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 Asshole of the Week, Simba
17 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.
Interesting Ambot comments, talking about people hiding behind a pseudonym, coming from someone who calls himself Simba. LOL. And "parents who travel with you"? Would that be going with the Ambot parent who nurses along the Ambot junkmobile with baling wire, bubble gum and prayers to the Amway Cult God to the fleabag hotel parking lot in whatever town the brainwashing Amway cult function is being held, or staying behind with the non Ambot parent in the home
ReplyDeleteand hoping the sheriffs deputies don't come today with the eviction papers because your Ambot parent is six months behind on rent or mortgage payments to pay for the closets full of useless Amway shit?
Or having amazing people in their lives like the Ambot upline assholes who berate you for paying your bills when you could be buying more overpriced useless Amway shit with your money instead. And of course help third world countries by ripping their people off because the people in your own country have become wise to your dishonest ways as well as having free time to write books after going to every cult function on top of working 40 hours a week at your job that supports your Amway habit.
Oh yes, to buy you the things you needed, like Amway XS cat piss water and soap and such. And turning to forgiveness, of your own poor downline suckers after they have forked over their last dollar to you, until they cash their next paycheck from their job. And becoming better people, by being an Amway asshole.
And last but not least, quality time being face to face and talking, in the local Borders book store or McDonalds, trolling the crowd looking for someone who looks like they might be dumb enough to listen to this pitch about this "this thing you do for extra money".
Ray - and Simba was actually a Google log in name. Not that I was interested enough to click on the profile cause I knew I'd read a bunch of Amspeak bullshit but whatever. No big deal. It's the message these Amway asshole have where they lie and bullshit that is more interesting than whatever name they choose.
DeleteYeah very true living an Amway Ambot life in fear that eviction is nearby because they took the advice of the assholes in their Amway upline to skip the mortgage or rent and use the money instead to buy more shitty overpriced Amway products or attend a Scamway function or otherwise tithe the Great Amway God.
Yup I'm sure you've described Simba's life to a T. No matter how much he'll try to convince you that "business is going great".
One way to spot an ambot child is kind of grammar they use.
ReplyDeleteThat's one way to spot an Amway employee for sure!
DeleteI remembered when an upline tried to prospect me, he talked some marketing literature about "eliminating" middle men.
ReplyDeleteSo I asked the upline: Wait, are you creating middle men since you are recruiting?
Upline: No, I am a business owner (IBO)
Me: So, why do you talk about recruiting people when at the same breath, you talked about eliminating middle men? You are creating middle men.
Upline: (showing evasive mannerism) You will not understand until you sign up.
Me: Nah! Why do I even bother?!
lol Yes, Ambot doublespeak. They'll say anything to reel in a new victim. Obviously if he recruits you to come on board and then go out and recruit others, that will be lots of "middle men" between him and the user of the product.
DeleteBut, of course, that is just the thing. Those they recruit to join the "business" are, in fact, the CUSTOMERS, not "business owners". Since they end up being the ones buying the products, because those not involved in the cult don't want to pay ridiculous prices for generic products.
Anonymous - yeah we heard that bullshit at Amway cult meetings too that it was all about cutting out the middleman. Well what do they think Ambots are? The Middleman! They're commissioned sales. If Amway was so wonderful they wouldn't need Ambot middlemen and customers could come directly to their website to buy their overpriced shitty products. But seeing as how Amway sells overpriced shit they'd never get any customers so that's why the whole bullshit IBO came to be the middleman.
DeleteAnd yes 2nd Anonymous - the Ambot IBO middlemen are customers. They're shitty commissioned salespeople at the same time. Less than 5% of Amway's sales are to people who are not IBO's so that why Amway needs these middlemen. I'm sure we had a post about that somewhere around here. Amway Middlemen. Or maybe it was just a dream. Scratch that. Nightmare.
DeleteIBOFB would be a perpetual winner of this award. LOL
ReplyDeleteJoecool - LOL! More like the perpetual winner of Amway asshole of the DAY - everyday!
DeleteShane - you might have better luck spamming a diet blog than a blog that's all about picking on a scam company.
ReplyDeleteYou want some eggs with your spam there shane? Or maybe coffee. Staying up late spamming blogs and didn't realize you were a drive by spamming a couple of hours earlier.
ReplyDeleteJust look at the way this guy "Simba" talks. He barely mentions making money or running a successful business. All he can gas on about is "forgiveness," and "overcoming trauma," and "becoming better people," and "rebuilding marriages," and similar bullshit. What is this guy -- a fucking social worker?
ReplyDeleteA business is a BUSINESS, Simba! It's about making enough money to pay your bills and live a life! Are you too damned dense to understand that Amway isn't going to give you that?
Well, maybe you're happy just spouting social-worker platitudes while you make around $100 dollars a month.
Anonymous - exactly! He's coming across like he's a social worker or the do-good fairy.
DeleteAnd that's the thing about Amway meetings. They tried to distract the ambots from thinking about all the money they're losing by spouting off bullshit that even if you don't make money you'll be a better person or a nicer person or some dumb fuck similar saying. And yeah how do you pay your bills if you're a nice person with no income? People start a business to make money not for any philosophical pursuits.
And I doubt he's making anywhere close to $100/month. He'd be in like the top quarter of 1% off IBO's if he was making big bucks in Amway like that.
The Amway E Spring filter is so expensive that I am gobsmacked when my mum spends my dad's money on it, in New Zealand it costs $328 just for the E Spring filter, $328 in New Zealand can get you 4 weeks worth of food
ReplyDeleteHi Mr_Alex - gobsmacked!? Now there's a word I don't hear everyday! Yeah $328 would buy a month's worth of groceries here too. But if you're in Amway the upline would chastise you and say that same $328 is worth about 100PV in Amway products so buy them instead and that way you qualify for commission from Amway - $10. Now that'll put a lot of groceries on the table. Sorry to hear about your mum. And it seems to be a bit of an unsettling recent trend about women instead of men who are the Ambots.
DeleteHey Jaxon were you just here yesterday posting as shane?
