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!

You Need a Manual for What???!!!!
17 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.
You had me at "you have earned the privilege yet". L.O.L. for real! LOL.
ReplyDeleteEver see the movie "Glengarry Glen Ross"? That's WWDB to a "T."
---Daniel
Nope haven't seen that movie. Is it a comedy?
ReplyDeleteAmway couldn't care less about the quality of their brainwashed minion's marriages. Only that the spouse be submissive to the Ambot and support their so-called "business". If they did have an Amway marriage manual, the first half would be devoted to chauvinistic "get your woman in line, buddy" garbage, with the latter chapters devoted to "if she questions you emptying your bank account to the Amway upline gods, here are steps on how to leave her".
ReplyDeleteTheir concern for the Ambot's marriage is about the same as their concern for the Ambot in general. They love and "care" for the Ambot only so far as they represent money in their pockets. Anything that stands in the way of that... including a marriage... must be removed.
~Dave
Yup that's right Dave. I shall incorporate some of those as chapters when I write a review of the Amway Marriage Book. Coming up in a blog post soon!
Deleteno, it's about unethical cut-throat salesman. Starring Alec Baldwin, Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon, written and directed by David Mamet. You should pick it up. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104348/

Hi Anna:
ReplyDeleteJust a quickie to let you know that Amway has their "logo" painted under the ice at "The Joe". You have to look at it while watching Redwings Hockey...yuck! I thought they didn't need to advertise and more went to the IBOs in bonuses. NOT! I also saw an Amway ad on TV a couple weeks back. I know this does not pertain to this particular post, I just wanted to share this with you. BTW great dental check up last week! Goin' on 4 years of using that negative Crest. Gums nice and stable. I had rather extensive periodontal work done that was all finished in 2008, stuff like bone grafts, but all better now, despite the Crest.
David - well I don't watch hockey. I don't know what "the joe" is but Amway has as much right as anyone else to put their advertising out there if they come up with the money the venue wants. The venue can't very well decline if they've got advertising space for sale or they'd be accused of discrimination and Amway would probably sic their high powered attorneys on them! I did see some Amway advertising somewhere really odd. It might have been a figure skating contest? Maybe something else. I don't remember. It was several months ago I saw it on TV. It really pisses me off that a company that has brought so much misery to so many people is trying to reel in more victims. Our sack of shit Platinum always used to go around bragging that Amway didn't need to advertise anywhere. Makes you wonder why they "need" to all of a sudden!
DeleteGood work on the dental check up! Kind of makes me remember those old Crest commercials that were on TV when I was a kid!
Wow you people are very misinformed or just don't care to learn some facts. Amway is a very successful business model for over 50 years. How long has your company been doing business? Are there some bad IBOs? Yes, just like there are bad people in every industry. Amway did $10.9 billion is sales in 2011 and 63% of that is returned to the producing IBO. If you don't produce you don't get paid. It is that easy. Artistry brand skin care and cosmetics is used by Miss America and all of the contestants. Amway has been giving International Environmental Awards before going green was cool. I could go on and on how you are misinformed but it is actually a waste of my time. I am trruly sorry you have devoted an entire blog to stealing people's dream. Enjoy your lives of working for other people and worrying if your company or government job will be around in the future.
ReplyDeleteHi there Anonymous from Seattle Washington.
DeleteYet another lying Amway asshole showing up at my blog claiming I have a job working for someone else when I haven't worked for someone else in years because my husband and I have our own company.
I'm getting really tired of you fucking lying Amway IBOs showing up here and accusing me of working a job - like thats such a bad thing. So you rotten little bastard from Seattle you have 12 hours to post information about where I work, what my job is, how much money I make, and where the hell is all this fucking money I supposedly make at my job?
If you don't respond in 12 hours you will be the topic of tomorrow's post called "Lying Amway Asshole of the Week". We're in the same time zone so 12 hours will make it just before 7am. Actually you get off lucky because I rarely haul my ass out of bed that early in the morning though I do have to go over to a relative's house tomorrow morning to help them out with something and then go for lunch so I will be up early enough - for me. So even though I say 12 hours it will probably be closer to 13 or 14 but I'm sure you get my drift. If not counsel with your Amway upline about how to respond and explain what you were doing reading and commenting on a negative Amway blog. Isn't that a big no no?
12 hours Amway asshole! Provide proof of my job or be the Amway asshole of the week!
