What to do in Denver Colorado instead of attending Free Enterprise Days 2011

Keeping up with my theme of finding better and lower priced things to do in cities holding Amway functions, I’ve tried to round up a few fun things to do in Denver Colorado where Amway WWDB will be holding Free Enterprise Days from October 21 to 23 2011. Most of the fun things seem to involve driving out of Denver and hitting the ski slopes! Hmm October may be a little early for skiing. I’ll see what else I can find.

Denver Zoo - Ah the prerequisite zoo! Don’t most of the places Amway holds functions have a zoo? Coin toss! Should I visit the baboons at the Denver Zoo or the baboons stomping across the stage at Amway WWDB FED? There’s actually a free day at the zoo on October 20 2011 the day before FED starts. Admission is a reasonable $13 or slightly cheaper if you’re over 65 years or younger than 12 years. A couple could spend a day at the zoo and go out for a really nice dinner all for less than the cost of one $125 ticket to FED. http://www.denverzoo.org/

Denver Art Museum - if you’re into looking at works of art this is the place to be. It costs the same amount of money as the zoo. Slightly cheaper if you’re a Colorado resident. Where’s that coin for the toss? Museum or zoo? Goodbye Picasso hello lions. http://www.denverartmuseum.org/

Wings Over The Rockies Air and Space Museum - I’ve visited a few aircraft museums and this is something I’d consider seeing as how I still haven’t gotten over the Spruce Goose being moved out of Long Beach! Not that its in Colorado. I think it went somewhere in Oregon. Admission is $11. Slightly cheaper if you’re over 65 or under 12. http://www.wingsmuseum.org/

Molly Brown House Museum - If you’re a Titanic trivia buff you’ll enjoy this museum where the unsinkable Molly Brown lived. Admission is $8, slightly cheaper for other age groups. But the good news is if you’re in Denver for FED on Friday and Saturday night October 21 and 22 from 6pm to 9pm the house is hosting an evening called Victorian Horrors. Lets see. We have our choice. Going to an evening of Amway horrors for $125 or going to an evening of Victorian horrors for $15. I know which one I’m choosing! http://www.mollybrown.org/

Elitch Gardens - October is Fright Fest month at the theme park. Tickets are $42.99 if you’re over 4 feet tall. Lower prices if you’re shorter or over age 62. A little pricey but still costs less than going to Free Enterprise Days. So you’ve got your choice. Fright Fest at an amusement park or fright fest listening to Amway Diamonds! http://elitchgardens.com/frightfestdenver

Want to do some shopping? Denver’s 16th Street Mall is a much better place to spend the day than stuck inside an auditorium listening to a bunch of aging Diamonds who use Amway functions to make their real money. Free shuttle buses and free Wifi anywhere up and down the pedestrian mall. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/16th_Street_Mall

Amway WWDB Free Enterprise Days 2011 Itinerary Schedule

I’ve already mentioned in previous posts that Amway World Wide Dream Builders is holding Free Enterprise Days in Denver Colorado October 21 to 23 2011 and in Portland Oregon November 4 to 6 2011.

Seeing as how WWDB hasn’t yet changed their log on and password information (guest and dream) we can all take a peak at Amway functions.

They’re being secretive (big surprise!) about pricing and hotels making this information only available to ambots who are paying $50/month for Premier Membership. So to get my facts right here I have to look back to my profit and loss sheet. Or more aptly titled - loss sheet!

Tickets cost $125 each. Yeah that was the cheap part. Travel, food, and hotel cost $850.

I’m going to paraphrase so I don’t get accused of copyright infringement. FED is touted as celebrating opportunity and freedom in countries built on the free enterprise system. Hunh? Anyone know what the fuck that’s supposed to mean? Seems kind of discriminatory if you come from a country not built on it! And how do you know one way or the other what your country was built on unless you’re the oldest living person in the US at 500+ years old! Then the usual bullshit about building your own business, staying motivated, and seeing your dreams come true.

Yup. Selling the dream. Selling the hope instead of the soap.

So what happens at FED? On Friday night a big rah rah ceremony celebrating the armed forces. I’m all for supporting our military forces but it comes off totally phony at an Amway function. Nothing wrong with celebrating our patriotism except when its done with a company thats a pyramid scheme. Some “patriotic” dude named Rick Green - does anyone know who the hell he is anyway? - will teach about free enterprise. I guess he’s getting well paid because he’s doing it in both cities. Afterwards Diamond speakers will talk about building “the business”. Well that’ll be a first. They never talked about that at the FEDs I went to! They all jabbered about being poor and then they saw the Amway business plan and set their goals on a mission to destroy people and rip them off and now they live in mansions and walk the beaches of the world while residual income rolls in for the rest of their lives. I don’t recall what time the Friday night bullshit session got under way. Eight? That’s the typical witching hour for ambots. Goes on until about midnight. Then expect your upline to order you to attend at least one night owl. You can either be an obedient little IBO and go to the night owl and crawl back to your hotel room around 4am to catch some sleep or do what I do and say fuck you I’m tired and going to bed. I’ve already spent enough time with you lousy bastards anyway.

