Love bombing? They held the secret to success? They were all going to get rich together? The motherfucker who signed us up to Scamway was a long time friend of his who I can't stand. One of these losers who can't hold a job, always calling wanting to know if we know anyone who's hiring, wanting hand outs, that kind of low life son of a bitch. He's a fucking arrogant prick. But enough of his good points. The reason most people get into Amway is just like what happened to you. You get prospected by someone you already know, maybe trust and like. That's not how it was with me because I've never liked the loser but that's how it is with most people who get scammed into Amway. And yes being young is huge because you're unlikely to have heard of Amway. But the problem with prospecting younger people is they know how to use a computer and to research. The Internet is the worst thing that can happen to Amway because people who've suffered financial and emotional distress have a huge outlet to share their stories. <br /><br />Good on you for staying out of the Amway hell hole. No one needs to go through the misery the Amway cult puts you through.Anna Bananahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05373457126465029723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623443549536997676.post-46596747146396950802016-01-07T12:27:17.528-08:002016-01-07T12:27:17.528-08:00Anna, why did your husband LIKE these guys?

What kind of control do you have over someone who doesn't like you? None! That totally outraged those fucking assholes in our Amway upline. Control freaks! <br /><br />Of course all ambots have PhD in bullshit. They're card carrying Amway assholes which automatically means they are experts in everything and have degrees in anything they want. <br /><br />Yeah those Amway bastards should have listened to me when I said NO and stay the hell away from us. But they're part of World Wide Destructive Bastards and nothing brings them more happiness than destroying other people's lives so they went ahead anyway.<br /><br />Unfuckwithable!

And you can do that because you've met another Platinum and their behavior is all exactly the same. <br /><br />The thing about these Amway losers is that their personalities also tend to be charismatic and come off sounding believable and trustworthy and they're good at closing sales. if they chose another line of work than being a commissioned salesperson for Amway they'd likely do pretty good financially. <br /><br />And yeah flying off into rages at any deviation from his version of the Great Amway Plan. After awhile I flat out refused to go to any more Amway cult meetings because I couldn't put up with that sick bastard anymore. I hope I did give him plenty of migraines and ulcers. And maybe he gave head office too many of those cause after they fired him he moved on to flogging Monavie.Anna Bananahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05373457126465029723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623443549536997676.post-7125964860520656772016-01-07T11:03:35.215-08:002016-01-07T11:03:35.215-08:00@Anna Bananna, excellent post, you have a very goo...@Anna Bananna, excellent post, you have a very good built in bullshit detector. I've learned in my life how to identify people who are manipulators of others and the ways they do it. And Amway is all about lying to and manipulating people because nobody in their rational mind would submit to it otherwise. <br />Keep in mind the golden rule of dealing with manipulators: NO ONE CAN MANIPULATE YOU WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT. It's so easy and fun to turn the tables on these assholes. Here in my own words are some of the techniques I've learned:<br />Just remember this one simple word: "no". Also, don't argue with them. You don't have to. Remember that these people usually have a PhD in bullshit and arguing so don't bother. "Oh excuse me, I already said 'no', maybe you weren't listening."<br />You don't have to give them a reason why. "Yes I've heard you and no, you haven't interested me." Manipulators will try to put the onus on you and once they make you feel you have to give them a reason why they have won.<br />Just look at them like they bore you with all their bullshit. You can see through it and have no interest in it whatsoever. Look them in the eye for a few seconds, look like you are trying to stifle a yawn (that's how much you are bored with their bullshit) and calmly say "no".<br />Don't get visibly angry at them unless they have clearly crossed the line. They are searching for your buttons to use against you. <br />Remember that you are no more interested in listening to his/her bullshit than you are in sleeping with the disgusting bastard or bastress, whichever the case may be.<br />Here's the fun part: watch as the cracks start to appear in their facade once they begin to see that they have underestimated you. You are unfuckwithable. <br />Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07117256252790532325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623443549536997676.post-64770794502898623092016-01-07T09:24:45.226-08:002016-01-07T09:24:45.226-08:00You have it exactly right, Anonymous. The last th...You have it exactly right, Anonymous. The last thing an upline wants is people who can think for themselves and use logic and reason and does the math. That threatens their smiley lovebombing toothy-grin saying "never question upline. TRUST ME!" They call "negative" anything where a downline has an individual brain and can spot bullshit. That's why they use all the cult tactics. Lovebombing, sleep deprivation, long "motivational" seminars and mind-numbing CD's. As with all cults, the goal is to make the victim stop thinking for themselves and put a wall between them and anyone who can try to reason with them, such as family and real friends. <br /><br />Amway can only work as a cult because anyone in it who is allowed to think for themselves, question and do math would come to the obvious conclusion "hey... there's no fucking way I can ever get ahead in this pyramid scheme. Everything they are telling me is lies and bullshit".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623443549536997676.post-47283633101281804282016-01-06T20:16:26.188-08:002016-01-06T20:16:26.188-08:00You have to consider what the typical Amway Platin...You have to consider what the typical Amway Platinum is like. He's usually a fat-assed, middle-aged failed used-car salesman from Indiana or Ohio. He wears cheap, off-the-rack suits, and his house is decorated from IKEA. He attends the Holy-Roller Glory Hallelujah True Gospel Church in some little rat's ass town in the boondocks.<br /><br />He's ignorant, arrogant, used to bossing his wife around, and obsessed with professional football. And having made his way up the Amway food chain, he's passionately committed to the idea that everybody in his down-line has to obey his orders to the letter.<br /><br />When anyone in his down-line shows the slightest inclination to think for himself or ask a question, the Platinum goes berserk with rage. He doesn't tolerate the slightest deviation from lockstep Amway routines. He is outraged by skepticism concerning Amway's promises, or any "negative" statements about the sacred Amway business.<br /><br />His livelihood depends on having simple-minded and blindly obedient people underneath him who will never even think of questioning his directives. Anybody else with the slightest bit of independence or self-awareness threatens the Platinum's whole world view.<br /><br />In short, he wants and needs persons whom he can "fuck with." If you're not that sort of person, you're his worst nightmare.<br /><br />Anna, congratulations. I hope you gave your Platinum plenty of migraines and ulcers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
