Amway Love Bombers


I remember getting love bombed by members of the Amway cult when Ambot was still a devoted worshipper of the great Amway gods. If you’ve ever been in a cult you know how it goes. People who barely know you want to hug you everytime they see you. They gush about how much they love what you’re wearing, the car you’re driving, the book you’re reading, etc. If you’ve done something awe inspiring like park your car between the lines in the parking lot they rave about what a wonderful driver you are. You know all the over the top praise for pretty normal things that could only come from cult members. Pretty fucking creepy. Pretty fucking creepy sums up Amway and ambots.

 

What is love bombing? Here is a partial description from Wikipedia:

 

Critics of cults often cite love bombing as one of the features that may identify an organization as a cult. When used by critics, the phrase is defined to mean affection that is feigned or with an ulterior motive and that is used to reduce the subject's resistance to recruitment.

The term was popularized by psychology professor Margaret Singer, who has become closely identified with the love-bombing-as-brainwashing point of view. In her 1996 book, Cults in Our Midst, she described the technique:

As soon as any interest is shown by the recruits, they may be love bombed by the recruiter or other cult members. This process of feigning friendship and interest in the recruit was originally associated with one of the early youth cults, but soon it was taken up by a number of groups as part of their program for luring people in. Love bombing is a coordinated effort, usually under the direction of leadership, that involves long-term members' flooding recruits and newer members with flattery, verbal seduction, affectionate but usually nonsexual touching, and lots of attention to their every remark.

 

Love bombing - or the offer of instant companionship - is a deceptive ploy accounting for many successful recruitment drives.

 

This description is very accurate of the love bombing that goes on at Amway cult meetings.

 

These Amway phony ass “business owners” are brainwashed so they don’t realize they’re in a cult. How about a social club instead? A very expensive club because all Amway meetings are social gatherings and brainwashing sessions and it costs hundreds of dollars each month to be a member.

 

Back when I worked I attended real business meetings as opposed to the phony ass Amway pretend business meetings, whether it was in my workplace or travelling to another person’s workplace. I have never greeted anyone or been greeted by a business professional with a hug and flattering comments. A handshake yes. Maybe a compliment if I like their outfit or a painting on the wall.

 

When I showed up at the workplace I never once walked around the office greeting coworkers with hugs. Probably not a handshake either unless I was meeting someone for the first time. The only time I’ve seen or participated in coworker hugs has been at the office Christmas party or on someone’s last day of work with the company.

 

Its called being professional inside the workplace. A concept that Amway ambots don’t understand.

 

Real business people operating legitimate businesses don’t go overboard. Professional niceties is one thing.

 

Love bombing is something else. Something creepy that is. And it makes people go what the fuck is going on here. These people are unnaturally delirious about meeting everyone.

 

Seeing as how Amway IBO’s are fake business people the rules don’t apply because its a fake business meeting. So hug away is the WWDB Amway motto!

 

I mean for fuck’s sake I don’t even go around hugging friends I’ve known for years when we get together at a social gathering. Maybe. Depends on the circumstance like if its a funeral.

 

Amway love bombing. A common cult tactic. Creepy. Meet people for the first time and they all want to hug me? Like back off Amway assholes! I don’t want other people in my space I don’t know and especially people I already know and don’t like. And here its important to note that the fucking asshole that sponsored us in Amway never once tried to hug me. Bastard knew better than to fuck with me!

 

Walk into an Amway meeting held in someone’s house and everyone pounces on you and wants to hug you. Even if you’ve never talked to them before or only seen them occasionally. They are overly excited to see you and they want to touch you affectionately. All fakey affectionately. What’s really creepy is walking into a larger Amway greeting say an auditorium where a Diamond is going to show up to brainwash the masses. Everyone out in the lobby is hugging everyone else. Walk into the arena and the hugging is still going on like crazy. And the screaming and squealing as if they haven’t seen this person in years instead of last night at a Scamway meeting. And then the fake compliments and the fake attentiveness and the want to introduce you to everyone else they know so they can all hug you too. CREEPY!!!!

 

Love bombing. Instant companionship.

 

That’s what Amway is all about. Instant friends. And you’ll need new friends because once you’re inside the Amway cult you’re not supposed to associate with anyone who is not in Amway or not interested in joining up as an IBO or buying shitty overpriced Amway products.

 

Love bombing = entrance into the cult. We are all so loving and welcoming!

 

WE WANT YOUR MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

What about the fake I love what you’re wearing? Oh this old rag? Tell me about the book you’re reading. This woman’s banging three different guys and she can tire them all out. Where’d you get those beautiful shoes? Payless. I love what you’ve done with your hair. Well that’s what happens when you wash your hair before you go to bed and sleep on it wet.

 

And all the smiling and happy happy. A bunch of Chucky dolls!

 

Beware of someone you’ve just met who wants to hug the shit out of you and ply you with compliments and is overly attentive to you and has a fake smile pasted on their face the whole time.

 

Its an Amway ambot love bomber on the loose!

    1. What and you think I'm some geek that knows about these things? No one else seems to be having problems viewing this blog on their mobile devices. Maybe you better go back to who you purchased from to get help because it seems to only be isolated to your unit.

    2. Post your question at XDA-Developers, that's the holy church of things mobile.

  2. The love bombing and compliments stopped. Once they figure you'll never sign up or can't get a dime off u anymore. Told my Ambot no more silly meetings or coffee. He'll never get back the shitty book and cd he leant me. After nonstop emails and bitter emails for a few months they quit hassling

    1. Yup first its the love bombing and then when the money source dries up then its months of evil bitter insulting texts and phone calls. Like that will really motivate people to buy your overpriced shitty Amway products and sign up to your Amway cult!

  3. When we quit Amway the love bombing stopped and the real personality of those Ambots came out. We got bombed with hateful text messages. Every Amway meeting we attended we were told we were winners. We got hugged and complimented all the time. When we quit we got endless text messages that we were losers. We were quitters. We were warned to keep our negative asses away from the winners that were still going to Amway meetings. Gladly!

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.