On Saturday there’s more of the same except the patriotism. Diamond speakers will share about building a Scamway business. And then as if anyone actually gives a flying fuck a bunch of double eagle rubies will keep the ambots motivated to get to where they are. Where the hell do they come up with these phony ass titles that brainwashed ambots ooh and ahh over? Again I don’t recall what time the bullshit session gets under way. Around 9am? When we arrived huge line ups of brainwashed ambots had been waiting in front of the arena doors for hours like they think they’re going to see Mick Jagger maybe? There is no lunch break. Ambots are expected to bring their own snacks such as XS piss water and shitty Amway food bars so that way they don’t need to leave the auditorium to get food. Yeah to hell with what you cult leaders say. If I’m hungry I’m going out to forage for real food. The session breaks down late in the afternoon around 4 or 5 and breaks until 8pm. Then the Amway warriors are expected to return to the battle zone and listen to more bullshit until midnight or whenever those cult leaders decide to shut the fuck up. Then the upline wants you to go to another night owl. Yeah fuck you I’m going back to the hotel and going to sleep.

So in case anyone is wondering if I can tell them what goes on at an Amway night owl meeting after the function has ended for the night - I can not tell you. Oh I can imagine it all right. Just more bullshit from the sack of shit Platinum like I don’t get enough of that several times a week back home! I’ve never gone to a night owl. Ambot not so lucky. He went once or twice when we attended Amway functions.

Oddly enough on WWDB’s website for Sunday there is no mention of the morning church service all the better for brainwashing IBO’s. Starts at 9 or 10? Lasts until noon? Probably one of the Diamond cult leaders running the religious brainwashing session. Then a break until 1. Sunday is a wrap up that will teach the ambots how to meet their Amway goals. Hmm, gee my goal is to invest in the tool scam and buy more Amway products and go into $10,000 in debt to show my dedication and devotion to my Amway cult leaders.

Things wrap up around 5pm and then everyone sprints for their cars and becomes part of a huge traffic jam heading out of town.

This weekend sounds like a real fucking snoozer to me. Take that thousand bucks and buy mutual funds or go on a mini vacation to somewhere fun (no offense Denver and Portland!) instead of making the greedy upline bastards richer.

Dead or Broke by Age 65?

Our sack of shit Platinum says 95% of the population will be dead or broke by age 65. And the other 5%? They had their own businesses.

I mean what the fuck????!!!!

Where does this lying son of a bitch get his information from? Seeing as how I’ve seen other bloggers bring up similar figures I’m guessing our sack of shit Platinum didn’t make up this whopper all on his own. He was likely duplicating something an Emerald or Diamond said.

As for questioning him about where he got these statistics? Never question upline! Though he admitted he thought it was on the census. Yeah right I remember seeing those questions on the census form: “If you’re under the age of 65 are you dead?” and “Are you broke?” Like I need any further proof our Platinum is a fucking moron.

As for people dying before age 65, sadly people die for all kinds of reasons, no point in going into morbid details. I can not find anywhere on the Internet what percentage of people died before they turned 65. If I can’t find it how can those lying IBO’s find it? They can’t! That’s why they’re liars!

In this day and age people are living a lot longer. We have great advances in medical and science and generally speaking people live healthier lifestyles watching what they eat, exercising, and not smoking. People with healthy lifestyles are easily living into their 80’s and 90’s. And most of the people I know in those age groups are fairly well off or at least of comfortable means. They own their own homes, collect social security, and have savings and investments that they live off.

How does the sack of shit Platinum know how many people are broke by age 65 - the actual percentage. I’ve never recalled filling out any kind of government survey that asks the question “are you broke”. I’m not sure many people would admit to it on a survey anyway!

I can find no substantiated documentation that 95% of the population is dead or broke by age 65, therefore I come to the logical conclusion that our sack of shit Platinum is a fucking liar. If he chose to repeat lies that originated further upline then he’s still a fucking fool for repeating them without substantiating their validity.

Does anyone have any doubt that I can’t stand our Platinum! Ha ha!

There are lots of people who plan badly for their future. That doesn’t mean they’ll be broke or dead by age 65. There are lots of people who aren’t business owners. That doesn’t mean they’ll be broke or dead by age 65.

Other things may happen too. A spouse might die, loss of a job could lead to other financial woes such as unable to pay the mortgage, or illness or injury could make earning a living nearly impossible.

The above paragraph defines people that IBO’s typically prey upon to recruit into Amway. People who are already in a sad state of affairs and in a poor financial position and who can least afford to lose money are sucked into the Amway scheme by nasty ambots who fill their heads with dreams of financial freedom.

Now let’s move on to the lie about the 5% of the population who are not dead or broke by age 65 simply by the virtue of owning their own business.

Owning your own business puts an invisible shield around you that guards you from being killed in an accident or dying from a disease by age 65?

Apparently that’s what brainwashed ambots believe. Or at least what our lying sack of shit Platinum wants to brainwash them into believing.

Brainwashed ambots are also led to believe that because someone owns a business they will be successful and never be broke.

Another lie taught by the lying upline. Business fail for all kinds of reasons sometimes at great personal financial loss to the business owner that they might not ever be able to recover from. Including phony Amway businesses!

The upline brainwashes ambots into believing they are real business owners because they slapped down $150 for an Amway registration fee and $300/month for Amway products for personal consumption, and a few hundred more a month on Amway tools and functions. The upline teaches that this means they are part of the imaginary 5% of business owners who will live past 65 and will never be broke.

OK. Before signing up to this fantasy tell the upline liar to provide proof of those statistics. Would be interesting to see what they come up with. Pretty hard to back peddle out of that lie!

Amway Creates Hate and Rage

There is something about Amway that creates hate and rage. To those of us who used to be in “the business” and have done some research and read other stories we can understand why the rage. Amway with the assistance of their cult leaders causes financial distress, debt, bankruptcy, divorces, destroys relationships, and screws people up emotionally.

A recent searcher found their way to my blog typing in: “I’ll just have to kill everyone at Amway”.

My first thought is this person has just got off the phone with one of those useless unhelpful bastards that work in Amway’s (lack of) customer service department.

