Amway Ambots Hate Their Jobs and Teach Others to do the Same

One of the things I heard at Amway meetings was how simple the business was. All you had to do was eat one Amway food bar and one Amway beverage daily and teach others to do the same thing.

Well not that simple because nobody likes to eat nasty tasty shitty products that are priced through the roof. Unless they’re an ambot brainwashed to believe that they actually taste good and are good for you. Hell. Caramel coated cardboard tastes better than Amway food bars!

Amway is all about teaching others to do the same thing you’re doing. Usually referred to as duplicating your upline.

At every Scamway meeting the sack of shit Platinum would sneer at people who had jobs. J.O.B. Just Over Broke. People who were employed by others and held jobs were held in lowest contempt because they weren’t big and important business owners like Amway (pretend) business owners.

According to the sack of shit Platinum after people had been in Amway for a couple of years they could quit their job and sit back on their asses and watch the big bucks coming rolling in every month in residual income.

Freedom! Something that none of those poor fuckers who held jobs would ever know about.

Or the Platinum either because after 15 years or so he still works a much hated job. He hates his job so he is all about teaching others to hate their jobs too.

The Platinum cult leader would roll the noses of the followers into the big shithole known as a job. Making a living working for someone else and getting paid for it. And on and on it would go. How jobs are horrible evil things that only lowly bastards have. People with jobs have to set their alarm clock and get up every day and take orders from someone else. And then when they turn 65 they automatically either die or are broke.

And what about the people in the room who ran their own business. Ambot was usually the only one but there were a couple of other guys in crossline who might be at some of the Amway cult meetings we attended. It must have pissed off the sack of shit Platinum to no end when he asked how many in the room earned 75 or 100k the fictional amount you can make in Amway at Platinum or Emerald level and the people who already owned their own businesses were the only takers. So now the sack of shit Amway Platinum must poison the minds of the business owners and mock them for their choice of business and how hard they work and blah blah blah Amway brainwashing bullshit.

The Platinum sneers at them how they could be so stupid to own another kind of business when the best business for anyone to own is Amway. Well OK maybe for the people who actually own the Amway company thats a good business to own but not for the commissioned salespeople Amway hires and barely pays to flog their overpriced shitty products with a phony ass title of Independent Business Owner.

When we were in Amway a lot of people who attended cult meetings were unemployed. Other IBO’s became unemployed during the time we were inside this hellhole cult.

They’d been brainwashed to hate their jobs, hate their bosses, and hate their coworkers. A person who shows up at work everyday hating everything about it is not pleasant to deal with. Ambots sneer at everyone in the workplace because they’re a bunch of dumb fucker employees and don’t own their own business. Well neither does the Amway asshole! Amway IBO is a pretend business where they earn a measly $10 commission if they buy $300 worth of Amway products every month buying from their own store. Most jobs employees earn $10/hour and they probably don’t have to buy anything to earn that $10!

Because ambots are brainwashed to become insufferable Amway assholes and they bring their shitty attitude to the workplace they don’t stick around too long. They either quit because they don’t want to keep working with these losers who won’t support their business or the boss gives them the old heave ho.

What about when the ambots descend on a prospect who has a job. They’ll ask the person if they like their job. Some people like their job others don’t. Hit or miss. I’d say the people who don’t like their job are probably looking for another one and maybe they are open to going to a Scamway meeting to hear more about this once in a lifetime opportunity bullshit. Others will stand their ground and say they like their job. The ambot will sneer at them incredulous that someone could actually like their job. And then because Amway ambots are dumb fucks they’ll probably make some dumb ass comment like would you still work your job if you didn’t get paid for it. Uh what do you think you dumb ass ambot. If I don’t get paid I am like fuck you I am outta here! Most people do not stick around at a job no matter how much they like it if they don’t get paid. Not to mention thats a violation of employment laws pretty much everywhere!

Just because Amway ambots are brainwashed to hate their jobs doesn’t mean everyone else shares their shitty attitude.

Amway Love Bombers

I’ve talked about getting love bombed by members of the Amway cult when my Ambot was still a devoted worshipper of the great Amway gods but I’ve never devoted an entire post to it so I guess its about time!

What is love bombing? Here is a partial description from Wikipedia

Critics of cults often cite love bombing as one of the features that may identify an organization as a cult. When used by critics, the phrase is defined to mean affection that is feigned or with an ulterior motive and that is used to reduce the subject's resistance to recruitment.

The term was popularized by psychology professor Margaret Singer, who has become closely identified with the love-bombing-as-brainwashing point of view. In her 1996 book, Cults in Our Midst, she described the technique:

As soon as any interest is shown by the recruits, they may be love bombed by the recruiter or other cult members. This process of feigning friendship and interest in the recruit was originally associated with one of the early youth cults, but soon it was taken up by a number of groups as part of their program for luring people in. Love bombing is a coordinated effort, usually under the direction of leadership, that involves long-term members' flooding recruits and newer members with flattery, verbal seduction, affectionate but usually nonsexual touching, and lots of attention to their every remark.

Love bombing - or the offer of instant companionship - is a deceptive ploy accounting for many successful recruitment drives.

This description is very accurate of what goes on at Amway cult meetings.

These Amway phony ass “business owners” are brainwashed so they don’t realize they’re in a cult. How about a social club instead? A very expensive club but basically all Amway meetings are social gatherings and brainwashing sessions.

I worked for many years and have attended countless business meetings whether it was in my workplace or travelling to another person’s workplace. I have never greeted anyone or been greeted by a business professional with a hug and flattering comments. A handshake yes. Maybe a compliment if I like their dress or a painting on the wall.

When I showed up at the workplace I never once walked around the office greeting coworkers with hugs. Probably not a handshake either unless I was meeting someone for the first time. The only time I’ve seen or participated in coworker hugs has been at the office Christmas party or on someone’s last day of work with the company.

Its called being professional inside the workplace.

Real business people operating legitimate businesses don’t go overboard. Professional niceties is one thing.

Love bombing is something else. Something creepy that is. And it makes people go what the fuck is going on here. These people are unnaturally delirious about meeting everyone.

Seeing as how Amway IBO’s are fake business people the rules don’t apply because its a fake business meeting. So hug away is the WWDB Amway motto!

I mean for fuck’s sake I don’t even go around hugging friends I’ve known for years when we get together at a social gathering. Maybe. Depends on the circumstance like if its a funeral.

Amway love bombing. A common cult tactic. Creepy. Meet people for the first time and they all want to hug me? Like back off Amway assholes! I don’t want other people in my space. Especially people I don’t know well and especially people I already know and don’t like. And here its important to note that the fucking asshole that sponsored us in Amway never once tried to hug me. Bastard knew better than to fuck with me!

