My story of what its like to be married to an Amway cult follower. I expose the lies that our upline told and what happens at Amway meetings and functions. I leave the explanations of why Amway is a poor business opportunity or the tool scam to other bloggers. This blog mainly exists to curse out my former upline, aka the cult leaders, and to let everyone know what kind of idiots I had to put up with. Feel free to join in or live vicariously!

Comments are moderated but we publish just about everything. Even brainwashed ambots who show up here to accuse us of not trying hard enough and that we are lazy, quitters, negative, unchristian dreamstealers. Like we haven’t heard that Amspeak abuse from the assholes in our upline!
If your comment didn’t get published it could be one of these reasons:
1. Is it the weekend? We don’t moderate comments on weekends. Maybe not every day during the week either. Patience.
2. Racist/bigoted comments? Take that shit somewhere else.
3. Naming names? Public figures like politicians and actors and people known in Amway are probably OK – the owners, Diamonds with CDs or who speak at functions, people in Amway’s publicity department who write press releases and blogs. Its humiliating for people to admit their association with Amway so respect their privacy if they’re not out there telling everyone about the love of their life.
4. Gossip that serves no purpose. There are other places to dish about what Diamonds are having affairs or guessing why they’re getting divorced. If you absolutely must share that here – don’t name names. I get too many nosy ambots searching for this. Lets not help them find this shit.
5. Posting something creepy anonymously and we can’t track your location because you’re on a mobile device or using hide my ass or some other proxy. I attracted an obsessed fan and one of my blog administrators attracted a cyberstalker. Lets keep it safe for everyone. Anonymous is OK. Creepy anonymous and hiding – go fuck yourselves!
6. Posting something that serves no purpose other than to cause fighting.
7. Posting bullshit Amway propaganda. We might publish that comment to make fun of you. Otherwise take your agenda somewhere else. Not interested.
8. Notice how this blog is written in English? That's our language so keep your comments in English too. If you leave a comment written in another language then we either have to use Google translate to put it into English so everyone can understand what you wrote or we can hit the Delete button. Guess which one is easier for us to do?
9. We suspect you're a troublemaking Amway asshole.
10. Your comment got caught in the spam filter. Gets checked occasionally. We’ll get to you eventually and approve it as long as it really isn’t spam.
I think a better description is you refused to listen to their lies, mainly the Amway Tool Scam lie. Were you aware they make most of their money from the tools, not Amway?
ReplyDeleteNo, I didn't know about the real scam regarding the tools until after I'd disassociated myself from these people.
ReplyDeleteDo you recognize a scam of this scale fully explains the upline behavior?
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize it at the time, but I see it now.
ReplyDeleteWhen were you last involved with Amway as an IBO?
ReplyDeleteInvolved? Not my choice of word, but a couple of years ago.
ReplyDeleteWould you like to join a lawsuit for fraud against Amway?
ReplyDeleteAlthough that's not out of the question my preference would be a lawsuit against the upline because those are the real troublemakers who made my life hell.
ReplyDeleteThe reasons Amway is being sued are include, but is not limited to:
ReplyDelete1. They sued me first, for notifying IBOs about the Amway Tool Scam, we are counter suing,
2. Amway has known about the tool scam for several decades, spoke out against it, but decided to actively support it,
3. Amway is a more precise target,
4. Amway has deeper pockets,
5. The UK and India successfully went after Amway only, and expected them to rein in the upline LCKs,
6. Since this is a fraud/conspiracy case, they are free to get their pound of flesh from the upline, and
7. Other MLMs don't allow this type of upline LCK behavior, so Amway has the authority to make the changes with the upline LCKs.

Your agenda is different than mine. I admire people who sue Amway. Takes a lot of guts to go against any company that can afford expensive lawyers and their legal power. It seems from what I've read about Amway lawsuits its cheaper for them to settle than to actually make any changes.
ReplyDeleteI doubt our agendas are that much different. I think we both want to get rid of the scam the Amway Tool Scam (ATS) business represents, and the outrageous behavior that is a necessary part of the ATS. Correct?
ReplyDeleteI found a lawyer who is willing to work on a contingency basis. He gets paid a percentage of what is awarded, nothing if he loses, which makes him VERY motivated to win. The more people who join, the more he makes, and that's a win-win scenario.
I won't be "cheap" to settle with, Amway is responsible for not only the monetary loses, but 12 years of my spare time chasing an illusion while my 2 young boys were growing up, as well as over 5 years of dodging my pursuing them to do the right thing, and shut down the Amway Tool Scam. I can be bought, but it won't be cheap (I assume the same applies to you). I agree the pain of Amway staying the same has to be greater than the pain of change for them to make changes, and our blogs represent 2 needles in their sides. I hope you will reconsider.
