One of our readers shares a story but I’m sure he got the
Amway brainwashing conferences titles mixed up. FED happens in October unless
the WWDB organizer fucks up and can’t book an arena in time then it’s in
November. Amway Dream Night is held in January. For those of us who hate going
to Amway bullshit cult functions we’re lucky that this is the shortest event
only wasting our time for a few hours. This Ambot got stuck doing a day long
Amway shit show.
For those meetings - I had attended one (FED) in Jan 2019 where we had
breakfast at 8 at the Platinum's down line place, stuck the whole day in that
giant hall (And Yes I was lazy enough not to go all the way down, cross the
hall, & go up to get out of there. That happens when you travel for more
than 6 hours, get few hours to sleep & get ready to reach at the venue
early! For what? Just to DANCE before the function starts? I could have done
that at home.), and finally got to have something to fill our stomach after 7
as they didn't allow to bring anything inside the hall.
All new Diamonds on the stage & people were crazy. I mean, one of the lady
was so comical that I couldn't even digest what she was talking about. People
were laughing on the jokes, which I had already heard in the audios, like they
heard them for the first time!!!!!
I was feeling more down than FIRED UP - one thought in my mind - I came all the
way to this city for this shit.
After that, I ceased attending any of those weekly, monthly, etcetera
seminars/meetings. They were preaching the same thing & I didn't want to
pay for that. My up line & sponsor were telling me to attend them as only
those meetings would uplift my belief. Instead of belief I was seeing my pocket
getting emptied.
Other thing - After every meeting, product training, and online PASE through
zoom video call, they always told to share the excitement in the WhatsApp group
(One group for All IBO's). I was like why I needed to share every thing there.
It was more like "Mark your attendance" everyday.
This story truly emphasizes the basic fact about Amway -- the sole energy behind it is MINDLESS ENTHUSIASM.
ReplyDeleteEverything is hype, rah-rah arm pumping, dancing, screaming, speech-making, and endless feelgood chatter.
If you don't participate in it, your up-line and fellow IBOs will come down very hard on you as "negative." And "negative" includes asking any questions at all about what is required from you. Brain-dead obedience is the core of Amway's business structure.
Amway is a business that doesn't want intelligence, or critical thinking, or independent action, or rational distance, or cultural awareness, or anything else that we normally expect from civilized persons. It's a business for dimwits.
I can’t begin to count how many times the fucking assholes in our Amway upline bitched because I sat in there and didn’t properly worship the Amway cult leaders. I’m supposed to dance and scream with joy while these Amway bullies steal my money?
