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 Destroyed My Mortgage
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.
Thing with these people who lose their house or max their credit card. If its not Amway it'll be some other scam they'd lose their money with. That's why after quitting Amway. They'd join companies like monavie. I baught zero tools while being with Amway wwdb. My diamond continue to help us with board plans. What is he going to do? Ban us from the house meetings for not buying tools?
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - there's all kinds of reasons why people lose their houses and max their credit cards but this blog is all about putting up with the assholes in your Amway upline and taking their shitty financial advice. And yeah you're right some would go on to another scam to lose money with just like Monavie. Our sack of shit Platinum got fired from Amway about a year and a half ago and defected to Monavie taking a lot of his downline with him and the ones that are still in it are flogging that scam because they're convinced Monavie is a MUCH better company than Amway, the answer to their greedy endeavors to get RICH. You're lucky your Diamond continues to help you and is following what Amway's literature says that purchasing tools is voluntary and the upline is still required to work with you even if you don't buy them. In our case and in the case of most people who leave comments on this blog and other blogs the assholes in their Amway upline choose to break Amway's rules and say if you don't buy the tools then they won't work with you. And we're all stuck with tons of shitty CD's, books, and spent hundreds if not thousands of dollars buying tickets to Amway functions to make the assholes in the upline richer. So yes, banning ambots from meetings for not buying tools is very common for people stuck inside the Amway scam. In fact I tried to persuade my husband not to buy the tools so that we would be banned from going to the meetings and those fuckers wouldn't have anything to do with us!
DeleteAnna,we where struggling trade school students and made it clear we won't buy any tools if we signed up. My diamond edc was Dan yuen wwdb and he didn't like dealing with us. But the ones who where on communkicate . Would tell us where the house meeting where. So if we had a prospect or just wanted to watch him draw the plan we'd just show up. Without tools or functions we did OK and has a group of 50. Guess were more of a hassle for a diamond if the Ibo's baught no tools
ReplyDeleteAnonymous – they all do that with Communikate, hold last minute meetings only sent out to those who’ve subscribed to Communikate, that way the cult leaders know who is paying the monthly fee for the service. A former Communikate employee showed up here to tell us how much commission the Diamonds make when their followers sign up for Communikate. Yeah it must really piss off the Diamonds when others who have Communikate just give out the information for free where the top secret Amway meetings are.
DeleteMy diamond IBOs are Hemant and Smitha. I have established a team of 45 and have never been taught to make risky financial decisions like mortgage off our home and never intend to extend that advice to our fellow IBOs. Why? We believe in having some sort of financial stability when creating an asset. I do admit a very select few would go to great lengths and do risky things like this to close all back doors and feel like they have chosen entrepeneurship. I feel like when IBOs do something out of the ordinary like This, I can tell they are not in constant communication with their working coaches. I do believe sacrifices should be made like cutting down TV and video game time to invest in self-education via books and audios. I can see why Amway can be viewed as a cult but there are many different educational systems which people operate from. It's like saying "I had a bad experience with my gym and therefore all gyms are like this". Amway is merely a product and services company - what people choose to do with it is an individual representation. Unfortunately I have heard of other Amway IBOs from different organisations who emphasise hard selling. But don't let some bad eggs spoil it for everyone else. So far I'm yet to meet someone who has mortgaged off their home and I've been in this business for 2 years. God bless you and have a lovely day! Regards, Ravi.
ReplyDeleteRavi - you don't think a "business opportunity" with over 99% failure rate is a risky financial decision? LOL! That's not my number. That's the number in the small print on Amway's brochures!
DeleteWhy should people sacrifice things they enjoy such as TV or video games just because some fucking asshole in the Amway upline doesn't give them permission to do it? Like we need any more proof that Amway is a fucking cult?
Ravi are you really so fucking stupid to think that people who sign up to the Amway cult are "entrepreneurs" are you? Entrepreneurs are people who have created a product or a service and sell it to real people. If you sell a product or service that someone else has created, like say your boss created it, then that makes you a sales rep for that person's products or services. Look up the definition of entrepreneur before you make a fucking asshole out of yourself. LOL! Amway Ambots are sales reps selling products that were created or commissioned to be created by entrepreneurs who have the last name of DeVos or VanAndel and sell them under the Amway or Alticor or Quixtar, etc name. Any Amway Ambot who calls themselves an entrepreneur is a fucking loser!
Anna you bring up some valid points, I was a member of Amway in the 90's, I learned a lot from this experience positive and negatives. I cannot argue your stance on this issue, but it would have more credence if you where able to voice it in a more civilized manner. It comes across as straight hatred and it's hard to make a valid point with that much emotion involved.
ReplyDeleteUnknown - so you're saying it's not OK to hate companies and people who are pure shit evil and destroy lives and cause others financial and emotional distress?
DeleteThis blog has millions of views. I'd think that'd be credence enough that what we're doing here is popular. Cursing out fucking Amway assholes is the name of the game. Around here we entertain as well as educate and it seems to be working out pretty well.

ReplyDeleteYou don't understand the function of forensic rhetoric. Its task is to attack the enemy fiercely and to ridicule and insult him. Being nice and polite gets you nowhere when dealing with something sick and corrupt like Amway.
This blog by Anna Banana is read EVERY SINGLE DAY by the Amway people in Ada, Michigan. Do you think they would pay the slightest attention to it if it were composed in meek, mild, and civilized tones? Get real, buddy.
Amway is SCARED of this blog! They tell their IBOs not to read it! They are infuriated that thousands of potential recruits have been warned to avoid Amway by this blog! They are chagrined by the fact that so many horror stories about Amway are published here every week!
Is it "straight hatred"? It sure is, pal! We HATE Amway and we are going to bring it down. If you've got a problem with that, don't come here.
Hi Anonymous. Unknown may have been in Amway in the 90s. And he probably still is today. Or thinking of joining the Amway cult again.
DeleteThe guy's on his Android and yes I'm going with the guy theory because of their preoccupation with negative, goes to the trouble of changing his blogger profile and then typing out a message on a 3 and a half year old post. Most people who aren't in Amway aren't messing around looking for it on their Smart Phones and if they were probably wouldn't take the time to type out a response to a blog. Most people would move on and not leave a response they have to type on a phone. Most people would use a computer with a larger keyboard, easier to type.
And yes! Let's bring Amway down!
