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!

Get 6 Month Jump On Other Amway Ambots
10 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.
Been to one major function. As a guest cause the Ambot over baught tickets. Could have swore some of the stories I heard where made up. Especially the diamond who was a constant drunk.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - ambots are encouraged to buy extra tickets for all these people they're sure will show up. More $$$ in the cult leaders pockets. They're all liars like you figured out.
DeleteI too have a story about my Amway experience in 2014. Due to the response restriction I can't post the full story I typed up. I wonder if you could post it for me as a blog post? Here is my conclusion though at the end:
ReplyDeleteWWDB is not in it to help you in anyway. If they were they wouldn't tell you to avoid criticism on the internet, they wouldn't be fearful or even in awe of their upline, and they definitely wouldn't force you to go to a major function that you felt was unnecessary. Tim (my sponsor) and his upline could have taken a chance on how I wanted to do things. They could have instructed me on how to be successful in selling the product, running my own business, recruit a successful team and still enjoyed their 4% kickback. It could have been a win-win situation with no loss financially to them and they could have helped me build my dream. I did not want to duplicate I wanted to sell Amway's good products (Xs was reasonably priced for example) and avoid their rip off ones (I think they retailed a knife set at 500$?). I also wanted to branch out and sell other things from their partners which would be easier to sell but generate less PV. However, all of my intended business ideas revolved around making me money through sales, making them money through sales, and building a team that made money through sales. None of the big wigs would however get a dime from me from functions or tapes and that's what WWDB is all about. The only dream that is being built is for somebody else's diamond. Get out while you can!
Great advice!
Delete"Just by going we’d be 6 months ahead of the IBO’s who didn’t go"
ReplyDeleteThis is true, but what it really means is:
1- You will be successful in 999 years and 6 months instead of 1000 years,
2- The function will be the standing order discs in six months. So, the "loser" will still hear the words spoken at the function, but for a fraction of the cost. Damn, those standing order discs are, by comparison, a real money saver.
Additional cost savings by the "loser:" not buying extra function tickets. You know, for those hot prospects you don't have. You can't get them to come to an hour-long meeting, but they'd LOVE to sit through a full weekend of this dribble.
Which leads me to point #3:
3- The "loser" is six months behind all right ... six months behind in becoming dead broke buying Amway tools and functions.
AnonTB
You got those numbers right!
DeleteYeah, there is a sort of "sleep deprivation" tactic to weaken your will at any Amway meeting. The "non-convention" ones may not last 12 hours, but even an hour feels like dread where you'd say almost anything to get the hell out of there, short of unleashing hell and telling them off.
ReplyDelete1st time they tried to get me to go to one of these... I could tell that it was going to be just like the 1 hour meeting, but more bullshit, but literally at my own expense at having to drive down there and get a hotel. What's scary to me was not only does this go on for the whole day, but through the weekend.
2nd time, a senior ambot goon had the nerve to tell every one spilling out into the hallway that "you're going to spend the gas money anyways! Check it out!" Heh.... I wasn't going to drive 220 miles that weekend (which was how far the round trip was). Even if I was driving that far, THAT would take precedence over this. I looked around, and a couple of the prospected said they have family obligations and made it sound like they were lying through their teeth to get out of this! Bravo! Oh, and the ambot presenter tried to pass these conventions off as a big deal saying there will be people like from Ireland and other nations coming to attend!
I've heard on this blog that the people working at the convention centers pity these ambots, and easily turn down when the ambots there try to prospect them. That's amusing!
Yeah people from Europe are busting their asses to wreck their US vacation by attending some bullshit Amway conference!
DeleteI was recently lured into a welcome meeting and was intrigued enough to go. It was a weird David Lynchesque experience but I kept an open mind . . . Spent yesterday checking out the Ambot app with bells and whistles which led me to internet research, excerpts from Stephen Butterfield's book and eventually this blog. Boy, your words not only confirmed my suspicions but sent me reeling into fits of laughter. You have great insight, colorful humor and are a super writer. I think that your posts would make a good read . . . you should write a book!
ReplyDeleteThanks Redzinger. We've got a pretty good group of contributors at this blog but most time the comments end up being a whole lot better than the posts! Going to Amway meetings are a weird experience. This blog will hopefully give you some of the key words Amway ambots trick you with to get you to come to an Amway meeting so you'll be better prepared the next time. Stay away from this cult!
