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!

Dead or Broke by Age 65?
16 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.
LOL, why are the old diamonds still working? Because they have to?
ReplyDeleteSeems like retiring and walking the beaches of thw world because of an Amway business is just as much a myth as bigfoot. Everyone's heard about it but nobody has actually provided proof that they exist.
Actually, this statistic is true ... in 1930!!! And even then it's probably closer to 50% than 95%.
ReplyDelete(This is one of the argument the gov't use for creating Social Sec system).
It's absolutely/patently false today. Otherwise, we won't have the SS deficit :)

Joecool - old Diamonds never die? Yeah its gotta suck if you have to keep working past age 55 or 60 or 65 or whatever age you deem to be retirement age.
ReplyDeleterlaurens - interesing article. Even more interesting if the Amway liars have to go back to the great depression era for their facts and figures which are still off. 50% poverty for elderly during the depression, less than 10% poverty today for that age group. Lets see if the Amway liars update their information. Unlikely when you're in the business of scamming people with your lies!
ReplyDeleteOnly dead broke 65 yr olds are the ones who are still involved in amway at that age. I use to sit through the house meetings thinking where they get these stats from? They didnt have the internet back then and nobody bothers to look up these stats or research it.
ReplyDeleteNobody except me!
ReplyDeleteJoeCool-Amway retirement like Bigfoot? LMAO!! That's hilarious!
ReplyDeleteIn George Orwell's allegory of a totalitarian State, 'Animal Farm', the starving animals are enslaved by the promise of retirement, and endless food and leisure, in a future secure paradise. The fat and greedy pigs who rule the farm, paint a pretty picture of a sunlit green pasture that will be set-aside for the exclusive use of the most loyal, and hard-working, animals. In reality, when the old cart horse, Boxer (who is the most loyal and hard-working animal), becomes too old and sick to be of any further value to the pigs, he is secretly sold for slaughter to a glue factory.
ReplyDelete'Amway', like all cults, is an exloitative totalitarian State in microcosm. Anyone who wants to understand how the reality-inverting 'Amway' regime is not at all original, should read 'Animal Farm.' Notice how Orwell's thought-provoking book is not on the list of 'Amway's' recommended (thought-stopping) reading-matter.

David - thats a good analogy though its been a few decades since I last read Animal Farm....
ReplyDeleteHello Mr Lonely! Didn't you do a drive by spamming on my blog a few months ago? The only taker I'm afraid you're going to get is Colin who will undoubtedly report back to us about how dumb ass your web page is!
ReplyDeletei heard this lie in BWW over and over. i guess it was designed to scare newbies to lose future hope from their current endeavors and join or continue staying in scamway.
ReplyDeleteyou know this stat of 5% that ambots like so much to claim also destroys another one of their lies. how many of the 5% are scamwayites?
if not all of the 5% are ambots oh well excuse me then. that means scamway is not for everyone, not everyone will do/does it. huh, very telling. it therefore follows that evidently it's not the best "business" in the world bar none. people do do other businesses.
so all you ambots know this is an unsupported claim by your cult leaders. ibo's stop lying, stop repeating the lies you heard from stage, cd or whatever, and try to think for yourselves.
in the meantime any ibo is welcome to point us to a legitimate source of these numbers. i would not mind to eat my crow.
ExAmbot - it was WWDB for us which is futher proof that all the LOS teach the same lies. The IBO's will never be able to point out a legitimate source for the bullshit they parrot because it does not exist. If you confront them on their lies they'll do the usual name calling. The trademark of a successful scammer is how well they lie. If they're no good at lying they'll be no good at scamming other people out of their money. I'm sure you also heard the same bullshit about how social security and your pension won't be there when you retire. How come we never hear about this anywhere else except inside Amway meetings?
ReplyDelete95% of all statistics are wrong 80% of the time, 9 times out of 10.
ReplyDeleteHere's some more statistics.
ReplyDelete100% of CORE IBO's are liars.
95% of IBO's who are not CORE are liars.
The other 5%? They're married to ambots and tell it like it is and wish their husbands would find a more honest reputable business.
Here's a really interesting article-from a former fraudster who writes a blog called White Collar Fraud- on the art of 'spinning" which is a fancy name for lying:
ReplyDeletehttp://whitecollarfraud.blogspot.com/p/advice.html
All the articles are informative but I found the one on "spinning' to be the best. My favorite quote:
"When you cannot defend your actions or arguments attack the messenger to detract attention from your questionable actions".
Sounds like Ambots to me!
Connie - certainly in our line of WWDB our Platinum was very good at attacking people especially when the other person was probably right and he had no defense or response. Son of a bitch doesn't like losing any arguments. He even told us that his wife has never won an argument with him. Now that has got to be a happy marriage! Asshole!
