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!

Should We Mention Being Amway Business Owner on Linkedin?
4 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.
Have there been any recent changes made to the Amway business model due to the FTC / Herbalife ruling? I wonder if DeVos and VanAndel are planning any changes.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - I doubt it. Amway and Ambots are pretty comfortable breaking the law. It's kind of like speeding. You speed 1200 times and then the cop catches you and fines you $200 but look at how much you got away with before getting caught. Some of the bloggers that write more about the business end of things might know like the American dream made nightmare.
DeleteAmway is allergic to the internet, so they probably don't want IBOs using social media like Linkedin to tell the world about their connection to the Amway fraud.
ReplyDeleteBack in 1970, Amway would forbid IBOs (called "distributors" back then) from even having personal business cards printed with the words "Amway Distributor" on them. De Vos and Van Andel were paranoid about this, for some reason.
Amway likes to keep a lot about itself hidden under a rock. Which is where Amway belongs.
Anonymous - that's interesting where the owners said you can't say Amway distributor on the business cards. Fast forward 40 years and no current Ambot wants to put the word Amway on their business cards because it'll chase away clients. We have a post around here that talks about Amway business cards. The Ambot makes up a name that they probably didn't pay money for to legally register. But then its just a pretend business so you can put any pretend name on the card. And then a phony ass title that pumps them up like President or CEO.
DeleteYup Amway belongs under a rock.
