A reader shares their experiences of being in the WWG World Wide Group also known as WWDB World Wide Dream Builders better known to us as World Wide Destructive Bastards. This is Amway’s most abusive cult sects.
So my wife and I were with WWG a training and mentoring
program for Amway for the last 2 years. We have recently walked away from the
organization due to a few things that I never could agree with. I wanted to
reach out to this community because I’m sure there will be people who will
search for answers while deciding to join or not.
Positives
He are a few things that I did like about WWG. I really loved the mentoring in
life situations. You have such a big group of people that there was always
someone who went through what you were going through and had great advice. I
did enjoyed the book list they had because the books were great for growing
personally & great low price. Honestly, that’s the only two things I truly
liked.
Negatives (this is my person experience)
The first thing that I truly didn’t like was the way we had to be sly when
talking to a potential business partner. We weren’t allowed to give to much
information and there couldn’t be any mention of Amway or WWG. When someone
asked what company we work for we would say “We work with a few company’s like
Nike, Apple...etc” which were all associated with Amway. I always felt like
that was lying because we worked for Amway but that was how we were trained and
it was always brought up to us “why change something that has made others
successful”.
The next thing that bugged me was that when someone was involved in their
church or community the upline would always “suggest” to stop everything until
you grow your business. Being a christian I couldn’t agree with that since
having fellowship with others is very important. It was not only that but they
made/ suggested us to miss weddings / family events / work events.. pretty much
anything that wasn’t for the business.
Then there are the major functions that drain your accounts because they are
every quarter, plus the rallies which are if I remember every quarter and then
there are 2nd looks. The only thing that was free were the house meeting every
other week. Before we joined they helped setup a budgeting sheet to save money
but I never saw that money because it went to all the events and products. I am
still using the budgeting but now that I am not paying for functions / hotels /
communikate and the WWG app I am starting to see my saving go up and able to
clean my debt up.
The next thing what really got to me was the way my wife began looking at me.
She would always tell me for the last two years “When you go out and meet
people and grow the business, that when I know you are fighting for our family”
It really made me feel like crap because I would over 40/hrs a week to support
my family but that wasn’t “Fighting” to her. We got into a lot of fights
because of Amway.
The fighting is what lead up to my wife and I separating for about a month and
a half. what made it worse so none of our upline ever wondered what happened to
us. Once they didn’t see any PV coming through it all the “doing Life together”
“always being there for us” all disappeared.
That is my personal experience with Amway / WWG. If your able to put all of
your time / money into it, remove all relationships besides IBO’s then this is
the business for you.
It wasn’t for me and I am happy to report that my wife and I are back together,
we are no longer part of Amway and I am perusing a business that I am
passionate about and don’t have to be “sly” about.

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.
