Thanks to one of our readers for sharing their story. A look at the arrogance of these fucking Amway losers who think others want to be just like them – lying, scamming, arrogant pricks who peddle snake oil.
Have you ever thought you were
being scammed? Here’s my Amway story.
First off I did not fall for the my life sucks and we can give you financial
freedom bullshit they portray. But I was approached by some friends we had made
in a new town my wife and daughter and I had moved to. They wanted to show us
an opportunity that they couldn’t share with us right away as we hadn’t been
vetted yet. This is your first clue this is a bad idea. But what the hell we
went along with it, we met a couple times for coffee where they just discussed
their life and faith (this is the key I think), how they could help us become
them, and achieve what they and their “mentors” have achieved. First off I
never said I wanted to be them, so I thought hell that’s pretty self involved
to think I want to be you.
After they describe what seemed like a legitimate business we decided to attend
a meeting, this is where the wheels fell off. The “inspirational” talk was from
their up-line about how they had achieved financial freedom and could be
full-time parents instead of selling themselves for money in a real job like
all the losers. These people listening in this meeting basically kissed the
ground they walked on, its at this point I realized its more of a cult, and
brainwashing than a business. The meeting had a believe us cause we are the
only option to get what you want, with everyone in unison saying yes to the “facts”
they presented. Which are complete and utter bullshit. Everyone can achieve
this, no one loses if you apply yourself to the “program”. This I believe is
why they target people of faith, they are more apt to believe what they don’t
see. Don’t take that as a negative if you are a person of faith, I just think
its their “in”. I am not a person of faith, I need to hold evidence in my hand
to believe.
Anyway after the meeting they provided my wife and I an information package,
material littered with Amway. I was already out, and after three or four texts
from my would be mentor about the package and setting up a time to discuss I
politely told him we were not interested. He seems to have accepted that but
time will tell if he pushes anymore. I don’t doubt a person could potentially
make money with Amway however the method of making money is recruiting and not
selling the products, any person who actually looks at that realizes this. So
if constantly searching for recruits, alienating your friends and family, never
having a free minutes to do the “sins” in life you enjoy, tv, sports, playing
with your kids (I use the word sin as they try to make you think having fun and
being happy is wrong and all spare time should be Amway time) then power too
you. I however will enjoy my beer on a Saturday night or Sunday for hockey and
football games, ill enjoy wasting countless hours with my kids building lego.
I dunno if this will help anyone but felt I need to share.
The man who posted this comment makes a very serious point at the end. And that is the fact that Amway and those associated with the racket have a definite negative attitude towards relaxation, leisure, private enjoyment, and all playful fun in general. Your up-line will always complain that you are "wasting your time" if you indulge in any of these things, instead of being out there working your ass off to recruit new Amway members.
ReplyDeleteWhy do Amway freaks call these things "sins"? Very simple: the deep culture of Amway still goes right back to DeVos and Van Andel, who were two hard Dutch Calvinists. For persons in that sect, all "fun" is evil and displeasing to God. Your purpose in life, according to the sect, is to work endlessly and to make large sums of money. That's what proves that you are one of "the elect," who are destined for salvation.
Amway must be destroyed.
Anonymous - there are people who are workaholics. Very often they are real business owners -- as opposed to Amway pretend business owners. But just as likely they could be someone in a high position in a company or someone busting their ass off to climb the corporate ladder. They are very hard working ambitious people.
DeleteNow let's compare them to Amway Ambots. The ones who go around screaming that we didn't work hard enough and all the other bullshit negative canned Amspeak. The rabid frenetic energy could be put to better use. Some of the ambots I met I thought if they actually put the same time and energy into a legitimate business they might do quite well. But their negative attitudes stand in the way.
Yeah you're wasting time if you decide to take a Hawaiian vacation. No time for relaxation. And sneer at the people who do these things and say negative about them.
Yup Amway must be destroyed!