I’ve dealt with those miserable assholes with the I-don’t-give-a-flying-fuck attitude. It is a lesson in frustration and futility that’s for sure!

I do not like Amway. I do not like people who are involved in Amway. I don’t like the lazy ass bastards who answer the customer service phone at Amway. That doesn’t mean I personally wish anyone connected to Amway ill harm or death but then I like to think I’m a rational, law abiding person. I’m one of many thousands who swallowed the losses, chalked it up as a bad learning opportunity, a horrible business, and walked away.

I can see how there would be a small percentage of people that Amway has driven over the edge of despair. The phrase going postal comes to mind. If someone is having difficulty with an Amway product or their Amway upline and phones in to head office for assistance and are met with “there’s nothing we can do for you” or “Amway is not responsible for what is said at Amway meetings” or “Amway is not responsible for the IBO’s we hire”. You call in to head office for assistance and nobody gives a shit. You’ve lost a lot of money in the Amway scam and all you get from customer service is “ha ha we fucked you over!”

Someone voicing thoughts to kill everyone at Amway shows emotional imbalance. Maybe quite rightly so after what Amway has put them through. But killing everyone at Amway? Unfortunately this is not the first searcher who has put in similar criteria.

People who work at Amway are no different than people who work for other companies. The most common reason people accept jobs and stay with them is because its a paycheck. Most employees have no particular loyalty to their employer. If a better job comes along they are out of there. Sure some of us who were involved in Amway think that only a low life scum sucking son of a bitch would actually work for a company that causes so much misery around the world but when people have bills to pay and need a job who are we to judge why they work for a scumbag employer. I wrote another post where I said Amway employees are no different than other corporations. Most companies only 20% of the employees actually like working there and excel at their position. 80% of employees its just a paycheck and they are only putting in time while waiting for something better to come along. This is obvious to those of us who have had the misfortune to phone in to Amway’s head office for assistance and have dealt with employees at the customer service desk who don’t give a shit and who aren’t helpful. I see this a lot in Google searches with people showing up at my blog who are frustrated after trying to get assistance from Amway’s help desk which should be more aptly titled the unhelpful desk or the I-don’t-give-a-shit desk. Either title the customer phoning in rarely gets good service. What else do you expect? Chances are very good the person answering the phone at Amway is one of the 80% of employees who doesn’t give a shit about their job.

I’ve had the experience of working for a company many years ago with a weirdo employee - fortunately in another department! - who would fly into rages. I always said if he ever lost his job that I wouldn’t want to keep working for that company because he’s the only person I’ve ever known that I thought might show up with a gun and start shooting. When he got laid off I moved on myself about 3 months later. Even though I’d never had any run ins with him and shook his hand and wished him well on his last day, I had my doubts about his emotional stability and I’m sure not going to work for any company where I have any cause of concern about my personal safety.

In case anyone’s wondering a few months after I left the building was sold and the company merged with another company and relocated about 20 miles away. Probably too confusing for him to try to track anyone down.

Likewise I would never work for a controversial company that inspires rage in people and has received death threats. You just never know when that gun wielding crazy person is going to storm through the door.

Amway is getting search engine hits from people wishing death to the employees. I would never work for a company where people have voiced death wishes towards employees. Maybe some of those Amway employees that are surfing the Internet and reading my blog when they’re probably supposed to be actually getting some work done will think twice about their choice of employer and death threats. No job is worth dying for.

I'm Still FED (UP)!

I have countless WWDB IBO's searching for Amway FED (Free Enterprise Days) that are being held in 2011 in Denver Colorado October 21 to 23 2011 and Portland Oregon in November 4 to 6 2011.

Seeing as how I don't have anything else to add from my posts last year I'm recycling another one for any new readers that might have missed this post.

And of course I love the keywords. For whatever reason - top secret! - Amway and World Wide Dreambuilders makes it extremely difficult for IBOs to find the information they're seeking about Amway functions. They search on the Internet and find the information they need on blogs like mine. Nothing like finding out what you're getting yourself into. Another brainwashing session!

What actually happens at Free Enterprise Days?

You know, most of its a blur. The only thing I remember for sure was being bored to death. It seems to me the exact same thing goes on at FED as what happens at Family Reunion. On Friday night its a bunch of rah, rah, rah. A lot of patriotism, loud music, and speeches about what a great weekend its going to be. If it wasn’t part of Amway, that Friday night special would have almost been kind of fun.

Saturday everyone arrives at the auditorium - early of course. Remember if you’re a “serious business builder” you have to be there at least an hour early. There were huge line ups - the venue had several doors - and its my guess some of these cult followers had been lining up for hours. Gee the building looked pretty big to me. Scared you weren’t going to find a seat?

FED was mostly Diamonds and I think a few Emeralds who told their stories in such a manner as to motivate IBO’s to stay with “the business”. They’d all been down on their luck, found Amway, and built “the business”. Now their life is fantastic. Mansions, luxury cars, exotic vacations, blah, blah, blah. One by one they trooped across the stage and said the same thing. Nothing useful to anyone who is actually trying to build an Amway business. Or maybe the helpful stuff happened when I was out of the building. I get hungry and thirsty and would head out and scout the nearby eating places.

And darned if I didn’t find a restaurant I liked a few blocks away. It had a sign out front saying it was serving up caramel apple milkshakes I guess due to proximity to Halloween. That milkshake was the only thing I liked about FED. I bought a snack for Ambot too and brought it back to the auditorium where he was dutifully taking notes even though the speakers were all saying the same thing as the last ones. Boring, boring, boring.

