A reader tells us about life
with an ambot boyfriend.
My boyfriend joined amway over the summer and has increasingly become
defensive about it when I mention that it's weird and how I refuse to join.
This is the only thing we fight about and I avoid talking about it at all
costs! He's now starting to find negative things that come out of my mouth. One
time I yelled at him about it and he apologized and said I wasn't negative. But
he'll ask me to join. This last time we fought he told me that if I said no
this time, he'll leave me alone about joining. He hasn't mentioned it since but
I'm scared that this will come up again. He promised he'd never leave me for
this and because of this and tht I'm being too paranoid. I don't show any
support for this. He's actually in the process of applying for real corporate
jobs and I'm praying that this is my only hope in him waking up and realizing
its a scam. When people ask him "what do you do for a living?" He
mentions NOTHiNG about it and says he's looking for a job, and if someone asks
him about why he's been out of town for a "conference" he says
"it's for a little side thing I'm doing." ... Those are SOME good
signs but I'm having anxiety attacks when he goes to their weekly brainwash
sessions and when he's at a conference. I'm walking on thin ice. If I don't
show support for amway maybe he can start noticing what I see in it... Or he
can think I'm not supporting him. Help :-(
Yup boyfriend shows the classic Amway ambot symptoms. Ambots are angry
despicable bastards and make life hell for the people around them.
All Amway ambots get defensive. That’s the life of the ambot constantly showing
their devotion to the Amway cult and how dare anyone not like Amway and not
support their business. HOW DARE THEY!!!!! Amway ambots put a lot of effort
into defending this scam and that makes them ANGRY.
Amway is king of all things negative. Amway ambots are obsessed with pointing
out everything in the world that is negative. The rest of the world doesn’t
seem to have this finger pointing thing down. What’s negative to one person
isn’t too another. People in the real world learn to tolerate negatives maybe
they read a book called Don’t Sweat The Small Stuff. People in the real world
don’t have to pick pick pick at everything and bitch about things they think
are negative. People in Amway make all things negative their life’s mission.
Really an Amway ambot pointing out everything around them that is negative –
there’s nothing unusual about that. They all do that. Amway ambots pointing out
everything they perceive to be negative is how they make themselves feel
superior to the rest of the world. The rest of the world perceives Amway ambots
to be negative.
Amway ambots calling other people paranoid? Look in the mirror ambot!
Yeah an ambot will need a corporate job to afford being in the expensive Amway
social club. No one in Amway admits to being in Amway because that’s just so
fucking embarrassing admitting that you got suckered into this MLM cult and you’re
out to scam people and recruit new cult members. Its better to say you’re
unemployed.
And when we’re married to an ambot or dating one or living with one we’re
always walking on thin ice. We’re fearful of saying the wrong thing like GET
THE FUCK OUT OF AMWAY!!!!! and have the ambot anger directed our way. Ambots
are the most angry people around. They’re angry because they’re losing money.
Angry because they can’t find others to join up to the scam and make some money
back. Angry they’re being abused by the cult followers they love and worship
more than anything else in their lives. Angry because they’re ordered by their
cult leaders to hang out with other fucking Amway assholes.
Here’s the good news. 95% of IBO’s quit Amway within 2 years. Most within a few
months of signing up. You just got to wait them out and that can be hell with
them nitpicking and finding everything negative about you they can point out
and they only do that to please their upline. Sometimes you got to wait them
out by watching them max out their credit cards and spend all their savings.
Some can bounce back even if it takes them years. Others have to declare
bankruptcy and go into foreclosure if they have a mortgage.
Amway is all about destroying relationships. The cult leaders turn the ambots
into nasty, ugly, negative pointing out bastards so the people around them take
a hike. That’s what Amway is all about. Sorry to say your story can be told
nearly word for word by every Amway widow out there.
To the girl who told the story:
ReplyDeleteIf your boyfriend lands a solid corporate job, marry him.
If he sticks with Amway, dump him.
I'm going to recommend a passive/aggressive type of stance from the girlfriend here. What I would love for her to do is sit back and relax and notate every skeptical, irregularity she sees (and there will be a lot of them...like, "why do they always say the same thing?" or, "how come they make you pay for Amway products to bring to conferences, but these people don't have Amway products during food events?"...you know, little things like that.
ReplyDeleteAnd then when the time comes, dump a huge treasure-trove of FACT and TRUTH in the guy's lap and she needs to make her argument airtight. That won't be difficult to do.
The problem is that many Amway freaks simply do not respond to logical argument and facts. They are trained to disregard them as "negative thinking."
DeleteThat's right Anonymous. Amway Ambots have a canned Amspeak response for just about every argument out there. The facts don't count when you're in the Amway cult.
