Been there done that. The resulting baby is a blog called Married to an Ambot!
Its a horrible helpless feeling when your husband is married to Amway which also means he’s married to the assholes in his upline. There was a time when your husband vowed to love honor and cherish his wife. Unfortunately when he signed up with the Amway cult he stopped loving honoring and cherishing his wife and he now loves honors and cherishes Amway and the Amway assholes in his upline.
The Amway cult group we were part of WWDB is better referred to as World Wide Destructive Bastards because all the assholes in this cult want to do is destroy other people’s lives.
The first thing the assholes in your husband’s Amway upline want to do is drag the wife into the cult. If the wife is also brainwashed then its easier to convince both of them to spend hundreds of dollars each month buying shitty overpriced Amway products, buy CD’s and books, and attend every Amway meeting and function.
If the wife is like me they probably attend some so they’ve got some idea of the creepy brainwashing worshipping shit that goes on at Amway cult meetings.
If the wife is like me and can’t stand the fucking asshole that sponsored them into Amway she’s not too likely to show up anywhere - whether it be an Amway meeting or a Rolling Stones concert - if that fucking asshole is planning to be there.
If the wife is like me and can’t stand the sack of shit Platinum Amway cult leader then she’s also going to avoid being anywhere that fucker is.
If the wife is like me and doesn’t want overpriced shitty useless substandard Amway products in the house she is going to go out and buy reasonably priced products that she actually needs and wants that taste good or get the cleaning job done and face the wrath of the Amway cult for not supporting their business.
If the wife is like me she’s going to say if the only customers your business has is yourself then you’re a fucking moron!!!!
The wife is not going to be at all impressed by the amount of money that is being sucked out of them thanks to her husband being married to Amway.
The wife is not going to be too happy at all the time her husband is forced to spend with the assholes in his Amway upline thanks to her husband being married to Amway.
The wife is going to hate the personality change that comes over her husband thanks to being brainwashed by the Amway cult and being married to Amway. The nice man she married has now become a condescending sneering Amway asshole who has the attitude that he is better than everyone else simply because he is in Amway and they’re not.
The husband also becomes paranoid of all things that he deems to be “negative”. This would be everyone and anything that has a different opinion than his sack of shit Platinum cult leader. Yup, the wife can thank her husband being married to Amway for the brainwashed demon ambot he has become.
The Amway assholes in her husband’s upline are now brainwashing the ambot that his wife is an unsupportive, negative, unchristian dream stealer and that he would be better off without her. That’s all part of the ulterior motive of WWDB World Wide Destructive Bastards to separate their cult followers from anything that has the potential to cut off the money supply flowing upwards to them. The only thing that brings Amway assholes happiness is destroying other people’s lives. Yet another joy that comes to the wife thanks to her husband being married to Amway.
The husband has now become a bigamist because he is also married to Amway. Cult brainwashing complete: Amway is the only thing that all ambots must truly love over and above everything else.
In this day and age most women will not tolerate a husband who has a love interest relationship outside their marriage. Some women might try to hold their marriage together and give the husband an ultimatim - your mistress or me - forgive him, go for counselling, and rebuild their marriage. Other women will kick the bastard to the curb and file for divorce. And I’m talking about Amway here not a real live woman girlfriend. Hard to tell the difference isn’t it?
Most women who say “my husband is married to Amway” - one way or another won’t be saying it for a whole lot longer.
On behalf of all women whose husbands are married to Amway I want to send a big old fuck you to the Amway assholes in the upline!
The thing is, it can also happen in reverse. A man may discover that his wife is "married to Amway," and is just as fixated on the sick cult. She might be the one spending money wildly, and going to half-assed functions and meetings, and worshiping up-line, and buying crappy products that are overpriced. It's not just the guys.
ReplyDeleteCult-control is not limited to any one sex. After all, look at all the insane women who joined up in LuLaRoe, or the various skin-care and cosmetics MLMs. Many of the new MLMs target young women specifically.
Cults exist and thrive because of certain intense psychological needs that people have, whether they are male or female.
Anonymous - I've been surprised by the number of men over the years who've left a comment here that they're married to an ambot. Or dating one. Or divorced an ambot! I'm not sure if one of them is still reading this blog. He was engaged to an Ambot and had the usual story of how Amway soap is more important to her than he is. All the money wasted. All the time she spends on Amway activities and going to functions. And everyone here is saying you better put the wedding on hold. But he got married and left at least one newlywed comment that she was still going strong in Amway and he's basically supporting her Amway habit. If he's still reading maybe he can update us!
