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!

The American Dream Ain't Amway
6 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.
Anna, that post is eloquent.
ReplyDeleteYou're absolutely right about the American Dream. It was never meant to be grandiose and vulgar, the way Ambots describe it. It was fairly simple and unpretentious: own your own home, have a few nice things, give your kids the best education possible, take a vacation now and then, put money aside into savings and investments. It was a sane and sensible dream that was well within the reach of many persons.
Amway is a total perversion of that simple dream. It urges you (hell, ORDERS you) to think in a greed-driven exaggerated fashion. Yachts, private jets, expensive cars, mansions, long walks on exotic beaches (what is it, by the way, with Ambots and those beach walks? Do they get off on sand or something?)
Ironically, by brainwashing folks to have this sort of unrealistic fake dream, Amway prevents them from fulfilling the possible and realistic dream of the past. You CAN have a nice home and the other simple things mentioned above. But if you devote your energy and time to the Amway con-game you'll never be able to afford them at all! You'll just make your up-line diamond rich. You'll go to imbecilic rallies where Crown Ambassador Assholes-in-Chief will scream about how many fancy cars you'll own, how many mansions you'll have, how many servants you'll have, and how "financially independent" you'll be. But for 99% of the people who are tricked into Amway, none of this will happen at all. Instead, they'll lose their chance for the realistic American Dream of the past.
Amway scum talk disparagingly about "dream-stealers," meaning anybody who dares to criticize the Amway con-game and racket. But Amway is the biggest dream-stealer of them all. It destroys the possibility of an actual and realistic dream for the deluded people who sign up to be IBOs.
Anna, you are really kicking ass! Keep up the good work, girl. The Ambots are steaming mad, even though they are refusing to acknowledge your trenchant criticisms.
Hi Anonymous. Thanks for you eloquent coment!
DeleteThe American dream isn't too different for so many people. Then you get Amway the Cult of Greed who tell you to dream big for better material possessions than the other guy.
With Columbus Day coming up here we have a guy who didn't even know he had the America dream!
Glad you're enjoying the blog. Yup part of our job here is to piss off Amway Ambots.
Good comment, Anonymous.
DeleteAnd that is what strikes me the most when hearing so many horror stories of how Amway ruined lives. People who already had a good life... a home, family and vacations, comfortable living, nest egg in the bank, friends. And then Amway comes along and gets into their head and makes them think it's not enough. That they need to dream BIGGER. And in the process they get dragged into the Amway scam, lose the money they had, lose friends and family with their brainwashed arrogance of anyone who doesn't "support" their Amway drug habit must be sneered at, often lose their homes and end up the real broke losers.
Amway, like most MLM's, are disguised pyramid schemes, and like with any pyramid scheme only a small few at the top earn the kind of money they brag that "anyone can". Lies and deceit to enrich a tiny few. That's their idea of the "American Dream".
Well said Anonymous!
DeleteAnna Banana,
ReplyDeleteI came across your blog by researching Amway. Yes, I am one of the sorry souls that almost got suckered in!!
You are HILARIOUS!! I can't stop reading your blogs, not because I'm still interested in becoming an Ambot, but because I'm literally in tears!!
I think you should write a book or at least have your blog narrated on YouTube!! You may end up making more money than your Ambot husband ever did with Scamway!
Hi Thatwasclose! Thanks for your kind words and glad you're loving the blog. We knew we has to do something different and entertain as well as educate about the Amway hell hole. We fo this by cursing out Amway ambots and treating them like they treat the rest of the world. The irony is lost on their brainwashed minds. Glad to hear you dodged the Amway bullet. We're not about making money here, just warning others about the financial and emotional distress if you get sucked into the Amway cult. Ambots will stop by and bitch at us but do they ever stop to think who's trying to make money off them? Bloggers or their cult leaders.
DeleteKeep on reading! Thanks.
