I have a good comment left by David Brear left on the topic
Amwayis Killing Me.
For those not familiar with David Brear, and I hate to admit I am sort of in
that group, I've seen his contributions over the years to Shyam's blog
Corporate Frauds Watch. And
since this post was originally posted he has started a blog called
MLM TheAmerican Dream Made Nightmare.
David makes a good point in his last sentence about why some IBO's threaten
bodily harm to some bloggers - Joecool's Canadian troll comes to mind.
Thank you for stopping by the blog David!

To 'Ambots' - in order to save the world, it
becomes necessary to destroy it.
Far from achieving 'Total Financial Freedom,'
countless, male core-'Amway' adherents have, in fact, wound up on mortuary
slabs. They fell asleeep at the wheels of their clapped-out cars. These
vulnerable guys were indoctrinated to believe that they were heroic 'Road
Warriors,' the 'Amway' elite, who (exactly like their heroic 'Diamond' leaders)
would selflessly drive anywhere (at any time) to build the 'Business' and
achieve their 'Dreams and Goals.'
Sadly, anyone reading these alarming facts without
a direct personal experience of a deluded 'Ambot,' will not be able to
appreciate the full horror that groups like 'Amway' represent. However,
unquestioning core-'Amway' adherents are no longer the individuals they once
were. Whilst they remain under the malign influence of their group, they are
effectively dead; for they have been gradually dissociated from external
reality and reformed into de facto slaves furthering the hidden criminal
objectives of their leaders, completely dependent on a collective paranoid
delusion of absolute moral and intellectual supremacy fundamental to the
maintenance of their individual self-esteem/identity and related psychological
function. It becomes impossible for such deluded 'Ambots' to see humour in
their situation or to feel pity for, or to empathise with, non-adherents. Their
minds have been programmed to interpret the manipulation, and/or cheating,
and/or dispossession, and/or destruction, of inferior outsiders (particularly
those who challenge their group's controlling scenario) as perfectly justifiable.
I too, have witnessed this first-hand with
vulnerable members of my own family.
Just like Adolf Hitler, the otherwise-mediocre
little charlatan-bosses of pernicious totalitarian/cultic mobs like 'Amway' and
'Scientology' have become immensly-wealthy by peddling vulnerable individuals
essentially the same narcissistic lie - i.e. they claim to offer a superior
knowledge - an exclusve means of self-betterment which will permit their
unquestioning followers to achieve a secure, future, Utopian existence.
For decades, the absurd leadership of the twin
movements known as 'Amway' and 'Scientology' have steadfastly pretended
absolute moral and intellectual authority whilst running, and occulting,
esentially the same advance fee fraud. Indeed, the 'Amway' and 'Scientology'
Utopias (as well as the sacred scientific means of achieving these comic-book
guided-fanatasies) have been portrayed using virtually the same ritual words
and images.
In both 'Amway' and 'Scientology' core-adherents
have been indoctrinated to believe that all their previous thinking was wrong
and dangerous, and that they should kill off their former 'negative' selves and
cross over a bridge into a 'totally positive' brave new world. This radical
transformation process has involved excluding from the adherents' lives all
'negative' influences; particularly, free-thinking individuals who try to
reason with them.
Thus, although it can seem impossible to casual
observers, the most-deluded 'Ambots' actually believe that in order to save
themselves, their friends and their families, it is first necessary to destroy
all of these 'negative and dangerous' people.

Amway is very much like the Church of Scientology. Both are extremely poisonous systems of mind-control, designed solely to bleed adherents of money while humiliating them at the same time.
ReplyDeleteL. Ron Hubbard was one of the sickest pieces of human garbage to ever exist. A liar, a cheat, a fraud, a compulsive control-freak, and a megalomaniac all rolled into one, Hubbard created one of the most evil organizations to ever pollute this planet.
Amway and the other MLMs are basically small potatoes compared to the world-encircling horror of Scientology. But Amway is still based on the core principles of GREED and CONTROL. And both Amway and Scientology are cults -- the latter in a very obvious way, the former is an indirect way.
Hi Anonymous. Both Scientologist and Ambots are frightening, creepy and evil out to suck money and brain cells from their victims.
DeleteBoth are cults. Both are about greed and mind control.
Hubbard and Van Andel and DeVos all created the most evil organizations to pollute this planet. But yeah Amway and other pyramid schemes are small potatoes compared to the wealth the Church of Scientology brings in.
