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 Can’t Brainwash All Of Us!
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.
Ahh yes there are times when having ADHD is a blessing and I enjoy every fucking minute of it! Amway people get pissed if you can only pay attention to them for about 3 to 5 minutes. Its funny that they all have this sense of entitlement like everybody is supposed to give a shit about their imaginary business. Get stuffed assholes!
ReplyDeleteHa ha! Absolutely agree! Ambots have this sense of entitlement and this attitude of how they are better than everyone else simply because they are in the Amway cult. Then they throw hissy fits if no one gives a shit about their phony Amway business and don't want no part of it and go around calling everyone else losers.
DeleteGet a clue! Not everyone wants to be brainwashed!
they are called amroids. They are a pain in ur ass!
DeleteYeah that's a good one! Worse than a pain in your ass though!
Delete"imaginary business"
DeleteHa Ha Ha that's is so funny Anon!
Anna - Another excellent post!
ReplyDeleteNo one in their right mind would pay to be brainwashed and trained to behave like an obedient dog, but millions vulnerable persons have paid for exactly this, simply, because it has been deceptively-packaged as 'self-betterment coaching/training'
One of the classic, co-ordinated devious techniques used to shut-down cult adherents' critical and evaluative faculties, and transform them into de facto slaves (popularly-known as brainwashing), is to destroy the new adherents' existing self-esteem/identity, and then, whilst they are in a state of psychological vulnerability, make them dependent on a self-gratifying, but wholly-imaginary, scenario that the cult alone represents a positive force of purity and absolute righteousness derived from the leadership's exclusive access to a superior or superhuman knowledge, which cannot be challenged.
This is why all core cult adherents, not just Ambots, behave like gangs of arrogant adolescents.
In reality, cults are psychological prisons - acting like distorting-mirrors, reflecting back an attractive, ego-building image to unquestioning adherents, but a completely unacceptable, ego-destroying image to those who begin to question.
Obviously, ego-based brainwashing is what the military call 'basic-training,' but volunteer military recruits generally have a good idea of what they will be subjected to. The technique works best on physically-isolated persons, like prisoners or conscript soldiers, who are already vulnerable and dependent on their handlers for information, food, water, light, etc. However, it also works well on any ill-informed persons who are already in a state of vulnerability (e.g. the sick, the vanquished, etc. and even the aimless).
In France, there is now a law which recognizes that there are various criminogenic organizations with the clandestine purpose of exploiting persons whom the deployable agents of these organizations have been trained to identify as being, and/or to push into, a position of vulnerability.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/About-Picard_law
Even though this French law doesn't actually mention religions or cults, tellingly, it was opposed by certain traditional religious groups as well as cultic groups. This French law was also criticized by the US government as being 'intolerant of religion.'
There are many co-opted academics who, for various reasons (usually financial), have claimed that 'there is no such thing as brainwashing,' but history teaches us that it has been all too easy to get vulnerable human beings to behave like obedient packs of dogs, simply by dissociating them from external reality with variations of essentially the same two-dimensional fairytale.
Any free-thinking persons, like you, who not only refuse to pay to play a dangerous cultic game of make-believe, but who openly-challenge its authenticity and ridicule its deluded inhabitants, are then unconsciously perceived by its deluded inhabitants as being a threat to their self-esteem/identity and related-psychological function.
Sadly, core cult adherents are functioning psychotics, and bringing them back into the world of quantifiable reality, involves destroying their new, group-related self-esteem/identity. Most former, core cult adherents remain silent out of fear and shame. That said, there have been a significant minority of former, core cult adherents who have managed to find the strength of character to tell the truth. However, whilst-recovering, for obvious reasons, former, core cult adherents can suffer from extreme identity confusion.

Thanks David. I'd say its pretty much impossible to brainwash someone who doesn't like you. If someone doesn't like you and knows you're a liar and a bullshitter then you got zero credibility with them cause they'll never believe anything you say. The asshole that sponsored my husband into Amway is someone I've disliked for many years and if that relationship wasn't already on shaky ground it totally disintegrated after the Amway fiasco. He still tries to brainwash my husband in the form of text messages or whatever but not doing so good. He's not allowed in our house but he will park in the street and sometimes stand in our driveway. If I see him out there I'll come out on the sundeck and make sure all my neighbors know there's a fucking Amway asshole standing there. Two doors down the 15 year old girl who always runs outside to say hi to me and play with my dog also used to come outside when she heard me swearing and curse him out too! Unfortunately she moved a couple of months ago. Its pretty hard to brainwash someone when 2 females are screaming obscenities at you! I didn't start out disliking our Platinum but the more I got to know him and his devious brainwashing antics I despised him too. He rather smartly has not shown up at our house. Word must be out he'll get cursed out and double cursed out if word hasn't reached him yet that my neighbors moved.
DeleteAnna, you are telling all and sundry that scAmway cannot brainwash us all? That's equivalent to blasphemy, right? Oh hell, who gives a flying leap about scAmway "it's a ministry" pseudo religious pernicious puerile pretend "business" cult and it's scammy kingpins - keep right at it! All and sundry need to hear it.
ReplyDeleteExAmbot - I say its pretty impossible to brainwash someone who doesn't like you. As you can probably tell by reading my blog - a little issue suffered by everyone in my upline! Yeah you tell them!
