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 Cult Leaders Influencing Downline Votes
I'm not talking about the candidates or debates or their platforms. I'm talking about the Amway cult leaders and their "influence" on the ambot cult followers on how they should vote.
The ambots would flock around their beloved Amway cult leaders to pick up whatever words of bullshit they could hang on to and with an election on the horizon Amway meetings often became political rallies at some point in the night. The upline would tell the downline how they should vote. Never question upline. Just do it!
Our sack of shit Platinum's preferred presidential candidate in 2008 was Obama. I don't know if that was his presidential choice or if he was sending down the voting orders from a Diamond or Ada. If he wasn't a brainwashed Amway bastard I don't know if Obama would have been his choice or not. My guess is Obama would have had his support whether or not he was in Amway and being told how to vote.
Its a free country. No American should be convinced which way to vote just to gain favor and brownie points with someone they're trying to impress. Especially when its a fucking Amway ambot! Who wants to impress one of those bastards? Not me! You get people like me and when your upline tells you to do something and you said fuck you and do the opposite.
Everyone in our line was pro-Obama whether or not they were they talked as if there could be no other choice.
I'm not so sure how they feel today about that choice. I wonder who will be the ambot's preferred presidential candidate this time around....

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.
Anna - Whatever was going on with your 'Platinum' Ambot, Obama was certainly not the candidate supported by cash stolen by the 'Amway' racketeers. But then, despite high-hopes, the Obama administration has done precious little to hold either billionaire Wall Street banksters, or billionaire 'MLM' racketeers, to account.
ReplyDeleteThis time round, you've got Mitt Romney leading the grinning pack to become the Republican candidate for the US presidency. I don't know if you've been following my recent posts about Mr. Romney on Corporate Frauds Watch, but he's already been taking large quantities of stolen cash off the billionaire racketeers behind the 'Amway' copy-cat known as 'NuSkin.'
'NuSkin' has been described as the 'Mormon Amway.'
Predictably, the mainstream media hasn't been interested in this apparently-pious 'Mormon' politician being corrupted by apparently pious 'Mormon' racketeers.

David - Obama did rather well in California. I definitely remember being at the Platinum's house on election night. I don't recall if there was an Amway meeting going on - probably unofficially - but the TV was on with the election results coming in and everyone in the room was very happy with Obama's results. Maybe we're just renegades on the west coast.
DeleteAlways thought ambots where suppose to vote Republicans. Cause there's more Christians in that party.
ReplyDeleteColin - I think that is probably correct but not in the Platinum's household or at least for the last election. At Free Enterprise Days one of the Diamonds and I don't know who because all those Ken and Barbies looked alike said he'd named his son Reagan after the greatest president America's ever had and the room exploded with applause. Now whether he was the greatest president is debatable but he certainly was my favorite president a sentiment shared by many in this part of the land! Anyway this kid came on stage to read something he'd memorized. He was about 10 years old and was doing not bad until he forgot his lines and daddy had to step up to the microphone and prompt him. I have no idea what passage the kid was quoting but it was boring as hell. Takes after daddy!
DeleteMaybe ambot leaders want to make it look like they support obama cause he's black. Probably easier to recruit blacks & minorities into this cult.
DeleteColin - you may be right.
DeleteInteresting your upline was sympathetic to Obama. In all of my Amway exposure (my LOA is BWW) Diamonds are CLEARLY in the tank for Republicans. The political bias was so heavy handed and out of hand that I think that's part of what forced Amway's hand on accreditation.
ReplyDeleteMany CDs have diamonds talking about "liberal moral decay", Reagans greatness, Democrats being anti-free enterprise, etc etc.
Anonymous - I suspect my upline voted the way there were told to by Diamonds or higher but were happy that Obama won the presidency. Whether or not they still feel that way?
DeleteI never really did listen to those CDs. Blasting away in the car like I was at some deep south fire and brimstone sermon in a tent made me even further resent those screaming Diamonds.
Anna, many americans are losing their homes. I dont think the diamonds are paying attention to who's in office now. The ambots cant afford to buy anything or get more credit.
ReplyDeleteColin - you need to go to a few Amway meetings and hear the creative ways the upline has for the ambots to keep buying more Amway junk. It usually involves into going into debt or putting yourself at financial risk of bankruptcy and/or foreclosure.
DeleteI've always thought that the whole "trickle down" economic theory was very similar to the Amway system. "Make us at the top super rich without oversight or regulation and then wait patiently and it'll slowly trickle back down to you like magical pixie dust". And discourage people from educating themselves and instead to just believe those at the top when they say "trust us".
ReplyDeleteThe trickle down theory is one of those ideals that sound good on paper, but doesn't take into account the tendency of those at the top to really not care about those below them and instead work only on figuring out ways to keep more to themselves through fraud, corruption and lies. All while smiling a toothy smile and pretending to uphold "Christian" values.
Sure sounds like Amway, doesn't it?
Anonymous - you're absolutely right. The trickle down theory! Except that doesn't work too good in Amway! Maybe nowhere else either! Yup, I told my husband that the Amway plan looked good on paper those exact words too but what was the likelihood of pulling it off. We don't know many people who are open to being ripped off. The top people at Amway don't care about other people. They only care about their greedy motives to acquire material possessions to the financial detriment of the people they walk all over.
DeleteScAmway charlatan "leaders" were quite invective towards democrats (made one think they were talking about a non-human form of life) and even though they always insinuated we vote conservative that's what they repeatedly told us, to vote republican. It's unlike the cult that your knuckle head platinum in going for Obama, he must have committed blasphemy against the dear "leaders, "the one called" don't question upline. For a moment I thought it was a shread of independent thought and choice but something told me no it can't be.
ReplyDelete"trickle down" economic theory
Yep that's scAmway. And yep it doesn't work out in real life either. If it takes about 1500 ambots spending or self-consuming crap, within a self-consuming, closed market swindle, that's a lot of people dolling out their cash for the privilege of one guy being referred to as a success i.e. a diamond. It will take another 1500 ambots for the next similar feat and so on (many more, maybe 10x that, if you factor in all the ahem...quitters and drop outs by then.) Clearly this is not a business it's a ponzi scheme - just cash changing hands from lower ambots to scAmy kingpins and to scAmy billionaire owners. How much of that cash is from sales to outside 3rd party clients? As is almost always the case, insignificant or none. How much cash is earned from the hidden tools side "business" by kingpins, 50-85%. Does part of it go to buy influence with GOP politicos? Yes. And how much of it is from ambots? 100%! These shenanigans for privilege of being told to vote GOP? Heeeell NO!
ExAmbot - I think Colin probably got it right.
ReplyDeleteYou're more proof of how the Amway cult leaders try to get the masses to vote their way.
There is no doubt in my mind that our upline voted the way they were ordered to by their upline but were happy with the outcome.
