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’re Not Man Enough To Be In Amway!
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.
Our upline never got abusive, but then, they never did much for us either. At the time we got recruited in Amway, my husband and I owned an electrical business in our small 'burb in southern Cali. Our sponsor, whose normal job was construction so he needed some supplies and came in to buy from us, had been in the business for about 3-4 years and were at the 4000 level even though I know they were following the plan religiously. Long story short, sponsors had originally come from Idaho and moved back 5 years after we got involved (and they were still at 4000, btw) but then they refused to make trips back to help with meeting our new prospects. Their sponsors- our directs- were willing to fly down every couple of months but only because they had a few people in their own downline nearby. Our business wasn't growing of course (does anybody's, I mean really, does anybody's?) and the direct had the nerve to keep parroting "just keep doing what you're doing". Okay, right, uh-huh, nobody is signing up under us, meaning we must be inadequate losers or obviously desperate or something, but just keep doing what we're doing. Like that's going to help. Come to think of it, I think our sponsor "borrowed" several teaching tools (tapes, etc.) from hubby when they were out showing the plan or doing follow-ups and never returned them or got them back from prospects like he promised. Hey, maybe that's why we failed.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - the only REALLY abusive people in our upline were our Platinum, another guy who Platinumship was alwasy alluding him (and he was a wavering abuser) and the fucking asshole that sponsored us. Like being in Amway before us was something that put him on a power trip position. It never worked with me because I had too many years history of never liking that son of a bitch. Amway only decresed that dislike.
DeleteYour sponsors likely couldn't afford to travel costs between Idaho and S.Cal to meet with your prospects. Why'd they go there? Its cold! Probably so they could provide free IBO slave labor to the Puryears. That big old house of theres probably needs someone to dust it 24 hours!
Nobody's business grows but that doesn't stop ambots from lying about how business is going great!
Our upline "borrowed" stuff from us too that we never saw again. Not that I want that Amway shit back but I don't waste an opportunity to let everyone know our upline were thieves!
If only my departure from amway was that exciting. That SOB platinum would have had to change his number! Possibly his adress. After i started ignoring my upline, they would just send texts saying "we need to chat with you". I replied that if they had my refund check ready i would be there right away. So of course they stopped pretty quick. They were a funny couple. The wife did all the talking, called all the shots and basically kept the husbands nuts in her purse. The guy was like the little lap dog. What a spineless fucking lame that guy was.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - yup that's a surefire way to get rid of an Amway asshole. Ask them where YOUR money is and when they're going to give you money. The first time we were in Amway WWDB it was the wife who did most of the talking too. Maybe it was the same Platinum you had! Ha ha! No. They're no longer in Scamway.
DeleteDid you expect to make money when you didn't do the work?
