Amway WWDB Free Enterprise Days 2011

This post’s purpose is to say hi to IBO’s who are searching for information for Amway WWDB Free Enterprise Days. I’ve already had searchers looking for this information who are ending up at my post about how we had to buy tickets to FED before leaving Family Reunion.

What do I know about Free Enterprise Days that Amway and World Wide Dream Builders will be holding in 2011? Not a thing. It will probably cost $125 per person and be held in October if history repeats itself.

I also know that several of my posts are in the top 5 Google search for Amway WWDB Free Enterprise Days 2011. What is the number one slot? A paid ad by Amway!!! Ha ha! The only way they can get a higher spot than me on the old Google search is to pay for it. Even I am not that desperate!

Wouldn’t it just be simpler - and possibly even cheaper - for Amway to pay me a few million to shut down my blog and go away?

No one clicks on their paid ad anyway if they’re searching for information on WWDB Free Enterprise Days. IBO’s already know the Amway site is all about selling Amway products not function information. So naturally they click on the links to my blog because they’re desperate to find any information.

Some dumb ass marketing and promotions guru at Amway head office is doing a shitty job buying Google ads!

I’ll probably post more information as the time draws nearer. In the meantime I’ll keep reeling those IBO’s in.

Another Platinum Bites The Dust

A few weeks ago we were having dinner with a friend who also happens to know and dislike our former Platinum from the first time we were in Amway and WWDB over 10 years ago. Our friend was never in Amway. She’s not friends with our former Platinum either, just knew her back then through mutual acquaintances.

She told us that she knows someone who is still in Amway who knows our former Platinum, not sure if in the same downline or crossline or what. Anyway according to the Amway insider our former Platinum did something bad and got booted out of Amway.

When we knew her I didn’t like her. She was a mean, bossy bitch. To put a positive spin I do not remember feeling that we were in a cult or that there was any brainwashing going on. I don’t know if cult techniques weren’t encouraged back then in World Wide Dream Builders or if she violated the be-a-good-cult-leader policy or if she sucked at brainwashing. I don’t know. All I can say is back then we lost a few thousand dollars, never signed up any downline, never made any money and quit. There was no emotional distress.

The horror didn’t come until the last round of Amway. That was the full hell, sheer terror, full-blown cult version of Amway.

As far as I’m concerned Amway gave the wrong Platinum the boot. Our last Platinum is more deserving. He’s a liar and he fucks over Amway and steals from them. Apparently those are traits that Amway likes and encourages in their Platinums because he’s still strutting around being the arrogant asshole top shit Amway commissioned saleman that he thinks is the best job in the world.

Terminating a Platinum? Why would Amway do that? Someone at the Platinum level probably has at least $25,000 a month in downline sales going through Amway. Amway doesn’t want to lose those kinds of sales.

So why would Amway terminate our first Platinum? For being a mean bitch? Not likely. They’d have very few Platinums left if they used that criteria.

Terminate a Platinum for lying to their downline? Holy shit! Amway would have zero Platinums!

Terminate a Platinum for lying to Amway’s head office and stealing from them? Nope. Our former Platinum is living proof that a Platinum can get away with that and Amway doesn’t give a shit and doesn’t do nothing.

Our first Platinum did not abuse the downline the way our last Platinum did so if someone is going to get booted out of Amway for being an asshole to their downline it should have been the pompous sack of shit not the mean, bossy bitch.

So much for her being a “business owner”. I don’t know of any real business owner who owns a legitimate business that can get fired. You own your own business don’t you. You’re the boss. Who can fire you? Can you fire yourself? Ha ha!

My husband and I have operated a business for many years. Who can fire us? I suppose we could fire each other. What fun would that be? It would be kind of dumb. Give the other guy more work to do.

Just one of the many lies is the Amway bullshit that you’re a business owner and you own your own Amway business. The truth is you can get your “business” ripped away from you at any time for apparently no good reason after spending years and thousands of dollars on the Amway scam. Our first Platinum is proof of this.

Oh well. It couldn’t have happened to a nicer person! Ha ha!

One down one to go......

Can You Get The Free Amway Products and Then Quit?

Interesting. A Google search for “can you get the free Amway products and then quit” brought a searcher to my blog.

All I could think was what the hell are the free Amway products? Those bastards don’t give nothing away for free.

Signing up for Amway including the starter kit that was around $150. My memory might be a little off. It was broken down to something like $60 for the Amway annual membership and $90 worth of Amway products. I could be $10 or so off in my recollection but I’m in the ballpark.

In the Amway literature it says you are not required to buy the starter kit of Amway products but the upline rides your ass as soon as they’ve recruited you to sign your life away to the cult. They say “you want to be a serious business builder don’t you? Then you have to buy the starter kit. You can try the products yourself and tell others how good they are or you can give them away. If you give them away they become marketing and promotional material for your business and you can deduct them when you do your income taxes.”

I’m not sure if this unfortunate recruit was lied to and told the cost to join Amway is $150 and you get “free” products for that price. IBO’s use whatever lies they can to sign up an IBO so that’s my guess.

More than likely my guess is dead on than the fantasy that Amway is actually giving away free products!

Its possible someone in this IBO’s upline pulled a fast one on Amway like our Platinum frequently did to screw over Amway. He’d call Amway and say he sold a case of XS Energy Drinks (or any other equally disgusting Amway product) and say the buyer hated the product and he’d ask for a replacement, another flavor to see if the sucker would like it better. So our lying Platinum constantly got freebies that way by pretending all his customers hated the Amway products. Hating Amway products is not such a far stretch from the truth!

The only other instances of free products that I can think of is if someone in Amway’s shipping department fucked up when picking the order and put something extra into the case. Hey some IBO gets free stuff they’re not going to phone head office and bitch about it. They’re going to keep it. After all Amway is ripping everyone off with their high prices they feel entitled to keep any freebies that end up getting shipped to them.

And quite rightly so I say.

So to the IBO who found their way here with the question can you get the free Amway products and then quit, I say absolutely you can quit ASAP. That’s the best thing you can do! Quit the fucking cult! The sooner the better so you can get a refund on your Amway membership. And yes more than likely Amway will not want their shitty products in the starter kit returned so you can keep the “free” Amway products.

And that in a nutshell is how you get free Amway products. Though why anyone would want them is the bigger mystery.

Wow! Talk about a treasure! Struck gold on this one!

Brainwashed Ambots Will Never Understand

Contrary to brainwashed ambot opinion, I am not consumed with others who are pursuing something better.

I am consumed with letting other people know how I feel about the assholes in our Amway upline.

