Thanks to one of our readers for their thoughts on the scary Amway cult.
Amway followers are insane and need help both psychologically and emotionally
and I genuinely mean that. Its down right scary that in today's age the cult
(its far more than a scam) continues to feed on weak fragile minds. The unity
amongst ambots and continual support for each others dreams, goals, mindset..
whether it be diamond, billionaire, etc is whats frightening.
From an outside educated perspective a simple observation of amway yells scam
and begs the question of why in the world would anyone even consider this? what
kind of living/ purpose or sense of fulfillment does this provide? yet it
somehow infects people like a disease. It attacks those who have a upbringing
in a family that did not have wealth or figure that held a job, education, or
had/sought any financial knowledge (investments, retirement, insurance). Those
who are consumed by amway I believe have no idea where wealth comes from, how
its earned, and how it can be maximized. They have conceptualized and are drawn
to this idea that one simply becomes a millionaire over night, within a short
time period, or to those that think right.
It baffles me that they both listen to "millionaires" with zero
credentials and believe they are learning a mindset and travel thousands of
miles and spend thousands of dollars to do so? excuse me but do lawyers and
doctors and government contractors the list goes on and on ... have millionaire
mindsets? NO they work hard at their professions and logically save money,
invest long term
The fact that leadership (not a word deserved) deter individuals from
socializing with friends, encourage them to doubt higher education, and resist
society is absolute EXTORTION. The company (not a word they deserve) literally
and I mean literally brainwash individuals. They display wealth (vision), a
path (means), and a goal (outcome) to weak minds that buy into this non sense.
To combat society, friends (above mentioned) amway develops phrases,
monologues, speeches as weapons and if you know an ambot you can recite this shit
word for word.
It leaves me speechless and angry there absolute denial of reality focus on
money money money money and future success with none thus far scares me. There
constant badgering of education, society, is pathetic. I dont understand how
grown adults fall prey to this company..it has no function of a real company...
(staff support, offices, managers, HR, dude these are basic...)
Where does it end... I wonder. I have never done amway or ever considered it
period. I simply had # great friends who have joined and I can barely recognize
them now through there social media, etc.
I personally without releasing details have a BBA and hold an analyst position
for XX company. I net a substantial amount of money but who cares, at the end
of the day its about job fit, enjoyment, and loved ones. I hope this rant did
not offend anyone whose been attached to amway at anytime. I simply came across
this forum and felt obligated to comment.
It's very true -- Amway is a form of mental disease, at least in the cases of those IBOs who stay in it for years and years, buying tools and going to functions, and earning next to nothing.
ReplyDeleteMentally competent people recognize when a business venture is not profitable. They cut their losses and try something else. But staying in an unprofitable business and doggedly refusing to admit that it is unworkable is a sure sign of deep mental derangement.
What is really evil about Amway is that the company is perfectly willing to encourage this kind of mental derangement in IBOs, just to make money off it. This is no different from what drug dealers do with addicts -- they keep them hooked forever, until the addicts go broke or die.
Anonymous - yes. Why would anyone allow themselves to be brainwashed and abused by a cult and extorted of their money and be pushed into debt? There has to be some sort of mental health issues for the Amway participants who stay inside the cult for long periods of time suffering financial and emotional distress. And as you pointed out the Amway company encourages their cult sects to push this mental derangement onto the Ambots just so they can make money off them. Except for the top pin Amway cult leaders, all Ambots go broke and some die in the process of worshipping the Great Amway God.
