During those 3 years, our relationship was tested to the max. We almost divorced numerous of times because we would argue about how I no longer wanted to do Amway, and he liked the association of our upline so felt like he was doing this for "our future". I get it, the people we were around weren't douchey, they were fun and we still talk to some of them. I liked a lot of the wives etc, but I also felt like most of them were trapped in the 1950's submissive lifestyle. NOT for me. I think being around those other men (who most of them were younger than us and doing "well" in the business, but not retirement level) made my husband felt important. We finally stopped going and no longer IBO's once I had my daughter and within a year we had to file bankruptcy because we were spending about $1000 on credit cards on products, books and CDs. I never felt comfortable at the meetings, and while we were apart of the business my husband was a completely different person than who he was when I married him. I am so thankful that we got out.

It was really confusing because I didn't understand why she would recommend the pills.

However brainwashed Amway IBO’s are the most judgemental people I’ve ever met in my life, quick to point fingers and accuse others and I can sort of understand why you ambots do this when you have no defence to the truth you’re quick to lie and put others down.<br /><br />If you really lost 120 pounds congratulations that is quite an accomplishment. That makes it all the more surprising that someone who was so grossly overweight would come on to my blog and accuse all of us of being overweight. I would think that someone in your shoes would be more sympathetic to overweight people. Oh but I forgot. You’re an Amway IBO and that means you don’t give a shit about anyone or anything except for your greedy endeavors.<br /><br />I think you’re just another lying ambot. If you were really making that kind of money you would prove it to us by providing a link to your tax return. All ambots lie about how much they’re making.<br /><br />You spend $600 a month on “healthy” Amway products? Holy fuck! Yesterday I went to the produce stand and bought a sack of potatoes, a sack of onions, a bag of apples, grapes, bananas, strawberries, avocados, sweet potatoes, oranges, celery, carrots, mushrooms, and tomatoes (and probably a couple of other things that don’t come right to my mind) for $21. Including fresh weekly produce my monthly grocery bill is around $200. Which one of us is coming out ahead on this one for buying healthy products?<br /><br />Just about every company around offers refunds. Refunds is hardly an original exclusive idea that only Amway has come up with no matter what your cult leaders might tell you!Anna Bananahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05373457126465029723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623443549536997676.post-91745760342299420862011-10-20T01:17:47.071-07:002011-10-20T01:17:47.071-07:00You are all just really sad probably overweight PO...You are all just really sad probably overweight POOR people. I been an IBO for 3 years now work when and where I want take vacations as I see them make over $8,000 a month bonuses of $15,000 a year I lost 120 pounds from the weight loss plan in 1 year I got 2 kids I'm 26 and I just bought my first house. Funny thing is that I only buy $600 OF HEALTHY core products from my business and they give me the rest for my loyalty and for other people I help. Sometimes it worth the cost to be healthy but the rewards your reap out weigh the cost. helping people to be healthy is not a crime. And if you don't like the product they give you your money back no questiones asked. Now tell me if you can do that ANYWHERE ELSE!

Ha! That's great! <br /><br />Yeah you probably all got the speech about how you made it in Amway you'd have all the time you wanted to spend with your kids. That the reason you're building this business is for your kids. That type of brainwashing. As you said you never get to see your kids because you're so busy building the business. Out at meetings every night. Weekend seminars. At the beck and call of the upline just in case they need someone to do errands for them or house or yard work. <br /><br />Stay in Amway for longer than a couple of months and risk destroying all relationships.Anna Bananahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05373457126465029723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623443549536997676.post-11224613900846248252011-07-08T04:21:34.332-07:002011-07-08T04:21:34.332-07:00Our upline paid for our daughter's airline tic...Our upline paid for our daughter's airline ticket and paid her a wage to stay w/their baby the entire function. She would wonder the halls of the hotel w/baby in the stroller and she actually met some of the highest diamonds in wwdb - Ron Puryear, etc. Of course, she had no idea who these people were and she was her usual pleasant self and didn't slobber all over them. <br /><br />I would imagine they thought she was refreshing.<br /><br />She would describe who she had met and we would all be gaga! She couldn't have cared less.<br /><br />But, yes, people brought their children w/them to the majors. You gotta remember, you never see your kids when you build amway and you get desparate at the thought of asking your parents again to babysit the weekend. That gets old. Not only do you have no life, now you'll stolen it from family members as well.<br /><br />And how about the fact that we just plain miss our children? I've talked with ibos who have been in 20+ years and they ache with the pain of having lost their kids b/c of the business and never being home. <br /><br />amway and all mlms are so much more destructive than people know. <br /><br />CASSETTE TAPEAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623443549536997676.post-77926619233742069722011-07-07T17:52:37.798-07:002011-07-07T17:52:37.798-07:00That's good news for both of you on the weight...That's good news for both of you on the weight loss. At least this time around you're actually losing weight instead of your money.<br /><br />The upline wanted to know all marital secrets. I told them to fuck off it was none of their damn business. I'm not so sure all that Ambot might have blabbed though. Clearly with my attitude the upline wanted me out of there and worked hard at Ambot to get him to leave me. When that didn't work they held a prayerfest that I would find another man and leave him.