Walk into an Amway meeting held in someone’s house and everyone pounces on you and wants to hug you. Even if you’ve never talked to them before or only seen them occasionally. They are overly excited to see you and they want to touch you affectionately. All fakey affectionately. What’s really creepy is walking into a larger Amway greeting say an auditorium where a Diamond is going to show up to brainwash the masses. Everyone out in the lobby is hugging everyone else. Walk into the arena and the hugging is still going on like crazy. And the screaming and squealing as if they haven’t seen this person in years instead of last night at a Scamway meeting. And then the fake compliments and the fake attentiveness and the want to introduce you to everyone else they know so they can all hug you too. CREEPY!!!!

Love bombing. Instant companionship.

That’s what Amway is all about. Instant friends. And you’ll need new friends because once you’re inside the Amway cult you’re not supposed to associate with anyone who is not in Amway or not interested in joining up as an IBO or buying shitty overpriced Amway products.

Love bombing = entrance into the cult. We are all so loving and welcoming!

WE WANT YOUR MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

What about the fake I love what you’re wearing? Oh this old rag? Tell me about the book you’re reading. This woman’s banging three different guys and she can tire them all out. Where’d you get those beautiful shoes? Kmart. I love what you’ve done with your hair. Well that’s what happens when you wash your hair before you go to bed and sleep on it wet.

And all the smiling and happy happy. A bunch of Chucky dolls!

Beware of someone you’ve just met who wants to hug the shit out of you and ply you with compliments and is overly attentive to you and has a fake smile pasted on their face the whole time.

Its an ambot love bomber on the loose!

Can Gay Men Join World Wide Dream Builders?

A Google search brought someone to my blog looking for the answer to “can gay men join World Wide Dream Builders”.

World Wide Dream Builders also known as WWDB is one of Amway’s cult organizations. It is a very abusive organization and extremely strict with the IBO’s who are unfortunate enough bastards to sign up with this shitty group.

WWDB = World Wide Destructive Bastards. They are only out to destroy other peoples lives.

Ask the Amway upline to tell you about any married gay couple or any gay couple in a committed relationship who are Amway Diamonds. None? Then go down the phony stone list and see if the upline can name any gay couple who have reached any significant level in Scamway.

I am fairly certain that Amway the corporation and WWDB the corporation are not going to tell any gay men or women they can not sign up to be Amway IBO’s. They’re equal opportunity scammers. They’ll take money from anyone! In this day and age most companies aren’t dumb enough to discriminate against someone due to their sexual orientation or they will be slapped with a lawsuit. Does Amway need more lawsuits! Hell yes!

For all I know WWDB or Amway might have been sued for sexual orientation discrimination before but if they were I don’t know about it. That’s why they hire very good attorneys to keep them barely on the right side of the law. Or pay off those they abuse.

So the short answer is yes gay men can join World Wide Dream Builders but at what cost. It will be an extremely uncomfortable experience for them. In addition to losing money, wasting time, and having relationships destroyed, gay men will be subjected to humiliation by the Amway cult leaders.

When I attended Amway cult meetings our sack of shit Platinum occasionally went off on rants about gays and states and countries that allow gay marriages. Sucks to be an Amway ambot and live where gay marriages are legal! During the Amway cult meetings the undertone was there: being homosexual is evil.

Gay men and women are not welcome in the Amway cult!

Though ambots won’t come out and say that. Remember they want to scam everyone out of their money.

At WWDB Amway cult meetings the cult leaders preach what makes a traditional Amway couple family. That would be heterosexual relationships where the man is the head of the household and the dutiful wife stays at home and caters to her husband’s every whim and they should have some well behaved obedient children.

Not once did I ever see a gay couple on the stage at any Amway function or rally.

There was one single gay man in our WWDB Amway group. He told us that he had to give his computer to the sack of shit Platinum who had someone put parental blockers on it so he was unable to access gay websites. It became a game to him to see if he could hack into them afterwards. I mean if a guy wants to look on the Internet at other gay men its none of the fucking Platinum’s business anyway.

To further humiliate this ambot he had to “counsel” with the sack of shit Platinum about being gay. Sack of shit Platinum “counselled” with him that the reason he was not going big in Amway and making lots of money is because he is gay and he will have to change that if he wants to make it in Amway. Sack of shit Platinum was “counselling” him to date women or magically become straight. Sack of shit Platinum “counselled” him that being homosexual is evil.

Uh, no. The only evil things around here is Amway, WWDB, and the fucking assholes in the Amway upline.

So for anyone else Googling about whether or not Amway and WWDB accepts gay men into the organization they pretty much have to or else they’ll end up facing a discrimination lawsuit. However you won’t be made to feel very welcome because Amway assholes can’t mind their own business. You will face some sort of humiliation in Amway WWDB. So weigh it out. Is joining the WWDB Amway cult worth losing money, destroying relationships, and being subjected to the humiliation of being told that gay is evil and counselling with upline to go straight or you’ll never make it big in Amway.

That is what really happens in the WWDB Amway cult.

Its a scam.

Its a religious cult. Amway WWDB has their own screwed up wacked out religion that they preach to their cult followers. Decide for yourself if you’re comfortable belonging to a cult that will mock people and put them down for any reason - including sexual orientation.

Now is a good time to send a big old fuck you out there to our sack of shit Platinum for the hell that he brings to other people’s lives.

Get it through your heads you fucking Amway assholes! Other peoples private personal lives are none of your fucking business!!!!

Amway Censorship

Amway and their representing ambots are huge supporters of censorship.

I attended countless Amway cult meetings where the Amway cult leaders doled out brainwashing sermons on what the IBO’s could do and not do when it came to reading, watching, and listening materials.

We were told TV was a no no until we reached a certain level in Scamway.

My response to having what I can and can not watch on TV being censored? Fuck you Amway assholes! I’ll watch whatever I want to watch on TV.

The Amway cult leaders didn’t want us watching the news because it was so “negative” and Amway ambots live in a fantasy world of suspended reality where nothing bad ever happens.

Total lunacy!

We were told what books to read. That would be books on Amway WWDB approved reading list. Some motivational type books would be available in likely places like libraries and bookshops, but most books were pure shit that Diamonds had likely finagled a good deal from the author or publisher to flog to cult followers so they could sell on WWDB and take a huge profit on the sales.