I’ve been accused of knocking down business owners because I’m too lazy to pursue it myself? Yeah right I’m a lazy business owner. I bet there are many IBO’s out there who wished they could have my kind of lazy in the form of a 6 figure income. If I wasn’t so lazy I could probably be in the 7 figures! Ha ha!!!

The only Amway “business owners” that I knock down are the fucking assholes in my upline. I knock them down because they’re fucking assholes not because they “own” a business or are trying to make a better life for themselves. If they think Amway is the answer to their prayers and the path to financial freedom that’s their problem. Read the small print!

Brainwashed IBO's are the biggest judgmental people around. Some show up accidentally or on purpose at anti-Amway blogs and accuse the blogger of judging others! Ha! Look in the mirror! Most of us have agendas and its gone nothing to do with you personally. If we can help some IBO's find the strength to leave Amway then that's a good thing. Personally I don't care if an IBO chooses to turn a blind eye to the horrors I went through thanks to our fucking upline brainwashing my husband. Its my story and I'll tell it how I want. If you don't like to hear about the anguish I went through in Amway hell then don't come here and read my blog.

I also love how brainwashed ambots accuse legitimate business owners of being lazy but those brainwashed ambots are too lazy to become real business owners instead of throwing away their money on a pretend business. They pin their shaky future on Amway with a less than 1% chance of making a profit. Love it!

If these horrified IBO's come back to my blog I hope you one day they will know what it is like to be a successful business owner. Its wonderful running a legitimate business setting your own hours, deciding on your own policies, making your own prices, deciding what you’ll wear in the morning, deciding when and how long to take vacations. Go to your library and check out books about starting your own business and get some ideas. There are many business you can get into that have low start up and operating costs. You’ll probably be investing less money than you do in Amway.

You ambots need to get rid of your negative attitude towards people who are not involved in Amway and that might require counselling because of how the cult has brainwashed you. You need to understand that there is nothing wrong with people who have jobs. Likewise there is nothing wrong with people who own their own businesses that are not Amway businesses. You ambots can not expect to be successful in Amway or anything else when you’re busy sneering at people and looking down your nose at them just because they’re not associated with Amway. Once you get that through your head you might be open to receiving genuine information on running a legitimate business. Good luck to you.

Amway and our asshole upline are no longer hurting me and my husband. Now its my time to turn the tables by blogging about our awful Amway experience and the upline abuse.

“PLEASE Join My Amway Scam!” Begs the Lousy Shitfaced IBO

This post is dedicated to the lousy shitfaced IBO who phoned Ambot at 11pm last night to shoot the shit. That fucker quit Amway and is involved in another MLM scam. Fucking moron! Quit pissing me off! Leave us alone or read all about it in my blog!!!!

Don’t you hate it how these Amway bastards show up with their scheme and tell us how we can make $100,000/year. Minimum!

To most people $100,000/year is a pretty decent income so that might generate some interest if you’re working a minimum wage job or your job/career might many years to work yourself up to a good paying income.

Just because you put on a business suit and carry a cell phone that is constantly ringing with calls from your upline or beeping to announce yet another text message from your upline and you’re trying to bullshit others that you’re rich and important doesn’t mean you really have the cashola no matter how hard you pretend.

Many of the Amway “businessmen” in our line worked customer service or labor jobs and aren’t earning anywhere near that magical $100,000 number. This is what happens in your 20’s. It takes awhile to build up skills and marketability to command a decent income. Maybe that’ll happen at age 30 or maybe not until 50 or 60. That doesn’t mean to tide yourself over in the meantime that you should go around scamming others to join your Amway cult.

I just can’t believe that Ambot would fall for that shit. I guess the promises of having residual income of $100,000/year rolling in for the rest of his life sounded good. Too good to be true! He believed those lousy troublemaking lying IBO bastards. Anything looks good on paper. Logistically executing an Amway/WWDB business plan designed for failure is another story. A story of emotional distress and financial losses that is.

Those lying IBO’s told Ambot he must counsel with upline and take the advice of these fucking assholes who don’t have education or degrees in counselling whether it be financial or family or marriage or dealing with death or whatever. No one in our upline was qualified to offer any type of counselling services.

But that won’t stop a fucking Amway IBO. Just because they’re in Amway means they’re better than everyone else and don’t need a stinking education to “counsel” and give bad advice and destroy people. That’s all part of the Amway scheme.

Obviously Ambot didn’t take as good a look at those fucking lying Amway IBO’s as I did. Lying bastards who promised him how they’d all get rich in Amway and be lazing around the beaches of the world sucking back mai tais while the endless supply of money comes rolling in and they never work again.

So we’re supposed to “counsel with upline” who were either too young to have saved money for a down payment on a house or were old enough that they should have been homeowners but were too busy giving away all their money to the great Amway god so they couldn’t swing it. Ambot doesn’t see something wrong with this picture? We’ve been homeowners for years and Ambot thinks its rational to take financial advice from kids who've never owned a house and don’t know piss all about the financial responsibilities that come with home ownership? There’s more to owning a home that coming up with monthly mortgage payments. It means replacing appliances when they break down. It means renovating and making repairs as needed. It means keeping a yard neat and tidy. Its called taking pride in home ownership. You know how it is when you’re in a neighborhood where most of the houses have the lawns mowed, painting touch ups down, nice flower beds, etc. And then you see the one house with the peeling paint, knee high weeds, abandoned cars, gutters falling off, and a tarpaulin over the leaky roof. Why not put a big sign outside: Renters live here!

Amway IBOs in our upline know nothing about owning a home and the upkeep. They are not on the same level as us. Maybe in 20 or 30 years when they have bought a house they’ll understand but for now they don’t know nothing. Counsel with upline! And their advice? Skip mortgage payments. Don't pay your utility bills. Use that money to buy Amway tools instead. Wow! Great idea! Wreck our credit rating! Then we can be Amway losers like you!

Upline’s advice on my car? I should sell my nice car, buy a 30 year old BWM clunker for a few hundred bucks and then use the thousands of dollars difference from the sale of my car and invest it in the Amway business and buy lots of Amway products and Amway tools. Invest in my business? Are you kidding me?

Got two words for you asshole: fuck off! Read into that my little message to last nights late night caller.

So here we are, already business owners, earning a good income, own a house, own nice cars, have nice furniture, have investments, take vacations, and no debt. And then some fucking Amway asshole shows up to destroy everything we have.

Jealousy? Is that what drives IBO’s to destroy others lives? What about all that bullshit they spout about helping others? Blessing others? Those greedy bastards don't give a shit about anyone but themselves.