Sunday morning there is an all denomination church service - all the better for brainwashing the followers. Fortunately Ambot was tired from the previous evening’s night owl so we slept in. Sunday afternoon drones on with the Diamonds boring the audience. They say the exact same things - basically how wonderful their lives are now after all the troubles they endured in the past. Amway brought them riches, saved their marriages, and turned them all into Ken and Barbie dolls. Boring as hell. I finally leave and go out to the car and read a book.

So in answer to the question about what happens at Free Enterprise Days, to sum it up - a bunch of IBO’s get ripped off by spending money listening to boring speakers. It won’t help your business but will lighten your wallet.

And increase the bank accounts of those boring speakers who marched across the stage all blending together as one entity. How do you tell any of them apart anyway?

Find Ways to Make Extra Cash

One way that slimy Amway IBO’s latch on to people is by asking them if they’d like to earn an extra $200 a month or an extra $1000 a month or fill in the blank with whatever amount you want extra a month working part time 10 to 15 hours a week.

Sure most people could use a few extra hundred dollars a month. That might mean a car payment, a mortgage payment, a new wardrobe, indulging a much loved hobby, getting debt paid off.... The possibilities are endless. I’d wager a guess that most people would probably not answer that they’re not interested in making extra income each month.

The real issue is that most people want to do it legitimately. They want to get paid for their efforts. They don’t want to be the one paying somebody else in order to take part in their scam.

Most people are wary enough to realize that when some scumbucket comes up to them and asks them if they want to earn extra money each month it probably has something to do with MLM, network marketing, Amway, or Monavie or some kind of commissioned sales.

I read a half assed article on Yahoo Finance recently that listed some ways to make extra money, mostly going at it on your own type of things. None of these will make someone a full time income but they are some ideas to make a little extra money each month and anything is better than Amway. None of these ways will force the entrepreneur into coming up with “up front” money to register nor force the entrepreneur into continuously putting money into the system in order to succeed. I’ve listed them below with a couple of my own comments but you can read the article at Yahoo. Why do I think its a half assed article? The suggestions are mainly good but at least two of them a person can run into scams. The article did not provide legitimate resources to find further information.

http://financiallyfit.yahoo.com/finance/article-113433-10890-4-true-stories-finding-ways-to-make-extra-cash?ywaad=ad0035&nc

1. Mystery Shopper - as the article says, watch out for scams but doesn’t tell you how to watch out for them! The biggest clue is if the mystery shopping company wants you to pay a registration fee. Its kind of like the Amway scam. Never pay a fee.
2. Sell art on Ebay and Craigslist - that could also apply to just about any other kind of item. We’ve sold stuff on both mostly downsizing type of things but also some rare items (to other people maybe!) that we’ve made a few hundred on. Best month was around $2700 on Ebay sales. I bought Ebay for Dummies a few years ago when Amazon had it on for half price but it wasn’t something I really followed up on.
3. Donate plasma - here I think the correct term should be “sell” plasma!
4. Play music at bars and functions - well not everyone is musically gifted. Trust me on this one - no one wants to hear me sing!
5. Type foreclosure data - I tried a Google search to see if I could find more information or how readily available these jobs are but no luck. Mostly web pages with links pointing to various employment databases that may or may not be legitimate. However I do know a woman who works at home doing legitimate data entry for a local business and earns $10 an hour but its got nothing to do with foreclosures so I know data entry type work is out there.
6. Sell old clothes - easier said than done if you’re talking Ebay or Craigslist. A consignment store might be another story but some stores take your clothes on a credit system instead of paying cash and you get credit to buy clothes in their shop.
7. Teach night classes - just like the musicians this type of work may require some kind of education and special skills. Not everyone has what it takes.

So my overall take on this article is I barely give it a passing grade. It gives some ideas but does not expand on them or tell readers where they can find this type of legitimate work.

You’re better off going to a library and picking up a book that is devoted to starting a low cost home based business.

You are better off doing anything than Amway!

Time Frame For Ending the Vicious Amway Cycle?

I’d say my husband is average when it comes to figuring out how long many IBO’s stick it out with Amway. Most ambots will quit Amway somewhere between 6 months and a year. That can be an eternity to a wife as she’s subjected to the abuse from upline, their attempts to destroy the relationship, and the money going down the drain while the upline badgers her husband to buy more products, attend all Amway meetings and functions, and invest heavily into the Amway tool scam. Depends on how much money they had in their savings account or how much room is available on his credit card, the losses could be small in the hundreds of dollars or more substantial in the thousands.

The time frame could vary too. I’m going to go out on a limb and suggest that there are a small number of Amway cult leaders who don’t badly abuse their downline and chastise them and insult them and try to destroy their relationships. These slightly kinder cult leaders may have the power to keep their ambots toeing the line for a longer period of time in order to suck more money out of them.

Amway is a vicious cycle. It starts off with some asshole sponsoring your husband into Amway. Then he must go to two or three Amway meetings each week generally held in someone’s living room or basement but might occasionally be held in a hotel meeting room. There usually is no charge for the meetings held at someone’s house but there will be a fee if the Amway meetings is at a hotel. At least a couple of times a month a Diamond in need of a few thousand in cash will show up to speak to the masses. Again could be a hotel meeting room or maybe a school auditorium or similar venue. These cost $10 to attend. About once a month there will be a rally where new pins get to “walk across the stage” which also costs $10 or so to attend and is held in an auditorium with a stage. There has to be a stage otherwise those brainwashed ambots would be unable to brag about “crossing the stage”. Also about once a month is some useless product seminar probably held in a hotel meeting room where an Amway product is showcased. Probably costs $25 to $50 to attend. So in an average month there will be 10 to 20 Amway related meetings the ambot must attend.

