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!

Unsupportive Wives = Lack of Amway Success?
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.
I really am impressed by your blog. You do blow the cover off of the upline cult leaders. You recognize that to recruit someone into this scam business is 'intent to defraud.'
ReplyDeleteThere are horrors of having an Ambot in the family as well. You don't necessarily have to be married to one of these drones to suffer bad consequences.
Keep up the good work
Thank you quixtarisacult!
ReplyDeleteAmway is pure evil. More than the financial devastation it causes, this evil company allows evil cult leaders to destroy lives, destroy relationships, destroy bank accounts, and cause mental anguish.
Its a complete feeling of utter distress when these evil Amway cult leaders get their hooks into anyone while using lies such as becoming financially free and helping others. Watching someone suffer whether its a family member, friend, or even someone you don't know at all is agonizing especially when you know the truth about what will happen if they stick it out with this evil cult.
Oh, I can't even go there. Talk about overcoming an objection before it happens. What if your decision is to take on another wife? Would she be squelching your dream if she objects?

Anna, if only there were more courageous and honest people like you and 'Quixtarisacult'- prepared to broadcast the ugly truth lurking behind the reality-inverting 'Amway' propaganda.
ReplyDeleteDown the years, I, and others (including a former British government Minister), have tried in vain to convince successive Ministers in current British governments, that, despite appearances, pernicious cultic group's like 'Amway' and 'Scientology' can take complete control of their long-term adherents' reality and ultimately destroy not just them, but also their friends and families. However, in Britain, officially, pernicious cultism still does not exist - mainly because very few victims have had the courage to come forward and tell the truth. There are actually academics (some of whom have been co-opted by pernicious cultic groups)who have advised British government Ministers that the (rare) testimonies of former adherents, and of their friends and relatives, should not be trusted. As you already know, for years, the bosses of 'Amway' have secretly financed two so-called 'cult advice associations' in Britain. Anyone approaching the directors of these 'Amway'-controlled fakes, Ian Howarth and Graham Baldwin, seeking information about 'Amway,' has been told that 'Amway' itself is not a cult, but that the company has sought to remove cult-style practices from within its networks.
Yet we have had the dubious privilege of witnessing for ourselves how unsuspecting individuals can be tricked (often by persons whom they already trust) into entering the counterfeit 'Amway' culture in which their existing perceptions of right and wrong are overturned and then made absolute. As a result, we now accept that apparently rational persons can suddenly abandon all reason and allow themselves to be abused and exploited whilst participating in the abuse and exploitation of others.
Although 50+ years of evidence proves 'Amway' participation to be a genuine form of slavery, whilst they remain under the reality-inverting control of their group, Ambots are convinced that no one is controlling them and that their own salvation depends on saving others.
In short, Ambots are psychotic. Sadly, if they encounter vulnerable, ill-informed individuals, Ambot psychosis can be contageous.
Reading your Blog is a good vaccination against Ambot psychosis, and in some (but, sadly, not all) cases, the cure.

Anna, my experience is that Ambots many times aren't there for their children--although family is supposed to be so high on the Amway scale of priorities. Ambots 'rope' parents, family and friends into providing care for their amorphans while they out dream selling.
ReplyDeleteAmbots in the end 'burn bridges' with their closest relatives while also alienating all their soon to be former friends.) People who wake up are realize they have failed in the business many times are pre-programmed to blame all those people who did not support them with time and money. Chief amongst these would be an unsupportive wife.
CT - can you imagine if word got out that ambots are polygamists? Ha!
ReplyDeleteThank you David!
ReplyDeleteI think the reason that more people don't come forward is because they were sponsored into Amway by a good friend or a relative or someone they actually like.
On the flip side I was in Amway before and already knew it for being a lousy business opportunity and we didn't make any money and had little chance of making any. I had no awareness of it being a cult back then.
This last foray into hell which is what I talk about we were sponsored by a friend of my husband's who I've never liked. This time I got the full blown cult atmosphere.
Seeing as how these were people I don't like and would not normally be friends with I have no problem telling it like it happened. I know some IBOs say that their upline are wonderful, giving, lobing people but they're brainwashed to say that. Never speak negative!
Certainly I get some people who read my blog and say they're getting out and thanking me for preventing them from the hell that awaits them but I get way more wives and girlfriends who hate what is happening to their lives and relationship and their significant other being brainwashed and wiping out their money. Its a horrible place to be in and it helps them to know that they're not alone and gives them hope that their partner will grow up and get out of the cult.
quixtarisacult - there were a lot of younger couples at the Amway meetings I attended and most of them had to hire babysitters. Amway meetings went well into the night. If I was lucky we got home by midnight but many times it was later than that. That's a lot of money to fork out to the babysitter not to mention time you're missing with your children. Depending on how many years they invested into the Amway scam they probably end up with children who get out of the house as soon as they're able to and don't really care one way or the other if they have a relationship with their parents who were never there for them when growing up.
ReplyDeleteYup ambots burn bridges all right. Most eventually quit Amway and sometimes they're unable to repair the damage they've caused. Yup ambots are quick to point fingers at everyone except themselves.
Who says a dream is elusive? It is every uplines' dream to break apart relationships that involve young couple. And they are succeeding at it. Lost my girlfriend to this cult. Tried so much to fix my relationship but the scumbag soulsucking shithead upline brainwashed her. Thank you Anna for fighting back. Shithead uplines are not targeting women anymore, it is anyone in a relationship with IBOs.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - sorry to hear about your girlfriend. Unfortunately the Amway cult members brainwash their new recruits into leaving behind everyone who does not support Amway and the vast amounts of money that the recruit must throw at the great Amway god. Absolutely agree with you that it was our upline's dream to destroy my marriage. Most enthusiastically by our sack of shit Platinum. But age does not matter. Young or old the upline will break apart any relationship they can.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
