At some of the major functions
I attended I often heard the speakers from stage refer to the husband as a
warrior. The man would call himself a warrior fighting for his family’s
financial future. And the wife, good little Barbie Ambot, would look adoringly
at her husband and sigh “My warrior.”
Too sickening even for a paperback romance novel!
Amway warriors. Off to fight a war. Of course the big battle is signing up new
IBO’s and convincing other people to buy overpriced Amway products.
Ambot would be so fired up after getting home from the function that he’d often
send me text messages signed “love, your warrior”.
I’m a pacifist. This blog isn’t the venue to get into a political discussion on
any wars or civil unrest going on in the world but suffice it to say that
pacifists oppose fighting and war and therefore the term warrior is not such a
popular choice to sway any pacifists.
I couldn’t possibly be the only pacifist in a stadium with 10,000 people or
however many the stadium holds.
Warriors! Sounds like a game kids play.
Maybe somebody else has better insight on why Amway Diamonds call themselves
warriors. Off to war. Fighting a battle against those who oppose the Amway
scam.
I came across a post written by a blogger who calls himself the 8pm Warrior
where he discusses if MLM is a good opportunity for 8pm warriors. http://8pmwarrior.com/2011/01/is-multi-level-marketing-mlm-a-good-opportunity-for-8pm-warriors/
Edited to add – that’s a dead link but it was good the first time this post
appeared! The website has done an overhaul and now it’s more about thoughts
from an 8pm warrior. 8pmwarrior.com
First off I want to say I love the name “8pm Warrior”. That is so true of Amway
Ambots marching off to their 8pm cult meetings. This blogger is not an Amway
IBO but when I first heard of him I thought he might be which is why I took a
peek.
This particular post got a few comments including several from a “James” who
admits to 10+ year involvement in Quixtar/Amway. He writes rather lengthy
responses explaining his point of view as an IBO. A lot of typical Amway speak.
To give the guy credit his responses are well written and thought out but for
all I know he’s copied and pasted from similar posts that he plasters all over
the Internet. Years ago Joecool had a blog visitor named James leaving similar
comments and responses to his posts. I can’t help thinking it might be the same
guy because he invites others to contact him to further discuss the Amway
opportunity. So did the poster named James who commented on Joecool’s blogs.
Doesn’t really matter one way or the other except that Joecool’s “James” has not
been heard of in a long time and I wondered if this was him resurfacing.
Amway warriors? Go to bed little boys.
I'm sure "James" is no longer in Amway. Like IBOFartback, he's probably under a rock somewhere.
ReplyDeleteI don't know Anonymous. If someone has been in ScAmway for 10+ years - they're a lifer. They ain't gonna quit. They have invested too much time and money and brainwashed to believe if they quit they're a loser. Well they're a loser by the fact that they're in the Amway cult cause that's the way the rest of the world views them. But they can't quit now - not when success is right around the corner LOL!