Did Ambot not take a good look at the downhill adjustments we’d have to make to our lives to be fucking Amway business owners so we could be equal to our upline?

Why doesn’t Ambot see this? Because he’s been brainwashed into the Amway cult and is too busy fawning over these new cult friends who in 2 to 5 years are all going to be rich together.

The Amway IBO losers in our upline have been trained to lie and scam to recruit downline and then bully them into buying Amway products and attending functions.

What wonderful qualities a human being should have!

Thanks for brainwashing my husband into believing the only way to success is by being a liar.

I got him out before it was too late.

You fucking Amway warriors lost this battle!

Uncle Asshole

Interesting tidbit that Ambot met a couple at a mutual friend’s place and the wife’s uncle used to be an Amway Diamond. I think Ambot might have told me about them but I forgot until we ran into the husband recently at the mutual friends. We were just leaving as he arrived but we chatted with him for a few minutes and it was clear this guy knew a thing or two about Amway and nothing good. It was after we were driving home that Ambot told me he’d run into the guy before with his wife and found out the story. Basically they hate Amway and the misery and destruction it brought to her father and their family.

Like most Diamonds, Uncle Asshole didn’t stay too long on his shaky spot on the crumbling Amway pyramid because Uncle Asshole is no longer a Diamond. Its unknown if he’s still in Amway though they believe so but don’t know what level on the pyramid he’s currently sitting at because Uncle Asshole is no longer actively running meetings and destroying other lives.

Uncle Asshole recruited his brother, this fellow’s father-in-law, into Amway. This was obviously a long time ago back in the 90’s because he said his father-in-law managed to reach the level of direct seller (I think it used to be called) known as Platinum today.

Nothing good can ever come off Amway and since those dark days the two families have been estranged. A lot of bad feelings. They are well aware of the tool scam and how slim the possibility is of getting to a level in Amway where you make money. I’m sure Uncle Asshole probably bullied his brother because the son-in-law said Uncle Asshole called his brother a loser and told him he’ll be broke for the rest of his life and blah, blah, blah the usual brainwashing, negative shit we’ve all come to know from our negative associations with Amway scumbags. Uncle Asshole is reponsible for bringing them financial losses, emotional distress, and ripping apart the family.

Son-in-law said the brothers were chasing an impossible dream. Uncle Asshole spent a lot of time chastising his downline and bullying them into not quitting. Probably his father-in-law spent many hours each week convincing the cult followers in his downline not to leave. Usually when one person leaves then others start leaving. Its a crumbling pyramid. People get fed up after awhile of being constantly scolded. After all they are adults. Nowhere else does a real business owner have to report to someone else and be berated.

So there it is. I have now met someone who is distantly related to a former Amway Diamond. And has nothing nice to say about Amway.

Big surprise.

Neither do I.

Spending time in Amway is a torture chamber.

Its always nice to know what people think of you when you're an Amway IBO.

Assholes

Mind-controllers

Being in Amway = In “The Business” of Giving Away Your Money

It used to crack me up at Family Reunion or Free Enterprise Days and the Diamonds would get up on stage and talk about how they got into “the business” or how “the business” has changed their lives or how “the business” has allowed them to buy all the material possessions they desire.

“The business” indeed! Just call it what it is: Amway! Are you too embarrassed to say the “A” word? I think everyone in the audience knows what Amway is. Isn’t the audience full of IBO’s after all?

You chickenshit Ken and Barbies need to tell it like it is. They're a bunch of scammers who want you to be in the business of giving away your money to them all under the guise of Amway. Then they'll do a double whammy to scam more money out of you bullying you to buy tools to help you in your business of giving away your money. Tool scam!

Even though all those Ken and Barbies trooping across the stage yap about “the business” what they fail to tell the thousands of ambot worshippers in the audience is that the only business those lowly bastards will be in is the business of giving away their money.

It costs thousands of dollars to place a slab in the crumbling pyramid also known as the money pit.

Real business people are in the business of making money not in the business of giving away money to some lying weasel.

Our upline used to say even if you don’t make any money in Amway - that would be 99% of all IBO’s - that you’ll become a nicer person from your associations in Amway.

Yet another lie. When a person is in the business of giving away their money to support a collapsing pyramid they don’t become a nicer person for it. They don't become nicer to the associates they gave away their money to.

Amway = the business of giving away your money and your soul.

Wanna hear my Amway acronym dedicated to our Amway upline?

Amway = Asshole Motherfuckers Wrecking Attacking You!

How about a WWDB acronym dedicated to our WWDB upline?

WWDB = Worthless Whorebag Doublecrossing Bastards!

Ambot mentioned the name of one of those fucking upline idiots today so I have to get my agression out somehow at all the money those bastards cost us! And look! They lied! I didn't become nicer to any of them at all!

JC Penney Versus Amway Family Reunion

Ha ha once again JC Penney is having a doorbuster sale on the same day as Family Reunion. I had that dilemma. I knew JC Penney was having a kick ass sale on a fancy latte/cappuccino machine so I brought extra cash with me to Family Reunion. Unfortunately Ambot bragged about it to his upline who convinced him to loan it to buy a ticket for a crossline who didn’t have a ticket waiting for him at the registration desk even though he claimed he’d bought it online. In order to make himself look good and important Ambot offers up the latte machine money. I am PISSED. Really why did he have to brag about having extra cash? Its not of those fucking IBO’s business!

Oh wait. I forgot. This is Amway. Full of a bunch of fucking troublemaking meddling bastards who want to know EVERYTHING about their downline.

Fuck you!

Anyway I bought a latte/cappuccino machine that doesn’t have all the bells and whistles as the one I originally wanted in the doorcrasher sale but it gets the job done.

I checked the sale this year for coffee machines and there’s nothing I want. Well that could be because I have something similar already at home and not looking to upgrade.

But doesn’t it figure that JC Penney has its Saturday door crasher during Family Reunion weekend again? Its like a conspiracy. Someone in the JC Penney promotions department must have checked the Amway calendar and said: “I’ll fix those fucking IBO’s. I’ll hold the door crasher sale on the same day they’re at Family Reunion. That way those bastards can’t show up at the stores and hound our customers with their sales pitches.”

Now THERE’S a marketing strategy!

Emerald Teaches Us How To Go Out There and Get Customers!

In a meeting run by the asshole Emerald he said he or the sack of shit Platinum would teach us how to go out there and get customers.

What? You mean there’s more to it than sniping prospects at Safeway, Barnes & Noble, and the kids baseball game?

About an hour later he elaborates by saying the best recruits are people who are young enough not to have heard of Amway, in other words late teens to early 20’s are the best prospects.

