Glad you've been enjoying the b...Hello Mr Chow! Glad you've been enjoying the blog and thanks for sharing your story with us. Students are definitely prime prospects for the Amway cult because they're usually too young to have heard of Amway. Ask your parents or grandparents! LOL! But you did what someone your age would do and hit the Internet looking for more information. The Amway cult is very secretive and I know that whoever was prospecting you told you not to mention the A word and not to talk about it to anyone and not to search the Internet and probably some bullshit about it being a bathroom wall which makes me wonder where Ambots are taking dumps! LOL! NO. Not really. I don't give a shit! Get it! LOL!<br /><br />As you discovered at Amway meetings the people are nice. What you failed to mention was they're overly nice and overly attentive and all over you, right. It's called love bombing, a common cult tactic.<br /><br />Bad jokes that everyone in the room laughs at to pump up their Amway cult leader. They were probably chanting stuff too like "right on" and "yeah" and "freedom" while the cult leader was preaching.<br /><br />Love it that you're an accounting student and sniffed out the scam pretty quick. According to Amway cult leaders everything in Amway can be written off. Everything! As an accounting student you know that you can't write off food and drinks and vitamins that you consume yourself and those are the big sellers that the upline pushes on you to buy. Our accountant refused to look at any Amway invoices we have saying they don't deal with pyramid schemes. Do you know the IRS has a section devoted to dealing with Amway IBO's, had to write up a separate handbook and Uncle Sam has determined that Amway is an expensive social club and lots of ambots are getting audited. <br /><br />If that girl is a devoted ambot she won't have anything to do with you, not allowed by the cult leaders to associate with people outside Amway. But come on, you can do better than a woman who's wasting her time and money on a scam can't you!<br /><br />Good luck to you!Anna Bananahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05373457126465029723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623443549536997676.post-41835153944462640682015-10-18T08:18:45.452-07:002015-10-18T08:18:45.452-07:00This blog has been amazing entertainment for me th...This blog has been amazing entertainment for me this weekend! I am also a recent escapee from the clutches of Amway. I had never heard of them before up until Friday night. <br /><br />I am a 3rd year accounting student that was in the hunt for internships and job opportunities. With that said, I'm basically chum in the water for them. Was not long until an oddly happy fellow started talking to me and gave me a book on business by some Kiyosaki guy. I also got invited to some super special business meeting.<br /><br />I skimmed over the book and I was kind of scratching my head afterwards. The book had good bit of chapter topics on non-business/finance for being a business/finance book. Not to mention, this book didn't look like it had any concrete suggestions on actual business/financial/accounting activities. <br /><br />Well, I went to the meeting anyways, and was just mingling with a few people before the meeting started. They seemed nice overall, a few of them were about age between 20-30 yrs old. There was also a cute girl there and I talked to her for a bit up until the meeting started. At this point I was thinking, this isn't so bad! I get to meet a few nice people and maybe get this girl's number. What can go wrong?<br /><br />The speaker was all happy go lucky and tried many attempts to weave in jokes through out the presentation. Everyone was laughing at these terrible jokes with terrible punchlines. This was confusing the hell out of me, I was literally thinking to myself, have I lost my sense of humor because I've been studying accounting/finance too much? I worked in pathetic attempts to try to laugh at the jokes just to not look weird..<br /><br />Amway could have hooked me along for a few meetings and might have even me gotten me to shell out $$ from my alcohol/cigarette/ramen funds. Until this bloke blew it and decided to talk about financial strategies and taxes! As soon as he said "anything that doesn't bring in a cashflow income is a liability" I knew this was a scam from that point on. He went on the presentation, talking about being taxed less while following this "business model". Finally the nail in the coffin was when this sorry bloke said, "the best part about this business, there is almost 0 expenses and overhead!"<br /><br />Frankly I was insulted that these scammers think they could get away with creating new meanings to accounting/finance terminology and try to sell me on having a 6 figure income from a business with no almost expenses. I told the recruiter a few days ago that I am an ACCOUNTING STUDENT. If they had used just used the words correctly I might have actually went for a round 2 meeting next week, granted I got that girl's number. But I guess not! <br /><br />I am Mr. Chowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10731257133840166959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623443549536997676.post-33221447356272339192015-10-16T10:04:31.874-07:002015-10-16T10:04:31.874-07:00LOL!LOL!Anna Bananahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05373457126465029723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623443549536997676.post-42333626268125310462015-10-15T18:15:11.545-07:002015-10-15T18:15:11.545-07:0013.

