A
reader shares his experience at Amway cult meetings:
THANK YOU…I had a friend (reference on the word
HAD), he took me to three of these meetings. Once on a Tuesday night, then on a
Friday, and the last on a Sunday night, and it reminded me a bit about the Waco
Texas massacre!
All they talked about was being positive, having a positive drive; devoid
yourself of NEGATIVE emotions, any negative thoughts need not be in your mind.
Think ahead, THINK BIG, HOPE LARGE, LIVE POSITIVE! Hear positive, see positive,
stay positive…everything in this business IS POSITIVE! Act happy, smile, laugh,
MAKE LOTS OF FRIENDS, show them your products, introduce them to the business,
and make them feel welcomed. Tell them how great this venture is, make sure
they know how BIG your hitting being a part of this business! He also said,
“remember, everyone out there STILL has a boss, they still have debt, they have
no personal time, they rarely see their spouse (if they’re married). Go out
there and make them wonder what they’re missing out on by not being a part of
something like this!”
What freaked me out the most was his next comment… “remember, if you’re even a
tad-bit negative, please leave, the doors are wide open, DON’T COME BACK…in
this business, there is no such thing as depression, the media tells you you’re
depressed…in this business, there is no such thing as anger or rage, the people
out there convince you you’re angry or enraged…in this business, there is no
such thing as skepticism, that is something our education-system has since
forever promoted…IN THIS BUSINESS, THERE IS JUST YOU, AND WILL-POWER TO CHANGE,
TO BETTER YOURSELF, TO BE AS BIG AS THE WORLD, TO GO AS HIGH AS THE SKY, TO
BUILD THE NEW YOU OUT OF THE ASHES, IN THIS BUSINESS THERE IS ONLY DRIVE,
SUCCESS, THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE IT BIG AND TELL YOUR BOSS HE CAN KEEP HIS JOB,
TO MANAGE YOUR OWN RETIREMENT, TO WORK ONCE A MONTH IF YOU FEEL LIKE…ect.
I left at around 10:47pm, we’ve been there since seven, afterwards I was
introduced to some BIG shots. They asked if I would be joining, and if not…why
not? I simply said the meeting felt like a revival (EEeeek), they just frowned.
I also added I loved my job, and loved what I would be doing after I finish
school.
The whole thing about being positive 24/7 is just not me…SOMETIMES I’m very
NEGATIVE!!!!!!!!!
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!

The Amway Cult Is Way Out There
2 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.
If this guy's story doesn't prove to you that Amway is essentially a revivalist cult, nothing will convince you.
ReplyDeleteThe entire Amway thing is fueled by hype, razz-ma-tazz, hoopla, mindless enthusiasm, rah-rah-let's-go-team speeches, and wishful thinking.
You can't have the slightest doubt, you can't raise a single objection, you can't offer the smallest criticism. Everything has to be POSITIVE!!
These Amway freaks have simply turned off their brains, and have become Norman Vincent Peale androids.
Anonymous - the more people who share their Amway cult experiences online means we should be able to prevent many others from getting sucked into ScAmway. Amway freaks turn off their brains and become Ambots.
