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!

Reverse Amway Duplication
13 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.
Dear Anna --
ReplyDeleteI think your point is well taken. The female opinion of Amway was missing for a long time, and you have provided space for it. I notice that upset and desperate women whose husbands or boyfriends have gotten snared by Amway often come here to complain and ask for advice. They don't usually do that at the other anti-Amway blogs.
The blogs of John Doe and David Brear are excellent, but they tend to be highly intellectualized and rarified at times. I read them regularly, but they simply aren't as much fun as Anna Banana's! Joe Cool's blog is indispensable and I never miss it, but it is a bit repetitive at times, and Joe seems to be a naturally polite and well-bred person who tends to pull his punches. He never loses his temper.
Your blog, on the other hand, is feisty and visceral! It's like being in a knife fight in a dark alley! You never censor anybody, and you chew out Ambots the way a drill sergeant chews out new recruits.
All the anti-Amway blogs are necessary and good, and I love them all. But in my opinion yours is the one that is really having a major effect. By expressing honest rage against the slimy creeps in Amway, and calling them out for their lies and arrogance, you say what thousands of frustrated IBOs and their family members are feeling and thinking. And in battle, it's crucial to keep up the morale of your soldiers. And a powerful tool for doing that is getting them to hate the enemy, and not he afraid to go after the enemy's jugular.
Keep slugging, Anna. We are all fiercely loyal to you.
Hey thanks Anonymous! A few years ago there were only a handful of blogs about Amway. So whenever a new blog came along everyone would jump over and check it out and leave comments. There was a woman writing about Amway. She had just signed up conned in by the usual bullshit about making a better life for herself. She only wrote a few blogs and she had her doubts and noticed the creepiness of Amway meetings. One day she was gone. I guess she figured out she got scammed and quit Amway and took down the blog. There was a guy who had a blog a few years ago and he was funny especially in some of his responses to Ambots who left comments. Then one day he was gone too. People lose interest and move on.
DeleteJoe Cool is great and a big help to driving traffic here when this blog started. John Doe is doing a wonderful job. David Brear used to contribute a lot to an Amway blog called Corporate Frauds Watch before starting up his own blog, and he spent some time commenting here too. Everyone has a different angle.
Actually we've had to censor people but these are the same people who have gotten banned at every Amway blog out there. A new one comes on the scene and they show up and leave comments until they get banned there too. There used to be a blogger named Tex who was banned from just about every blog and after a few months suffered the same fate here. He thought Amway was a good idea but not the Amway tool scam and he liked Amway products so you just couldn't figure him out. He was suing Amway and I guess as part of his settlement he had to take down his blog. So he's disappeared. But he used to show up here and call all of us idiots and then try to get us onboard with his lawsuit. I think he had the major hots for me and is the reason why I decided to remove the email address from the contacts. Creepy. Then there's this motherfucker IBOFB who was cyberstalking and hacking one of this blog's bananas. And the police are involved and there's visitor tracking and for safety we took a vote and stopped allowing his comments to come through. Ironically the victim was OK with him keeping commenting here but majority vote rules and someone else monitors the blog comments so that banana has the final say so and what gets approved! That's the thing with these Amway bastards. They think just because they're in Amway they can go around breaking the law to prove their love and devotion to the Great Amway God and that they're above the law. And when they get arrested Amway's not going to bail them out. Amway's position is they're not responsible for the actions of their employees. Personally I wouldn't fuck with someone who has no problem getting cops and lawyers involved but then I'm not a low IQ Amway loser. And then there's Kwong Wong Little Dong who qualified to be in Amway due to his inability to string a sentence together. That troll was just fucking annoying. I have no idea if other bloggers have banned that fucker too or if he was only infatuated with this blog. But you got to know if someone is getting banned from just about every blog out there there's a reason for it. Mostly because you're a troublemaking fucking piece of shit.
