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 Love Trading Business Cards
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.
While all of Scamway is phony perhaps the most hilarious part of it might be the ridiculous notion of them thinking of their brainwashed sucker asses as being "Independent Business Owners". LOL! How can anybody have a successful business if his only customer is himself and maybe his mother who drops in every once in a while to buy a bar of shitty soap or something because she feels sorry for him? In reality they are not IBOs but rather DCSs. That is Dependent (on their asshole upline, looking for approval) Consumer (since nobody but them buys or uses that overpriced shit they are trying to hawk onto others) Slaves (to the fantasy that if they keep doing the same thing they will someday get a different result).
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - that's very true. The Amway cult leaders bullshitting their followers that they're "business owners". LOL!!!! Get a clue ambots. If your last name ain't DeVos or VanAndel then you don't own an Amway business! LOL! Those dumb fuck ambots can get brainwashed into believing just about everything as long as their cult leader says its so.
DeleteAnd if your only customer is yourself or your mother making pity purchases then you're a dumb fuck! LOL! Again get a clue ambots!
Amway is all about pretending and play-acting. That's their big motto: "Fake it till you make it!" This translates into self-destructive behavior, like going wildly into debt just to put on the show of being rich, when in fact you can't pay your electric bill, or make a mortgage payment.
ReplyDeleteThe Amway business cards are a prime example of fakery and self-deception. Silly persons think that if you can hand out a card to people with your name and "title" printed on it, this proves that you have a genuine identity, and that you are a big-time "achiever."
It doesn't prove anything of the sort. All it proves is that you have a computer, or that you can afford to pay a job-lot printer to run off a thousand small cards for you.
The fact that Amway encourages IBOs to choose a name for their business is very telling. They don't want you to mention that your "business" is Amway! Amway's name now carries the toxicity of association with scams, frauds, cheats, and rip-offs. So an IBO would be committing financial suicide if he printed "Amway" on his business cards. Better to call your operation "Reach For The Skies Enterprises," or "Excelsior Products" or "Top-Flight Opportunities" or whatever pretentious bullshit name you think sounds impressive.
Isn't this what Dexter Yager did with "World-Wide Dream Builders"? He's smart enough to downplay the Amway connection. But it's not just Amway. Business does this all the time: change the name so that you can hide an unpleasant reality. Don't sell used cars -- sell "pre-owned cars." Don't admit to cheapening the quality of your product -- call it "widening your customer base."
With Amway, you don't call it for what it is: hemorrhaging money in a no-win MLM scam. You call it "building your dream." The whole thing would be a joke if it weren't such a tragedy for hundreds of families caught up in it.
Anonymous - those are all good points and yup Amway is all about playing pretend.
DeleteExcept when the debt and the empty bank accounts catch up with you then its not so pretend any more.
Yeah and I mean really you can put just about anything you want on a business card whether or not its true and that goes for just about most IDs out there too. Surprised Ambots aren't doing a sideline business doing just that.
Calling yourself a "business owner" without a fundamental business plan is clearly a joke.
ReplyDeleteAlso a "business owner" makes his own judgment and makes decisions based on the judgment he makes. He/She does not make any decision on an advice of someone who has no fundamental business advice and instead gives an advice that is questionable, clear cut unethical and destructive, false and etc.
If any of these happens, then a "independent business owner" is better suited to a "puppet business owner" (PBO).
Anonymous - that's so true. Depending on the business you might get away without a business plan at least in the beginning. But eventually you're going to have to spend more time working out different aspects that are covered in a business plan such as marketing. A skill ambots don't have unless it means sniping prospects at Safeway or Barnes & Noble.
DeletePBO. Yup sounds about right for Ambots.
Now that you mention it Anna the loser who tried to sucker me into scamway (with no success thank you very much) gave me a card. His name was Robert and his wife's name Susan. The card id'd him as 'President' of 'R & S Enterprises' and no mention of Amway. What I joke! Still makes me laugh many years later...
ReplyDeleteLOL how original using their initials NOT! LOL! You should have asked to see the paperwork they'd legally registered their business name with the state. Like we need any further proof Ambots are a bunch of dumb shits.
DeleteMy cousin's business card when he was in Amway had the following acronym on it:
ReplyDeleteM.Y.A.T.T.
This stood for "Meet You At The Top." My wife and I still joke about the ridiculousness of it.
Anonymous - LOL. Hanging out on the bottom is more like it! But I'm sure your cousin thought he was being very clever and all the ambots probably gushed about his business name like he was a nobel prize winner or something! LOL!
