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 Ambot Mantra: Find People Who Want To Save Money (LOL!!!!)
“We want to show you how to save money buying from your own shop and then you find other people who want to save money and teach them how to set up their own shops so they can save money too.”
I heard that phrase many times - or similar wording - at every Amway meeting I attended.
The statement sounds reasonable enough. Shop from your own store and save money buying products that you would purchase anyway. Yeah, sounds good. Everyone wants to save money and get good deals on products they regularly purchase.
The problem is our upline bullied Ambot into changing his spending habits to buy shit that we never bought before, shit that I didn’t like, and often we didn’t end up using. He didn’t save money while in the Amway cult because he spent way more money than if he’d purchased comparable lower priced products at the grocery and drug store. And we ended up wasting money by throwing out a bunch of useless, shitty Amway products.
How is that saving us money? We’re spending hundreds of dollars a month on Amway products that we’ve never had on our shopping list. Energy drinks, food bars, bottled water, and vitamins to mention a few.
I don’t consider myself an avid shopper but I hit the drug stores and grocery stores enough times that I have a good idea of prices and quality and good value.
Ambot does not. Oh he might spot a good deal and stock up on the item but for the most part he doesn’t know how much things cost at the store.
He blindly accepted the upline’s (bad) advice that Amway’s products would save us money and these items were better quality than what could be purchased at the local retailers and that he should buy, buy, buy! He MUST be his own best customer. Including himself and a few occasional pity purchasers out of his customer base – sure he was his own best customer.
Because of the upline’s influence over Ambot being his own best customer I got stuck using inferior products that did not save us money.
The real damage with the “save money” by shopping at your own store philosophy is IBO’s like Ambot do not do price comparisons with other retailers and overspend by buying stuff that they normally would not have purchased.
I know how to save money when I’m shopping. Its by having a good idea of what the prices are of groceries and sundries that I regularly purchase at the grocery and drug stores and recognizing when something is on sale at a decent enough price to buy it. Then I watch the flyers and when I see something on sale that I regularly purchase I stock up. If I see something in the flyer that’s a good price but its not something I need - I don’t buy it. See? Saving money?
I save a lot of money now that we don’t have to buy overpriced shitty Amway products.

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.
Another problem I find with the Amway products is that they are not clean (not free of colours, preservatives and other harmful materials). When I was attempting to recruit my mom she called Amway and asked about nutrillite/bodykey ecetera and asked how many certified organics do you have? You want to know the answer? 1. The green tea. The rest had preservatives and non-organics materials in them. I can get organic-pure-quality and non-preservative-colour-laden supplements elsewhere, most of the time at a reduced price, so why would I shop from a "store" which has not stayed with the times and is not fully dedicated to clean living and health? I also know of someone who dropped out of Amway, after developing a downline, due to their lack of ingredient integrity and lack of clean products. If you want to know the integrity of a company look at the back of the label, and when you find colours, preservatives and other cancer causing compounds, you have a problem.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - Amway Ambots are brainwashed to believe that all Amway products are organic and will cure every terminal disease out there. If you try to point out the ingredient list shows non-organic stuff, preservatives, colored supplements, or what have you, the Ambot goes into defensive mode and lies and denies and calls you a negative dreamstealer. Even when the facts are staring them right in the face the life of an Amway Ambot is to lie, deny, distract and defend. The facts don't matter when you're in Amway.
DeleteFully agreed, there's nothing natural about their products. By the time something happens to them eating those products and gets sick, it'll be on their far end. Karma