Most people need some sort of support system while losing weight and Amway doesn't offer that other than to buy more of their food bars and drinks. <br /><br />Ambot was on Weight Watchers when we met so I'm kind of familiar with the point system and I know they have grocery items available in the stores now. That's a more realistic type diet showing people how to deal with real food and making your own choices. If you're not saying how much weight your wife lost then she's not doing as good as you!

I also put it back on plus 18 lbs more. I had no strategy for keeping it off. Their plan has no long term strategy which teaches better eating and exercise habits to keep the weight off. I guess if they included that, the sales would suffer. The diet was horrible, with eating the overpriced protein bars and drinking the overpriced protein shakes. The 2 day "induction period" was the pits also!<br />My wife and I joined weight watchers in January. We eat our own food and go to weekly meetings to be weighed and receive support and tips on diet and exercise. I have lost 25 lbs since joining and I don't feel one bit deprived of the foods I enjoy! I can have pizza, but not the WHOLE pizza and still lose weight.

We were totally exhausted and the service was always 3 hrs. People were silly stupid tired. I felt so sorry for them. Many brought their babies and spent the service out in the halls trying to quiet them.<br /><br />The Goads would do the worship service and it seemed like just another performance. There was nothing you could sing along to. It all felt so phony. Usually Dave Severn would preach and he would go on about how amway was from God, etc.<br /><br />It was always freezing at amway functions and I spent the entire service trying to stay warm. My only hope was knowing this was the last day. I would start counting down the hours to 4pm cuz' that's when I would go under the bleachers and change into my jeans and tenniies. Now THAT was heaven. But, I sure did get some nasty looks. By that time, my exhaustion level brought out a level of 'dare' I didn't think possible for me, I would look right back at them and silently tell them to bring it on. You don't want to mess with me when I'm tired.<br /><br />When the day finally ended, we would race to the airport. Ah, the fun.

Amway gives approximately $10 back for every $300 spent. $600 Yikes! As you said, gym membership for a year. I'd say your experience is typical other than you stuck out the Amway diet for 2 months. I can see the motivation - pay that kind of money you want to lose some weight. Unfortunately the only thing you lost was your time and money! Most diets have about 95% failure rate. Amway is a system designed for failure in more ways that one.Anna Bananahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05373457126465029723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623443549536997676.post-54309962922779882082011-07-06T01:25:20.566-07:002011-07-06T01:25:20.566-07:00Amway is basically a religion of greed.

Their "god" says that the whole purpose of life is the pursuit of material things, by whatever means necessary... deceit, lies, trickery, using other people. In Amway, the further "upline" a person is, the closer to "god-like" qualities they have, thus they worship and fawn over them.<br /><br />I sure hope your girlfriend, crodriguez, can shake the brainwashing and get back in touch with the real world. But the more they are "indoctrinated" at the meetings and seminars, as well as by the CD's and books, the less open they are to thinking for themselves, or listening to others outside their "new" family (Amway) trying to reason with them exposing the truths about Amway. Just as a religious cult works to close their ears to old friends and family (the "devil" speaks through them), Amway warns them that anyone speaking against Amway are "dream stealers", losers, negative thinkers, etc. Cults twist logic and thinking. Questions are usually answered with questions (a tactic to avoid giving answers they don't want to share), and they will confuse and dance around others with apples and oranges analogies. <br />Anna is right. If you are not "on board" with the Amway scam, then Amway will work at poisoning your girlfriend's mind against you. You are a threat to them getting at her money. They only want mindless drones who do whatever they tell them to do and only want to please their Amway family. A "new" family who will use her to suck her finances dry and as a tool to pull in other new suckers as fresh meat to devour. <br /><br />~DaveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