DeleteThere were two or three single women in our cult sect. The usual Amway story. Around 20 years old. Low income. Bottom of the pyramid. Not making money. Not signing up prospects. But all gung ho.
Amway is a good old boy's club. A single woman is never going to claw her way up the pyramid. Who has seen a single woman standing on stage with other Amway Diamonds? I mean single, not just standing there alone cause her husband is doing something else. How many single female Amway cult leaders are running their own meetings?
As you pointed out women are more inclined to join an MLM that is more female oriented like Mary Kay or LuLaRoe. Its more of a sisterhood and women like seeing other women succeed. We don't want to enter a male dominated industry where there's no room for a woman to move up the ranks.
Men or women join these cults because of needs they have. Amway the Cult of Greed where all material things are worshipped - the more expensive the better. Why buy a canoe when you can buy a yacht?
The biggest mistake anybody can make is to marry someone with a deep psychological compulsion. I decided not to marry a girl because her obsession with gambling turned me off. Her idea of a hot date was to spend five hours in a Bingo Hall!
ReplyDeleteIf your spouse gets involved in Amway after the wedding, then of course it is simply a tragedy that isn't your fault. But I cannot comprehend how anyone would marry somebody who is already a committed Amway freak. That would be like marrying a hopeless alcoholic.
Anonymous - getting into a relationship with someone who has an addiction and thinking you can help that person quit or wait them out until they decide they've had enough is always a bad idea.
DeleteExactly - why would a person marry someone who already is an Amway Ambot. You know you're in for a life of misery full of financial and emotional distress. That is if you were smart enough to research online and read other people's stories about financial devastation, divorce, destroyed families, bankruptcy, eviction and foreclosure. Like the guy engaged to the Ambot! You're also heading into a life of misery if you marry someone who has an obsessive addiction to alcohol, drugs, gambling, or anything else.
The girl whom I was thinking of marrying was sweet, kind, loving, thoughtful, intelligent, pretty, and dedicated to her family. I always remember her with a smile, because she was one of the nicest and most pleasant persons I have ever met. She didn't have a mean bone in her body.
ReplyDeleteBut she had an ADDICTION! Gambling was her big weakness. The mere sight of playing cards, or dice, or a roulette wheel, or even simple Bingo cards was like catnip to her. And her addiction was perpetuated by the fact that she was very good at all games of chance. She constantly came home from a casino with more cash than she had started with, because she had a solid education in math, and knew how to figure odds.
I knew that a marriage between us would never work out. I have only mediocre skills in math, and to me the most boring place on earth is a casino or a Bingo hall. I would never have been able to keep up with her hot gambling enthusiasm, and she would have been disappointed in me. So we parted, but good friends still.
What is horrible about the Amway addiction in IBO lifers is that it CAN'T be combined with a pleasant and kind personality. Amway changes you. It makes you selfish, and cold, and utterly fixated on money, recruitment and the worship of up-line. And it warps your mind and your thinking habits, because of the sick cultic control that is slowly wrapped around your perceptions and attitudes. You become a brainwashed and arrogant spouter of MLM propaganda and stupid slogans.
My girlfriend was a gambler, but she never lost her essential humanity and her loving nature. When you become an Amway lifer, you lose both.
Anonymous - there are some really good movies out there about gambling. And you see the addiction to the players have. Well hell you even see it with Chevy Chase in National Lampoon's Vegas Vacation! The gambler's high. Sometimes they come home with extra money and most of the time they lose all their money. Sometimes they lose money that wasn't theirs to begin with.
DeleteThere's professional gamblers. This is how they make a living. How about those MIT students that did really well in Vegas playing blackjack. If you're good at gambling, and probably card games like poker and blackjack you can probably be a professional and that's how you make your money. But betting on everything in sight? I can walk through a casino and take my time deciding what to do. I walk past a lot of games and slots! But yeah I get bored in a casino after an hour so I see your point about not wanting to spend your life with someone who wants to spend most of your time in a casino.
Likewise I can't spend any of my time worshipping shitty overpriced Amway products and the fucking assholes in the Amway upline.
Amway changes people into nasty insulting evil vicious motherfuckers.
Gamblers might retain their regular personality. Depends how much money they borrowed to lose.
