Our Emerald upline once used a
whiteboard where he drew a quadrant based on how much TV IBO’s were allowed to
watch. All new IBO’s or maybe it was IBO’s under 2500 pin levels - don’t
remember - were in the square where no TV watching was allowed.
I’m not a big TV watcher but I do like a few shows. If I’m home I’ll watch the
news. That’s a huge Amway IBO NO! All news MUST come from the assholes in the
Amway upline. Its called information control!
I probably watch 10 to 15 hours of TV a week, maybe more if some good movies
are on, so I’m not much of a watcher. Ironic numbers isn’t it. I’m sure any IBO
would say I could take those same 10 to 15 hours I spend watching TV each week
and turn it into earning $100,000/year.
Yeah, right. Been down that road. Heard that bullshit before.
Nothing any asshole in our Amway upline said to me was going to change my TV
habits. Ambot would sometimes walk into the room and whatever show I was
watching he’d sneer at me something to the effect of how is watching that show
going to make me money. Here is a good time to point out that Ambot watches
more TV than I do. He likes watching what he calls adult animation and sports.
Cartoons and overgrown high school boys. How is that making him money in his
Amway business?
Getting back to that quadrant for the life of me I don’t recall what pin levels
the Emerald put in each quadrant. I was only shown his expert mathematical
equation once. Wherever he was as an Emerald he was allowed most of his free
time to be spent watching TV. I guess what was never determined was how much free
time he has in a week.
The bigger picture is the real reason the upline don’t want IBO’s watching TV
is because they want to control the information sources their downline IBO’s
receive. Any news or current affairs or stock market advice the IBO’s receive
should all be coming from their upline.
You Amway upline bastards can say whatever you want about watching TV. I’m not
going to stop no matter how much you fuckers bitch at me. At least if I’m home
watching TV I’m not losing money throwing away $10 going to an Amway meeting to
listen to the latest Amspeak bullshit.
So your upline controls the male (usually) ambot and he then controls his wife and kids? How does that work these days when everybody has phones and tablets? Does he spend all evening going from room to room and making sure no body is watching contraband stuff? Even if you don't have any streaming services or cable services, there is still YouTube and any number of things to distract you on the web. This is yet another entirely unenforceable rule that this mind control organisation wants to impose on its cult followers.
ReplyDeleteAs you say, almost everything you do in the hours you spend online or watching TV is a better use of your time than spending it in the waste of money that is Amway. It would be interesting to get an update from a recent escapee from the cult to see if these nonsense rules are still part of the Amway bag of tricks or if they have moved on with the times.
Aussie Hillbilly - my guess is that still works. After all Ambots are ordered not to look at anything negative on the Internet and even are told to delete their social media accounts. Though that kind of takes away from a recruiting stream.
DeleteThe way I look at it - even if I'm not making money doing an activity - as long as I'm not losing money by doing it then that's all good.
Amway is jackrabbit-terrified of any independent sources of information. The company knows that they have no control over what is broadcast in the media, so they are desperate to forbid IBOs to watch TV, listen to the radio, surf the internet, read newspapers, or visit websites or blogs where Amway or other MLM rackets are discussed freely and without censorship.
ReplyDeleteThe Church used to maintain an "Index Librorum Prohibitorum" (a list of forbidden books) that believers were not supposed to read. The idea was that if persons were allowed to read anything they chose, they might start to doubt some of the Church's dogmas, and either become atheists or join some other religious group.
The Platinums and other big pins in the AMO subsystems are no different. They are fanatically committed to keeping all IBOs in a state of blissful ignorance, so that no "negative" thoughts about Amway can enter an IBO's mind. The excuse they give is that an IBO will be "wasting time" reading or seeing other sources of information, and as a result the IBO will never get rich. What fucking bullshit! Less than one percent of Amway IBOs ever make a dime, much less get rich.
Anonymous - that's a great run down of life in Amway nad having your information sources controlled. If an Ambot doesn't get the news from an Amway cult leader - then to their brainwashed mind - it ain't true. And anyone who has a differing point of view from the Amway cult leader is a negative unchristian dreamstealer who is too stupid to get it. The Amway loser's thoughts - not mine!