My response to the assholes in our Amway upline who wanted to censor what I read? Typical. Fuck you I’ll read what I want. I always brought trashy romance novels to Amway cult meetings and sat there reading them making sure those around me could see the cover shot which hopefully was a woman doing 2 or 3 guys. Funny how I don’t really read this stuff seeing as how I no longer attend Amway cult meetings but it was always good to throw those ambot prudes for a loop when they asked what I was reading and I’d lift the book so they could see the cover shot of half naked threesomes.

What about the Amway cult leaders views on the Internet? Stay off it. The Internet is a bathroom wall and you can’t believe anything you read on it.

My response to being censored on the Internet? Fuck you Amway assholes. If I choose to be entertained on the Internet then I don’t give a flying fuck whether or not you approve.

Nobody censors what Anna Banana chooses to read, watch on TV, or look at on the Internet. Least of all those fucking Amway assholes in our upline ain’t gonna censor those things!

Amway doesn’t like when bloggers and commenters on the Internet talk about their Amway experiences because most of it is bad publicity for the company. There ain’t nothing they can do. It ain’t against the law to tell the truth or have an opinion. At least not in this country. In the past Amway has tried to bully their critics into silence but in this Internet age they shut one down another comes along. Though I am very open to selling my blog and stop writing but it ain’t gonna come cheap! Anna Banana has a price!

Lots of companies have people leaving their opinions all over the Internet and its not all happy love you sort of stuff. Someone gets shitty customer service or overpriced products they’re gonna let others know about that company and hopefully warn them from making the same mistake. Or people can read both sides of a story and make their own decisions.

Not in the fucking Amway cult! Your upline sack of shit Platinum makes all the decisions on what you can and can not do!

I let anyone comment on my blog. If someone in Amway wants to say how much they love the assholes in their Amway upline and try to bullshit me into believing that Amway products are good and priced to reflect their “high” quality then that’s fine. I’ll leave them a response too letting them know what I think of their bullshit. People who want to leave their side of the story on my blog will not be censored for doing so. I approve all comments unless they are a racist attack on someone’s skin color, birthplace, religion, etc.

Likewise I see the same from other former Amway IBO’s who have blogs. No one is getting censored because they like Amway and want to let us know about their great love affair. No one is being censored because they leave dumb ass responses. Though they risk being ridiculed or others trying to convince them the path to riches they’ve chosen will instead lead them to the poorhouse and divorce court.

So I had a recent commenter named Jonathan stop by to say he’s in Amway and its the only way he can come up with to get rich and retire his wife. I and others tried to convince him that Amway has a less than one quarter of 1% chance of making money. The conversations were not hostile but it is like banging your head on the wall trying to convince an ambot of anything. Today Jonathan showed up to delete all his comments on my blog so clearly some asshole in his Amway upline has counselled him to do so and censor his comments because that’s what Amway is all about. Censorship!

Anyone ever stop by Amway’s blog? Not me! But I see other bloggers blogging that they left comments that were never approved or published to the blog.

Amway censorship!

Ever stop by any blogs written by Amway lovers? Try to leave a comment? It likely won’t be approved or published. All in the name of Amway censorship!

When it comes to Amway blogs and website anyone who has a different opinion than Amway assholes will be censored!

I am against censorship. A couple of forums I visited years ago censored some comments left by members only to have the people who left the comments leave more comments saying that admin had deleted them. Not the type of websites I want to associate with! In keeping with that theme I refuse to visit blogs or websites that censor their readers which means I don’t view any Amway blogs or Amway lover blogs and just base my knowledge on what other bloggers have said about being censored.

Why censor if what you believe in is legal, legitimate, and above board?

Why censor just because someone has a different opinion than you do?

I can see why cults want to censor “negative” things about them. I can see why scams and pyramid schemes want to censor “the truth”.

Down with censorship!

Down with Amway!

Fuck you Amway assholes for your attempts to control us with censorship!

Amway IBO’s Are Cheap?

Our sack of shit Platinum used to taunt the Amway cult followers by saying “I could give you a loan but I won’t because that wouldn’t teach you anything. You wouldn’t learn how to make that money on your own.”

Well fuck! The only reason that sack of shit won’t give a loan is because he has no extra cash lying around to give out a loan. Not only does he have a family and household to maintain on an average salary because he is still working a much hated job that pays the bills but he’s in Amway and that means he’s broke all the time. And will be unless he reaches Diamond which he never will because if that was in the cards for him it would have already happened sometime in the last 20 years instead of falling in and out of Platinum qualification. Probably getting angrier and angrier but unable to quit this scam he has devoted most of his life to.

There were often pre-meetings that took place before the 8pm Amway meetings that the good little Amway warriors had to march off to. These were usually bullshit “counselling” sessions with the sack of shit Platinum. Could take place on a one by one basis or sometimes a small group of ambots would be summoned to meet at a coffee shop. When the sack of shit arrived he’d look around for someone to buy him a snack. Usually at my Ambot who already runs a profitable legitimate business and is older than the other little Amway ambots in the room and more likely to have money or at least room on his credit card. “Buy me a sandwich and coffee” the sack of shit Platinum would order and Ambot would scurry to take care of his Amway cult leader that he worshipped so much.

Other times the sack of shit Platinum would show up at the coffee shop and just call out for someone to get him a coffee and snack. Perhaps one or two of the ambots would scurry to buy the asshole something but usually it was only my husband volunteering. Nobody else had any money and I guess they all looked at Ambot the only homeowner there who owned a legitimate business and drove a nice car as Mr. Moneybags.

Here is a good time to say that our sack of shit Platinum NEVER offered to buy a coffee or a snack for anyone.

What about transportation? It costs money to maintain a car. Almost every Scamway meeting someone drove to the Platinum’s house to pick him up and drive him to where the cult followers were waiting. Price of gas these days its cheaper for the sack of shit Platinum to convince a cult follower that it was a privilege to drive him around. The reality? Saved him putting gas in his car!

The Amway assholes in our upline also expected Ambot to buy the supplies they needed for cult meetings. This was a variety of things. One was a laptop because whoever’s laptop was slower than shit so Ambot would often sneak out of the house with my laptop and give me another reason to dislike those assholes when I decided to go online and couldn’t find my computer anywhere. I mean here are all these fucking assholes in our Amway upline pretending that business is going great and they’re making gazillions of money and none of them can afford to buy a laptop to bring to Amway meetings to use in the presentation. Of which the sack of shit Platinum always led the Amway cult meetings. Why can’t he afford a laptop computer? Especially since he told us he makes about 100k in Amway. People who earn a fraction of that can afford laptops and he can’t? Scammer and liar!