The Emerald also extols the virtues of hounding single mothers and people in debt.

He doesn’t say that single mothers are necessarily in debt but he says they are most likely struggling financially and don’t have enough time to spend with their children and an Amway work at home job would be perfect for them. People in debt would like to get out of debt. (Oh boy would Amway be a horrible opportunity for them. Amway = MORE DEBT!!!)

So how do you find people in debt? Most people who are at their limit on 20 credit cards and behind on their rent and water bill don’t usually go around bragging about it. What is an IBO to do? Run up to random people and demand to know their financial position?

Uh huh, they’d probably get a big fuck off for their trouble.

How about sniping customers at Barnes & Noble who are looking at books on how to get out of debt?

IBO’s feel a sense of entitlement to prospecting at Barnes & Noble because that is one of the shops that Amway has a portal for online shopping. Unfortunately management disagrees. They say Amway IBO’s are the biggest violators of their “no soliciting” rule.

Back to the bullshit about teaching IBO’s to go out there and get customers. Like everything else to do with Amway its nothing but hot air. They never discussed anything about how to go out there and get customers other than a vague description of the people the IBO’s should be targeting - single mothers and people in debt. No helpful advice on how to convince these people who can least afford it to spend money chasing Amway dreams of riches.

Normally when someone teaches you to do something there are step by step instructions. Its like learning to drive a car. You don’t just go out and get a car, get in, and start driving without instructions. Well I guess you could but the results would likely be disastrous.

Just like Amway!

There are no instructions on how to recruit an Amway prospect other than get out there and lie to them. Don’t tell them it has anything to do with Amway just tell them its an awesome business opportunity and you’ll get rich working part time in the next 2 to 5 years. Lie to them. Give them any line you can think of to trick them into getting to an Amway meeting and the cult leader will do the rest of the work for you at convincing them to sign up.

Does Walmart have to lie to get customers to come into the store? Does Starbucks have to lie to get customers? Does Wendy’s have to lie to get customers?

Offer a product that people want, don’t rip them off, and the customers will come. You don’t have to go out and hunt them down. That’s the difference between a legitimate business and a scam.

The asshole Emerald never did tell us how to go out there and get customers but he did teach us a lot about bringing misery to people’s lives.

Starting Over After Amway, free ebook of Start Over Finish Rich

There are stories all over the Internet about financial devastation following departure from Amway. Sad stories. Mountains of credit card debt. Tens of thousands of dollars from savings accounts gone. Houses being foreclosed. Declaring bankruptcy.

The financial devastation the Amway cult leaves in its wake is horrifying. Most of this financial disaster is a direct result of counselling with upline. In most cases those bastards do not have the required education or experience to be any kind of counsellors, much less financial advisors.

Amway cult leaders especially like finding new blood who own houses. Or more accurately are co-owners with the bank! Our asshole Emerald counselled Ambot to take out a home owner’s line of credit on the equity on our house or a second mortgage to pay off his credit cards. Fortunately the house is also in my name and I refused to listen to that fucking idiot. We are NOT going to lose our house because of bad advice from an Amway cult leader. Of course the reason the upline counsels to do whatever you can in regards to taking out a loan against your house to pay off your credit cards because that now leaves the credit cards with a zero balance to start all over again buying Amway products and tools. Its a vicious cycle and will only end up badly for the homeowner. You don’t put up your house for nothing especially when it comes to a cult!

There are lucky people who get out of Amway before losing too much money. Its made a small dent in their finances but they’re able to recover and move on and forget they were ever stupid enough to throw money at a cult. Many people struggle for years or perhaps the rest of their lives recovering from the Amway cult horror. Seniors can be the most vulnerable. They’ve spent all their life savings, maybe they borrowed against their house that was previously mortgage free, and racked up credit cards. Now one or both of them might be forced to go back to work in their 80’s and 90’s or they end up becoming renters after losing their house or declaring bankruptcy at this late stage in their lives. Its no different from when we occasionally see on the news that a senior has become the victim of a Nigerian scam.

Today I got an email that David Bach is offering a free download of his book Start Over Finish Rich. His financial advice might help people or give them some direction on recovering after losing everything to the Amway cult. You have to go to his webpage: http://www.finishrich.com/ and wait a few seconds for the pop up window to appear. It will ask for your name and email address to send a link to where the book can be downloaded from. No strings attached other than you’re now on his mailing list. Even though I’m on Bach’s mailing list I rarely get email from him and usually its to promote a book or some special like this. I’m not sure how long this free ebook offer is on for. Usually when he announces something like this its over at midnight. This time it says for a limited time so maybe it will be longer than today. I don’t know. So don’t wait if you want a free copy of Start Over Finish Rich!

Giving a Shout Out to the Monarch Hotel in Portland, Oregon

Some eager beaver IBO arrived several days early in Portland, Oregon for the Duncan Family Reunion which is being held this weekend, July 22 to 24 2011.

This “fired up” ambot is sitting in their hotel room looking for information about the 2011 WWDB Amway Duncan Family Reunion and of course all searches have my blog high on the hit list!

Looks like a nice enough hotel http://www.monarchhotel.cc/ Pictures show a nice looking place and description has decent amenities. It has free wifi so it doesn’t cost that ambot anything extra to look at my blog while s/he desperately tries to find information about the Duncan Family Reunion.

The reviews on Trip Advisor are mostly favorable other than a couple of unhappy guests whose partial reviews are below so this does not look a hotel you want to take a shower in.

“A poor attempt has been made to update and remodel the rooms. But they did not finish the updating. The door frames are coming off the wall, the showers either scald or freeze you. This place is still in need of work updating the rooms, definitely can stay at a better quality place for the amount that they charge here.”

“The towels were paper thin, the drains in the shower and sink were always backed up, water temperatures varied drastically in the shower, and the walkway between the two buildings always smelled like natural gas.”

That just proves that pictures are not always worth a thousand words.

I checked their prices on their website for this weekend at they start at $79 so not too bad and they still have availability.

Even though they have a swimming pool that’s not enough to entice me to stay at this hotel because I travel with a dog and this place is NOT pet friendly but maybe I’ll send a mad rush of IBO’s to their website to book this weekend.

And I won’t even charge the Monarch a commission for the referral service!

The Money Doesn’t Go To Me!

Our Platinum ordered all serious business builders to buy a Premier Membership to World Wide Dream Builders. Cost is $49.95/month.

What does an IBO get from WWDB for this awesome “business” investment?

