The last time we did the fuck you Amway IBO post, one of our readers shared a weird experience. Though was it really any weirder than all the other weird Amway shit?
Fuck you IBO for making me
dance! That’s right. When these two married upliners reached Emerald, the
downlines plus a bunch of randoms like myself and my upline who had nothing to
do with them, had to embarrassingly do a long, synchronized dance routine at a
function in front of hundreds. I put off practises because I didn’t want to
take part in that, but was eventually pressured with all the CommuniKate
voicemail and texts. Worse, I saw a friend in the audience there gawking at me
while we were performing. Don’t wanna know what she was thinking...
But yeah wtf kind of business was that where a classroom size group are dancing
a long memorized routine with giant robotic smiles on stage just because
someone reached a milestone!
And another reader responded:
Forcing people to take part in
complicated group dances is a very typical symptom of cult control. It was
common in the strange "Shaker" cult of the 19th century.
And yes -- can you imagine the administrators at IBM or Procter and Gamble
forcing employees to take part in a ritual dance?
But those are genuine businesses, not fake cult-businesses like Amway.
The Amway cult is so fucking crazy that nothing that happens in it surprises me. Ritualized dancing as part of a business convention? Who the bloody hell thought up that absurd idea?
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - yup make crazy dancing part of the program at Amway cult meetings. Creepy creepy.