Someone in our upline who claimed to be a 1000 pin - and perhaps he hit that level at one time in the last 10 years but its not like he did ever again - had a camera that was used for podcasts but it broke. Now instead of him buying another or someone else who was at least 1000 pin level Ambot was ordered to purchase one - $200 cha ching! - to use at Scamway meetings and one of the upline assholes broke that one too. And no we never bought another. That was about the time Ambot had enough of those Amway assholes praying that I would meet another man and leave him. You’d think the asshole who broke the camera would replace it but not that cheap bastard! He probably convinced Ambot there was something wrong with the camera. Blame the victim! Blame the camera! Ambots are always quick to point the finger. I've got one finger I save for people in Amway myself!

You gotta wonder how those Amway assholes are struggling along at their cult meetings once Ambot never returned with a working lap top and camera!

Same with Amway flash cards. Ambot bought them but the sack of shit Platinum refused to do any cult meetings at our house because Ambot wasn’t able to bring any prospects. We had a lot of no-shows. Well no shit! It is Amway after all. No one wants to get involved with that pyramid scheme! But back to the flash cards. Word was out that Ambot had them at home just in case the sack of shit would hold a meeting at our house and soon he was ordered to bring them to all cult meetings he attended so they could be used. Some thieving ambot in our upline stole them. Oh well. Its not like I wanted them back! I would have even sold them to the thieving Amway asshole for $10 - what a deal! But no. Our line of sponsorship was WWDB the most unethical scheming thieving lying bastards around.

Puts a whole new meaning to tool scam. If ambots can't afford to buy them then they will steal them. Or break them in a jealous rage.

Are Amway IBO’s a bunch of cheap bastards are or they just constantly broke thanks to their involvement in Amway?

Or do they have a sense of entitlement that just because they’re in Amway that everyone else owes them?

I’d say its a combination of all 3.

Ambushed by an Ambot!

I wanted to share a comment left in my post about buying tickets for Puryear Family Reunion in case some of my readers missed it.

It just shows that nothing ever changes in Amway. The same pitches are going on today that were going on 5 years ago, 10 years ago, and probably since time began with the Amway pyramid scheme.

I separated his/her comment into smaller paragraphs to make it easier to read and to insert my own comments in red!

I went with my friend (IBO) to one of his meetings after getting ambushed on one of our morning jogs.

Ambushed? Check. Ambot sneaky ass strategy.

He was babbling on and on about this year’s family reunion thing coming up July. I guess it’s a “must attend” function or convention (or something…WHATEVER).

Family Reunion coming up in July? Yup. WWDB Amway function. Another “must attend” brainwashing convention. Aren’t they all? Yawn. Ambot trying to build up some excitement so he can be one of very few IBO’s who actually brings a guest and that makes him look all big and important to the upline that he worships.

For starters, let me admit I’ve never before seen such mediocrity in my forty years on this planet!

Mediocrity? That’s one of the nicest things I’ve ever heard anyone say about Amway!

He insisted I borrow and listen to a couple of cd’s from some ‘money-guru’ he says he knows personally. I’m not really into listening to anything that’s not accompanied by some kind of music…and of course makes sense to my mood at that moment.

Those CDs are the shits! Especially when they’re cranked as loud as they can go. Sounds like we’re out in the boonies under a big tent with a preacher screeching a sermon at us.

Well anyway, back to the meeting on Friday night, we get there and of course, the place is pact! There are no more chairs, one of the best-dressed guys in the back of the room ushers my friend’s ‘sponsor’ to give up his seat so I’ll have a chance at enjoying the speaker’s slander.

Sounds like someone on the chair committee fucked up!

This ‘meeting’ felt more like a revival of some sorts to me than anything close to a business meeting. I guess there wasn’t any religion involved, yet it was carried on in a fashion resembling that of religious doctrine.

I guess they held off on the religion because they had a rare appearance of an outsider at this Amway meeting. Usually Amway meetings are peppered with religion as is the norm for any cult's meetings.

After being formally introduced to most of the attending IBO’s in the room one of the attendees (seemed rather prospected), and his wife were being badgered by a group of IBOs to attend that July convention –thing, in a matter of seconds the rest of the group joined in and the guy who urged my friend’s sponsor give up his seat to me walked right in front of them to make certain they would go (he kept insisting they attend in a very weird manner).
Amway ambots ganging up on someone and badgering them? Oh say it isn’t so! Not only are those bastards good at group love bombing but they also gang up to dole out the abuse as needed.

He and a few others (they seemed like the diamonds in the group) carried themselves extremely comfortable! After battling with that couple, he made his way to me and asked a few question about my employment (I lead Pioneer-A medical equipment distribution center for medical schools). Impressed, he seemed to veer towards my personal ambitions, at which I admitted I was going to medical school this fall.

Yup the old Amway FORM strategy that is also used by high closer salespeople to find out more about the victim and put them at ease before going in for the kill.
F - Family
O - Occupation
R - Recreation
M - Money

Before moving on, he suggested I attend this ‘ function’ insisting “I might learn something” and commented that my friend’s sponsor was someone going places and I should maybe meet up with the sponsor and him for coffee some time. I told him no thanks, that I just did this as a favor to my friend whom seemed relentless about this ‘industry’. He became uncomfortable with my comment and with a smile corrected me indicating “this is not a company…it’s a world-wide opportunity for independent business owners with BIG dreams and not afraid of getting their hands dirty”. I smiled back and nodded “most-definitely”, thinking how pathetic this all was!

Everyone in Amway is ALWAYS "going places". Usually straight to the poorhouse and divorce court! Ambots always get uncomfortable when confronted with the truth. You can bet your friend got reamed out later on for being “negative”. The reason you're getting your "hands dirty" in Amway is because of the dirty money you're making scamming victims in this pyramid scheme.

Anyway, a little after 11pm…I told my friend I was heading home, he asked what did I think about the people and the testimonials and I replied they were fine. He asked about my availability to get together for coffee during the weekend and I turned him down telling him I’m not really a “deodorant and soap-door to door kind of guy”. Now, he didn’t show offense to this, but I’m certain he’d love to have retaliated instantly, instead he asked for my cell-phone number and or my email, I gave him one of my email address in case I want to humor myself someday soon. He insisted though, we definitely HAVE TO TALK, and that they could use someone like me in their venture (I’d rather drown myself than tolerate another one of these pitches).

Yup ambots always want to go for coffee and they’ll bring along their sack of shit Platinum to close the sale and sign up the victim as an IBO.

And......Better dead than an ambot!

And from marriedtoanambot let’s just send another big old FUCK YOU out to Amway Scamway and their scammer army of Ambots.

