Why does the SGI continue to attract so many highly talented artists like Tine Turner?
That is nothing different from any other cult... they all do it... they deliberately entice celebrities so they can use them to attract more members.

...suspected of damaging property after a Yoshinoya restaurant in Osaka was forced to discard red pickled ginger toppings and sanitize its containers.
You mean they don't normally sanitise the containers every day? I guess they just put more in when empty never cleaning anything. Yuck.
I think the real damage is to the brand.