If the ambot stops attending he will be chastised by the Platinum cult leader who will be relentless in phone calls and text messages bullying the IBO until he buckles down and starts attending again.

That’s why I call Amway a vicious cycle. Once the wife has hope - and remember Amway is all about selling the hope! - that her husband is getting ready to quit because he’s stopped attending all these damned Amway meetings, some upline asshole badgers him and reminds him of his duties to the cult until he breaks down and goes back and buys more Amway products.

Eventually the ambot will find the strength to stop and this will be difficult because of all the love bombing the ambot actually might like some of these Amway assholes. Quitting Amway means quitting all these new friends because no one is allowed contact with former ambots. Quitting these new friends may be hard for the brainwashed ambot because he’s been cut off from his former friends for months now and he’s spent maybe 20 hours or more each week with these new friends attending cult meetings. His priorities are screwed up over who the real friends are. I’ve said it before - if friends are only interested in you for your money then they’re not real friends at all.

Amway is a vicious cycle. Always on the lookout for its next victim. And not discriminatory. Amway will recycle former victims of its cult. I know. Watched Ambot been there done that.

Financial roller coaster. Emotional roller coaster. All I wanted is for this terror park ride to end.

End the Amway cycle.

It will never really end until Amway is shut down and closes its doors forever.

Not everyone learns their lesson the first time around.

Amway is a vicious cycle.

Amway is a Vicious Cycle

Its kind of troubling the pattern of search hits I’ve been getting recently:

“Should I kick my Amway ambot out of the house?”

“What happens when husbands and wives don’t agree on Amway?”

“How do you get someone to leave Amway?”

“Boyfriend wants me to travel to Amway meetings with him”

“Amway destroyed my marriage”

“How to deprogram an Amway ambot”

“How to be deprogrammed from Amway”

“How to quit Amway”

These ones are especially sad because the searcher - and here I’ll go out on a limb and say probably a woman - has reached the end of their rope in putting up with the Amway bullshit and being abused by the upline and is searching on the Internet for how to deal with their relationship crumbling due to the interfering upline. Its a horrible position to be in to watch your husband throwing all your money at the great Amway cult, helpless to stop it because some upline cult leader has bullied him into buying more shitty Amway products that they can’t afford. How did some fucking Amway asshole get his clutches in to your husband to have this kind of control over him.

Cult!!!!

The “how to quit Amway” variation I get several of each day but a real spike in the last week or so.

This is about the midway point between major functions. Family Reunion was in July and Free Enterprise Days are coming in late October to Denver Colorado and early November to Portland Oregon. Ambots are dragged off to a major function with all the rah rah and motivational speeches from the Ken and Barbies stomping across the stage. The ambot comes home from these motivational rallies and is all fired up and figuring out how they’re going to make their business explode. Sadly the only thing exploding is their dwindling bank account and skyrocketing credit card debt. After a few days or weeks of failing to convince any recruits to come to Amway meetings or finding new customers to buy Amway products the enthusiasm dwindles and the ambot starts to lose interest. They’re not making money and after all the whole point of owning your own business is to make money. Their cult leaders might notice the ambot not coming to meetings or slacking off on their Amway purchases and convince them not to quit now, not when success is right around the corner. Some ambots hang on for a few more weeks and get to the next major function, get all motivated again, and the sick cycle repeats itself.

Meanwhile the wife - and yes for this topic I’m going to call the above searches as done by the woman because I can give that point of view - is feeling hopeful that the end is in sight because the husband is losing interest.

Seeing as how I’d already been down the Amway path to hell I noticed things about Ambot that showed he was finally realizing he’d been lied to about getting rich in Amway. He stopped subscribing to Communikate and the World Wide Dream Builders premier membership. He stopped buying CDs and books. He stopped attending meetings.

Now granted getting to this stage took him a few months longer than the last foray into Amway hell. I was about at the end of my rope and I could have written any of those above Google searches about marriage being destroyed by Amway, how to deprogram an ambot from the Amway cult, and ready to kick the ambot out of the house.

What I didn’t know at the time was that my Ambot had had enough of being bullied by the sack of shit Platinum and being ordered to leave me and listening to these sickos that were praying I’d find another man and leave him. So there were other conflicts going on as Ambot realized the sheer evil of the Amway upline and how they were hell bent on destroying our relationship all in the name of trying to get their hands on our money.

So Ambot was letting go of those bastards. Setback came when someone upline phoned and told him he had to buy 100 or so PV of Amway products so someone further upline could reach their goals for the month. Damn it anyway he put another $500 on his credit card buying useless shitty Amway products that we’ll never use. Then the same fucker phones back and badgers him about attending the next major function.

“Too bad,” Ambot tells the upline bastard. “I spent all my money buying those Amway products so those assholes could meet their goals this month. No money left for Amway functions.”

And that was the last time Ambot ever bought anything from Amway. Yay!

Though it wasn’t the last time the upline bastards phoned or texted him but it came less often. Seeing as how he missed a major function he was on the shit list and the punishment is to be ostracized by the sack of shit Platinum until he returns to the fold begging for forgiveness.

Didn’t happen.

So I will send out another big fuck you to our Platinum. You lost your grip asshole! And it was about time!

Blogger issues....

Nope Blogger isn't having any more maintenance issues that I'm aware of, this is more like Anna Banana's Married to an Ambot blogger comments.

Just to get the word out to anyone who leaves comments, when I first started this blog I put the comments on moderation because I'd read enough blogs written by former IBO's and controversial people leaving comments that I decided it would be in my best interest to be able to control comments.