Facebook and Amway

Seeing as how Facebook stock is released for trading today I thought I would bring it up and how I remembered or don’t remember Facebook being talked about at Amway meetings.

I remember at Amway cult meetings our sack of shit Platinum would talk about Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg. I’m a little foggy on what the Amway asshole was spouting off on because he often went off on rants for an hour or so getting distracted constantly and heading off on a new rant as something else to bitch about crossed his mind.

Facebook started trading on the stock market today May 18 2012 at $38 except it shot up to an opening of $42. It hit a high of $45 before settling in around the $40 mark. If its typical of most stocks opening day will hit a high and then it will go down so often its a good idea to wait a few weeks or months before buying.

When Facebook first started many employees were offered stock options so today many of Facebook’s staff are now worth tens of millions of dollars. Many of them are in their twenties. Many of them will walk away and never work again for the rest of their lives.

A concept that is pretty much foreign when it comes to Amway. The only people who don’t have to work for the rest of their lives and have millions of dollars rolling in would be the heirs of the founders.

Ambots go around bragging that Amway made $11 billion in sales last year. I’ve had brainwashed ambots leave those comments on my blog. That’s great for the owners of the company but not so much for employees. Well unless any employees are given profit sharing options. I doubt it because I’ve had employees show up here to say that Amway gives them fuck all in benefits.

Take that 11 billion in sales. That’s not profit. That’s sales. Now comes overhead - cost of production, cost of maintaining Amway buildings, payroll, taxes, etc. I’m not sure how much is leftover after all financial obligations are met for profit for the Amway owners. Maybe a billion or so? The owners ain’t splitting their profit with the lowly employees/IBOs. They’re donating to charity so they can take less of a hit on their personal income taxes and they are living in mansions and jet setting around the world. The heirs are not showing up at Amway functions flogging their wares.

The majority of IBO’s get a commission check of around $10/month from Amway if they bought the required quota of 100PV about $300 worth of Amway products that month. That’s how Amway makes that $11 billion in sales. An army of brainwashed ambots who will keep buying these overpriced products until they get tired of losing money and quit. Its bad enough losing all that money buying Amway products when the same products can be purchased at grocery and drug stores for less, therefore saving money. I might not be getting a $10 commission check from Walmart but if I spend $75 buying the same products that it costs me $300 to buy from Amway then I’m coming out ahead. Especially since I’m buying better quality products from Walmart. I mean nothing pisses me off more than spending 3 to 4 times more money for Amway’s shitty dishwasher soap that doesn’t get my dishes clean when I can buy a better product at Walmart for a fraction of the price and I don’t have to wash dishes a second time around by hand.

I would say Facebook has probably created a lot more millionaires than Amway when it comes to people in their 20’s who can now retire and never work again.

I would say that Facebook doesn’t get called a scam or a pyramid scheme nowhere near as much as Amway does.

I would say that Facebook created a lot more people than Amway who were able to work for two to five years and then walk away and retire on their riches or have residual income rolling in for the rest of their lives.

I’d say Facebook doesn’t get accused of brainwashing and using mind control techniques as much as Amway does.

I’d say Facebook doesn’t get accused of followers losing tons of money the way Amway does. At least not yet! Who knows what the stock market will do!

I’d say Facebook doesn’t get accused of destroying marriages and causing as many divorces as Amway does.

I’d say Facebook doesn’t get accused of causing as much emotional distress as Amway does.

I’d say Facebook doesn’t get accused of ripping people off like Amway does.

So just what did our sack of shit Platinum say about Facebook? Its starting to come back to me now! Mostly he bitched about this 22 year old founder who is worth billions of dollars. The fucker was probably jealous! The typical WWDB doctrine of destroying what other people have because nothing makes those World Wide Destructive Bastards happier than when they’re destroying other people’s relationships and finances.

Mostly the sack of shit Platinum talked about using Facebook to snipe prospects into Amway. Not a good idea because Facebook will suspend your account if you’re spamming recruits.

It costs $300/month minimum to invest in “your own” Amway business. For that you get back a $10 commission check. Take that same $300 and buy 7 shares of Facebook stock. Or if you’re a CORE ambot you spend closer to $700/month investing in “your business” and you can take that $700 and buy 17 shares of Facebook stock. Even if Facebook drops in half overnight and you sell, you still make more money than that $10 you get back from Amway! And you probably have a whole lot more fun losing that money than you do losing even more money in Amway! Because when you’re losing money in Amway you still have to put up with being abused from the assholes in your Amway upline. At least when you lose money in Facebook nobody is abusing you and calling you a loser quitter negative unchristian dreamstealer when you decide to quit and sell your shares.

I know I’d rather go around bragging that I own shares in Facebook stock than bragging that I’m an Amway “business owner”. One of them gains respect in the eyes of the person you told that too. The other sinks you a few notches down the old shithole that you’re a dumb ass for putting your money into a pyramid scheme.

My Husband is Married to Amway!

“My husband is married to Amway!” Those could be my words but instead someone found their way to my blog by Googling my husband is married to Amway.

Been there done that. The resulting baby is a blog called Married to an Ambot!

Its a horrible helpless feeling when your husband is married to Amway which also means he’s married to the assholes in his upline. There was a time when your husband vowed to love honor and cherish his wife. Unfortunately when he signed up with the Amway cult he stopped loving honoring and cherishing his wife and he now loves honors and cherishes Amway and the Amway assholes in his upline.

The Amway cult group we were part of WWDB is better referred to as World Wide Destructive Bastards because all the assholes in this cult want to do is destroy other people’s lives.

The first thing the assholes in your husband’s Amway upline want to do is drag the wife into the cult. If the wife is also brainwashed then its easier to convince both of them to spend hundreds of dollars each month buying shitty overpriced Amway products, buy CD’s and books, and attend every Amway meeting and function.

If the wife is like me they probably attend some so they’ve got some idea of the creepy brainwashing worshipping shit that goes on at Amway cult meetings.

If the wife is like me and can’t stand the fucking asshole that sponsored them into Amway she’s not too likely to show up anywhere - whether it be an Amway meeting or a Rolling Stones concert - if that fucking asshole is planning to be there.

If the wife is like me and can’t stand the sack of shit Platinum Amway cult leader then she’s also going to avoid being anywhere that fucker is.

If the wife is like me and doesn’t want overpriced shitty useless substandard Amway products in the house she is going to go out and buy reasonably priced products that she actually needs and wants that taste good or get the cleaning job done and face the wrath of the Amway cult for not supporting their business.

If the wife is like me she’s going to say if the only customers your business has is yourself then you’re a fucking moron!!!!

