Its bad enough on the night of
an Amway meeting to actually have to attend but the horror of horrors is
that there are usually several meetings planned for the evening and some ambots
have the misfortune of attending all of them. The first is a “pre-meeting” with
the Platinum but that’s only if you’ve scheduled an appointment and if the
fucker deems you worthy of his attention. This appointment could be between 5pm
to 7pm lasting 15 to 30 minutes or longer. This is usually held at a coffee
shop where the meddling bastard wants to see a budget, a phone list, or ride
everyone’s asses why they weren’t bringing prospects to meetings and lack of
customers. If we were “privileged” to have the first appointment we were
expected to buy the Platinum a coffee and snack. Even if we weren’t first
sometimes the Platinum just turned to Ambot and asked him to get him a burger.
No cash exchanged hands and of course Ambot hopped into action because the cult
leader had stroked his ego and called him a server. Yeah in more ways than one!
The board plan meeting was either held at the cult leader’s house or at the
home of someone else in our line. They started at 8pm.
I’ve got better things I can be doing at 8pm like some good TV shows are on
then. Ambot used to challenge me and say “how is watching TV making me any
money?” Well at least we weren’t losing any money by staying home and
watching TV! Can’t say the same thing about time and money wasted at Amway
meetings!
The pompous sack of shit Platinum loves the sound of his own voice. He’d spend
the first hour telling the same old bullshit stories mostly about himself and
what a wonderful cult leader he is or about something going on in the news.
Ranting and raving mostly with a good dose of religion thrown in.
Maybe take him an hour or longer to fess up and mention the dreaded Amway word.
He’d use a whiteboard and flash cards to present the Amway business plan. Eat,
drink, and duplicate. Find other people and teach them to do the same. Find
enough people and you'll be earning $300,000 a year.
The board plan drags on for 3 hours because he keeps getting sidetracked
and goes off on various rants usually something negative that's happening in
the news. The sack of shit loves spreading negativity and scaring his ambots
into submission.
I was ready to go home before I even arrived. By 11pm I just want to get the
hell out of here. Go home. Go to a bar. Go to Denny’s. Anywhere but listening
to the sack of shit!
Then the cult leader finally takes a break. Yay! We can go home. Then horrors!
It ain't over yet! Anyone who’s not a “serious business builder” or anyone who
brought guests can go home. The rest of us unfortunate bastards are stuck for
round 2 or maybe round 3 if you were unfortunate enough to be part of the
pre-meeting bullshit. Sometimes Ambot can catch a ride home with someone else
and tells me to go home. Yee haw! I don’t stick around in case Ambot or the
cult leader changes their collective brainwashed mind.
I have stayed for too many late night teachings. These meetings last another
hour or two. Very typical for Amway cult meetings to last well past Midnight.
When cult followers are tired its easier to brainwash their minds. Now is when
the pompous sack of shit criticizes the way people dress, the car they drive,
their haircut, the people they hang out with, etc. Mostly he criticizes the
group for not sponsoring anyone or bringing prospects to meetings. He'll talk
about the movers and shakers in his downline and sing their praises for the
rest of the meeting gabbing on about how those are the people going Platinum,
going Diamond. Not so far! Including him the fucking loser!
No teaching. No business advice. Lots of rants. That sums up what people are
really doing late at night at Amway meetings.
Getting brainwashed!
These endless, late-night meetings with some Platinum asshole are standard in Amway. There is absolutely NOTHING that is mentioned about how to build the business, or how to make sales, or good ways to recruit possible new members. Everything is just pure orating and hectoring and rah-rah arm pumping.
ReplyDeleteLike every religious gathering, the real purpose is to GENERATE PIETY. You're there to show your faith and allegiance to the Amway cult, your utter obedience to your up-line, and your willingness to be uncomfortable for several hours. You are the sheep; the Platinum leader is the Shepherd. He treats you like a herd of animals because you silently gave him permission to do that when you joined the Amway cult.
The best way to fuck up an Amway meeting is to fall asleep, and start snoring loudly. This will enrage the Platinum and his henchmen, but it will also convince others present that they aren't the only ones who are bored and tired. Some of them will laugh, others will start to yawn and stretch, and a few brave ones will get up and say "I gotta go." If all of this happens, the meeting will be totally wrecked and the next day several of these IBOs will call their up-line and say that they are through with Amway, and ask him not to call them up again.
The Platinum will be infuriated, but what can he do? He will have lost a lot of down-line, and he'll have to explain the reason for it to those big pins who are above him. That means he'll have to sweat for a change.
You're right Anonymous. The real purpose of these frequent Amway cult meetings is for the Ambots to show their faith and allegiance to the Amway cult and their beloved cult leaders. Going to Amway bored plan meetings only keeps brainwashed Ambots alert. It puts normal people to sleep! Most Ambots would not dare do anything like you described because that would earn them the wrath of the sack of shit Platinum. And the Ambot would be the subject of ridicule for the rest of the meeting. And for a few more Amway meetings. Stay in Amway long enough and get abused by the fucking assholes in the Amway upline.
