In your case a vacation. Another woman wrote in that they had to move to another state. Might be drastic but something I thought about doing too. Desperate times (putting up with Amway assholes hellbent on destroying our lives and finances) mean desperate measures. Of course if you'd been in Amway you would have had to ask permission from the assholes in your upline to take that vacation and to have a baby. I'm sure you can guess what the answer would be. Anything that takes money away from the Great Amway God will never be granted permission. Good to hear you're happy. Always happy once you get Amway out of your life!

Luckily for me, after several months and an cross continent vacation, I was able to break him AWAY from Scamway!!! We've been happy ever since!!! We had a baby, and we even have money to provide a decent life for him! We both recieved promotions at work and are working getting another one soon.

That includes what you've observed telling stories, quoting famous people, making the crowd laugh, and getting the crowd involved in a game of "do you agree". <br /><br />That 18 year old is the same as every ambot I've seen at Amway meetings. And he was probably screaming "Yeah" and "right on" and "freedom" at the appropriate moments too. Yup all ambots rush down to gladhand the Amway cult leaders leading the sermon.<br /><br />I've had many parents of Ambots show up here and talk about their tough love, basically telling the Ambot he can't live in their house any more as long as he's in Amway. Its due to the ambot's attitude. In all cases they put their parents down because they're not business owners and their attitude that they're better than their parents because they're in Amway.<br /><br />Nothing's worse than living with a brainwashed Ambot and their lousy attitudes.Anna Bananahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05373457126465029723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623443549536997676.post-63362989949855085002014-12-01T14:00:07.607-08:002014-12-01T14:00:07.607-08:00Makes me think of my first 'bored' plan! T...Makes me think of my first 'bored' plan! The guy was very charismatic, so of course he was quoting famous people, making the crowd laugh, and saying things that got "hmmmm" and "ahhhh" from the audience (and some eye rolls from me). I have to admit, he was pretty funny, but nothing made me cringe more than the 18 year old sitting next to me whispering everything under his breath. Poor kid was probably fresh out of high school. Afterwards there was the chat, and my friend pulled me and my husband up to meet this guy. Sure enough, I saw the same kid trying to weasel up to meet the speaker. Finally, he broke through the crowd and asked "my parents don't think this is a good idea. They think I should go to school and focus on educating myself. What should I say?" Yes, I thought, ask the ambit who is ALSO uneducated what he thinks you should tell your parents. The ambit stood up straight, looked the young man in the eye and said "tell them; mom, dad, it's time for you to trust your parenting skills and let me prove to you I am entering the adult world with my best foot forward." He nodded with a brightness in his eyes while mine were rolling so hard I swear I bruised my retinas. I hope his parents don't let him "enter the adult world" on their payroll.<br /><br />-OllieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623443549536997676.post-4583606407160982572014-11-21T09:04:36.642-08:002014-11-21T09:04:36.642-08:00Yup the Amway cult leader will always shower prais...Yup the Amway cult leader will always shower praise on the ambots who get sucked into the Amway tool scam like they're going places, about to go big in Amway, serious business builder and all the other bullshit Amspeak.Anna Bananahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05373457126465029723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623443549536997676.post-21314272501869007432014-11-20T15:00:15.916-08:002014-11-20T15:00:15.916-08:00It was one dork in ten of our group of young guys....It was one dork in ten of our group of young guys.

The thing is that many ambots get recruited into the Amway cult by a person they already know and trust and they get hyped up by the rah rah bullshit at Amway cult meetings and the love bombing and how everyone is going to make big money that they're logistical abilities go out the window.Anna Bananahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05373457126465029723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623443549536997676.post-64000983706779553962014-11-19T10:12:48.845-08:002014-11-19T10:12:48.845-08:00All these are great points.