The wife is not going to be at all impressed by the amount of money that is being sucked out of them thanks to her husband being married to Amway.

The wife is not going to be too happy at all the time her husband is forced to spend with the assholes in his Amway upline thanks to her husband being married to Amway.

The wife is going to hate the personality change that comes over her husband thanks to being brainwashed by the Amway cult and being married to Amway. The nice man she married has now become a condescending sneering Amway asshole who has the attitude that he is better than everyone else simply because he is in Amway and they’re not.

The husband also becomes paranoid of all things that he deems to be “negative”. This would be everyone and anything that has a different opinion than his sack of shit Platinum cult leader. Yup, the wife can thank her husband being married to Amway for the brainwashed demon ambot he has become.

The Amway assholes in her husband’s upline are now brainwashing the ambot that his wife is an unsupportive, negative, unchristian dream stealer and that he would be better off without her. That’s all part of the ulterior motive of WWDB World Wide Destructive Bastards to separate their cult followers from anything that has the potential to cut off the money supply flowing upwards to them. The only thing that brings Amway assholes happiness is destroying other people’s lives. Yet another joy that comes to the wife thanks to her husband being married to Amway.

The husband has now become a bigamist because he is also married to Amway. Cult brainwashing complete: Amway is the only thing that all ambots must truly love over and above everything else.

In this day and age most women will not tolerate a husband who has a love interest relationship outside their marriage. Some women might try to hold their marriage together and give the husband an ultimatim - your mistress or me - forgive him, go for counselling, and rebuild their marriage. Other women will kick the bastard to the curb and file for divorce. And I’m talking about Amway here not a real live woman girlfriend. Hard to tell the difference isn’t it?

Most women who say “my husband is married to Amway” - one way or another won’t be saying it for a whole lot longer.

On behalf of all women whose husbands are married to Amway I want to send a big old fuck you to the Amway assholes in the upline!

If You Don’t Attend Amway Meetings What Happens?

An ambot who must be on the verge of quitting posed the question “if you don’t attend Amway meetings what happens” into the old Google search engine.

Well first of all and most importantly you will feel a tremendous amount of relief that you have escaped from an Amway cult meeting! No brainwashing tonight!

The next thing that happens is that you’ll be up shit creek with your Amway upline. Remember how when you were a kid and your mother used to bitch at you everytime you brought a frog or snake into the house? Well your mama ain’t got nothing those Amway assholes who will bitch and bitch and bitch because you didn’t show up for a meeting!

When we started attending Amway meetings our sack of shit Platinum used a whiteboard to show the top 5 most important things in his life and this is the order we should follow in our lives.

1. God
2. Spouse
3. Family
4. Job
5. Amway

I’ve gone over this before. If I ain’t number one on my spouse’s list there will be hell to pay later!

The real Amway list of order of importance goes like this:

1. Amway
2. Amway
3. Amway
4. Amway
5. Amway

When you’re a brainwashed Amway ambot there ain’t NOTHING in your life that comes ahead of Amway. NOTHING!

If you skip a meeting because your spouse or family has something else planned or you got called in to work, the fucking assholes in your Amway upline will phone and text and bitch and bitch and bitch at you for missing a “very important” Amway meeting. And they ain’t done giving you shit just for the one meeting. The sack of shit Platinum will mock and ridicule you to the group of people who did who up for the Amway meeting and the next time you show up the sack of shit Platinum will mock you and embarrass you in front of the other ambots for your disobedience because you have a life and had something else to do than go to a fucking Amway cult meeting.

So that answers the question of the hell you’ll go through by the Amway upline assholes if you miss an Amway meeting.

And really why even do an Internet search to find the answer to that question because you pretty much know the answer because you’ve been to other Amway meetings when an ambot didn’t show up and listened to the sack of shit Platinum rant about it for an hour. You know what’s going to happen when those Amway assholes gossip about the missing ambot. You’ve heard it before and been part of the ambot group mentality who laughed at the expense of the dumb ass ambot who dared not to show up for an Amway cult meeting.

The bigger picture is once you miss an Amway meeting then its easier to miss another Amway meeting and then another and another and then skip the next Amway function. That’s what the upline Amway assholes are afraid of. Missing ambot = missing money going into their pockets. Once an ambot stops going to Amway meetings and listening to the fucked up Amway assholes on CDs and functions they begin to deprogram themselves and stop buying shitty overpriced useless Amway products. With a clearer head they realize they’re not making money in Amway and start looking around on the Internet and realize that 99% of IBO’s lose money. That suggests that “success is not right around the corner” as the Amway upline assholes pretend it is.

Yup. Good bye! See ya!

But hey what happens if you still want to hang out with the assholes in your Amway upline? Maybe you actually like the destructive bastards. You can still be friends right?

Nope. Amway assholes are only friends with people who pay them to be friends by buying Amway products and motivational tools. These greedy bastards are not friends with anyone who is not giving them money.

So what happens if you don’t attend an Amway meeting?

Once you get past the shit kicking the Amway upline assholes give you and that abuse is going to make most people not want to go to any more Amway meetings then a peaceful calm descends over your life once again. You start to get your financial situation under control. Emotionally you start to get your life back on track and repair relationships you destroyed while in the Amway cult.

The best part is you no longer have to put up with Amway assholes!

It is so liberating to say to your Amway upline: FUCK YOU!

Or in my case blog: fuck you Amway assholes!

Worst Tax Shelter? Amway, Horses, or Drag Cars?

When we attended Amway cult meetings our sack of shit Platinum - and other cult leaders - always said if nothing else Amway is a good tax shelter because you can write off everything related to Amway. That is how most ambots make their income from Amway in the form of a tax refund by writing off Amway expenses against the income from their day job. Luckily our accountant refused to include Amway on our taxes saying she only deals with legitimate businesses not pyramid schemes. When it comes to tax deductions you don’t want to be screwing around. If you leave yourself wide open for an audit and you’re including all the Amway groceries and cleaning shit plus tickets to Amway functions and the related expenses of getting there, you may find yourself paying back what you scammed out of Uncle Sam plus fines, plus jail time. A good accountant lets their clients know when they might be leaving themselves open for a closer look. Ambots have been brainwashed to believe that hiring professionals such as accountants is a waste of their money. Money that could be better spent on Amway products and tools. Instead “counsel with upline” for your tax advice and what expenses can be written off.   

Yup fools taking advice from fools!

Pretty scary. And absolutely ambots in our WWDB line were taking this bad advice.

