    If you criticize Soka Gakkai (or any other religion) be careful you know your audience well enough that they are not actually a member to avoid embarrassment (or post online anonymously like I am now). I had a very nice private student who is/was one (I don't know what she's doing now). But if you ask Japanese non members they will often tell you the general image of them is they are a bit...well...less than educated. Again SG members please don't blast me because this what often Japanese people, in Japan say- it's not my opinion. The general non SG population could be wrong but that's what they say. But I knew one person who had a Master's degree...

    For me, personally, they are annoying with persistence and sometimes deception.

    One person tried to get me to join more than once by pulling an Amway- now an ex-friend.

    They bug people weekend mornings to vote for the politician(s) SG supports.

    If someone is in a life-changing and perhaps challenging situation such as personal tragedy, pregnancy (positive-usually, but still challenging), divorce, sickness or other thing they may seek you out very annoyingly when you really don't need it and you want to be left alone. But with that 'help' it's pretty much a campaign to support that group since they always bring and/or leave SG material where you can easily find the picture of Mr. Ikeda.

    ...stuff like that, but the above are my personal experiences.
