policies and they refuse to let us use soc media. In the other sect, i can contribute more in terms of skills and "CCA". In SSA, the top leaders put the blame that you couldn't breakthrough and you couldn't excel in your personal life. I felt worse after having a dialogue with them! I no longer wish to see them

To conclude, I am in the region of the Sun (in Singapore), ND buddhism is also a buddhism of the sun, but I no longer feel sunny about it.
Why do I dare to share my confession to HK? This is because of a recent persecuted friend encouraged me to do so, she mentioned that it is better to share than to bottle the toxins.
I do not understand what is wrong with like-minded individuals grouping together to chant and to learn about Sensei or the goshos, this is still much better than those who claimed they are in SGS yet their behaviour doesnt carry out a true disciple of Sensei. Is this a true reflection of myself, probably.

Hello everyone, this is the concluding part of the mail and the entire HK Editorial Team finds ourselves sick to the stomach after reading.  He (or It?) is absolute revolting.  This is part 3 of 3

​CYCLES OF AFFECTIONS, REJECTION AND RECONCILIATION
Fair enough, during this period, there were occasions where Mr G would shower Ms J with love, dazzling her with flowers, just like the early days of their relationship.

Despite that, Ms J's life with Mr G was a never-ending rollercoaster of emotional turmoil. Every day felt like a new challenge, in which Ms J described it to be like walking through a minefield. One wrong step she took would set Mr G off to unleash a torrent of criticism and rejection. Just when she thought she could endure no more after weeks of stonewalling, he would suddenly transform, apologize to her and ask for forgiveness. Sometimes, he would also play victim, causing Ms J to empathise with him and pulling Ms J back to him.

However, Ms J knew all too well that this relief from conflict was temporary, as the cycle would inevitably repeat itself. The uncertainty of it all was almost unbearable, a constant reminder that she was powerless in the face of her husband's unpredictable moods.

DIVORCE AND HURT EGO
Throughout these 3 years of anguish, it was my friend and the other WDs who supported Ms J patiently. They encouraged her warmly and guided her back to the Gohonzon. Using Sensei’s guidance, they shared with her there was no escape nor fast solution to solve this issue, but to face it head-on so that she can transform her karma into mission. As she continued to strengthen her faith and chanted an hour of daimoku every day, she developed a life state that is not easily affected by his every mood.

During this period, the YMDs and MDs had also provided Mr G a fair share of support by continuously trying to engage him, whom they regarded as their comrades since their YMD days. They encouraged him and chanted with him to help him break through his own fundamental darkness.

Eventually, by January 2022, the couple decided to go for separation. Despite verbally agreeing to the divorce, Mr G had begun to harbour plans to make things difficult for Ms J as revenge.

After the decision to go for separation was made, Ms J and her two daughters shifted out and went back to stay at her mum’s place. Mr G immediately changed the padlock to their house. On the day Ms J wanted to take back her own belongings, he did not allow her to bring her friend to help pack and shift her stuff. He also wanted her to finish moving 4 years of belonging within less than 4 hours. That morning, Ms J arrived alone and could only make two trips, despite using 2 large luggage bags to pack as much things as she could.

However, that same afternoon, another incident triggered Mr G. He had originally planned to use her steamboat for his CNY gathering without seeking her permission, and got pissed off when Ms J brought it back. Out of rage, he threatened to throw the rest of Ms J’s belongings, including her full set of new NHR books into the rubbish chute.

When the YMDs and MDs got to know of Mr G’s tyrannical treatment towards their fellow WD, they could not leave this unchallenged and felt that they needed to protect the WD. They rationalised with Mr G calmly and told him to allow Ms J to retrieve her belongings. Despite acceding to the YMDs and MDs’ request to let Ms J take her belongings, deep down, Mr G was infuriated for being challenged by his own comrades which greatly hurt his ego.

HATRED AND GRUDGE
Mr G blamed the WDs for making him lose control over his wife. He accused them of leading her astray. Mr G also blamed the YMD and MDs who had intervened in the above incident and not standing on his side. Mr G once told Ms J, he felt that the whole world is standing on the side of Ms J and against him.

This vengeance caused him to turn not only against his wife but against all his buddies who painstakingly encouraged him for the past 10 years, through his first divorce and numerous work problems and even encouraging his son from his first marriage.

CONCLUSION
I am writing this to expose the ugliness and baseless character of Mr G. What's even worse is how the top leaders of SGS are exploiting this person's story to unfairly target every member of our study group. If we don't speak up, the SGS members will remain unaware of the deceitful actions taking place behind the scenes by the ruthless top leader who is ready to do whatever it takes to persecute due to a personal grudge.

​​Hello everyone, this is the 2nd part of the mail and please be warned that the triggering of a flurry of emotions may occur after reading.  HK Editorial Team finds it heart wrenching ourselves.  This is part 2 of 3

​We have included the email content below for your reading. 