Here’s a recent post by Peter Reilly on the Forbes blogs where he again states that Amway (phony) business owners don’t do so well in tax court when the IRS audits them for the phony business expenses they claim. Well what else do you expect from phony business owners who pretend they’re big shots in Amway! However most of the blog is devoted to a horse breeder apparently an industry that the IRS audits as much as Amway IBO’s except the breeders seem to come out better than IBOs!


Usually after Peter writes about Amway IBO tax cases a few dumb ass ambots show up to preach their canned Amspeak responses to him and want to debate what a great business opportunity Amway is. They do whatever they can to discredit other sources that tell the truth about Amway including one ambot who left a comment that Peter had murdered his mother. That's gotta be a big shock when someone accuses you of a serious crime you never committed! But what else do you expect from an Amway asshole. Deny, discredit, distract. Whatever they can get away with because they have no morals and don’t give a shit about destroying other people’s lives. So far no ambots have shown up to bitch at him on his latest post but that may be because the majority of his post was devoted to other hobbyists.

Here’s links to a couple of other posts he’s written about Amway ambots going up against the tax man.


           
And of course no post of mine would be complete without cursing out my Amway upline so here it is:

Fuck you and the champagne horse you rode in on!

And you’ll have to read Peter Reilly’s blog to understand that one

Spring Leadership Bullshit is Over!

Spring Leadership is over? Not really. Its only getting started for thousands of ambots making the pilgrimage to the annual WWDB Amway brainwashing meeting to pour more money into the tool scam and make their upline Diamonds at the top of the pyramid richer. Amway WWDB Spring Leadership is on this weekend April 13, 14, 15 2012 in Las Vegas. The title of this post refers to when Spring Leadership that Ambot attended had come to an end. I am getting a ton of hits on the old search engines for Spring Leadership 2012 except for a few loser ambots who don't know what year it is and are searching for information for Amway Spring Leadership 2011. Dumb ass ambots were probably told by their cult leaders that just because they're in Amway that gives them the power to turn back time. 

The Amway WWDB Spring Leadership brainwashing conference has come to an end.

Yee haw!

Let’s get in the car and get the hell out of here ASAP! We have a long drive ahead of us and about 3 hours left of daylight. The highway is going to be packed very quickly with IBO’s wanting to get the hell of out Dodge. I want to get ahead of as many of those brainwashed jerks as fast as I can and keep driving until sunset and then find somewhere to eat.

Ambot got out of the stadium fast enough but the fucking Eagle and a couple of his downline are hot on his heels. I was waiting in a 5 minute passenger pick up/drop off zone with a bunch of taxis in front of the arena so I didn’t have to pay for parking. Ambot shows up with the entourage in tow and announces the others want to go to Red Lobster for dinner and he’d like us to join them.

Hell no! I don’t want to eat dinner with those World Wide Destructive Bastards!

As much as I like eating at Red Lobster I have no interest in dining with a bunch of kiddies, one of them being the young lady who came down to the hotel dining room in her jammies. I just want to get going and put some miles behind us while we still had daylight. I had no idea where the Red Lobster was in this town but lets say 15 minutes or so to figure that out and in the past my dining experiences there have taken at least an hour. We’d be burning daylight. I don’t think so. I’m just as happy stopping at Denny’s at nightfall for a burger. Less expensive too. We’re not like the rest of those tax cheating IBO’s. Our accountant don’t let us claim NOTHING to do with Amway on our tax return because our accountant only deals in legitimate businesses not pyramid schemes.

Ambot looks disappointed but gets in the car.

Spring Leadership is done for another year.

Amway WWDB Spring Leadership sucks!!!!!

Fuck you bastards!

You’re NOT Invited to Top Secret Spring Leadership Meetings!

Seeing as how Amway WWDB Spring Leadership 2012 is HOT on the search engines right now I’m keeping my blog near the top by resurrecting some previous posts of Spring Leadership memories. I’ve said it all before so I don’t have too much new to add! But I’ll keep reeling in dumb ass ambots desperate for any information!

On Sunday morning I’m driving Ambot to the arena where Amway WWDB Spring Leadership is being held. I’ve got to circumnavigate the entire complex to get to the front doors so I can get Ambot there early enough to stand in line with all the other keeners. I’m about two blocks away when Ambot spots the sack of shit Platinum standing on a sidewalk or parking lot area with about 30 cult followers standing around him in awe listening to him spout off his bullshit. Fucking morons! Worshippers of the World Wide Destructive Bastards cult!

Ambot panics! He’s late for some meeting that he doesn’t remember being told to attend. He’s mostly scared shitless because he’ll be berated by the sack of shit Platinum and ridiculed in front of everyone for being late. That’s the way Amway cult leaders operate. Fear and obedience. Because I’d rather tell everyone in my upline to fuck off than listen to their lies I’d never make a good Amway cult follower! So I let Ambot out of the car and continued alone to entertain myself for the day.

Later Ambot tells me when he’s rushing to join up with the cult followers that the Platinum’s henchman springs out of the group and wants to know what he’s doing there. Ambot explains we were driving past and he saw the cult leader preaching to his flock and didn’t want to miss out on this very important meeting that he clearly was not invited to.

The henchman explains its for another World Wide Destructive Bastards downline in the sack of shit’s Amway business and because Ambot is in a different crossline and the brainwashing methods are different he was not invited to this cult meeting.

Splitting hairs, the henchman is in the same line as Ambot so why is he being subjected to this other line’s brainwashing? Ah ha some cult followers are just gluttons for punishment! Or there’s some MLM espionage going on!

But then the henchman tells Ambot he can stay if he wants to. And of course he does. Can’t miss a word of wisdom from the beloved cult leader.

Amway WWDB Spring Leadership sucks!!!!

World Wide Destructive Bastards suck!!!!

The fucking sack of shit Platinum sucks!!!!!

Put All Your Eggs In The Ambot Basket

Seeing as how its Easter I thought it makes sense to talk about putting all your eggs in one basket!

Now thats a saying I don’t recall hearing at any Amway meeting - not putting all of your eggs in one basket. But most people have heard that phrase plenty of times in their life from their parents, their teachers, their banker, etc.

The only time I remember that phrase being used was by our arrogant prick sponsor who said when he’s recruiting prospects that he starts putting fear into people about their job and how he hopes they don’t have all their eggs in one basket because they’ll be finished.

Well what else do you expect from a rotten little bastard like him?

Captain Fuck Up doesn’t have eggs to put in ANY basket!

Diversify! A word that shall never be spoken at an Amway meeting because the activities involved in diversifying take away time and dollars from the Amway cult leaders efforts to earn an income doing the Amway pyramid scheme thing. Instead the opposite is taught: put all your eggs in one basket. The one that belongs to the Amway hen house!

