Here’s what a night of hell was for me when we were in the Amway cult.
Our organization was WWDB - World Wide Destructive Bastards. Our upline held meetings at least 3 times a week to tell lies about the Amway business and work on destroying marriages and families. Our cult leader started the Amway meetings around 8pm sometimes at his house or mostly at another IBO's house usually someone in our direct line though occasionally crossline.
Even though the cult meetings started at 8pm the Platinum told everyone that “serious business builders” always arrived at least an hour early, therefore my ambot had us arriving closer to 7pm. And how the hell would the Platinum know which cult followers showed up at 7 anyway because he wasn’t there? That would be because he has little ambot spies. Not always the person who lived at the residence where the meeting was held. You never knew who the spy was. Usually the Platinum’s henchman is the spy but not always if he wasn’t there. Sometimes the cult leader had him running other errands. So I’d say the spy was usually the fucking asshole who sponsored our sponsor - little slimy cocksucking son of a bitch that he is.
Prior to the main cult meeting, the Platinum usually held private meetings with ambots at a coffee shop where he goes over their budget, their phone list, or just generally ride their asses about how they could be doing better in “the business”. If the man was married the Platinum would convince them the reason they aren’t going anywhere in the Amway business is because of their wife and tell them the only way to succeed in Amway is if they leave their wife.
At the coffee shop counselling sessions the sack of shit Platinum expected one of the cult followers to purchase something for him to eat and drink and then drive him to the Amway meeting. However if they arrived at the house and no one of at least 1000 pin level was standing on the street to greet him, the driver had to circle the block a few times until someone who appreciated him showed up on the street. Need to show the cult leader a little more love! Fucking arrogant prick.
So 8ish start. There are usually 10 to 15 IBOs at each meeting always the same people hearing the same bullshit they heard the night before at the last Amway cult meeting. Occasionally an ambot has hijacked a prospect to attend. The Platinum spends an hour talking about himself and his life - pompous sack of shit loves the sound of his own voice.
After an hour of bullshit the cult leader might say what he does for a business - ecommerce, runs an online business - but mostly a bunch of double talk for a good 15 minutes to half an hour because he gets distracted and goes off in a tangent. After the double talk he finally mentions the dreaded “A” word. Its like a swear word that can’t be said too often in front of this pack of goody 2 shoes. AMWAY! He starts using flash cards to present the Amway business plan. Basically eat, drink, and duplicate. Find enough people who do this and you can earn $300,000 a year.
This drags on for around 3 hours because the Platinum keeps getting sidetracked and goes off on various rants usually something negative happening in the news. The sack of shit loves spreading negativity thinking he can scare his ambots into compliance.
Its now 11pm and I want to go home, go to a bar, go to an all night folk music festival, anywhere but listening to the sack of shit Amway cult leader.
But it ain’t over yet! The “teaching” portion of the Amway cult leading begins after a short break so any guests or anyone who’s not a “serious business builder” can go home. If I can convince someone to give Ambot a ride home, I am outta there!
Unfortunately I’ve stayed for more than my share of Amway cult teachings. These meetings last another hour or two. Very typical for Amway cult meetings to last well past Midnight. The more tired the cult followers are the easier it is for the cult leader to brainwash their minds. Usually now is when the sack of shit Platinum rips into people about what changes they plan to make in their lives. “Oh yeah. I’m going to get divorced because you told me that’s the only way to succeed in the Amway business.” The sack of shit will criticize how the ambots dress, the car they drive, their haircut, the people they hang out with, etc. Mostly he criticizes the group for not sponsoring anyone or bringing prospects to meetings. He’ll talk about the movers and shakers in his downline and sing their praises for the rest of the meeting gabbing on about how those are the people going Platinum, going Diamond. Next month! Within 3 months for sure! Including him. Bypass Emerald and go Diamond!
Not so far! Mainly because they all defected to Monavie and its unknown what the latest MLM scam is they’re currently flogging. The main point is most ambots are stuck at the same level or dropped. Its hard to motivate people to keep buying Amway products and investing in the tool scam once the credit card is maxed out.
No “teaching”. Lots of rants. That pretty much sums up the Amway meetings.
The really sad and scary thing about Amway is that although it seems to be a "business" that is concerned with making money, it is in fact something much more sinister than that.
ReplyDeleteAmway is about changing your life, your thinking, your belief-system, your priorities, and your values. Amway wants you to go through a transformation that turns you into a robotic android, fixated on obedience to up-line. And Amway wants you to CONFORM, CONFORM, CONFORM!
Any little individualistic trait or idiosyncrasy in a person is ruthlessly crushed and eradicated. You have to dress a certain way. You have to talk a certain way. You have to think a certain way. You have to react a certain way. You even have to be married to a certain type of person.
They never tell you this at one of those recruitment meetings. You only find out about it after you're trapped.
Anonymous - sinister is an excellent description of Amway.
DeleteEverything you've said belongs to Amway the Cult of Greed.
It's like who has more control over your life. Your Amway cult leader or your boss at work.
Amway ambots should think about that one before they go around sneering at people who have jobs instead of signing up to the Amway cult to be a low paid no paid commissioned salesperson.
Wanting to have a lot of silly meetings is a very bad sign. It either means that nothing significant is going on, or that someone is desperate to control your life and behavior.
ReplyDeleteThe former chair at the university where I teach used to hold exactly ONE faculty meeting per year, and he made sure that it lasted precisely for one half hour, no more. When the half hour was up, he'd say to us "That's it, folks. See you next year."
He said to me, "You kill a lot of crap in the cradle when you do this."
Our department ran blissfully when he was in charge.
Anonymous - and the silly meetings are all repeats of the last nights meeting and throne before that and so on backwards in time.
DeleteIt's all about the Amway cult leaders controlling the Ambots and they must attend all Amway cult meetings or they'll catch shit later.
You know there's nothing I heard at an Amway meeting that couldn't have been sped up to finish in half an hour. But the extra couple of hours or more is all about the brainwashing.
