At some of the major functions I attended I often heard the
speakers from stage refer to the husband as a warrior. The man would call
himself a warrior fighting for his family’s financial future. And the wife,
good little Barbie Ambot, would look adoringly at her husband and sigh “My
warrior.”
Too sickening even for a paperback romance novel!
Amway warriors. Off to fight a war. Of course the big battle is signing up new
IBO’s and convincing other people to buy overpriced Amway products.
Ambot would be so fired up after getting home from the function that he’d often
send me text messages signed “love, your warrior”.
I’m a pacifist. This blog isn’t the venue to get into a political discussion on
any wars or civil unrest going on in the world but suffice it to say that
pacifists oppose fighting and war and therefore the term warrior is not such a
popular choice to sway any pacifists.
I couldn’t possibly be the only pacifist in a stadium with 10,000 people or
however many the stadium holds.
Warriors! Sounds like a game kids play.
Maybe somebody else has better insight on why Amway Diamonds call themselves
warriors. Off to war. Fighting a battle against those who oppose the Amway
scam.
I came across a post written by a blogger who calls himself the 8pm Warrior
where he discusses if MLM is a good opportunity for 8pm warriors. http://8pmwarrior.com/2011/01/is-multi-level-marketing-mlm-a-good-opportunity-for-8pm-warriors/
Edited to add – that’s a dead link but it was good the first time this post
appeared! The website has done an overhaul and now it’s more about thoughts
from an 8pm warrior. 8pmwarrior.com
First off I want to say I love the name “8pm Warrior”. That is so true of Amway
Ambots marching off to their 8pm cult meetings. This blogger is not an Amway
IBO but when I first heard of him I thought he might be which is why I took a
peek.
This particular post got a few comments including several from a “James” who
admits to 10+ year involvement in Quixtar/Amway. He writes rather lengthy
responses explaining his point of view as an IBO. A lot of typical Amway speak.
To give the guy credit his responses are well written and thought out but for
all I know he’s copied and pasted from similar posts that he plasters all over
the Internet. Years ago Joecool had a blog visitor named James leaving similar
comments and responses to his posts. I can’t help thinking it might be the same
guy because he invites others to contact him to further discuss the Amway
opportunity. So did the poster named James who commented on Joecool’s blogs.
Doesn’t really matter one way or the other except that Joecool’s “James” has
not been heard of in a long time and I wondered if this was him resurfacing.
Amway warriors? Go to bed little boys.
Consider this: Why would this guy James have to show up at anti-Amway blogs to write long defenses of the Amway racket? If the business were actually worthwhile and profitable, nobody in it would bother composing lengthy blog postings about it! They would just work the business, make money, and be happy with that. When you're happily making a living, you tend to keep your mouth shut.
ReplyDeleteThe mere fact that idiots like IBO Fartback and James went to the trouble to post defenses of Amway everyplace they could is proof that there is SOMETHING WRONG with the Amway business. Profitable businesses don't need to be defended in print!
The real truth is this: most people fail in Amway, and therefore it is an absolute necessity for Amway partisans to keep on posting pro-Amway propaganda everywhere, as a way to prevent some of those failures from realizing what is happening to them. Failure is so common and predictable in Amway that its partisans must struggle constantly to convince IBOs that the entire racket will pay off some day.
Does the Coca-Cola company need to have its publicists go on line to defend the operations of the firm? Do they need to have paid flacks show up at anti-Coca-Cola websites to argue about how the company runs its business, or to defend its products?
But then again, Coca-Cola is a real business, not a disguised pyramid scheme for losers. Pyramid schemes need loudmouth defenders; real businesses don't.
Anonymous - most reputable companies don't hire schills to go all over the Internet making assholes of themselves to defend the company from unfavorable commentary. But then Amway is no reputable company LOL!
DeleteDoes Coca Cola hire people to show up at Pepsi forums online and spout off propaganda? If someone is dead set against drinking Coke, then there's no point in blowing up at them all the reasons why they should drink Coke. Plenty of other customers out there are buying the product.
Customers can make their own informed decisions after trying products and what they'll continue to buy or will never spend good money on again.
If a product is of good quality and a good price point the company doesn't need to make assholes out of themselves promoting their goods and insulting people who don't like their stuff. You can't win them all.
Amway has their own way of doing things. Making assholes of themselves all over the Internet just supports what people say about Ambots - nasty, evil, motherfucking, vicious losers.
I remember what my Ambot cousin used to say: "The best way to sell Amway products is to sell the Plan."
ReplyDeleteI knew then and there that the whole thing was a goddamned racket. If you can't sell a product without roping your potential customer into some kind of MLM pipedream, then the product sucks, and you're a con-man.
I dare any Amway IBO who is reading this: Come here and tell us how much actual Amway product you have sold to ordinary retail customers. Not your mom, not your brother-in-law, not your uncle, not friends who pity you. To RETAIL CUSTOMERS WHO ARE NOT INVOLVED IN AMWAY, AND WHO ARE STRANGERS TO YOU.
Come on, assholes. Let's hear what you have to say.
Anonymous- the most important thing for Amway Ambots is to sow “the plan”. The Amway cult leaders demand to know the appointments Ambots have set up to show the plan and its part of being “Core”.
DeleteMost people aren’t too keen on looking at pyramid scheme plans.
Amway is sell the hope not the soap. No Ambot will say how many real customers they have cause the answer is zero.
Nobody in Amway sells the products to retail customers. They just self-consume the stuff, or store it in their basements.
ReplyDeleteThat's right Anonymous. Amway's sales to people not registered as IBO's used to be 3%. Could be fewer than that now.
DeleteYour husband signed himself "Love, your warrior" on a message to you? Good grief. The insanity at those Amway functions must be at a high boiling point.
ReplyDeleteWhenever a mouse intrudes itself in our home, my wife insists that I kill it. I chase it down and eventually manage to kill the creature, with a little trouble. As a result, my wife calls me "Musophontes," which is ancient Greek for "Mouse-Killer." It's silly, but at least I actually do something to earn the title.
I doubt if those Amway "warriors" ever do anything.
Anonymous - the whole insanity of the Amway cult is what we aim to share around here. Upline abuse. Stupid buzz words. Fucking Amway losers. Shitty overpriced Amway products. Emotional and financial distress. The word is out - stay away from ScAmway.
DeleteAnd good on you for chasing down mice. Those little bastards are fast and zig zag. I dropped a phone book on a mouse that was in my workplace many years ago. Didn't quite kill it. One of my co-workers had a pet snake that eats live mice so she took it home with her.
Loving musophantes!
