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 Ambots Are Dream Stealers
Dream Stealers.
It almost sounds like alien invaders descending from an unknown universe ready to suck out the part of your body where your dreams are kept.
I constantly heard the term “dream stealers” during Amway meetings and then parrotted by Ambot.
In an accusatory tone he condemned our friends and relatives who didn’t support his business as dream stealers. “They’re trying to steal my dream” or “they don’t want my dreams to come true”. Those were terms he threw at me too as counselled by the fucking assholes in his Amway upline.
Its a stupid term used as a lame excuse by IBO’s to justify their failure at not making money in Amway. Everyone else is a dream stealer. Always blame other people.
There’s a Disney song about how a dream is a wish your heart makes. If your dream is in your heart then no one can steal your dream. Not without some surgical tools to slice you open and kill you by removing your heart.
So what was Ambot’s dream? It was whatever the upline told him his dream was. It had something to do with leaving me. That was the upline’s dream more than it was Ambot’s.
But how many of those upline fuckers ever asked me once what my dream was? Not a single one of them. I mean really, why would they? None of them gave a shit about me.
And they all probably could take a good guess at my answer: “To get Ambot the hell away from you fucking evil bastards and quit Amway!!!”
What about IBOs who leave the cult. They’re also called dream stealers. They’re poison. Stay away from them or they’ll steal your dream too.
A dream is a thought, an idea. Its in your head and in your heart. Its not an actual entity. I’m not sure how you can lose something that is not an object like losing your car keys or your glasses. Or the cat got out of the house and is lost. Or I lost Ambot again at Lowes. Someone can steal the keys, the glasses, the cat, maybe even Ambot as attempted by the cult followers. If someone steals your car you call the police to report the theft. How can someone steal your dream? And how do you explain that one to the cops when you phone to report the theft?
“Aw, gee, my next door neighbor is a dream stealer and he stole my dream of owning a Porsche. I demand you arrest that son of a bitch and charge him with theft!”
“Dream stealers” is just one of many ridiculous things I’ve heard spout from the mouths of brainwashed IBOs. Dream stealers are further defined as losers, failures, and people going nowhere who want to drag you down to their level.
The reality about “dream stealers” is they are usually people who love you and don’t want to see you fail, lose your money in a scam, and suffer from any kind of distress.
Dream stealers have an alternate point of view from the upline and that makes them dangerous people - at least in the eyes of the Platinum because they could be responsible for letting those dollar signs slip away.
Is it a bad thing to listen to the “dream stealers”? Instead of stealing a dream are they really giving good advice? IBOs think the “dream stealers” are being negative and trying to “steal my dream”. Instead all they’re doing is trying to save the IBO from making bad business decisions.
Remember those alien invaders who are sucking the dreams out of your body? They’re not so alien after all. The real dream stealers are the people who actually use that phrase.
Amway losers.

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. There's over 1000 spam comments left here each month. We don't check them. We just delete them. If your comment landed in spam - sucks to be you!
Amway isn't the only MLM cult to use the term. Back in 1991, Nu Skin even made a short horror/fantasy movie called "Dreamstealers," with a baseball motif in order to capitalize on the then-recent popularity of "Field of Dreams." The dreamstealers were depicted as zombies.
ReplyDeleteThese cults will feed their members any crazy propaganda in order to keep them in line. It's sad to think that people will fall for these lies in order to cling to the belief of extreme wealth that the upline leaders preach at every meeting.
Hi Anonymous. I’m not familiar or don’t remember theNu Skin campaign.
DeleteIt’s really crazy how cults can brainwash their flock to believe stupid propaganda.
I had never heard of the Nu Skin movie until an acquaintance of mine looked at it in a thrift store and decided not to waste his money.
DeleteJust Google "Nu Skin Dreamstealers VHS" to learn of this vintage madness.
Anonymous - same thing with most MLM products - don't waste your money even when it's at thrift store prices.
DeleteThis 'dream stealer' thing is really fucking stupid. As kids, we often dream about becoming astronauts, sportspersons, singers, dancers etc. Not once have we dreamt about owning fancy cars and mansions. Of course, those are nice things to have, but not at the expense of your downline. What kind of a success is it if your downline has to stock up products just so you can walk the beaches of the world.
ReplyDeleteMy upline whore would often tell me to stay away from my relatives as all they do is gossip and bring you down and steal your dream. Control freak!
"If you have a dream, ignore the facts" - this was often told at the cult seminars. Yeah, ignore the fact that you are loosing cash month after month stocking up, buying CDs and books, attending the cult meetings and pretend like you are excited and fired up and are going diamond and success is just around the corner. Fuck that shit!
I've attended enough seminars that just hearing the word 'dream' now makes me want to throw up.
Fuck Amway!
Fuck BWW!
Fuck the diamonds, emeralds and platinums!
Fuck the Devos and Van Andel families!
Kudos to anna and joecool!
Love from india :)
Hi QuitAmway - I’m with you. Whenever I hear dream big I wonder if I’m dealing with an Amway Ambot. I never used to be suspicious that way of too many things that remind me of the Amway cult.
DeleteAnd yeah we can’t say fuck Amway and fuck Amway Ambots enough around here!
Thanks for loving us from India!
Heard all that and more; people who are against Amway/WWDB are supposedly:...dream stealers...losers...people who live with their parents...jealous...going to be broke and have no money in our collapsing economy...more insults I'll probably remember later lol
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - those fucking Amway assholes have all kinds of insults for people who don't believe in the Great Amway God. Dream stealers is one of the more milder insults spouted by Amway Ambots.
DeleteYou'll remember more later! LOL!
