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 WWDB Dream Night 2013
11 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.
As being in Quixtar/Amway/whatever in around 2005/06 I can say that they are a load of trite. How is it that they still exist to this day? Even more so while we have a declining economy, did their numbers swell? This scam was banned in a few countries, I thought the ban would make its rounds here, and if not it should. I'd rather people spend hundreds of dollars on Powerball tickets than Amway's overpriced products, and recorded "motivation". Pay money for their meetings? What company makes its workers pay them to attend a meeting, just like those functions in which people just speak at a stadium. Last time, I attended that I wanted to kill myself. Even more so that I had to pay $300 for that crap. Thanks Bill Brit you useless old codger.
ReplyDeleteYou got it dude! That was about when we were in too. It was still Quixtar so they could scam people into not thinking it was Amway. These bastards are timeshare salespeople in training. Use every trick in the book to scam people into signing up with Amway. Many people don't know who they're signing up until its too late and they don't get a chance to look on the Internet and find out its a scam until they've signed up and forked their money over. Amway hires the best damn liars around!
DeleteAnna;
ReplyDeleteAfter walking away from A/Q almost 11 years ago, I still have trouble taking an occasional nap. Feel guilty for daring to let down. That's what a cult does to you.
I was always thankful for Dream Night for 2 reasons: #1 It was within an hour from home, so not hotels. #2 It was relatively short - we would get there around 4pm and leave about midnight or 1 a.m. YOu know how it is. You have to hang around to show you are serious. You never know, a Diamond might have a morsel for you.
Even after all this time, I'm still relieved 4 times a year when I get to stay home from a major function.
Me, here. Can anyone give the details of the latest Dream Night?
ReplyDeleteCASSETTE TAPE
Why would you want that!?
DeleteGo to the WWDB web page. Log in is guest and password is dream. I think there's a link to Dream Night a banner or something to click on. It tells you when and where but very secretive about $$$
well you know what, i'm a sceptic and a careful risk taker, but after all that i'm reading, i think i might take another risk, i love to be able to talk for myself, if they are a pest and parasite... then amma find a way to be the pesticide or supm but but i'm going in with a lil supm supm and i'm coming out with more than supm, who laugh last laughs the best, oh i wanna, maybe turn up at dream night if it does not conflict with my schedule, & i don't plan to pay for a ticket out of my pocket or any of my friend's, i wanna see for myself what ther're about, i got a CD and i have no interest in watching it if their products are what they claim they are, then they will sell themselves, just like XFT. ;) Ya'll will hear from me again... oh might i say i agree that who ever it is from Amway that write those unintelegent post, they need to go back to elementary school and try sitting beside the teacher's desk this time so they can learn all over again, also if they are such a big company who is big on sales then they are to ensure their employee does not spoil their reputation!!!! eeeeewwww!!!! oh btw, my english is slightly different from American english... hope to share my side of the story soon. (for the records i'm a girl)
ReplyDeleteQurious Kyat - thank you for stopping by. If you're a careful risk taker then you should know to avoid any products that come with a claim that they sell themselves! Not when they've got the Amway name stamped on the box!
DeleteDream night was always my favorite function because it was over in less than 3 hours. On the other hand, it was one of the worst functions that I have ever attended because it seemed that we got Theron Nelsen 3 years in row. The straw that broke the camels back for me was when Theron Nelsen hosted the family reunion in Grand Rapids, Michigan. That function alone cost me over $1000 when I added up airfare, car rental, and the function cost.
ReplyDeleteMost functions were so damn boring that I wish the iphone was available to give me something to do other than listen to the nine million core steps that included buy crappy toilet paper, food bars that almost made me barf and eating about a thousand pills a day because they were supposed to be good for you. Good for your upline is about all they were good for.
Mark - 3 years in Amway! Wow! In a bad way wow!
DeleteSomehow I remember Dream Night dragging on longer than 3 hours. Maybe it only felt that way. All Amway events dragged on for eternity.
But yeah you tell it like it is. Boring and crappy products sums up Amway in a very kind way. I pull a few more punches when I talk about what I went through.
Just went to dream night yesterday. Got invited by a couple we know (2 yrs in), and they said it was going to be a formal dinner and have a few motivational speakers. We thought, hey why not? We got very dressed up and felt super fancy! It was a very nice dinner and the speakers (Duncan) were very motivational. (We are NOT in amway and have absolutely NO desire to join ). We got free tickets but were 70 dollars per person, so 5 bucks more than when you went.
ReplyDeleteOverall it was a nice night, but we still aren't joining. I need to focus on finishing Medical School and doing something with my life that TRULY helps people (and what I've wanted to do my whole life - why waste my dream on selling crappy products I don't like?)
I think their products are sub-par: they use artificial sweeteners, fillers, and other known carcinogens in soaps and shampoos. I'm sticking to Whole Foods for my supplements (Barleans fish oil) and body products!
Hi Anonymous. Thanks for stopping by to tell us about your experience and the current price tag which is top secret information by the way!
DeleteNow really would you have paid $70 for that? You might have got free tickets but the person who invited you paid for them and will be riding your ass for the next few months to come to an Amway meeting. In the months leading up to Dream Night our sack of shit Platinum would badger the people in our group how many extra tickets they were planning to buy. Everyone said 5, 10, 20 whatever but no one bought more than they needed for themselves and their date. They can't afford it for one and its tough to convince someone not in Amway to attend.
You seem to have figured it out. Probably got a good dose of the brainwashing doled out by the Amway cult leaders at the dinner and watching the over top adoration by the ambots. Sickening. Amway is all about begging people you know to buy overpriced shitty products and signing up people which is really tough to do. You go it. Amway sells generic and sub standard products at premium prices. Its all part of the scam. You only get rich in Amway if you own the company or an heir.
Good luck in med school and for having the drive to do something with your life to help others in a good way.