The stupid grin is when the ambot is out prospecting and trying to scam others to join the Amway cult. At actual cult meetings the ambots aren't grinning. Most of them look pretty angry. Especially me for being stuck in a room of lying scamming Amway losers.Anna Bananahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05373457126465029723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623443549536997676.post-6885412758997076192015-10-15T15:57:28.510-07:002015-10-15T15:57:28.510-07:00Hi Anonymous.

At least you got out if Scamway before too much damage was done and you sound like you're young enough to bounce back financially and emotionally. Theres some sad stories online frim seniors who squandered the reirement savings away on those shitty overlriced Amway products and many stories of bankruptcy, foreclosure, divorce, etc. Good luck getting that job you want - but Ambots would sneer at you for that one.Anna Bananahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05373457126465029723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623443549536997676.post-47430667942181411462015-10-15T07:04:52.922-07:002015-10-15T07:04:52.922-07:00This person's experience merely confirms what ...This person's experience merely confirms what is now common knowledge about Amway and all of its various side-shows like Quixtar and WWDB. It isn't primarily a business in any legitimate sense. IT IS A SICK RELIGIOUS CULT.<br /><br />Here are some twelve characteristic signs of being in the Amway religious cult:<br /><br />1) You go around with a Big Stupid Grin on your face.<br /><br />2) You refuse to take seriously anyone who isn't a member of the Amway cult.<br /><br />3) You force yourself to "think positive" about anything and everything, even in the face of hard evidence.<br /><br />4) You dismiss any criticism or questioning of the cult, no matter how valid or convincing the criticism might be.<br /><br />5) You put the Amway cult before anything else in life, including your family, your health, and your finances.<br /><br />6) You go around like a Jehovah's Witness or a Scientologist trying to convert strangers by bothering them in public places.<br /><br />7) You espouse an ignorant, crackerbarrel, profit-obsessed Evangelical Christianity, without any reference at all to real Christianity's emphasis on sacrifice, atonement, charity, and the blessedness of poverty.<br /><br />8) You pride yourself on being a dimwitted provincial jackass who is maniacally fixated on selling mediocre Amway crap and getting other poor jerks to do the same. <br /><br />9) You devoutly attend religious services (Amway business meetings) where you listen for hours as some overenthused asshole orates on how Amway is the answer to every problem in your life.<br /><br />10) Your entire outlook is purely materialistic and consumerist, without a bit of concern for anything cultural, aesthetic, or literary.<br /><br />11) You worship Charlie Marsh, Bill Britt, and Dexter Yager as the new Holy Trinity.<br /><br />12) You think your up-line is The Voice of God.<br /><br />Can anyone deny that these aren't sure-fire signs of a religious cult? It's true that some religious cults can be beautiful and moving and profoundly wise. But the Amway Cult is crude, vulgar, petty, trivial, and degrading.<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623443549536997676.post-10678486368336531752015-10-15T05:53:46.082-07:002015-10-15T05:53:46.082-07:00Man, this takes me back....:

No one new popping up Diamond. Emerald still Emerald. Upline DD divorced. Awesome young attractive Emerald couple that was supposed to be diamond years ago, now a single mom? I'm confused and it kind of depresses me. <br /><br />Oh well, I'm a few years inactive from the 'business.' <br /><br />Reading your blog takes me back. Shit I used to have $5000 in the savings, but those little hits here and there and living situations changes expenses so you must maintain 100PV from your DITTO of 300+ all the while getting rejected more than the awkward desperate guy at the club. Shit. What the fuck. Sorry about the late night ramble. Now I have a fun simple well-paying tip based job while applying for a government career that hopefully nets me that 'close to six figure' income! All the while not spending 10 hours a week for meetings after exhausting work and buying shit I didn't buy! <br /><br />Time to get that 5 digits back in savings again...