That said, I publish all comments unless they're what could be construed as hate mongering towards any race. That's not the way I was brought up so I'm not going to tolerate it here.

Obviously publishing hateful comments about your upline or Amway is absolutely allowed here! That's what my blog is all about!

Blogger does not have the capacity to edit comments. My choices are to publish the comment or delete the comment.

If you write me a comment that you don't want published for all to see here, just let me know and I'll delete it after I read it. Unless of course you're being a jerk then I'll publish it anyway so everyone can read it! I used to have my email address on my profile but I removed it earlier this year so the only way to reach me privately is to leave me a comment and tell me to delete it instead of publishing it.

If you write a comment and I publish it and you change your mind later about what you said, if you used a Blogger profile you can delete the comment. I have no way of bringing it back, can't recover deleted comments. If you used an anonymous setting you can leave me a comment and ask me to delete it. I have no problem doing that the next time I log in - which could be a few hours....

So if you think this post is directed at you - I had to delete your comment because I can not edit it. Hope you understand. No hard feelings!

Unsupportive Wives = Lack of Amway Success?

Our sack of shit Platinum says the girl you date is going to affect whether you grow in the company.

Just another chauvinistic comment from the Platinum. And what proof does he have that I’m cheating on my husband and dating a girl! Asshole!

The point of him saying that is because he’s too chickenshit to say “wife” in an Amway meeting where wives are present so he focuses on the younger single men in the audience that he assumes may be dating girls. Self righteous son of a bitch would be horrified to hear these guys are in same sex relationships and those he would really be trying hard to bust up because I heard him say enough homophobic comments in the meetings he ran. 

Whatever. His ultimate goal is breaking up the relationship.

I get enough ambots showing up here leaving comments that I’m an unsupportive wife. Like I’ve never heard that one before. Our sack of shit Platinum said those same words occasionally in my presence and 100% of the time to my husband when I was not present. He uses his position of authority as a cult leader to destroy relationships because his job is to separate the IBO from anyone who might have the power to cut off his income supply.

So to any brainwashed ambot who accuses me of not supporting my husband I will agree with that statement only when it refers to Scamway. I did not support my husband in an Amway business because I don’t support him scamming other people out of their hard earned money. I don’t support him spending 30 or 40 hours a week wasting his time chasing an elusive dream. I don’t support him throwing away his hard earned money and going into credit card debt so he can make his upline’s dreams come true.

There are many things that I support him on and anyone who’s been in a long term committed relationship will understand. Its called living life’s journey together.

We don’t need a dangerous Amway cult leader interfering in our lives poisoning my husband’s mind.

I get some brainwashed ambots asking who am I to judge people involved in Amway. I mean, what the fuck? Pot calling the kettle black? Seeing as how I was the one who witnessed the upline abuse, watched my husband max out his credit, watched shitty overpriced Amway products coming into our house and watched his personality change from a nice sensitive human being into an ugly snarling, sneering Ambot I have all the ammunition I need to judge!

Some brainwashed ambots want to know what am I doing to make my life better? For starters I got my husband out of Amway! The profits from our real business that we don’t invest back into the business go into our house, our hobbies, our vacations, etc. Can you ambots say the same thing? Our Platinum told us that he would tell us how we would invest any meager profit we made in Amway. Invest it back into Amway. Buy more Amway products and invest heavily in the tool scam.

Isn’t it interesting that all these ambots want answers but don’t say what they’re doing to make their lives better. And no being a fucking arrogant Amway scamming business owner doesn’t count. Ambots never say how much money they’re making in their Amway business or provide links to their tax returns. They throw in a bomb and run because they’re too chickenshit to come back and read the responses.

Sometimes I get told to mind my own business. Nope. My work is not done yet. There are a lot of people out there who need to know the horrors of what its like being married to an ambot.

Happiness is Bashing a Brainwashed Ambot!

This ambot from Spokane Washington left a comment on my Grand Opening Bust post.

I get at least at least one searcher a day coming from Google asking about Amway Grand Opening, how to do an invite, etc. At least they’re all coming to my blog and learning that they shouldn’t waste their time.

This brainwashed ambot found his way to my Grand Opening post by searching for “Terry Brown WWDB”. I have no idea who that is but someone in the comments referenced that name which is why it shows on the search engines.

Now to the main event! Trashing a canned Amspeak response!

You know what's funny?? Idiots, who don't learn from their mistakes, are doomed to make the same stupid mistakes again.

Also did you know that one of the main reasons that men in the world fail is because they have unsupportive wives? Food for thought.

Oh, and the only reason that first downline quit is because they had a low self image, like most failures in the business.

His 'mutual friend' told him it was a scam and he valued that opinion more than his future and family. He allowed someone elses stupid opinion, that wasn't credible for squat, to shoot down his dream.

Which means YOU failed to do your part and invest in that person. And I don't mean financially invest. I mean take some of your precious time to mentor and show him how everything REALLY works.

But in order to teach how it all works, you must know how it all works. You need to study, a lot. Just like a test. You can't see the answers once or twice and expect to ace it. It takes determination, which we as Americans are cursed at having very little of.

Not to mention, nobody ever tells you to lie. So that was one of MANY mistakes made on your end.

If you really paid any attention you could've taken that $150 BBQ 'expense' and bought everything through one of Amway's hundreds of partner stores.

I don't know, let's say K-Mart for example. They have hamburgers, buns, condiments, salad, cake, ice cream, etc. And guess what? You would've gotten paid to do it!

You are right about one thing though. You could've held a million grand openings and the turnout would've been the same. You know why? Because you didn't make the selfish sacrifice necessary to make it happen.

