I can’t tell you how many times I heard Ambot parrot his upline “Don’t say negative!” This was usually after I commented on how expensive an Amway product is or how shitty it tastes. I was telling the truth. Truth. An evil word to ambots. Just because something is true does not make it negative. Like any other criticism one takes in life one must grow a thick skin and accept it civilly and if its constructive criticism instead of mean criticism become better or make changes because of it. However things are beyond an ambot’s control such as lowering the high price tag Amway puts on their products or quality control and actually make shit and piss taste better.
The upline cult leaders usually the pompous sack of shit Platinum and occasionally the Emerald would jabber on about don’t let negative influences into your life.
What a sheltered life that is for an ambot. Unable to tell the difference between the truth and the negative. Believing their cult leaders that they are the only people in the world who speak the truth and everyone else is a negative liar. The Amway cult leaders don’t want their downline to be influenced by outside forces who can reason, tell them the truth, and show the IBO’s that they’re wasting their time and more importantly wasting their money on trying to build an Amway business.
The upline bastards would say don’t read newspapers, don’t watch TV, don’t listen to the radio. Most of all they’d say don’t listen to people who aren’t in Amway.
Yet these same cult leaders all seemed to know what’s going on in the world. How can that be unless they’re being negative and watching TV or reading a newspaper?
These Amway bastards are the most negative people around despite all their sermons about not being negative. At every Amway meeting they’d preach fire and brimstone sermons about Starbucks locations closing down or other businesses closing their doors. They’d spout off tons of doom and gloom about the recession and people losing their jobs. Our Amway upline are the most negative people I’ve ever met in my life!

Since writing this blog I’ve had a few dozen negative ambots show up here who all say the same thing. Some canned amspeak response they’ve duplicated from their cult leaders. They all accuse me of being a broke loser. They all accuse me of working a job. They all predict I’ll be dead or broke by the time I’m 65. They all call me a negative unchristian dream stealer. I mean talk about NEGATIVE! Its the old Amway cult influence. Spread negativity around the world courtesy of being an Amway IBO.
Those fucked up brainwashed ambots think they’re better than everyone else and here they are violating their upline cult leader’s rules by coming to my blog and spreading their Amway negativity.
Becoming an Amway “independent business owner” running a fake business, putting on a business suit, carrying a cell phone, lying to people that the business is not Amway, making false product claims, marching off to 8pm Amway cult meetings, and sneering at people who are not in Amway does not make an ambot a positive role model.
Drop out of Amway and that’s a big load of negative you’ll also be dropping.
When one of them says they own their own business I just want to slap the shit out of em. Its not a business you fucking idiot! You dont own it anyway! And if you own it why are others always telling you what to do? Do you have any capital in the company? Any assets? Didnt think so. Somebody owns it, but not you. You are a customer, and not a very smart one. Its kinda like a costco membership with a cult membership included. Hows that for negativity? You really think anybody gives a shit about your hopes and dreams? Your upline sure doesnt. If you think he does, try asking him to borrow money for groceries for your family.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - that just drives me up the wall too. They are not business owners. All they are is commissioned sales for Amway. But mostly all they are is Amway customers because of the buy from yourself bullshit they believe and they can't find anyone to buy so somehow they've got to singlehandedly make their own quota. And sideline cult recruitment to sell tools with whatever line of sponsorship they belong to.
DeleteNope. Nobody gave a shit about my dreams. Including my husband when he was in Amway. In Amway the bunch of male chauvinist pigs its all about the man's dream and if the woman doesn't want anything to do with Amway then she's a dream stealer. The real dream stealers are the upline and possibly the husband!
It's a mind control group
DeleteAs are all cults. Mind control all the better to get the recruits to sign over their money and worldly possessions.
DeleteHey, you could have just as easily been describing another pernicious cult: The Church of Scientology. Love your blog!
ReplyDeleteThank you quixtarisacult!
