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!

The Ambot Amway Leadership Dilemma

5 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 have a funny suspicion that many Amway diamonds might be living on the edge themselves. A diamond lifestyle is simply not easily sustainable on $200,000 a year or whatever some of them make in a year. After taxes and other expenses, they are living in the middle class. If they have mansions and Ferraris, the are probably in debt.
ReplyDeleteI think its plausible that some Diamonds have the income they claim and/or their materialistic possessions through other sources as well as Amway - inheritance, investments, life insurance pay offs, etc. Much the same way other people come into money. The poor little me act before I found Amway that they all seem to tell the same story is just another lie. Amway says Diamond income is just under $150k so nobody buys multiple mansions and sports cars on that kind of income unless they're heavily in debt. Nicholas Cage earns a few million on his movies, way more $$$ than an Amway Diamond earns, and even he can't afford an Amway Diamond lifestyle and is in debt.
DeleteI can't tell you how many times during our years in Scamway that our upline encouraged us to go to more than one Dream Night or FED so we could "experience more of the magic". Yeah right, you mean add to the coffers of the Scamway bigwigs and shell out our hard-earned dollars and maybe get sucked in to buying more tools.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about Leadership or Family Reunion- at the time we were in the biz, there was only one each per WWDB Diamond or above, depending on your upline. Maybe Scamway has shrunk so much the big pins have to pool resourses and go broader, know what I mean? We were part of the Nelsen (oops- I just realized I've been spelling it wrong, bad me) family, so our upline "family" was all about the Hawkins', Harstads (left Scamway, now in Eniva), Gonsers, Halls (in and out of diamond qualification), Goldens, Felbers, Kizirians, Danziks (Howie and 1st wife, Ann, divorced right after they became diamond, 2nd wife Theresa was downline from another WWDB diamond out of Hawaii), Popovich's, etc. Since it's been 10 years since I left Scamway, anything's possible but I'd bet my year's supply of Tide on downsizing and combining to save them money.
Anonymous - it would be more fun to be backstage at one of those WWDB Amway functions and listen to the Diamonds fighting over how they're splitting up the proceeds!
DeleteYep, like hungry jackals snarling and snapping at one another over a carcass.
