The last time we posted Life Changing Event Or More Amway Bullshit one of our readers had this to say about how Amway cult sects need to hold functions every 3 months:
The WWDB (now called World-Wide
Group) thought up these absurd "functions" as a way not only to get
cash from IBOs, but also to "fire them up" with enthusiasm for Amway.
It's depressing and disheartening for an IBO to shell out money every month for
all the crap your Amway subsystem demands that you buy. In addition, the IBO
finds out pretty quickly that there really isn't a market for Amway goods with
the general public. And it's all made worse by the fact that most IBOs can't
recruit anyone to be in their down-line. This is especially true in North
America, where Amway's reputation is so deep in the toilet that people run away
when they hear the name.
So what can up-line do? The best thing is the "function," which
brings together IBOs for a combination of cheering, shouting, laughing, and
fantasizing. Despite being a total waste of time in any business sense, the
"function" temporarily energizes the IBOs, and sends them home with
their illusions reinforced.
It doesn't last very long, however, which is why WWDB needs to have a
"function" every three months. You have to get those IBOs back four
times a year to keep them recharged with enthusiasm for a business that is in
fact failing for most of them.
When a genuine business is really making money, the persons who own the
business don't have to be "energized" or "psyched up" or
whipped into a frenzy like fans at a football game. Real business owners just
sit back quietly and rake in their profits.
But in a phony business like Amway where 99% of the IBOs never make a dime, all
that keeps the fraud going is fakery and bullshit and hype. This is why the
"functions" are absolutely necessary, even if the big pins weren't
getting rich off them.

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!
