At just about every Amway
meeting we attended we were told that we’d come on board at just the right
time. Now is the beginning of what is gearing up to be a huge increase in
Internet sales of Amway products. Exciting changes are just about to happen in the
Amway business. This is huge!
I could have sworn we heard the same pitch many years ago too!
We were shown charts of how this trend was supposed to occur over the next few
years with sales going up. This chart was part of the business plan flip cards that
were shown at every Amway meeting.
There might be some changes but whether or not they’re exciting is debatable.
I’m not really here to discuss Amway policy and what changes are going on in
their company. This blog exists to curse out my former upline and inform others
what it was like living with an Ambot.
Here are the (not-exciting) changes I observed in Ambot:
1. he got into huge arguments with people he normally got along well with who
didn’t want to come to Amway meetings
2. he sneered at people who had J.O.B.s and weren’t willing to consider an
Amway career
3. he was very rude to friends who weren’t interested in supporting his
business by buying overpriced Amway products
4. he dropped whatever he was doing to respond to phone calls or text messages
from the upline who wanted him to haul his ass to where they were for whatever
they deemed was more important
5. he quoted Amway speak constantly and parroted whatever his upline
brainwashed him into repeating
6. he questioned everything I did and how that was making him money in his
Amway business
7. he had the brainwashed delusion that his upline sponsor was some sort of god
and therefore we must lick his asshole
8. he became a slob around the house littering his Amway garbage wherever he
happened to be and refused to put the consumed items containers into the
garbage or recycling bin
9. he used his previously debt free credit card for Amway related purchases
including treating the entire upline out for meals and maxed it out
10. he became increasingly agitated, argumentative, rude, and snobbish
11. he accused everyone with different points of view (from his upline) of
being negative
The changes since Ambot got out of the cult are a lot more positive. Becoming a
nice person again is one. Despite the upline’s proclamations that being in
Amway makes you a nicer person to distract the IBO’s from paying attention to
the money they’re not making, I’m here to dispute that and say NO FUCKING WAY
does being an IBO make you a nicer person. As a group mentality they might all
put on a fake nicey nice act at functions and seminars but in private they’re
nasty, surly, unapproachable sorry excuses for human beings. Funny how losing
money in Amway can change a person’s personality especially since the
upline brainwashes them into thinking the reason they’re not succeeding is
because they’re not trying hard enough or because they’re losers.
I’m here to say watching someone getting brainwashed by the Amway cult is not
an exciting change.
And one more time from marriedtoanambot let’s just send another big old FUCK
YOU out to Amway Scamway and their scammer army of Ambots.
Anna, those eleven things you mention are horrible changes -- so horrible that it's hard to imagine you tolerating them.
ReplyDeleteAnd yet I must admit that your case wasn't an exception. What I have learned from reading all the anti-Amway and anti-MLM websites and blogs is that these eleven changes are very common in men who get sucked into the mindless and evil Amway cult.
From all the descriptions I have read about it, it reminds me of the personality change that occurs in the onset of a mental disease, or a major trauma, or demonic possession. The person becomes a monster of selfish greed, and hatred towards the outside world.
Joining an MLM and becoming enthusiastic about it should now be taken as signs of incipient insanity, or total delusion.
Anonymous - it's not easy to watch someone go through really horrible changes after getting sucked into the Amway cult.
DeleteAs you've noticed in reading other blogs is that most women know that Amway has an expiry date and most participants quit after they realized they got scammed and the only chance they have of making money is by scamming others. Most women just wait them out. Unless you're unlucky enough to be in a relationship with a lifer.
That's a good way of putting it. People who join the Amway cult is like watching someone with demonic possession in their greedy pursuit of making money in ScAmway.
