OMG!!!
I can't believe Amway is still the same as it was 30 years ago.
My
girlfriend was on her side it was hard to quit; especially, since I
lived with them after my parent moved to FLA. Where was i going go?
For most of that year, I practically handed over all my hard-earned
money from my full time job until I moved out.
I
quit after a half year, but I was not off the hook. My girlfriend
made me buy products and renew my membership when it expired. I had
to raise all Hell before I quit and keep my hard-earned money. It was
a constant Hell. My girlfriend would never call me a loser (which is
what you're supposed to call those that don't follow through), but
she was Pissed and blamed me for ruining her mother's business for
quitting.
I
was on her mother's SHITLIST right away and she got all the meaner.
Why did I quit? Main reason was they command that you "burn your
bridges". This means you tell everyone you're going to get rich
from Amway, and you treat family members like SHIT and everyone else
who doesn't join. This way it would be hard to quit, because you'll
only look like a fool (and worse than that, like a loser to Amway
members).
Another
reason was you're told that the Bible teaches that "if your take
on a task and you look back, you're not worthy of the Kingdom of
God". And I didn't want to be on God's wrong side, I though.
The
reason current members cannot quit is because of the pain of having
to confront family members they blew off, and of looking like a
failure before their former friends.
I
could never bring myself to treat my family members like SHIT for NO
ONE and i was made to feel like a failure for my inability to do this
when i quit.
I
eventually I moved to FLA with my parents, and I sent for my
girlfriend because we had a child together. However, for a long time
she continued to be a Bitch about me leaving Amway. While in FLA she
forgot about Amway after a while. We married later and been married
for 25 years.
I
bring this disaster up every so often, and have yet to hear my wife
say that they were wrong about Amway (maybe out of embarrassment).
Three years after her mother joined, they had to sell their house and
I bet it the reason was because they used their house as collateral
for Amway, and mortgage got to expensive. They lived in hotels for 6
months with 9 of their children and almost ended up in the streets
had I not taken them in. Two of her children went on drugs. Thirty
years later, she has recently gone back to church but is having a
hard time getting her children back in church.
I
have a good relationship with her and I love her to death but
sometimes I still remember what a Bitch she was to me and I still get
pissed. Some members are probably going through damage control;
meaning they know they are "beating a dead horse" for
continuing in Amway because the pain of facing your “burned
bridges” is a bitch. I'm glad I didn't let it mess my family and
relationships, but I still feel the after-shocks of angry memories.

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.