Mostly they get a portal web page. You have your own link and this is the web address you give to any suckers to entice them to shop online at “your” store. You can also slightly customize your web page. If you’re one of these weirdos who likes XS Energy Drinks you can promote that on your portal page. I think you can also put your name and phone number. And of course that would be hooked up to Communikate. Add another $35/month for that messaging program which the Platinum will also demand you purchase.

With this monthly membership you also got a discount on buying Amway books and CDs from the recommended list. Now don’t get all excited its not a big discount. Maybe a dollar or two off. Its cheaper to buy them used off Craigslist or Ebay or even new from Amazon except you would be a very bad little IBO trying to save money instead of buying from WWDB/Amway so your upline can profit from these tools you’ve purchased. 

At a meeting we attended our Emerald was talking about buying a website. I believe he was skirting the issue of saying buying WWDB Premier membership because he did say the website cost $50/month which coincidentally is a nickel off the WWDB premier monthly membership and is the only tool that is flogged at Amway meetings that includes a web page portal.

Then the Emerald said if you buy a website the money goes to Quixtar and World Wide, not him.

He is probably partially correct and the money does not go to him. After all he is only an Emerald. If you’ve read Eric Scheibeler’s book Merchants of Deception he talks about income sharing from the profits of the Amway tool scam. The Diamonds get the bulk of the profits from the tool scam. As an Emerald he received around $900 for speaking at a seminar or function but they were few and far between. I’m a little foggy on the details since its been a couple of years since I read the book but I think he got a small discount on the tools which he was able to sell to his downline at retail cost and he got the profits.

I think it also came to light both in his book and from other Emeralds who’ve written about their experiences on the Internet that they occasionally get a piece of the pie from the tool scam but that depends on the generosity of their upline Diamond. Being the greedy bastards those Diamonds are, most do not share in the profits from the tool scam with a lowly Emerald.

Scheibeler also said in his book that he was earning just over $35k/year from Amway and that certainly was not the money he was expecting to earn at this level with about 1000 downline beneath him. I watched a video on Youtube a couple of years ago and a former Emerald said he earned about $2000 to $3000/month from his Amway income. He also came to the realization that the money just wasn’t there and there were more honest ways to make better money than that and he also quit.

Around the time that Ambot finally agreed to leave Amway and was reading Merchants of Deception - unknown to his upline of course they’d have been horrified! - the sack of shit Platinum had sent out a message that the Emerald required a fence built. He was asking who in the goup knew someone who provided those services. Ambot actually knows someone who owns a fencing company. Then Ambot laughed and said the asshole only earns an Emerald income so he can’t afford to hire someone to build a fence!

I think the Emerald managed to coerce an army of IBO slaves to come out and do the work for free for the privilege of “being around the Emerald”. To add on to his statement that the money doesn’t go to him, it doesn’t go to his downline either!

Yeah! That’s a bargain! Free labor. You get what you pay for. I’m sure that fence blew over in the first strong wind!

What is Fast Track?

Fast Track =  a bullshit WWDB/Amway program to whip the cult followers into a frenzy of making a few bucks fast.

I might get some ambots showing up to say I’ve got Fast Track all wrong and the criteria has changed but I’ll try to lay it out how our Emerald told us. I found this information courtesy of a cheat sheet that my Ambot wrote notes in about a meeting he attended that he also taped. I have the recording on our computer so I went in to see if I could make some sense of it.

Nope. Its the usual Amway fast talk double talk to excite the audience and confuse them with the facts. Or lack thereof.

Fast Track was on the agenda at the recent Puryear Family Reunion.

If they were calling it Fast Track a few years ago when we were involved in Amway then that tells you times ain’t changing much even though the upline tries to scam everyone by saying “exciting changes are just about to happen”.

So Fast Track ain’t new. It ain’t exciting. It ain’t a change. Its the same old bullshit they were teaching when we were in.

OK the Emerald talked real fast, all the better to confuse us. Seeing as how most of the cult followers in the room were already brainwashed they were able to accept what he said with their usual unconditional love and devotion.

Here is what I heard on the recording. It took me a couple of playbacks to make sure I had it right. Wouldn’t want IBOFB showing up to say I’ve got the facts wrong!

And I could have the facts wrong. Perhaps some Fast Track criteria has changed in the past couple of years.

Hang on to your hats while I try to dissect the mumbo jumbo.

The program called Fast Track has 2 phases. The first phase is referred to as 50/150. The IBO has to create volume, their own personal shopping, and get clients. (Ha ha! Yeah good luck with that!) If the IBO is at least 150 PV (and here the Emerald says $500 in Amway purchases) out of which at least $50 is from clients, the IBO gets an extra $50 bonus.

Wow! Whooppee! How exciting!

Then the Emerald drops the bomb. This Fast Track program is only available to new IBO’s in the first month of being in “the business”. Sucks for all the other IBO’s who have plugging along for months or years. Look around the room. There are no new IBO’s. Just the same cult followers I’ve seen for months.

But wait! The first phase ain’t over yet! In the second month the IBO has to keep the same suckers, err customers, and do the same thing over again for another check for $50. And do it again in the third month. Extra $50/month = $150 total for 3 months.

I’m sure everyone is sitting on the edges of their seats breathlessly waiting to hear about Phase 2 because after all the asshole Emerald said Fast Track has two phases.

OK. Wait for it. You don’t want to go home before this very important information is disclosed.

Phase 2: show 10 people the plan and sign up two of them. (Yeah right. We all know how easy it is to find 10 suckers to show the board plan presentation to let alone sign up 2 of them.) But forget two people. Go for three. Sponsor three people who can do the above 50/150 and the sponsoring IBO will earn an extra $200.

Then the asshole Emerald spends the next five minutes or so going over the numbers if you can find even more people than the three previously mentioned.

You’ll be an Amway gazillionaire by the end of the year! That’s right! Working part time ten to fifteen hours a week in your spare time! Then you’ll never have to work another day in your life! You’ll be walking the beaches of the world and the residual checks will just keep rolling on in forever! It gets even better!!! When you die you can will your Amway business to your spouse or your kids or whoever and they will have residual income for the rest of their lives too! Woo hoo!!! Riches for the descendents forever and ever!!!

Makes you wonder if the Emerald was smoking something funny before he showed up for the meeting!

How Do You Earn an Extra $200 a Month?

This topic could also be titled “More Bullshit Our Emerald Told Us”. I recently found a cheat sheet that Ambot used at an Amway meeting run by the asshole Emerald. That cheat sheet was inside one of my notebooks that I recently unearthed out of my nightstand.