You don't try and lure people in with free food and then pounce on them. That's just lazy. You're trying to get people to come to you.

Well it takes effort from you to find those who are determined. Effort that you obviously didn't exert.

But you can choose to ignore the truth and be angry. Or you can learn from your ignorance, mature and better your future.

I'm 20 years old, and I'll be retired by the time I'm 21. With nothing but free time and hard earned money to spend with my family and friends. And devoting maybe 20 hours a week, if I so choose, to building a future. A legacy that'll be passed on to financially support my grankids' grandkids.

But if that sounds like a scam to you, too bad. Because it sounds like freedom to me. It sounds like what the American dream was intended to be.

Getting paid to wipe my rear, clean my kitchen, do my laundry, be healthy, look good, be good and show those who are willing how to do the exact same. ':)

Peace.

OK FreedomFighter are you ready for your punishment?

First off here’s the idiot rule: If you identify 10 unrelated persons as idiots within any one month period chances are you have overestimated the number of idiots by 9 and the guilty party is not one of the 10.

So WWDB is still doing the male chauvinist pig teachings that the only reason men fail in Amway is because of their unsupportive wives. Yawn. Like I’ve never heard that one before! You forgot to add that I’m a negative unchristian dream stealer loser.

If you had read some of my other posts you would know that the reason our one and only downline quit a couple of weeks after signing up with Amway was because our sack of shit Platinum’s henchman phoned him to bitch him out because he didn’t come to an Amway meeting. Adults don’t want some kid 20 30 years younger phoning to chastise them. He said fuck this I’m outta here and quit. You’re being a pompous self righteous son of a bitch and accusing us of not investing time in him and mentoring him and someone else shooting down his dream when the real reason he quit was because of the fucking upline henchman’s bitchfest. Not that I would expect some brainwashed ambot to accept the truth that Amway upline are a bunch of interfering troublemaking assholes.

There’s no Kmart in my area. Closest one is about 200 miles away. You want me to drive that far to get some burgers and ice cream when Costco is 5 miles away? How is that saving me money? That’s maybe $100 in gas to get to and from Kmart and a 10 hour or so round trip.

My husband spent countless hours studying everything Amway. As long as you’re a brainwashed ambot you’ll never understand that it doesn’t matter how many hours you invest in Amway, less than 1% will make any money at it. Look at your WWDB Amway literature. Its right there in the small print that your upline wants you to ignore.

Nobody teaches us to lie? The first thing we’re taught when prospecting if someone asks if this is Amway that we’re to deny it! Ha ha! Nice try! The only successful ambots are the good liars.

Yeah you’re a know it all 20 year old and someone has filled your head with dreams of being retired at 21 and you’ll have residual income rolling in for the rest of your life and your Amway business is willable to your children and grandchildren. Amway’s head office is supposedly trying to get the word out there that cult leaders are not to be teaching that because its a lie. Amway supporters deny that this bullshit residual income is still being taught today. Thanks for dropping by to confirm that these lies are still being taught!

So how much do you get paid to wipe your ass? Sounds like easy money if one can find a job with that qualification!

FreedomFighter? I have to wonder why Amway ambots are encouraged to use terms like warrior and fighter. Terms that can be used when describing war and violence. And then signing off “peace”.

You are one fucked up brainwashed little ambot.

101 Reasons to Hate Amway

I had a visitor show up at my blog using the search criteria “reasons to hate Amway”. Nothing really extraordinary about that. I get many searchers who end up here with variations of the “I hate Amway” theme.

No Sale on Amway Mansion Yet

Well there doesn't seem to be any movement on the mansion the Puryears built from their income scamming poor little ambots into buying overpriced Amway shit and useless books and CDs.

http://www.21waterfront.com/property,520,waterfront

The original price was $20 million. Then they dropped it down I think 2 million and then dropped the price again and its been sitting priced at just under $15,995,000 for awhile now just waiting for my former sack of shit Platinum to save up the cash from scamming his downline so he can buy it. Might be on the market awhile waiting for that to happen!

Location location people. You first need to find a qualified buyer and then find one who's interested on living on a mosquito infested river in Idaho.

How come the Puryears haven't approached this little British heiress who bought Aaron Spelling's mansion for $150 million. Now there's someone with a few extra bucks to spend.

http://realestate.yahoo.com/promo/uk-heiress-buys-americas-most-expensive-mansion.html

Of course there's a huge difference between living in the glamor of Beverly Hills against the Spokane River. Let's see Beverly Hills has movie stars, mansions, nightlife, and warm climates year round. Spokane River has potatoes, mosquitoes, and probably very cold winters.

I looked around to see what is selling for the same price, $15,995,000 and I found a place in Paradise Valley, Arizona.

http://realestate.yahoo.com/Arizona/Paradise_Valley/5636-e-mockingbird-ln:7dbac43cd21d86678ab75980abf630a7

Now we're talking. Arizona is a bit more centrally located and easier access to Las Vegas and Los Angeles. Decent winter weather and hotter than hell in the summer.

Besides I chose this house for another reason. If you scroll through the pictures and look for the theater room there is a box office and a creepy guy inside it. I like to think that it was the last Amway salesman who knocked on the door trying to sell them soap and the homeowner killed him and stuffed his body and mounted it in the ticket booth.

Its like they're always saying at Amway meetings: dream......

Is Amway Really One of the Top Internet Retailers?

I was reading an article about Amazon being the top retailer of Internet sales coming in around $30 billion last year. The article also said Amazon had 3 times as much in Internet sales as its next competitor.

Seeing as how I get ambots showing up at my blog to call me a negative unchristian dream stealer quitting loser and bragging about how awesome Amway is and had $10 billion in sales last year I thought it might be possible Amway was in the number 2 spot.