DeleteI don't know much about the church of scientology other than they have a good sized building on Hollywood Boulevard. One of the doors says for scientologists only and that sign always cracks me up. So what should we call people in the Amway cult? Shitologists!
Thanks! Afterall, IBOFB swears that Anna = Joecool.
DeleteSo are you saying that IBOFB isn't as dumb as he looks? Ha ha!
DeleteGoogle em theyre a trip! Aliens and spaceships lol. And from what I read it costs big bucks to be one just like amway. But if theyll let me test drive the spaceship im in!
ReplyDeleteWell seeing as how I drove a spaceship only last week I guess I can let you have the next flight!
DeleteMaybe they could destroy the ambots with thier space laser! So who wins a deathmatch between tom cruise and that de vos guy? Toms got the jedi-like force but the amway gods have the mind manipulation powers and the sexy suits/hair/mustaches. Ok enough clowning I have a J.O.B. to go to tommorow.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - I think Tom Cruise would win!
DeleteAnna - You would be surprised by how much you, and your readers, already know about the big 'Scientology'lie; for, after having studied the totalitarian/cult phenomenon for many years, I have come to the inescapable conclusion that, apart from the level of madness and the exact, hidden criminal objectives of the self-appointed leaders, there is essentially no difference between cultic groups. The made-up names of these dangerous games of make-believe have no more importance than the made-up titles of any other fairytales.
ReplyDeleteIn the adult world of quantifiable reality, so-called 'Amway Distributors' might as well call themselves 'Scientologists' and so-called 'Scientologists' might as well call themselves 'Amway Distributors'. Like obedient dogs, without the slightest hesitation, cult adherents automatically respond to names and commands, which are given to them by their masters.
'Ambots' and 'Scientologists,' like all cult adherents, have been intellectually castrated. They live in a group-delusion of their own absolute moral and intellectual supremacy.
If it wasn't for the serious results of cultism, then the whole phenomenon would be nothing more than a sick joke.

One of my friends just told me about how great amway was, and what he said made it sound pretty good. Making a couple hundred out of the side per month would be awesome. I decided to check it out some more and see what people who actually did it or who were affected by it feel. So Anna Banana, were you in amway and for how long? Because I want to know if I should join or not, but im not looking for just negative. I was reasons and facts. I am going to do this for people pro and negative about amway, so please give me some good info.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - if your goal is to make an extra $200 month there are better ways to do it. You could deliver pizza a couple nights a week. You could work a few shifts at a fast food restaurant a month or mow a few lawns. It is pretty much impossible for the average person to make $200 month selling Amway products. In the beginning you will have some friends and family buy from you as pity purchasers but Amway sells generic products at premium prices and people can buy similar products of better quality for lower prices. Smart shoppers won't make another purchase from you unless they feel sorry for you. Even if you do make $200 month you will have to spend at least $300 month buying your own Amway products to qualify for a commission check. You will also need to shell out money to attend Amway meetings and functions. Most people lose hundreds of dollars a month not to mention wasting a lot of time chasing the elusive dream. There is less than a 1% chance to make money in Amway. Surely you can find something with better odds such as buying a lottery ticket!
DeleteIn addition to Anna's cautions, I'd like to add that although no one literally forces you to attend their meetings, you'll often be told that you ABSOLUTELY MUST attend the meetings in order to succeed.
DeleteWhen some Ambots were trying to recruit my boyfriend and I as eighteen-year-olds, we let them take us to half a dozen Amway meetings - which THEY had to pay for. After hearing the same nonsensical ravings more than a few times, I realized that there was no way the Ambots were ever going to figure out that my boyfriend and I were just messing with them to see how much time they'd waste on us (apparently, they were prepared to waste more time on our games than we were), so we stopped returning their calls.