We used to have a lot more fucked up Amway losers showing up here violating what their cult leaders say about staying away from blogs like this. They're always fun to chew out. All I have to do is imagine I'm aiming the comments at the slimy scamming fucking asshole that recruited us into Amway! LOL! Fucktard!
There were a bunch of really great commenters here after the blog started. I really miss hearing from Cassette Tape another woman married to an Ambot who could sling it at Ambots too. But you know people move on and they no longer need things in their life and I wish them all the best at living a happy Amwayless life.
And likewise, we are all fiercely loyal to our readers and getting the word out what it's really like when Amway invades your life.
Yes Anna thank for this blog I love them all equally but this is the one where I get to say Fuck Off Amway. I don't miss my ex ambot and I'm relieved not to have to deal with any of that revolting shit and those desperate weirdos. But still. Fuck. Off. Amway.
ReplyDeleteHi Lorikeets. Thanks for reading. And yup this is the place to be if you want to say fuck off to Amway or any fucking Amway losers! Revolting is a good way to describe all things Amway and getting away from those Amway weirdos is like a huge weight being lifted off your back. Fuck off Amway!
DeleteHi Anna:
ReplyDeleteI decided to drop by to see what was going on, after having dropped out of reading your blog for a while. Still living a happy Amwayless life!
You mentioned Tex in you reply to Annonymous. He tried to get me to join him in his lawsuit while I was a more active commenter. He did seem to disappear into nowhere. Wonder what happened...Thanx for your blog which informs people about the perils of Amway.
Hi David. Nice to see you again. And that you're living a happy Amwayless life! Good to hear!
DeleteYou know how everyone in Amway is obnoxious to the rest of the world who aren't in their cult. And then this blog slings it back to them by being obnoxious to everyone in Amway. And then there's Tex who was obnoxious to everyone. When you're trying to get people to join your cause which was a good one, but you're an obnoxious jerk to everyone its tough to get support. Have no idea what happened because I had no contact with him outside the comments on this blog but its my guess as part of the settlement he had to remove his blog and stop commenting on others. The old Amway keep everything hush hush treatment.
Actually Tex still has a blog an I see him commenting occasionally on certain venues although he's not as visible as he once was.
ReplyDeleteIBOFB has disappeared and his own blog is dead. No new articles and no new comments in a long long time.
Every so often, a new IBO will drop by my blog and give us the same rhetoric that I've heard so many time. I'll hear "our group isn't like that" or that Amway is different. Then they come out comparing Amway to the gym and stating that 95% of small businesses fail within a year. All the same old tired defenses of Amway.
You'd think those brilliant uplines could come up with some original material after all these years?
Hi Joecool, that's surprising about Tex and a blog. Someone left a comment and I don't remember if it was on this blog or maybe yours that Tex had shut down his blog and this was after the Amway lawsuit. I even double checked and it was gone. But maybe he just took it down for awhile.
DeleteOh yeah the old "our group isn't like that" usually followed by some bullshit and lies about how their upline are the most honest, nicest, moral, upstanding citizens this country has ever seen. LOL! Those Amway shysters never come up with new material. The bullshit prospects heard in the 70s and 80s is still being slung today.
Amway teaches its members to give answers like parrots -- just memorize something, and repeat it over and over.
DeleteYou aren't a thinking person when you're in Amway -- you're just a human phonograph record.
Hi Anonymous. Parroting the same thing over and over = Amway duplication. Those bastards can't come up with anything original. They parrot what the Amway cult leaders tell them to say. Got an answer for just about everything. Asking Ambots to invest in gay porno movies seems to shut them up.
DeleteHere's a link to Tex's current blog:

Ok. Somehow I remember his blog being on Blogspot.
DeleteTex had a blog called "Tex's Amway Global Blog". But due to his settlement of a lawsuit with Amway, he had to shut that one down. He later created the one that's up and running now. He even has a special subsection of his blog where it's dedicated to IBOFB, who he terms as the "village idiot". LOL