Ha! I should know by now to discount everything an ambot says as a lie!

That article meant its time for a Google search for the top Internet retailers and I found the top 500 here:

http://www.internetretailer.com/top500/list/

The number 2 spot with about $10 billion in sales is - wait for it - TA DA! - Staples!

Wait how can that be? All those Ambots showing up on my blog bragging about Amway is $10 billion in sales last  year.

Well maybe they’re off a bit in the list. Surely Amway with their $10 billion in sales has to be close to Staples number 2 spot.

Number 3 - Apple with $5 billion.

Oh oh. Now there’s a huge drop. Double. What the hell happened to Amway and all those ambots bragging about the $10 billion? Surely they weren’t lying were they?

Hmm. Amway. Ambots. Liars.

Yup its all making sense.

OK forget the drum roll. I’ll just keep scrolling down until I find Amway.

And down and down and down and down.....

They’re number 28. On a list of 500? I would think the ambots would be basking in glory about that and bragging about it to everyone. So how much does #28 make in sales? $912 million.

Uh, what happened to 10 billion? This seems to fall about 9 billion short.

Amway. Ambots. Liars.

Who’s #500? Magnet Street with $11 million.

I tried a few other searches such as the world’s top Internet sales. On those lists that are usually about 100 strong Walmart is number one and Amazon drops way down. Amway or any of its incarnations (Alticor, Quixtar) is nowhere to be found. You’d think if what those IBO’s are always bragging about 10 billion I’d find the company sitting in with other companies of comparative sales.  

Hmm. Amway. Ambots. Liars.

I did find Amway on a list a few years old. It was number 6 or 8 but didn’t say how much in sales.

I get it. Ambots parrot what their cult leaders say. They “duplicate” those lies. A cult leader spreads the word that Amway made $10 billion in sales last year and the gullible cult followers believe it and repeat it and brag about it.

Obviously Amway is making a lot of money scamming IBO’s with overpriced products but the total tally seems to be unknown other than the $912 million.

Its possible that Amway the corporation is worth 10 billion in its various assets. After all they’ve had 50 years to sock away the profits they make ripping people off but that amount doesn’t mean its their annual sales numbers.

Unless of course you’re a scamming lying Amway IBO trying to impress others with made up figures.

Amway’s Recruitment Tactics Similar to Cults

The first time we were in Amway we became clients of one of the people in our group who was a professional in her industry or so she claimed.

The goat incident questions her professionalism.

Mutual Amway friends lived on a small farm probably under 2 acres. They had bought a goat off this lady because she raised and sold them as a hobby. She threw in a second goat for them to keep the one they bought company. When our friends sold their house and downsized to an apartment they gave her back the two goats.

Now it gets weird. She starts phoning me and Ambot to see if we’d take the two goats. Back then we owned a small house with a tiny backyard. Where the hell are we going to keep goats? Our spare bedroom? She wouldn’t leave us alone about those fucking goats. I don’t even like goats! I didn’t interact with these two goats when our mutual friend owned them and I sure as hell didn’t want them. One day I was there and watched one of the goats jump our friend, wrap his hooves around him, and try to mount him. He was a big guy and able to fight off the beast. Maybe he should have got them neutered to reduce their sexual desire? These are just not the kind of animals that I would ever have any interest in owning even if I had room for them.

Over a period of two or three years she kept calling to badger me about the goats. I had no idea how difficult it was to give away 2 goats but apparently there’s not much interest in our part of the world. Makes me wonder how well she’s doing on goat sales if she can’t even give them away. She pissed me off so much about the fucking goats that I took my business elsewhere. I mentioned it to an acquaintance who is in the same profession. He said that is a violation of the code of ethics in the industry. She can’t be after her clients to sell or give away goats. He gave me the contact information of the regulating agency where I could file a complaint about her but I never did.

So why all this talk about goats when you’re expecting to hear about Amway’s recruitment tactics being similar to those of cults? I mean just get to the point Anna! Or are you doing the old Amway bait and switch trickery scam? Ha ha!

I’m getting there! This post really only serves to give a link to an interesting article called Amway’s Recruitment Tactics Similar to Those of Cults.

http://www.baskeptics.org/book/export/html/50

This article starts out about how a psychologist lost his license to practice after convincing clients to sign up in his Amway business.

That’s what made me remember the goats! Maybe I should have reported her and she’d have lost her license too even though she has nothing to do with the medical field, a different profession that is regulated. Oh shit I hope I’m not turning out like our former Platinum who would get sidetracked forever and rant about shit not even related to anything Amway.

I’m sure people losing their license to practice or getting fired from their jobs because of Amway is far more reaching than the one mentioned in this article. Most of the professions that Amway IBO’s would love to sign up in their downline have codes of ethic they have to follow and its likely some kind of breach to sign up their clients to an MLM using their position of authority as a stamp of approval.

Just like the woman trying to push her fucking goats on us!

The author of the article got tricked into going to an Amway meeting and was subjected to their cult tactics and he took notes. He was driven there by an ambot so he was basically stuck there trapped in a strange house in another town until his potential recruiter was ready to leave. I loved the part in the article where he describes how the street was packed with cars. He didn’t mention whether or not it was the clunker brigade! He writes about the charismatic likeable speaker who made fun of people who had jobs and who eventually got around to asking people in the room what their dreams are. And on and on it goes.

He described every Amway meeting I’ve attended!

Amway’s cult recruiting tactics have not changed over the years. This author breaks down the techniques so we can better understand why people do what they do when they’re under pressure in an Amway meeting.
