How To Listen To Amway Tapes

OK. Who would do a search titled “how to listen to Amway tapes”?

Umm. You put the tape into a cassette player, push the play button, and listen to it?

Years ago I worked for a company that was located in a 5 story building. A couple of other companies had offices in the building. I was down on the main floor bringing something to the receptionist and probably chatting for a few minutes. A couple walked across the lobby and got into the elevator. The man - in his 20’s - held the door open, poked his head out, and called over:

“Which button do I press for the third floor?”

“Three?” The receptionist suggests in the tone she uses when dealing with idiots.

The elevator door closes and we break down laughing.

OK well maybe you had to be there....

Perhaps this poor lost IBO has already asked his upline that question and didn’t get a satisfactory answer so he now takes to the Internet in his quest to find that information and ends up at my post about Amway CD’s and tapes.

“How to listen to Amway tapes?”

Hmm, maybe you should be drunk first? Turn the volume way down so you don't piss off anyone else within earshot. Do whatever it takes not to get brainwashed by that shit. A better plan would be to burn them.

I wonder if IBOFB is reading this post. He’ll be shitting his pants demanding who has got their hands on Amway tapes because he claims they went out with the last century.

  1. When someone is asking "How to listen to Amway tapes," it indicates something about the kind of people who generally get hooked into Amway, and who have a hard time getting out of the scam.

    Yes, of course -- all you have to do is put the tape in the cassette, push the "Play" button, and listen. That's what every sane person knows.

    But a lot of Amway types are natural losers and dimwits, and they need directions that even a child doesn't ask for. It's not that they don't know how to play a tape, but because their natural hesitation and uncertainty and diffidence make them have low self-esteem and uncertainty about taking action.

    So when the guy asks that silly question, what he really means is this: "Do I need to be in a special frame of mind to listen to an Amway tape? Do I have to prepare myself by cleansing my brain of doubts? Do I have to have positive feelings, and trust, and complete loyalty to my up-line?"

    In other words, he's so lacking in courage and self-respect and trust in his own judgment that he is lamely asking other people how he should prepare himself to listen to an Amway tape. He is weak-willed, uncertain, and fearful.

    That's exactly the kind of dyed-in-the-wool loser that Amway wants to hook as an IBO. He'll be a lifer.

    1. Anonymous - It also could be the old ask your Amway upline for permission before you do anything. The Ambot decides to get a jump start on the instructions and checks online for how to listen to Amway tapes before getting permission to listen to them.

    2. Possibly. But since an IBO usually receives the tapes directly from his up-line, why would he think that he has to ask his up-line for permission to listen to them? Surely the up-line sent the tapes to be listened to.

Comments are moderated but we publish just about everything. Even brainwashed ambots who show up here to accuse us of not trying hard enough and that we are lazy, quitters, negative, unchristian dreamstealers. Like we haven’t heard that Amspeak abuse from the assholes in our upline!

If your comment didn’t get published it could be one of these reasons:
1. Is it the weekend? We don’t moderate comments on weekends. Maybe not every day during the week either. Patience.
2. Racist/bigoted comments? Take that shit somewhere else.
3. Naming names? Public figures like politicians and actors and people known in Amway are probably OK – the owners, Diamonds with CDs or who speak at functions, people in Amway’s publicity department who write press releases and blogs. Its humiliating for people to admit their association with Amway so respect their privacy if they’re not out there telling everyone about the love of their life.
4. Gossip that serves no purpose. There are other places to dish about what Diamonds are having affairs or guessing why they’re getting divorced. If you absolutely must share that here – don’t name names. I get too many nosy ambots searching for this. Lets not help them find this shit.
5. Posting something creepy anonymously and we can’t track your location because you’re on a mobile device or using hide my ass or some other proxy. I attracted an obsessed fan and one of my blog administrators attracted a cyberstalker. Lets keep it safe for everyone. Anonymous is OK. Creepy anonymous and hiding – go fuck yourselves!
6. Posting something that serves no purpose other than to cause fighting.
7. Posting bullshit Amway propaganda. We might publish that comment to make fun of you. Otherwise take your agenda somewhere else. Not interested.
8. Notice how this blog is written in English? That's our language so keep your comments in English too. If you leave a comment written in another language then we either have to use Google translate to put it into English so everyone can understand what you wrote or we can hit the Delete button. Guess which one is easier for us to do?
9. We suspect you're a troublemaking Amway asshole.
10. Your comment got caught in the spam filter. There's over 1000 spam comments left here each month. We don't check them. We just delete them. If your comment landed in spam - sucks to be you!
