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 WWDB Free Enterprise Days FED 2018
WWDB Amway are holding Free Enterprise Days FED 2018 probably in Portland Oregon like they usually do but I don’t know for sure. Amway Ambots behave badly at these events and Amway gets banned from holding any more functions in that arena. In the past Portland Oregon has been an Amway hot spot for brainwashing seminars. If anyone knows where Free Enterprise Days 2018 is getting crammed into this year, let us know. Probably a hotel meeting room or high school auditorium because attendance to Amway functions is dwindling too. In the past they’ve also held FED in Denver Colorado but that dropped off a few years ago. Amway cult activities are top secret no different than any other cult that doesn’t want outsiders to know more about the bullshit they’re pulling off. FED is usually held in October but a few years ago someone at World Wide Dream Builders fucked up and didn’t book the convention center in time and it was held in November. Due to declining attendance they may have booked a smaller facility than the usual convention center. I’m sure someone who has an Ambot in their life will show up with the details.
Tickets to FED used to cost $125 but a recent commenter said its around $150 now. Gotta make them Diamonds richer while the downline masses get poorer! And just in case anyone out there is living under a rock – the bulk of Amway Diamonds income is from ticket sales to functions like this. Its all part of the Amway tool scam.
So another post where I use some key words to draw in IBO's who are desperately searching on the Internet for more information about FED because no one tells them nothing useful at Amway meetings.
If you don't live within an hour or so drive of where the Amway function is being held add on your transportation costs, hotel, and restaurants for 3 days. Or more if you're a keener and get there a day or two early. Budget at least $1000 if you're driving. $2000 if you're flying/renting a car. That's per couple.
What happens at FED? Besides getting FED up with all the Amway brainwashing bullshit. Gee actually that just about covers it!
Friday night is one of these rah rah patriotic ceremonies with various branches of the military represented. The type of stuff that might look wonderful at other events but at an Amway function is fucking creepy. Its nice to recognize the men and women who serve our country but the fanfare is just all wrong at an Amway brainwashing convention. Listening to a bunch of rah rah Diamond speakers getting the crowd fired up for the weekend with promises of all the great things they're going to be taking away from the Amway WWDB function. Probably starts around 7 or 8pm and goes on till 11pm or so.
But don't you dare think the night is over! The assholes in your Amway upline are gonna want to do night owls and all the obedient little ambots better haul ass to the designated meeting place and be prepared to stay there for a few hours. The cult leaders know the best way to brainwash their cult followers is to keep them tired so they'll be easier to brainwash cause they'll agree to anything.
Then the serious bullshitting sessions start on Saturday morning. And they go on and on and on and on until 11pm or so that night. There is a dinner break for a couple of hours. Good little ambots better not dare leave their seats for any reason and miss very important information that is being shared.
And just what is this very important information that ambots must devote to memory? Its one Ken and Barbie Ambot after another strutting across the stage in evening wear like they got invited to a Presidents gala at the White House or something. They all have the same stories about how they used to work shitty minimum wage jobs until a very dear friend showed them the Amway business plan and now they're bazillionaires and travel first class all over the world and when they're at home in their mansion that they've built out in the boonies somewhere they entertain important people and show off their garage full of luxury sport cars.
Even though midnight is closing in after the day's bullshit session is over ambots can't think of going to bed because some asshole in their Amway upline has demanded their presence at another fucking night owl.
Sunday morning is a day to sleep in if the ambot is lucky. But more than likely the upline assholes will be pressuring the ambots to attend the Amway church service and get preached at by some Diamond who makes extra money doing this when he passes the hat around to the ambot congregation. Got to bleed the Ambots dry!
Sunday afternoon is more of the same from the day before. No real teaching or training. No useful information. Just Diamonds bragging about worldly possessions that they can afford thanks to Amway. Or maybe that's pretend to afford thanks to credit cards and bank loans.
The weekend of Amway hell is usually over around 5pm. Maybe. Unless you're traveling home with other ambots who will torture you for a few more hours about how they're “going big” in “the business”.
So there you have it. No need to waste your time or money going to FED. Its just another WWDB social gathering for Amway ambots to worship their cult leaders.

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!
Wow. The insanity of FED sounds just like the same garbage from Dream Night, Spring Leadership, and Family Reunion. I suppose when one can no longer think for oneself, these events are unique.
ReplyDeleteNow I can see why the IRS won't let Amway deductions count as business expenses. Can any rational person (especially an accountant or auditor) take a business with events called "Dream Night" and "Family Reunion" seriously?
Anonymous - there's not much difference between any of the Amway WWDB 4 functions other than the name changes and Dream Night is only for a few hours and the cheapest. You hear the same bullshit Amway propaganda at every one of them. You hear the Diamonds with the broke to billionaire stories (lies). The event names are probably chosen to appeal to the masses that really don't have anything going on in their lives.
DeleteThe IRS has already declared that Amway "business meetings" are nothing more than social gatherings and attending these conferences doesn't equal more business and income to the participants.
Amway is a scam.
"Weekend of Amway hell" is right! Ex-hub and I only went to one of those shitshows while we were in Amway, and that was one too many. The upline would blather on about "how much you'll learn" at these things. There's nothing to learn! All the Diamond couples tell the same story, "We were poor, we got into Amway, now we're rich!" None of the things you really need to learn if you want to survive in that business, such as how to keep getting more credit cards when you max out the old ones, and how to keep a 20-year-old Mercedes chugging along. And most important, how to get people to pay for stupid CDs of you talking about how you used to be poor and now you're rich.
ReplyDeleteHi snazzybird. I agree. Attending one Amway function is one too many! And there's nothing to learn at Amway brainwashing conferences. No real business advice is given on how to "build your business" to quote a popular Ambot phrase. The Diamonds stand up there and taunt the Ambots with their riches and if they can do it anyone can. Well no. Not everyone is a good enough liar and scammer to make money in Amway. And not everyone got in early enough. Like any pyramid scheme only those who got in around the beginning have a chance of making money. The motivational bullshit is a bunch of we used to be poor and now we're rich and pay for everything in cash. Or maybe just lying about being rich. If you pay for everything in cash, how do some Diamonds explain filing for bankruptcy and foreclosure. That would probably fall under the category of: Never question upline!
Delete"Shitshow" is the perfect word to describe an Amway "function." The people cavorting up on the stage are full of shit.
ReplyDeleteAnd since 1959, the Amway business has been pure shit for the 99.5% of IBOs who never made a dime in it.
Yup Anonymous. Shit show is a good way to describe anything Amway.
DeleteI've never heard more bullshit in my life than in the vicinity of lying scamming Amway Ambots.
