My story of what its like to be married to an Amway cult follower. I expose the lies that our upline told and what happens at Amway meetings and functions. I leave the explanations of why Amway is a poor business opportunity or the tool scam to other bloggers. This blog mainly exists to curse out my former upline, aka the cult leaders, and to let everyone know what kind of idiots I had to put up with. Feel free to join in or live vicariously!

No Pressure, No Embarrassment
6 comments:
Comments are moderated but we publish just about everything. Even brainwashed ambots who show up here to accuse us of not trying hard enough and that we are lazy, quitters, negative, unchristian dreamstealers. Like we haven’t heard that Amspeak abuse from the assholes in our upline!
If your comment didn’t get published it could be one of these reasons:
1. Is it the weekend? We don’t moderate comments on weekends. Maybe not every day during the week either. Patience.
2. Racist/bigoted comments? Take that shit somewhere else.
3. Naming names? Public figures like politicians and actors and people known in Amway are probably OK – the owners, Diamonds with CDs or who speak at functions, people in Amway’s publicity department who write press releases and blogs. Its humiliating for people to admit their association with Amway so respect their privacy if they’re not out there telling everyone about the love of their life.
4. Gossip that serves no purpose. There are other places to dish about what Diamonds are having affairs or guessing why they’re getting divorced. If you absolutely must share that here – don’t name names. I get too many nosy ambots searching for this. Lets not help them find this shit.
5. Posting something creepy anonymously and we can’t track your location because you’re on a mobile device or using hide my ass or some other proxy. I attracted an obsessed fan and one of my blog administrators attracted a cyberstalker. Lets keep it safe for everyone. Anonymous is OK. Creepy anonymous and hiding – go fuck yourselves!
6. Posting something that serves no purpose other than to cause fighting.
7. Posting bullshit Amway propaganda. We might publish that comment to make fun of you. Otherwise take your agenda somewhere else. Not interested.
8. Notice how this blog is written in English? That's our language so keep your comments in English too. If you leave a comment written in another language then we either have to use Google translate to put it into English so everyone can understand what you wrote or we can hit the Delete button. Guess which one is easier for us to do?
9. We suspect you're a troublemaking Amway asshole.
10. Your comment got caught in the spam filter. Gets checked occasionally. We’ll get to you eventually and approve it as long as it really isn’t spam.
Did your hubby have to get permission from the upline for big ticket items like a car or a trip?.
ReplyDeleteColin - I bought a used newer model car about 3 months before Ambot signed up with Amway again so I dodged the bullet on that one!
ReplyDeleteSeeing as how I'd refused to have anything to do with the sack of shit Platinum for several months before our trip if he'd wanted permission or denied it I would have given him shit supreme like he's never heard before. Ambot was already on the shit list because he hadn't paid for the next function. The Platinum had told everyone at the meeting that no one was going home until they paid. Ambot told him he couldn't hold people hostage against their will and was the only one who got up, pushed past the bouncer, and left. The writing was on the wall after that. The cult leader was losing control.
Anna: I wonder if the fact that Ambot was being held against his will and that he had to get past a bouncer to leave without paying for the next function constitutes "unlawful imprisonment". I suppose the criteria varies from state to state. I'm just putting this idea forth to further show how far these cult leaders will go.
ReplyDeleteThe bouncer was crossline and a big boy too. Probably could have got a job as a sumu wrestler! That's what Ambot challenged the Platinum on - being held hostage and the ransom was payment for the next function. Those cult leaders do a whole lot worse than this.
ReplyDeleteI still have a full blown feeling of rancor against the statement "check upline!" they end up meddling in everything in people's live.
ReplyDeleteOnce we had to do a major and necessary costly home repair. somehow my upline got wind of this afterwards. i didn't bring it up so it presented a difficulty for him to wing it into a "counseling" session. his piteous overture implied not to have effected the repair work was pathetic. by then i had my mental grip and wits. it was hilarious to watch him struggle with words in that "session", for such a garrulous guy. part of the reason, he lived in an apartment - what did he know about home ownership?
Speaking of being wordy why do uplines talk too much (or was i just unlucky and stuck with such?) it's horrendous how these goofball ambots are supposed experts on everything!
ExAmbot - I wrote a post last year about getting permission. Similar problem. I mean what do these upline bastards want us homeowners to do when we realize our hot water tank is leaking or the furnace is not working well. I'm of the mind to fix it before it can become a bigger problem - like coming home one day to a flood. Upline disagrees and thinks we should live in conditions that affect our health. That was what did me in for the Platinum. This was his last time of meddling. I refused to have anything to do with him again after that.
