A searcher ended up on this
blog looking for information on how to quit Amway.
I think that’s a sad state of being brainwashed by the Amway cult that someone
has to seek out information on the Internet on how to quit Amway.
The logical response that comes to my mind, in no particular order:
1. stop attending Amway meetings
2. stop listening to CD’s
3. stop buying Amway products
4. don’t renew your membership at year end
5. ignore phone calls and texts from the Amway upline
To sum it up - Don’t have nothing to do with those Amway bastards anymore.
Nothing means NOTHING!
Seeing as how the Platinum or Diamonds used to refer to Amway as a shopping
mall on the Internet - stop shopping there. Simple. Its no different than if
you get pissed off at Safeway for some reason - you don’t go back. You quit
shopping there.
Its an easy thing for me to say who had no interest in Amway, didn’t want to
buy their shitty overpriced products, disliked our sponsor and ultimately
disliked everyone upline.
Someone like me is going to have no problem quitting these bastards.
As hard as I find it to comprehend, I recognize that there are actually people
out there who liked Amway and liked the people in their line of sponsorship.
Getting sucked into the Amway cult didn’t happen overnight and quitting won’t
be an easy overnight process for them either.
For some people it is a difficult, painful process quitting Amway because of
the way they’ve been brainwashed and their thought process has been manipulated
by their cult leaders. They’ve been in meetings where their cult leader has
ranted about the latest IBO who has quit. Loser, pariah, quitter, etc. They
order the cult followers in their downline not to have anything more to do with
this person. The IBO knows if they quit they will be the main topic of their
cult leader’s rant at the next Amway meeting.
Here’s a Youtube video about former cult member (Moonies) turned therapist
Steve Hassan. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CApMzIX46kw
He’s being interviewed by Eric Sheibeler, author of Merchants
ofDeception and they’re discussing the Amway cult. The links to part 2 and
3 videos are found on this Youtube page. Hassan has written a couple of books
that might be helpful to people wanting to leave Amway. It might be worth
checking out at the library or purchasing for anyone who is having difficulty
leaving Amway.
Amway is no different than any bad habit that one is trying to quit. Some
people can go cold turkey. Others have to take quitting in smaller steps until
it is no longer something that control their lives.
I send good luck and best wishes to anyone trying to deprogram themselves from
the Amway cult and hope the quitting process isn’t too painful. Any fucking
assholes in your Amway upline gives you a hard time send them to this blog and
tell them to leave a comment and I'll take care of them!
It's hard to quit something when you have an emotional commitment to it. This would be true in a bad marriage, a relationship that went sour, or a job where you have been there for a long time and made many friends.
ReplyDeleteThis is why Amway and its subsystems always work hard to create a false emotional link between a new IBO and the Amway persons whom he deals with directly. If they compliment you, love-bomb you, and do all sorts of things to make you feel good about yourself and your new "friends," you'll be disinclined to break off from the racket when you realize that you're not making any money.
Since many persons who join Amway are lonely or depressed or at loose ends, they find it very hard to break away from the only persons who seem to be their friends.
That’s true Anonymous. I had no emotional attachment to Amway or the fucking assholes in our Amway upline so no big deal to me. Ambot actually liked some of those losers so it was harder for him. Most people have to cit ties for their emotional and financial well being. It’s harder for people who like the Amway love bombing. Creepy as it is getting love bombed by a cult.
