I remember getting love bombed
by the evil members of the Amway cult when Ambot was still a devoted worshipper
of the great Amway gods. If you’ve ever been in a cult you know how it goes.
People who barely know you want to hug you everytime they see you. They gush
about how much they love what you’re wearing, the car you’re driving, the book
you’re reading, etc. If you’ve done something awe inspiring like park your car
between the lines in the parking lot they rave about what a wonderful driver
you are. You know all the over the top praise for pretty normal things that
could only come from cult members. Pretty fucking creepy. Pretty fucking creepy
sums up Amway and ambots.
What is love bombing? Here is a partial description from Wikipedia:
Critics of cults often cite love
bombing as one of the features that may identify an organization as a cult.
When used by critics, the phrase is defined to mean affection that is feigned
or with an ulterior motive and that is used to reduce the subject’s resistance
to recruitment.
The term was popularized by
psychology professor Margaret Singer, who has become closely identified with
the love-bombing-as-brainwashing point of view. In her 1996 book, Cults in
Our Midst, she described the technique:
As soon as any interest is shown
by the recruits, they may be love bombed by the recruiter or other cult
members. This process of feigning friendship and interest in the recruit was
originally associated with one of the early youth cults, but soon it was taken
up by a number of groups as part of their program for luring people in. Love
bombing is a coordinated effort, usually under the direction of leadership,
that involves long-term members’ flooding recruits and newer members with
flattery, verbal seduction, affectionate but usually nonsexual touching, and
lots of attention to their every remark.
Love bombing - or the offer of
instant companionship - is a deceptive ploy accounting for many successful
recruitment drives.
This description is very accurate of the love bombing that goes on at Amway
cult meetings.
These Amway phony ass “business owners” are brainwashed so they don’t realize
they’re in a cult. How about a social club instead? A very expensive club
because all Amway meetings are social gatherings and brainwashing sessions and
it costs hundreds of dollars each month to be a member.
Back when I worked I attended real business meetings as opposed to the phony
ass Amway pretend business meetings, whether it was in my workplace or
travelling to another person’s workplace. I have never greeted anyone or been
greeted by a business professional with a hug and flattering comments. A
handshake yes. Maybe a compliment if I like their outfit or a painting on the
wall.
When I showed up at the workplace I never once walked around the office
greeting coworkers with hugs. Probably not a handshake either unless I was
meeting someone for the first time. The only time I’ve seen or participated in
coworker hugs has been at the office Christmas party or on someone’s last day
of work with the company.
Its called being professional inside the workplace. A concept that Amway ambots
don’t understand.
Real business people operating legitimate businesses don’t go overboard.
Professional niceties is one thing.
Love bombing is something else. Something creepy that is. And it makes people
go what the fuck is going on here. These people are unnaturally delirious about
meeting everyone.
Seeing as how Amway IBO’s are fake business people the rules don’t apply
because its a fake business meeting. So hug away is the WWDB Amway motto!
I mean for fuck’s sake I don’t even go around hugging friends I’ve known for
years when we get together at a social gathering. Maybe. Depends on the
circumstance like if its a funeral.
Amway love bombing. A common cult tactic. Creepy. Meet people for the first
time and they all want to hug me? Like back off Amway assholes! I don’t want
other people in my space I don’t know and especially people I already know and
don’t like. And here its important to note that the fucking asshole that
sponsored us in Amway never once tried to hug me. Bastard knew better than to
fuck with me!
Walk into an Amway meeting held in someone’s house and everyone pounces on you
and wants to hug you. Even if you’ve never talked to them before or only seen
them occasionally. They are overly excited to see you and they want to touch
you affectionately. All fakey affectionately. What’s really creepy is walking
into a larger Amway greeting say an auditorium where a Diamond is going to show
up to brainwash the masses. Everyone out in the lobby is hugging everyone else.
Walk into the arena and the hugging is still going on like crazy. And the
screaming and squealing as if they haven’t seen this person in years instead of
last night at a Scamway meeting. And then the fake compliments and the fake
attentiveness and the want to introduce you to everyone else they know so they
can all hug you too. CREEPY!!!!
Love bombing. Instant companionship.
That’s what Amway is all about. Instant friends. And you’ll need new friends
because once you’re inside the Amway cult you’re not supposed to associate with
anyone who is not in Amway or not interested in joining up as an IBO or buying
shitty overpriced Amway products.
Love bombing = entrance into the cult. We are all so loving and welcoming!
WE WANT YOUR MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What about the fake I love what you’re wearing? Oh this old rag? Tell me about
the book you’re reading. This woman’s banging three different guys and she can
tire them all out. Where’d you get those beautiful shoes? Payless. I love what
you’ve done with your hair. Well that’s what happens when you wash your hair
before you go to bed and sleep on it wet.
And all the smiling and happy happy. A bunch of Chucky dolls!
Beware of someone you’ve just met who wants to hug the shit out of you and ply
you with compliments and is overly attentive to you and has a fake smile pasted
on their face the whole time.
Its an Amway ambot love bomber on the loose!
If you're a loser who is chronically depressed and terrified about your loneliness and lack of cash, you're the perfect target for a cult that practices love-bombing.
ReplyDeleteIn fact, the love-bombing in Amway begins long before you show up for a scheduled meeting. The Ambot who approaches you in Starbucks or at a mall will always say something like "You look like a sharp guy, and I'm looking for sharp guys to be a part of my growing new business."
The real truth is that you DON'T look like a sharp guy. You look like a naive and hapless loser who will be easy prey. That's why the Ambot comes up to you. The Ambot won't dare approach anyone who looks self-confident, aggressive, and determined. A guy like that will just laugh in the Ambot's face, and tell him to shove his 6-4-2 plan up his ass.
If you're dumb enough to think that the Ambot actually believes you are "a sharp guy," then you'll also be stupid enough to come to a meeting. And that's when the massive love-bombing will start. The Ambots all know that if you agreed to come to the meeting, you're definitely a weakling and a pushover.
Anonymous - Yep, those are all qualities that Amway cult leaders look for in recruits. To brainwash them into meek, obedient Ambots who will follow and obey without question.
DeleteLOL - you’re right. Most Amway Ambots do not look like “sharp” guys. They look like pathetic losers.
In Amway the meek will inherit nothing!
