For those of you who
have had to put up with listening to the Amway band the Goads and occasionally
stop by here looking information about them, you’ve come to the wrong place!
Ha! I remember hearing them. I guess they’re good enough, but not memorable and
not interesting enough to write about. Someone once left a comment with the
titles of the songs they sing and yeah they’re all about motivating Amway
ambots.
Time to really know what an Amway goad is. To be goaded by an Amway ambot.
Here’s a few things I found in online dictionaries for the meaning of the word “goad”
all that apply very well when used to describe an Amway IBO.
- to make a person or an animal react or do something by continuously annoying
or upsetting them
- a pointed rod used to make an animal move forward
- someone or something that urges or forces someone to do something
- something that pains as if by pricking
All of those apply to what its like being abused by the fucking assholes in
your Amway upline! The most fucking annoying goading bastards around are all in
Amway.
Is it any wonder that Amway uses a musical group at Amway functions and names
them “the goads”? Hua hua hua. Very fitting description for anything Amway!!!!
A former Amway lifer shares their story:
I stumbled upon your site after searching for “The Goads”, since I was curious
if they existed, let me explain.
I was a “lifer” in Amway back in the 80’s-90’s.
I was quite fluent in “the plan” and could “persuade” (I have to be careful how
I say that, since if you “chose” the right people, they didn’t need
persuading), and “candidate” that this was the best way to financial freedom.
It certainly makes sense that the most common persons to approach are young
unassuming “go getters” (I never used so many quotation marks) or someone who
is a solid business man. One has no idea what is ahead of them and the other
has the money to “invest”.
Anyway all that has been said is true in that there is a clear deception in
what is going on there. Yes, I know a person who still has their “dream” does
not see it that way, but lets look at a few thing they don’t tell you.
1. “If you work hard at it, you will succeed”. Now they carefully don’t tell
you how long that will be, since they have no idea. That works in their favor
both ways. One, as long as your in you purchase the products and “essentials”,
which leads to at the next question, but I’ll get to that. On the other hand if
you decide to leave for ANY reason, you’ve lost your “dream”.
2. It will cost you now, but when you make it, it will be a business that
allows you the free time to do what you want. Cost? That’s an understatement.
If you’ve got kids, sorry, if you’re struggling to pay off debt, don’t worry
about it, once your business kicks in, you can pay for all that and more.
(Heard this all before?) So after putting in countless hours showing the plan,
driving to meetings and getting out to “contact” people, that doesn’t leave
much time for the family. Again, this is why to seek out the young and “unattached”
(no kids). Now how long was that again until I can be successful? You just have
to work at it hard, uh huh.
3. You MUST attend the “functions” (another word for con-vention, good choice
by the way). Now let me get this right. I can’t take my kids anywhere and have
no money to take my wife out to dinner, but I NEED to spend money I don’t have
so that I can keep my “dream” alive? Don’t worry, we can get a room that you
and 12 others can split to make it less expensive...
I guess that brigns me back to why i was searching “The Goads”. (Sorry it took
me so long) Our pastor today brought up the story of Paul and how Christ said
to him that it was hard to work against the goads. He explained what a “goad”
was and it was like a light went on. A goad, he said is a sharpened stick that
allows the user to guide the sheep in the direction he wants them to go. (ding,
ding ding.) Got it yet, The Goads, perfectly and carefully named so, are the
sharpened stick that guided the blind sheep ( Amway followers) in the direction
of the dream. Well, I have been saving individuals, for sometime, from the misnomers
of Amway. I even got “contacted” to a plan showing (that was interesting). It
was nice to see good people leaving with me saying thanks. Keep up the good
work.
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 Love Amway Goads
2 comments:
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!
"Goad" is the actual surname of the family that runs the band. It's just a strange coincidence that the word also means "something to prod cattle and sheep into moving."
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - that's kind of an arrogant prick thing to do. I mean the Beach Boys didn't call themselves The Wilsons. If you're going to be a musical band choose a strong name that people can't make fun of LOL!
