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!

Amway IBO’s Don’t Care
10 comments:
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.
"Who cares?" is a useful mantra if you're trying to get a group of followers to turn a blind eye to very real concerns. Who cares about mounting credit card debt, stacks of unpaid bills, deteriorating relationships, bankruptcy? Maybe if they say it often enough it quells the little voice of reason in the IBO who's whispering, "I do care, because I'm fucking up my life."

Who cares? Once you have residue income rolling in forever from Amway and you're rich you don't need to care about anyone or anything anymore. That's one of the joys about being a brainwashed ambot. We'll tell you what to care about.
ReplyDeleteMost IBOs who get involved with Amway are probably decent people who were scammed into believing Amway is their path to financial freedom. Once they figured out the truth and stopped going to brainwashing sessions they turned back into caring people. Caring about others, caring about getting their life back on track, etc.
As an IBO, I do remember our upline telling us to think before we made decisions. We needed to think about how this will affect my financial future, as if nothing else matters. This is sad but spot on.
ReplyDeleteThey use to say "some will,some wont,So what"? at the amway functions. Guess it's now Sw Sw who cares.
ReplyDeleteJoecool - our upline never told us to think before we made decisions. They said they would make all our decisions for us and we had to do what they said. And then we'd be rich and have residual income coming in for the rest of our lives without ever working again.
ReplyDeleteColin, so what is kind of an off the cuff response like who cares when someone is backed into a corner facing the truth and trying to figure out their way out of that jam. Denial thing.
ReplyDeleteThis person i knew who spent over 3k in tools,seminars etc. After he quit the scam confronting his platinum & diamond was told "monkey see monkey do" with him purchasing and supporting the system. Also later on in the conversation told him that the key wasnt buying the stuff but to show the plan and spending very little. When his platinum was dying of cancer and ran into him in the street trying to talk to him. My friend just walk by and didnt say a word to him or acknoledge the platinum
ReplyDeleteI don't know Colin. That guy's attitude is more consistent with a current IBO who does not care than someone who is no longer involved in Amway.
ReplyDeleteIf I ran into our former Platinum and he was dying he probably wouldn't say anything to me because I am the traitor who left his cult and took my husband and his giving money to the upline away from him. But if he apologized to me for the hell he put me through I might stop and speak with him for a minute.
I ran into my diamond not that long ago in vegas. He was with his group of cult members ibos. I did say hi but he didnt reconize me. If i lost alot of money id probably really embarass him infront of his group. But when you're in vegas your there to have a good time.
ReplyDeleteAnna Banana, you dummy, the lady who hit the kid was more likely to be in Amway. she was thrilled to have the opportunity to meet his dad and STP him, and then you, too. plus the cop and ambulance driver.
