Amway Is A Vicious Cycle

Its kind of troubling the pattern of search hits we’ve been seeing around here:

“Should I kick my Amway ambot out of the house?”
“What happens when husbands and wives don’t agree on Amway?”
“How do you get someone to leave Amway?”
“Boyfriend wants me to travel to Amway meetings with him”
“Amway destroyed my marriage”
“How to deprogram an Amway ambot”
“How to be deprogrammed from Amway”
“How to quit Amway”

These ones are especially sad because the searcher - and here I’ll go out on a limb and say probably a woman - has reached the end of their rope in putting up with the Amway bullshit and being abused by the upline and is searching on the Internet for how to deal with their relationship crumbling due to the interfering upline. Its a horrible position to be in to watch your husband throwing all your money at the great Amway cult, helpless to stop it because some upline cult leader has bullied him into buying more shitty Amway products that they can’t afford. How did some fucking Amway asshole get his clutches in to your husband to have this kind of control over him.

Cult!!!!

The “how to quit Amway” variation we get several of each day but a real spike between major functions. 

Normally Ambots are dragged off to a major function with all the rah rah and motivational speeches from the Ken and Barbies stomping across the stage. The ambot comes home from these motivational rallies and is all fired up and figuring out how they’re going to make their business explode. Sadly the only thing exploding is their dwindling bank account and skyrocketing credit card debt. After a few days or weeks of failing to convince any recruits to come to Amway meetings or finding new customers to buy Amway products the enthusiasm dwindles and the ambot starts to lose interest. They’re not making money and after all the whole point of owning your own business is to make money. Their cult leaders might notice the ambot not coming to meetings or slacking off on their Amway purchases and convince them not to quit now, not when success is right around the corner. Some ambots hang on for a few more weeks and get to the next major function, get all motivated again, and the sick cycle repeats itself.

Meanwhile the wife - and yes for this topic I’m going to call the above searches as done by the woman because I can give that point of view - is feeling hopeful that the end is in sight because the husband is losing interest.

Seeing as how I’d already been down the Amway path to hell I noticed things about Ambot that showed he was finally realizing he’d been lied to about getting rich in Amway. He stopped subscribing to Communikate and the World Wide Dream Builders premier membership. He stopped buying CDs and books. He stopped attending meetings.

Now granted getting to this stage took him a few months longer than the first foray into Amway hell. I was about at the end of my rope and I could have written any of those above Google searches about marriage being destroyed by Amway, how to deprogram an ambot from the Amway cult, and ready to kick the ambot out of the house.

What I didn’t know at the time was that my Ambot had had enough of being bullied by the sack of shit Platinum and being ordered to leave me and listening to these sickos that were praying I’d find another man and leave him. So there were other conflicts going on as Ambot realized the sheer evil of the Amway upline and how they were hell bent on destroying our relationship all in the name of trying to get their hands on our money.

So Ambot was letting go of those bastards. Setback came when someone upline phoned and told him he had to buy 100 or so PV of Amway products so some fucking asshole further upline could reach their goals for the month. Damn it anyway he put another $500 on his credit card buying useless shitty Amway products that we’ll never use. Then the same fucker phones back and badgers him about attending the next major function.

“Too bad,” Ambot tells the upline bastard. “I spent all my money buying those Amway products so those assholes could meet their goals this month. No money left for Amway functions.”

And that was the last time Ambot ever bought anything from Amway. Yay!

Though it wasn’t the last time the upline bastards phoned or texted him but it came less often. Seeing as how he missed a major function he was on the shit list and the punishment is to be ostracized by the sack of shit Platinum until he returns to the fold begging for forgiveness.

Didn’t happen.

So I will send out another big fuck you to our Platinum. You lost your grip asshole! And it was about time! FUCK YOU!

  1. Anna, I agree with you. It is mostly men who are sucked into the Amway racket, and it is their wives who suffer the bad consequences.

    Men are easily caught by appeals to "success" and "achievement" and "fulfilling one's dream." That is why Amway is largely a male-oriented business. The women who go along with it are usually very submissive wives who follow their husbands' directions.

    There are some exceptions. There are some women who are sucked into the Amway trap, and their husbands are the ones who suffer. But the percentages are heavily skewed the other way.

    And yes, some MLMs are directed at women primarily, such as the LuLaRoe scam or the ones that deal in essential oils or cosmetics. Women are also vulnerable to MLM lies and propaganda.

    The terrible thing about a woman whose husband has been brainwashed by Amway is that she is being torn apart. She loves her husband and wants to support him, but she also is smart enough to see that Amway is a goddamned scam that is bleeding them dry of funds, and wrecking their lives. So what can she do?

    Most of the time she has to hope that he will see the light, and just tell his up-line to fuck off.

    1. Anonymous - yeah Amway just tears our lives apart. Whether the Ambot is a man or a woman their partner is completely helpless against the brainwashing techniques used by Amway cult leaders. As you said they focus on achieving dreams and success. And leaving behind negative unchristian dreamstealers. LOL! Amway is a scam. The fucking assholes in the Amway cult are a bunch of broke losers. And somehow the wives are helpless to do anything about it.

      Except sometimes we start a blog to curse out the fucking Amway assholes in the upline and make sure the world knows about their brainwashing techniques and that Amway will only bring financial and emotional distress that might not be something to recover from.

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. Gets checked occasionally. We’ll get to you eventually and approve it as long as it really isn’t spam.