On this cheat sheet Ambot wrote down a time and then jotted something about what was being said at that time. Ah ha! I put 2 and 2 together and figured out he recorded this meeting. Yup, it was downloaded on the computer. Rather than hit the delete button on those files I’m thinking they might be useful to someone one day when the shit really hits the Amway fan and some media outlet is looking for sources on the lies told to us.

So I hit the play button and forward to the time Ambot had noted. I want to make sure I’m accurate in reporting the bullshit I had to put up with. Can’t have IBOFB showing up and saying I’m making it up!

We only saw the Emerald about once a month when he gave a board plan meeting at some privileged Platinum’s house. Usually not our Platinum so we might have had to drive an hour or two to get to this very important meeting. Like shit! You hear the fucking board plan once you hear it a million times! Jesus! Nothing like pissing me off.

I had very little contact with the Emerald. He doesn’t know me from a hole in a wall. I’m not one of those ambots who crowded around him after he finished talking. I’m like let’s just get the hell out of here! He never personally interfered in our lives or personally caused me any distress. Whether that means somewhere deep down inside is an IBO who doesn’t believe in downline abuse or he just let the sack of shit Platinum do the dirty work I don’t know. He doesn’t piss me off like the Platinum. He comes across as a quiet, reasonable person - all the better to brainwash you. No hype from him. No rants.

About an hour into the meeting he asks how do you earn an extra $200 a month? Answer: 4 customers each spending $150 each month on Amway products.

A little background. A few minutes earlier he said you’ll earn 20% to 40% commission on every Amway product you sell and for every $100 in sales that’s about $35.

OK let’s go back to those 4 fictional buyers at $150/month = $600 in sales. So that would be about $200/month commission.

The IBO has to buy about $300 in Amway products to reach the minimum 100 PV to be eligible for a bonus check of about $10.

I’ll stay in even numbers because it easier for me to do the math and forget about that ten spot. IBO spends $300 to meet minimum PV requirements. Best case scenario earns $200 in commission thanks to those 4 suckers who each spent $150 on Amway shit. IBO spends $300 to earn $200. IBO has not made any money. IBO is in the hole $100.

Not bad in the greater scheme of things in Amway losses. Most IBO’s don’t have customers and only get $10 commission back on their own purchases so their loss will be much higher. Not to mention adding on the expenses of buying tools, gas to get to meetings, and admission to some Amway events.

Do you know how hard it is to find 4 customers? Let alone 4 customers who will religiously buy $150/month in Amway shit?

It would be easier for me to swim from Alcatraz to Fisherman’s Wharf!

It gets better. A few seconds later the asshole Emerald says “if you can’t find 4 customers its not because you aren’t good its because you didn’t try”.

Its the old going back to blaming the IBO for their lack of success. The upline has to come up with these lame ass excuses to justify why the IBO is not making money in a system designed for failure.

Didn’t try? How many potential customers reject buying Amway products because they’re too high priced and because they’re crap?

Its not for lack of trying. Its for lack of finding customers who don’t want to get ripped off.

So what do I have to say to all the Amway Emeralds out there?

Fuck you!

Amway is one of the Top 2 Environmental Companies in the World?

I have several notebooks lying around. Mostly I use them for ripping out papers for grocery lists or to write an address or phone number down on. As luck would have it these notebooks never happen to be handy when I actually need a piece of paper but occasionally I find one of them tucked away in a drawer.

I found one! Only to remember how much it really ticked me off when Ambot borrowed whatever handy notebook he could find so he be a good little IBO and take notes at Amway meetings. Gotta get that bullshit written down! Geez wasn’t the tape recorder good enough for recording for eternity the Amway lies? There’s a page where he took notes of a board plan our Emerald was giving and I’m ready to rip that page out of my  notebook but now that I’m fully aware of the Amway scam curiosity makes me glance at it and see what lies the cult followers were being treated to that night.

For now I’ve decided to keep the notebook intact because I can see its giving me subject matter for future posts.

The Emerald makes the declaration that Amway is one of the top 2 environmental companies in the world.

Yeah right I’m sure it is! Here’s the thing. Who would dare question upline? The ambots have been brainwashed to believe everything the cult leaders say is the truth. All other points of view are lies. Except they’re probably really the truth and the cult leaders don’t want their followers to know.

So I hit Google to find out who are the top 2 environmental companies in the world.

A company called Engineering News Record is the top hit and has a list of the top 200 environmental companies in the world. CH2M Hill Ltd is number one. Bechtel is number 2. Wait! How can that be? Our cult leader said Amway is in the top 2! Its like a conspiracy! Someone is out to prove the Emerald is a fucking liar!

Oh. That would be me. Ha ha!

This list is from 2008 and here its in alphabetical order because its easier to see Amway or Alticor or Quixtar is not on the list.

http://enr.construction.com/people/toplists/topenvdesign/topEnv_A-Z.asp

OK I’ll try the next Google link, Environmental and Energy Management News. The top 10 greenest companies in the world because maybe the asshole meant to say green instead of environmentally friendly. Amway has to be in the top 2 because if they’re not then there’s more proof that our Emerald is a fucking liar!

Number one is Vestas Wind Systems. Hmm. Ok who is number 2? Svenska Cellulosa. Interesting. Not only is Amway or Alticor not in the top 2 but this is a different top 2 from the Engineering News Record. The top 10 are here in case anyone is interested. http://www.environmentalleader.com/2007/06/04/top-10-greenest-companies-in-the-world/

This ain’t looking good for proving that lying cult leader was telling the truth for a change! Let’s try another link. Newsweek, a fairly reliable source and here are their 2010 Green Rankings.

http://www.newsweek.com/feature/2010/green-rankings.html

Number one is IBM and number 2 is Hewlett Packard. What??!!! Where is Amway in the top 2?

The list shows only the top 20 but you can search a company’s name to see if its in the top 500. I tried Alticor and Amway. Guess what? Not there!

They also have a list of the top 100 companies in the world. http://www.newsweek.com/2010/10/18/green-rankings-global-companies.html

I’ll save you some time looking. Neither Amway nor Alticor is on there.

It looks like no reporting agency can agree on the world’s top 2 environmental companies. However they can all agree that Amway or Alticor or Quixtar are nowhere on their lists.

It would appear that Amway exists as one of the top 2 world’s leading environmental companies only in Amway’s fantasy world. What do they do - gather their employees, get them drunk, conduct a survey and then hand out the fake results to the cult leaders to get this information out to the masses?

Oh why not? How many ways can they scam their cult followers?

The problem is when they come up against someone who can’t stand their upline and researches the truth and writes it down in a blog to make them look like a bunch of assholes.

And now we all know the truth.

Our asshole Emerald is a liar. Now there’s a shocker!

A "Sharp" IBO found my Blog!