For true joy and happiness no matter your economic situation accept the Lord Jesus Christ in your heart its not a scam like Amway and you will never regret it for the reward is eternal life in heaven! It will change your life
ReplyDeleteI hated your nasty language, but I agree with you that Amway/Quixtar, whatever they are calling it today, is a nasty "business." My husband and I were in it twice and all in all for several years. Both times, it was the same thing. It doesn't matter "who" your upline is...the business stinks. The first time we were in, we were so "controlled" and "watched" by upline as well as downline, we couldn't even go to a movie for "fear" someone in the "group" would see us and "tell" on us to everyone that we weren't "showing the plan." We were Direct Distributors, not making a penny "net" in the business! It cost us a fortune! We were intimidated into spending money on functions, tapes, tools, etc. We were threatened and told that our downline would "go around us" and deal directly with our upline if we didn't do what they told us to do. It was mind control pure and simple. We had to be on standing order for hundreds of tapes and were told to sell them! If we couldn't "move" them downline, we had to just "eat them!" They would not buy them back and we were forced to buy whatever amount upline told us to buy. They were making profit on every tape we bought, no matter if we could afford it or if we wanted to buy them or not. Our upline Direct even told us when I balked at having to pay for all those unloadable tapes, "Satan is just using you against me and I need to pray against you!" More intimidation! To not do everything we were told meant we no longer "were in the business." We finally moved out of state just to get out from under this control! I have never felt so free in my life as the day we moved away from there and from them!!!!!! Pure joy! Many years later, my husband wanted to "try again" with a different upline, thinking it was just "the people" we were associated with. Nope...same, same, same story!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm thankful today that we ended all association with Amway. Looking back and seeing today what we didn't know back then, it was wise, wise, wise to leave! Our upline Diamond was apparently having a 14-year affair with his Amway secretary and had 2 illegitimate children with her. He and his wife divorced. Our upline Crown had an affair apparently, as well. When I see all the divorces among the Amway people we personally knew, it's almost mind boggling! That's what "the love of money" will do for you!!
My first husband died 6 years ago; four years later I remarried. I found out the man I married carried a $35,000 credit card bad debt due to his involvement in HerbaLife. Incredible!!! A couple of people made a killing off of the millions of gullibles like us!
Whenever you get that first sniff of MLM...RUN, DO NOT WALK, FOR YOUR LIFE!!! It will chew you up, spit you out, and you will be left in debt, feeling foolish, and without family and friends...which you will have to rebuild. Use wisdom. Don't even think twice. RUN!!!! As fast as you can in the opposite direction!!!!!
Hi Pam. Thanks for stopping by with your story. Very similar to just about everyone else who stops by. I'm going to bring it up to an upcoming post because this is an older post and most of my readers will miss it.
DeleteSometimes you have to do whatever it takes to get away from the Amway evil. Moving out of state. Huge decision and look how much better your life became without the Amway horror dragging you down.
Sorry to hear about your 1st husband and good on you for marrying a man with all that debt. Many woman wouldn't. Amway isn't the only MLM that brings financial misery and devastation to the masses.
Swearing at people in Amway is just so easy for me and it's entertaining to my readers. Thousands of visitors each month so they must love it! Swearing is Ambot repellant. People in Amway are prudes and won't stick around to read this blog. Whether or not they're prudes before and after their involvement with Amway is another thing but theyre brainwashed while in Amway and for some reason that cult has a problem with swearing. Oh well. Their problems ain't my problems!
They are to big to shut down 🐱🐕🐶
DeleteMaybe. But maybe they'll go out of business eventually.
DeleteJust so everyone is aware, Amway stands for American Way. It has been checked out by the government in the 1979 and it is a legitimate and legal business. Amway is honest, ethical and is the American Way.
ReplyDeleteYou're full of shit. Did you even read the link on the right side of my page that references that ruling? Or are you just repeating what the fucking assholes in your Amway upline interpret their version to be? Because I heard the same thing from the fucking assholes in my Amway upline. That's what those bastards do - twist the truth and twist religion to suit their purposes. Obviously your opinion and mine are miles apart in what we consider an ethical company. I don't consider companies who fuck people over and treat their employees like shit as ethical. You disagree. So what. We just have different opinions. For example I think the assholes in your Amway upline are a bunch of fucking lying bastards and I bet you love those assholes more than anything else in your life. Different opinions.