(2) Attacking on kids
Mr G also subjected Ms J to much mental torment through his treatment towards her two daughters. The two school-going daughters had to go through an unbelievable level of emotional upheaval as a result of his behaviour. Mr G was expecting the trip to Taiwan in December to be a couple's getaway and was very upset when Ms J wanted to bring both kids along. He displayed his annoyance throughout the entire trip, walking way in front of them all the time. One night during the trip, he even called the younger daughter “a monster, just like your father” when she threw a tantrum. This made the already sobbing girl cry more ferociously.
Mr G’s emotions were as erratic as the weather. Whenever he was on good terms with Ms J, he would be kind to the girls, let them use his laptop and sit on his lap or even snap selfies with them and share on social media. However, on days or weeks when he decided to stonewall Ms J, he would ignore the girls’ greetings or treat them coldly if they approached him. There were occasions where he even told them not to call him “Daddy” but “Uncle G” instead, saying “I am not your daddy”. His inconsistent behaviour confused the girls as they could not comprehend it at their young age.
Another incident involved Mr G locking Ms J out of the master bedroom following a quarrel. In the middle of the night, he tossed a pillow forcefully at Ms J's face after seeing her sleeping calmly in the daughters' room together with her two daughters on their mattress. He then kicked the mattress on which they were all sleeping and insisted on "talking things out", forbidding Ms J to go back to sleep. 
Both children felt apprehensive as a result of Mr G's merciless, senseless aggression against Ms J, but they also grew protective of their mother. During another conflict, in which Mr G threatened in front of the girls to chase Ms J out of the house the very night, the girls asked their mother if she had enough money to move house. One could sense the enormous weight these two little children had to bear from their innocent question as they so desperately wanted to keep their mother safe. Though Ms J never bad-mouth Mr G in front of the girls, both asked her mum more than once, “Why do you have to marry Daddy?”

(3) Self-Centred and Lack of Empathy
The couple shifted back to stay with Ms J’s mum whose cancer is in its final stage. As Ms J’s mum continued to weaken, Ms J had to sleep with her in case of emergency and to attend to her toileting needs. Instead of supporting the already physically exhausted Ms J, Mr G took issue with Ms J not sleeping with him and requested the couple spend some nights at their own house. Ms J was hesitant as no one else could assist her mum. Mr G was not only unable to empathize, but blamed Ms J for not attending to his needs. He accused her of placing him last priority below her mum and daughters.

During such times, Ms J would frequently initiate lengthy conversations that left her feeling exhausted. Mr G would never stop rationalizing and insinuating that the issue was Ms J's, and she would always end up taking the blame. Mr G prevented deeper conversation from taking place by refusing to be emotionally open, and the root of the issues were frequently not addressed.

Hello everyone, HK had received an anonymous email that we think closely associated with the ongoing issues within SGS.  This is another side of the story.  We will break down the mail into 3 parts, this is part 1 of 3

​​We have included the email content below for your reading. 

Hi Hosshaku Kempon,
​
Thank you for providing us with this opportunity to tell our side of the story.

This communication is intended to clarify the source of the alleged "evidence" that SGS top leaders have against this study group, which they have labeled a faction. Mr G, an MD member, gave and twisted these to a certain top leader, who is more than happy to use it as revenge for a personal grudge more than 10 years ago.

We believed Mr G acted with malice to exact revenge on his ex-wife, Ms J, who had requested a divorce after being subjected to an abusive marriage.
 
THREATS OF DIVORCE AND AGGRESSION
Ms J phoned my friend, a mere acquaintance, in tears in July 2019, just two months after their marriage. Mr G blamed Ms J for the cause of their disagreement. He even removed his wedding band and threatened to divorce her. Ms J had reached out to my friend, asking if she could get some of Mr G's buddies to persuade him to have a heart-to-heart open dialogue with Ms J to address the matter between them instead of cutting her off.

When Ms J got home from work later that day, she discovered she was locked out of their house because Mr G placed a new padlock on the door. Mr G clearly intended to convey a strong message to Ms J that he had cut her off totally. She was abandoned outside, exposed and wondering what she had done to deserve such treatment. She sought sanctuary at my friend’s house out of desperation. At around 11pm when she returned to check, the padlock was removed and she was able to return home.
 
UNREASONABLE BEHAVIOUR
Over the next 2 years, Mr G’s erratic behaviour became more apparent. Whenever he was triggered, he would either give Ms J the silent treatment or respond to her with sarcasm for days or even weeks. Even simple whatsapp messages about daily meals and childcare arrangements (for Ms J's girls from her first marriage) would frustrate Ms J since Mr G would choose whether or not to respond based on his whims and fancy. 

There were a few incidents that my friend was aware of that illustrated Mr G’s unreasonable behaviour:

(1) Possessive Behaviour

Throughout their marriage, Mr G attempted to control who Ms J could meet and would purposely make things difficult when she did meet up with her friends or members. My friend remembered this incident in which Ms J had failed to report to Mr G about her whereabout via whatsapp upon arrival at the WD’s house for a home-visit. He spammed her phone with messages. By about 9.30pm, when the dialogue ended and Ms J finally took out her phone to check her messages, she was shocked Mr G had blocked her on whatsapp, blaming her for being insensitive to his concern. My friend could still remember vividly the look of distress on Ms J’s face the moment she realized the husband shut her out again.

When Mr G and Ms J argued, he would occasionally accuse her of having an affair with another man or sarcastically state how her ex-husband must have felt when she was still with him. Occasionally, he would also snoop through her phone and messages, justifying it when discovered, saying she had previously given him her password. Every time he was not happy, he would ask her to move back to her mum’s place.

There was once where they had a disagreement the night before with tensions carried over into the morning. Ms J made the decision to work from her mother’s house but Mr G forbade her to and locked her work backpack in the room with him. She repeatedly pleaded with Mr G to return her possessions but was coldly rejected. Again, without her money, phones, car key, or work laptop, she was in a difficult predicament. Ms J had to walk across the estate to my friend’s house for assistance in order to inform her superior that she had to apply for leave that day and also to get in touch with her brother so he could assist in arranging childcare for her girls.