We all know what its like in Amway meetings where the Platinum tries to stroke everyone's ego by calling them sharp businessmen. Never sharp businesswomen at least not in the Amway meetings I went to but what else do you expect when board plans are run by a male chauvinist pig.

Here's a good laugh.

This morning an IBO hits onto my blog after doing a Google search for "need tickets to Family Reunion, Boise, Idaho".

I mean what the hell? Has this guy been sleeping through Amway meetings for the past 3 months???? Puryear Family Reunion was last weekend.

If he'd been a regular reader of my blog for the past month he would have got all the information he needed.

This is not to say some enterprising IBO might still try to scam him and sell him tickets for last weekend's function but you got to wonder what that guy is learning at Amway meetings. This is what happens when you recruit the village idiot!

I'm still getting hits for Puryear Family Reunion but I don't know if IBO's just fucked up on their calendar and don't realize its over or if they're now looking for reviews from attendees.

This guy who is desperate for tickets for Family Reunion in Boise almost made me laugh as much as the searcher who came to my blog after Googling "why do Igbos fight by throwing eggs at each other"!

And yes just in case anyone's still wondering I still get hits for people wanting to know how to say fuck in Igbo!

Quitting Amway During Family Function

The top searches on my blog right now are:

1. Family Reunion and various ways of saying that - Puryear Family Reunion, Duncan Family Reunion, Amway Family Reunion, WWDB Family Reunion, Family Reunion Portland, etc
2. the Ganesh and Neha Shenoy split or divorce
3. how to quit Amway.

Oddly enough during the last Amway function - Spring Leadership - I got a lot of hits from people wanting to know how to quit Amway. http://marriedtoanambot.blogspot.com/2011/03/quitting-amway-during-spring-leadership.html

Here’s a blog I wrote How To Quit Amway.

And then a follow up called Having Trouble Quitting Amway?

I guess Amway functions naturally bring out the “how do I quit Amway” crowd. Or perhaps its better stated as the “I’m fed up and don’t want to take this bullshit anymore!” crowd.

I won’t repeat most of what I’ve already covered in the other blogs. This time I’m getting a lot of searchers trying to find out if they’ll get a refund when they quit Amway.

Yeah well good luck with that!

You’d think Amway’s web site would have a section where information about quitting would be readily available to IBO’s who need their questions answered. For all I know this might be somewhere on their website. It took me a long time to find the information about annual membership fees when I wrote that topic a few months ago. Suffice it to say it is very difficult to find what you’re looking for on Amway’s website. I can understand why. When you’re in the business of scamming people out of their money you don’t want people to quit. You want them to keep throwing their money at you. It makes better business sense not to have information about quitting readily available to IBO’s.

It seems logical that a phone call to Amway’s head office should be able to answer that question. Unfortunately when you get through to Amway you’re stuck talking to a department that should be called the “I-don’t-give-a-shit-department”. Their standard response: “Ask your upline Platinum.”

Fuck you Amway employees for your ever so helpful response!

So now the IBO is faced with the prospect of asking their upline and probably the Platinum. Depending on how long they’ve been involved in Amway this can be a frightening prospect. An IBO who has only been in a few weeks probably is not brainwashed and dealing with the love and punishment and basic fear of the Platinum so they might go ahead and ask the bastard. Here is where the Platinum does their best to convince them not to quit. “You can’t quit now not when success is right around the corner.” Well what else are they going to say? “You can’t quit now not when I’m not finished swindling you and making money off you.”

An IBO who has been in for longer will have more difficulty quitting. They have been brainwashed to accept everything their upline says as the truth. They have been brainwashed to believe that if they quit they will broke losers for the rest of their life. They have been brainwashed to believe that Amway’s products are the best out there and they will never be able to adapt to other brand names on the marketplace. The abuse has been so bad that the IBO fears retribution from their upline if they quit. NOBODY dares disobey the Platinum!

From what I know IBO’s do have a period of time from when they signed up to being able to quit and get a refund. I don’t know the time frame. I do know that the only downline Ambot signed up quit Amway within a month and he got a refund. Ambot saw the refund go through when he was looking at his Amway or WWDB account.

What you get refunded on is sketchy. When we signed up it cost around $150 and that was the annual Amway membership plus a starter kit of some shitty Amway products. Always on the lookout for ripping people off Amway charges around $60/year membership and they do not prorate it so if you sign up mid year you are charged the full $60 and on January 1 you better pay your $60 again or your upline Platinum will give you a shit kicking.

I am not sure what happens if someone quits shortly after signing up if Amway refunds the whole $60 membership or if they prorate it!

I am also not sure what happens to the approximately $100 worth of shitty Amway products in the starter kit if the quitting IBO sends them back for a refund, if Amway refunds and says keep the shit, or if Amway tells them to fuck off no refund and the IBO is shit out of luck.

What about tools the IBO purchased? As soon as the IBO signs up their upline will ride their asses about purchasing tools because that’s the secret to Amway success and riches. For the upline Diamond that is!

Amway’s literature says when an IBO quits their upline must buy back the tools if the IBO requests them to. No time limit on that. Its in Amway’s terms and conditions as part of their phoney bullshit act to distance themselves from the scheming groups like WWDB, BWW, etc. Our experience when we quit is that Ambot went to his sponsor Captain Fuck Up and brought some of the CDs and books back to him. He only brought the unopened ones still in their original packaging - about 20 CDs and maybe 5 books. Captain Fuck Up refused to refund stating he had no money. Um, well who’s fucking problem is that? Like we need any further proof of the Amway tool scam! Amway’s terms say you’re supposed to give a refund when an IBO quits and wants to return the tools.

Just another lie.

Ambot kept going further upline trying to unload the tools. The sack of shit Platinum offered to buy them for ten cents each.

Like fuck you!

Typically most IBO’s will have bought a shitload of useless Amway products that they don’t want or need. Just get that old PV up there so your upline can meet their goals! There is a phoney guarantee that Amway gives a refund in 180 days. Its in the catalogue and every IBO out there brags about it. Then they say Amway’s products are the best out there and such high quality that no one would ever want to return their fine products. Yeah right. Yet another lie. Contact Amway’s I-don’t-give-a-shit department and ask for a refund and you have to jump through hoops. They will come up with every excuse under the sun why they don't want to give you a refund. Its easier for most IBO’s to eat their losses. Literally because they undoubtedly stocked up on Nutrilite vitamins and food bars.

The sad reality is for most IBO’s you will not get any refund for quitting Amway.  

Get Rich Slowly

Get rich slowly or get rich quick? Either way neither will happen for the majority of IBO’s who sign up with Amway.