DeleteWell, if the American Way is brainwashing followers to lie, scam, destroy families and finances with less than 1% of any of them having a prayer in hell of making even the most remote profit at it, then that's a sad statement on the American Way.
DeleteJust because the word "Amway" comes from that doesn't mean SHIT. Actions speak louder than words, and the flawed "opportunity" of buying over-priced, sub-standard products and trying to recruit others to do the same is far from honest and ethical. But go ahead and lose money to the scam. This site is just to warn others of the things Ambots don't want their potential victims to know. And to keep them from getting fleeced as you are probably having done to you, even as your upline tells you month after month "success is just around the corner! All you have to do is buy more products and tools and attend more brainwashing conferences and you, too, will be a zillionaire"
You said it Anonymous! Amway is all about lie, scam, destroy families and finances. There's nothing that brings those Amway bastards more happiness than destroying other peoples lives sick sorry Amway assholes that they are.
DeleteBut you'll never convince a brainwashed Amway ambot that they're not going to get rich in Amway. They're all going to be zillionaires in 2 years and spend all their time walking the beaches of the world with all the other ambots.
Hello i really worry about this opportunity to make owner business my friend told some beautiful thing about that and he invited to one of their i don't what to do ? I want to make money but i don't Want make a bad business should i accept his proposition??
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - read the small print on the Amway literature. The part where it says only a fraction of 1% of IBO's will make money. That's over 99% failure rate. Surely you can find a business opportunity with better odds of success than Amway? You'd make more money flipping burgers at McDonald's 10 hours a week than you'd make all year in Amway.
DeleteAnyone negative about Amway call me Akshay Anand9835078848AKSHAY.KEC@GMAIL
ReplyDeleteWhy would someone want to talk to a lying, denying, cheating, deceitful Ambot? We've all heard the bullshit already that you would be trying to spout of "defend" the recruiting pyramid scam with overpriced products thrown in for good measure.
DeleteIt's bad enough to have brainwashed people we knew, or once knew, contacting us trying to recruit us, or coming up to us in Barnes and Noble. Why the hell would we want to go to YOU to get the phony bullshit sales pitch?
Amway has the terrible reputation it has for a reason... it EARNED it.
Akshay - what kind of a dumb fuck says call me and then is too fucking stupid to give a phone number? That would have to be an Amway dumb fuck! LOL! There's a big difference between a phone call and email dumb ass.
DeleteAnd I agree Anonymous. Who would want to talk to a lying, denying, cheating, deceitful Ambot when we've all heard the bullshit already. And then he's such a dumb fuck he doesn't even give a phone number to call him at. Can anyone say AMWAY LOSER!
DeleteWe don't need to call you, Akshay.
ReplyDeleteIf you have something to tell us about Amway, just post it here like everybody else.
Anonymous - we couldn't even call Akshay if we wanted to because the dumb fuck didn't give a phone number! LOL!
DeleteAnd yeah he can just post his dumb shit Amspeak propaganda here like all the other dumb ass Ambots that show up here to sneer at us how rich they are and the rest of us are going to be dead or broke by the time we're 65.
I just want to say thank you for sharing your experience.I guess I should start running from them.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - run far and fast from any lying scamming Amway assholes! You're welcome. I'm glad to hear this blog has helped you decide you don't need any financial and emotional distress in your life.
DeletePut on your best track shoes.
DeleteLOL! That would be helpful. So would growing wings! LOL!
DeleteDon't let their charm and their smile deceive you!
DeleteAnonymous - you mean that fake charm and fake smile and fake overly nice attitude? That's all part of what makes Amway Ambots fucking creepy!
