When we were inside the Amway cult we were told to stick
pictures of new cars, dream homes, and other material possessions on the
refrigerator.
First of all I don’t like stuff stuck on my fridge. I’ve chucked out my fair
share of tacky fridge magnets over the years.
Second even if I did like shit stuck all over my fridge it would be photos of
my family not pictures of things I covet.
It just stinks of greed to stick photos of sailboats, Ferraris, and Hearst
Castle on the fridge. Do these photos really help IBO’s achieve these dreams or
do they serve as a sad reminder that their bank accounts are diminishing while
they grasp for the dreams their upline has brainwashed them into believing
they’ll own one day?
Amway: the cult of greed.
Back in the days before computers and phones with online calendars I used to
buy a day planner each year to keep our lives organized. At the front of the
planner is a place to write down goals and a target date. Sometimes I’d have to
carry them over from the previous year. Then I was supposed to slot time in my
planner daily or weekly to spend time accomplishing these goals. Somewhere in
my past I remember hearing that if people write their goals down they have a
higher success rate of achieving them than those who don’t write them down and
this is why I wrote down my goals. And sure enough as the year came to a close
and I was switching off planners I’d see that I’d either accomplished my goals
or was on the way to doing so.
Mostly the goals were bettering myself professionally or personally but one
year I did have something on my list that was an object - a red car I wanted.
It didn’t happen that year so I carried that goal over into the next year and
that’s when I did buy the car. Different color so I didn’t quite meet my goal.
I changed my mind on the color I wanted when I was at the dealership. But I
never had a picture of that car stuck on my fridge.
Can you imagine what an Amway ambot writes in their goals: Go Diamond! Freedom!
Flush that stinking job!
So why does the upline want you to play greedy Gretchen and stick photos on the
fridge of the things you dream about owning?
That’s just how life is when you get sucked into this scam. Amway: the cult of
greed.

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.
