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 Ambots Obsessed With Doom & Gloom
9 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.
Is this the same upline scumbag. Who makes your hubby buy coffee and food at fast food or Starbucks. One of my platinum meetings where held at the basement of a Wendy's fast food. The place was such a dive. But these people claiming high income often can't afford a baked potato at Wendy's. They all look at me eat and I refused to loan them.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - its the same upline scumbag. He's being chasing the Monavie dream since Amway fired him a couple of years ago. Different scam but you can be sure he's pulling the same bullshit making someone else who probably has a decent income buy his meals wherever they're meeting up. An Amway meeting at the basement of Wendy's! Holy shit! I bet that wasn't authorized! I was in a Wendy's years ago picking up a friend who worked there but there was no basement. I remember asking about where the stored their supplies and it was all on the same floor.
DeleteThe basement store room/meeting room had two meetings a week.No its not authorized. If management was in the scam they'd certainly give the begged ibo leader free food. The meetings went on for a number of years. I use to pop my head in but meetings had same faces. Never any new people and felt like a social gathering
DeleteAnonymous - I'd think any business with a basement storage room area would be pretty dingy. No windows because its below street level. You got to wonder how Wendy's corporate headquarters would feel about a scam cult holding secret meetings at one of their restaurants. I think a few more ambots would be out of a J.O.B.
DeleteThey'd be out of job but most ambots don't seem to care. They show up with a shit attitude to work. Thinking within 2-5 years they'll be home free.
Delete> Like everyone else he and his wife saved up for a down payment, applied for a mortgage, and moved in.
ReplyDeleteI'll bet you a bottle of Amway water this is how it went:
Ambot has no down payment and loads of credit card debt. They hit up his parents for cash to pay off the credit cards, so his credit score looks good. They hit up her parents for the down payment, because they don't want their little baby living in a van down by the river.
Now they buy the house, and both sets of parents have taken a serious hit on their retirement funds. Neither gets paid back, and end up working till they're 70 before they can afford to retire.
The Amway fallout spreads far beyond the IBO.

PS. To potential Ambots: take that $500+ per month Amway expense and put it into a retirement account. If you're under 30, you'll be sitting pretty in 35 years.
Hi AnonTB. There are parents out there who are able to help out with their kids purchase new home, either put in the down payment or cosign without expectation of being repaid. I have no idea how it went down in this case but I'm pretty sure there was family assistance on one or both sides to buy this house. I mean they'd need help because they throw all their money away at the Amway scam and pretend to be big shot Amway Ambots.
DeleteYou are very right. That $500+/month can go to a retirement account or even be a mortgage payment. Either way you own something that's worth something. Beats the hell out of stockpiling shitty overpriced Amway products. Boxes of SA8 and Nutrilite vitamins that cost $500+/month sitting in the garage ain't worth shit if you need to liquidate your assets.
There's only one good thing that came out of my wife and I getting into WWDB, and that is that we needed to come up with and live on an EXTREMELY tight budget in order to afford the tools, transportation, functions, and monthly ditto orders. Once we finally wised up and quit we decided to stick to the tight budget and now we're pumping nearly $1000 a month into savings. Before Amway we went out and spent hundreds of dollars a week on food and entertainment that really was completely unnecessary. Now when we decide to do those things it's much more rare, and we truly enjoy the experience instead of it just being another Tuesday night at the steakhouse. If we can keep this up we might end up buying that house in cash far before any of our uplines can.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - that's a good plan. Take that $1000/month you'd be pumping into Amway and put it into your savings instead. And you've got a goal to buy a house. Don't get obsessed with the Amspeak bullshit about buying a house with cash. Those Amway liars aren't buying houses with cash either. You can't have a bank foreclose on you unless you took out a mortgage. Put a good down payment on a house and mortgage the rest. Better a Tuesday night at the steakhouse instead of a wasted Tuesday night at an Amway cult meeting.