The old Scamcards in your memory-bank are playing tricks on you Scamshitbot. Your program model for ‘The Business Plan’ should be: “I’m an Ambotshit Quixcum piece of Scamfuckshart that was programmed by my fuckupline-creator to suck at life”…NOTHING MORE QUIXSHITBOT! Now be a good little tinscamdroid and go fetch your fuckupline-creator and the chief-kingpins some more of that cash you make at your DAY-JOB you piece of Scamfuckshitjizzbot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DeleteAlways
The Scamshitbot Destroyer
Yeah you tell him Destroyer! That rotten Amway bastard from seattle must be wishing he didn't show up to leave his bullshit Amway propaganda here especially when it had nothing to do with the topic of this post. Amway asshole of the week!
DeleteIt's interesting how they mock and deride J.O.B.s when they all HAVE to have one to support their Amway addiction. Unless rent, food, utilities, gas, Amway tools, functions, etc are less than the $30 check from Amway they may get on any given month.
DeleteSomething has to pay their bills, and it sure as hell can't be their pittance from Amway.
~Dave
Dave - to get a $30 check ambot would have to be running close to $1000/month in Amway sales probably mostly "buying from their own store". Most ambots can't keep that up too long until they hit the limit on their credit card.
DeleteOur commission checks from Amway never even came close to paying any of our bills! Not even anywhere near close to covering the overpriced products we had to quota on each month. Maybe enough to buy a couple of CD's but not enough to afford any of the other tools.
The thing is to separate how much money a person is making from their REAL job from what they are making off Amway (or in most cases, how much they LOST that month to Amway).
DeleteOftentimes an Ambot will try to trick a prospect into thinking the new car they bought or trip they took was paid for by Amway, when in reality it was paid entirely through their real job (that is, for the Ambots lucky enough to have a good job to keep Amway from sending them to the poorhouse). More often than not, the brainwashing can make them also think that Amway paid for the things their job actually had.
I read one story of a girl working as a babysitter for a couple who were always trying to pull her into Amway. They pretended the lifestyle they had was due to Amway, when in reality the wife was a college professor and the husband sold real estate and had a pension coming in from the Navy. The only thing Amway contributed was making them pushy, arrogant, lying and nasty people. Of course, perhaps they were that way before Amway, but I'm sure that kind of personality made them well-suited for Amway.
~Dave
Dave - I'd say very few IBOs actually keep track of how much they're losing in Amway. There's a reason why the Amway upline "phony" business owners don't teach the downline how to prepare a profit and loss statement. That would be a reality check with the losses at hundred of dollars a month. WWDB did have a report that showed how much you made in Amway that month but you had to pay $50/month premier membership to access it. It broke down sales, PV/BV and earnings. Even if ambots looked at that and saw they spent $1000 in a month to buy Amway products and got a commission check for $30 that should have been a huge red flag but they're told to ignore the facts. Those numbers will turn around once you get real big in Amway. Amway is all a pretend game. Pretend you own a business. Pretend the Amway income got them a car, trip, nice house, enviable lifestyle. Just keep real hush hush about the real income that is buying those things from a J.O.B. or investements or whatever.
DeleteAnonymous, you are an idiot. I put up with Scamway for 13 years. Told it was wrong to question my husband's desire to impoverish us with his zealot's need to buy tools and go to functions when we could barely afford to clothe our children. We had nasty 'Amway discussions' during travel to and from every long-distance function because, according to everyone else, I was the one responsible for the failure of our biz to grow, even though right up until almost the end I was core too. I was accused of filling our lives with negative when I just wanted to watch a damn tv program or listen to the radio for a change instead of cult tape reprograming. My school-aged children would be assigned current events for homework but we didn't take a newspaper because it was "too negative". My toddlers made running errands hell because they'd get bored in the car listening to Mommy's Scamway shit and misbehave. The day of 9-11 do you know what I was doing? Hastily jimmying up rabbit ears to our television so I could hear the latest horrific news about the airline crashes because my Scamway zombie of a husband didn't have us connected to the (OMG) negative cable tv. He was out of town, and I caught hell from him when he returned for watching the news. Our country was attacked by terrorists, and all I got was lectures about my negativity!
DeleteAnonymous - Anon from seattle is just quoting his upline. Dumb ass brainwashed ambot. Part of the fun of writing this blog is putting up with drive by Scambots.
DeleteYou and the wife of every other ambot has heard the same accusation of why you're responsible for failure in Amway. You'll never hear those Amway assholes admitting the system is designed for failure and that less than 1% of IBO's will actually make some money at this pyramid scheme - no matter how supportive their wives are. Or aren't! I'm glad you're no longer putting up with the Amway shit! Cost you a marriage but you get a peaceful normal life in return.