Our sack of shit Platinum was very careful never to say the words “get rich quick” but everything else he said implied that one would get rich quick. Our Platinum said we could make $100,000 in 6 months. Well that’s pretty decent money to most people and 6 months is a relatively quick period of time to earn that much money.

It would not have made any difference if he’d said you can get rich slowly in Amway - and I have never ever heard any Amway leader say you can get rich slowly. Kind of defeats the purpose of getting the audience all fired up with promises of riches in 2 to 5 years. Very few IBO's get rich in Amway and how rich they are is debatable. Subjective. Everyone has different benchmarks what they think is “rich”. At Amway functions we see slide shows of mansions, luxury cars, and expensive material possessions. For all we know these items are rented for the filming.

Many people would think a person earning $200,000/year is a good income. Is it achievable in Amway? Apparently so. In their literature they say that .0065% of IBO’s earn $200,000/year or more.

Get it? That’s a tiny fraction of 1% of all IBO’s. That would likely be a Diamond income and a good chunk of that would be from speaking engagements at Amway functions not from commissions and bonuses for the Amway products their downline have been purchasing.

Our Platinum was a professional liar. The one thing he couldn’t explain was after 15 years flogging Amway shit was why he wasn’t rich. Or at a higher level on the Amway pyramid. I’d say that the 15 year mark for someone to be rich qualifies for get rich slowly. That sack of shit can’t get rich quickly and he can’t get rich slowly either!

Odd because as a cult leader I’d put him on the same frightening level as Reverend Jim Jones and Charles Manson. Our Platinum has swindled many people over the years directing their hard earned money to Amway products and tools.

Asshole!

Anyway I was going through my computer looking at web pages I’d saved and cleaning up the ones that are dead links or no longer interest me and today’s topic was because I’d bookmarked a web page called Get Rich Slowly. I haven’t looked at in years - probably not since I bookmarked it! I just looked it over again and I have a feeling this blogger follows the advice of Dave Ramsey. I read one of his books a few years ago called The Total Money Makeover. He has 7 steps to achieving financial freedom. There are a lot of people out there who are huge fans of Ramsey and many of them seem to take the attitude its Dave’s way or the highway. Kind of like the attitude Amway IBO’s have about how there is no other way to financial freedom except through Amway! When I read the book I found some of Ramsey’s advice good but a little strict for me. Bottom line most financial advisors say the same thing: incur no debt, pay off any existing debt, save for retirement, invest your money, buy a house, etc, etc. They all have different paths to reach those goals.

Its kind of like your Amway upline. They all have paths to reach their goal and it usually involves abusing their downline and taking their money and destroying their lives. All in pursuit of the almighty buck.

To sum it up. Unless you are a good cult leader, a good liar, and don’t give a shit about destroying other people’s lives, you will never be part of the .0065% of IBO’s who get rich slowly or get rich quickly from Amway. You won’t get rich period in Amway. If you’re a half assed cult leader you might break even or make a small profit but that takes a lot of hours and lots of money invested.

You’d do better taking a second job, even minimum wage, for 5 hours a week. You’d make more money than the average IBO right there and don’t have to spend any money to do so and spend way less time working a part time job instead of working the Amway business. Then take that money from the second job - lets just call it $50/week to work with even numbers - and invest that money and play the stock market. A little fun money every week and if you take the advice of some good investors it could be the path to get rich slowly.

Sure beats the Amway path to the poorhouse!

Quixtar Amway tools video

To pay homage to the Amway warriors currently get sore asses at the Puryear Family Reunion here is the real reason why your upline wants you to attend all Amway WWDB functions.

Keep buying those tools! Make your upline Diamonds richer!

Amway WWDB Family Reunion and Ganesh and Neha Shenoy

So what does the Amway WWDB Family Reunion and Ganesh and Neha Shenoy have in common?

They are the top two searches for Anna Banana’s Married to an Ambot blog.

First of all I want to say that until about 6 weeks ago I’ve never even heard of Ganesh and Neha Shenoy. Those names means nothing to me. I never heard of them when we were in Amway, don’t know nothing about them, never met, and I have no idea why they have split up or getting a divorce or what their situation is.

I know nothing!

Most of the searchers are ending up at this topic http://marriedtoanambot.blogspot.com/2011/05/satirical-slideshow-showing-some-of.html where I posted a video on Youtube. One of the people who posted a comment mentioned Ganesh and Neha Shenoy are divorced and another commenter says s/he knew them but has no idea why they split up.

I have been getting tons of hits and I’m not really all that high on the Google search engine depending on what the searchers types in for their search criteria.

For “Ganesh and Neha Shenoy split” I am the number one hit on Google.

For “Ganesh and Neha Shenoy divorce” I am #36. That tells me somebody is obsessively going through all the links to find information about the Shenoys.

Though I think after I post this I will drastically climb on the search engine!

The only thing I have to say is that apparently Ganesh and Neha Shenoy were (are?) Diamonds. That tells me they stomped all over a bunch of IBO’s to get there. If they reached Diamond that tells me they are good cult leaders. They bullied their downline to buy Amway products and buy Amway tools. They likely left a path of destruction in their wake: IBO’s destroyed financially, IBO’s destroyed emotionally, divorces, bankruptcy, debt, destroyed families, destroyed relationships.....

All I can say is KARMA!

As for the tons of Family Reunion hits, that’s about par for the course whenever any Amway function is coming up. I write about it to misdirect IBO’s to my blog because they find more information from me than they do from Amway or World Wide Dream Builders because I’m higher up the search engine. Same thing happened with Free Enterprise Days, Dream Night, and Spring Leadership. I picked up many strays who were horrified to discover the truth.

I get hits on all kinds of search criteria:

Amway Family Reunion

WWDB Family Reunion

World Wide Dream Builders Family Reunion

Puryear Family Reunion

Puryear Amway Family Reunion

Duncan Family Reunion

Boise Amway Family Reunion

Portland Amway Family Reunion

Amway Portland July 23

Duncan Family Reunion website

Amway Convention Portland

I’m sure you get the picture. You name it I’ve probably seen the search criteria as a hit to my blog. I forgot to mention 2011 and July may or may not be part of the search.

There’s one searcher not getting the picture: “2011 wwdb spring conference”. Hmmm, some poor sucker not aware its summer? Time warp?

I hate to think that if we were still in Amway and WWDB we’d be two more warriors making our pilgrimage to Puryear Family Reunion 2011 in Boise. There are probably a huge army of cult followers enroute right now as I type this desperate to be in town for tonight’s trade show.

Let the brainwashing begin!