Basically diversifying means investing in a variety of assets and spreading the risk around in case one venture fails there are other assets on the go that might turn out better. Before diversifying its a good idea to figure out your own risk tolerance and how much money you can afford to lose should things not work out so good.

In Amway, be prepared to “invest” at least $10,000 a year on Amway products, attending functions, and buying tools.

If you’ve got a better use for that $10,000, I recommend that’s the road you take! Why? Because you ain’t gonna make back your investment! Thats why! Amway is a scam! Same as any other scam with promises of big riches on a small investment. Except that it turns out being a huge $$$ investment and no money back or maybe a few bucks a month after spending $500 to $700 to make that $10 or $15 commission check from Amway. Getting scammed like that turns ambots into really nasty people.

Say someone has $150 kicking around in a savings account and an IBO is trying to get them to “invest” in their own business as an Amway IBO. The person doesn’t want to risk all their $150 in Amway and in this case is probably ignorant of the hundreds of dollars on top of that each month to buy Amway products and attend Amway functions because you don't find that out until after you've been sucked into the lies. On the other hand that $150 is only getting half a percent interest in the savings account. But that person might be comfortable risking $100 of that $150 and buying 100 shares of a stock that’s currently selling for $1 a share. The worst thing that can happen is the stock takes a nosedive and they lose their $100 but not all is lost because they still have $50 sitting in the bank’s savings account. Or the stock might take off and at the end of the year is worth $25 a share.

When considering diversifying, a homeowner might decide to invest in a second house using the equity in their main residence as a down payment and renting out the other house - hopefully for a few bucks more than the mortgage. In twenty years the mortgage will be paid off. At this point the owner has the choice of continuing to rent the house and all the rental income is now profit with some deductions for city taxes and general maintenance as the house gets older and things like the roof and hot water tank need to be replaced. It now becomes residual income, more than most IBO’s will ever see! Or else the house can be sold and the equity is profit to the owner.

Some people who are incredibly talented and lucky make a living playing poker or gambling, investing in the stock market, or flipping houses.

Whatever they’re doing they’ve found a way to diversify. Words that never should be spoken at an Amway cult meeting! Probably because when people are looking at their investments and figuring out which ones they should cut loose, they start with whatever one is losing money.

Toss out Scamway! Losing money! Useless baggage!

Here’s a laugh. Our arrogant prick sponsor told us he’s always looking for ways to diversify his income, talking about investments. This son of a bitch who can't hold down a job, is always behind on his bills, is a renter always under the threat of eviction, drives old beater cars, and never has any money. Diversify what income! What disposable income does he have lying around? I think finding ways to invest would be an impossibility for him. Its always nice to dream though.

Oh wait. That’s what Amway’s all about. Dreams! Gotta suck in those cult followers somehow!

Don’t be stupid! Get your eggs out of the Amway basket!

Whooping It Up At Amway WWDB Spring Break (oops!) Leadership!

Continuing with my series on what its like at Amway WWDB Spring Leadership I originally wrote this last year but I’m bringing it up again for new readers. This is to describe some of the behind the scenes bullshit that goes on at Amway functions. Most of the new recruits are young IBO’s and are attending an Amway function for the first time. Possibly one of the first times they’ve been away from home and not vacationing with mommy and daddy and are using Spring Leadership as party time. For christsakes go to Fort Lauderdale for your shenanigans if you want to party party party! Be cheaper than attending a shitty WWDB Amway function like Spring Leadership.

Ambot and I went for a walk later in the evening and when we returned to the hotel the clerks were still flipped out from dealing with the brainwashed henchman and reinforcing to him how his credit card was being charged hundreds of dollars for the hotel rooms he held in his name and guaranteed with his credit card for payment. On top of that I gather some IBO’s were behaving badly and they were dealing with hotel guests phoning complaints to the desk. Think Spring Break in Fort Lauderdale. Great just what we want. A bunch of drunken IBO’s in various stages of dress or undress whooping it up in the hallways while room hopping.

I mean really. Who believes when the upline designates girls in one room and boys in another room that they’re really going to abide with the sleeping arrangements?

The hotel we were staying at had a complimentary light breakfast. Cereals, breads, donuts, fruit, yogurt, coffee, that sort of thing. The restaurant - and I use that term lightly - perhaps dining room is a better choice of words - the place where the food was set out and tables and chairs set up. The hotel staff said they had to keep an eye on who was walking through their lobby in the morning looking for free food. Must be a lot of hungry locals around!

There were other guests in the hotel besides Amway conventioneers and it was busy when we got to the dining room. An IBO we knew, a young lady in her 20’s, was sitting at a table with three others. The other three were dressed in their business attire ready to get going to Spring Leadership. She was in her jammies! I mean what the fuck? Have some respect girl! You are in a public place, a restaurant using the term loosely, full of other hotel guests and hotel staff keeping the food stocked up. Did you not notice how everyone else managed to pull their clothes on before leaving their hotel rooms? Even the family with the two little kids are fully dressed. And you’re in your pj’s and slippers. Incredible! And its not like your room is across the hall and you can duck over and back before anyone spots you. You had to walk down a hallway and ride an elevator to get here potentially passing other hotel guests, not all of whom are ambots.

Maybe it was just the air in this town. I went for a walk and when I returned there was a woman in her pyjamas standing in the garden in front of the hotel letting her dog do its business there. And here I thought it was bad enough to be wandering around inside the hotel in your jammies and here’s someone outside the hotel in her pj’s. And this woman had to be in her forties. We’re not talking some kid here.

Do you ladies not have any sense of common decency and what is appropriate to wear in public and what’s not? I have no idea if the dog lady was with Amway but I know the one in the dining room was. Perhaps Amway should send a message out to their IBO’s and quote Mary Kay who says the first thing you do in the morning is get dressed to your shoes. That means you get out of bed and put on the outfit you’re wearing that day, make up, and shoes. You have to be ready to greet anyone who comes to your door unexpectedly. Also means if you have to leave the house in a nanosecond that you’re ready to grab your keys and go.

Time for me to drive Ambot to the convention center and then I can spend the rest of the day relaxing by the pool and reading my book.....

Amway WWDB Spring Leadership sucks!!!!

And wastes time and money!!!!!

Holding An Amway Grand Opening

Seeing as how I get lots of people doing searches on how to do an Amway grand opening and end up at my blog I thought I should write another post about our grand opening for new readers.

The first time I heard the term “grand opening” was when this arrogant prick friend of my husband’s that I have never liked was holding an Amway grand opening and Ambot wanted to stop by the bastard’s house because we were out in the area that day and the bastard was having a BBQ. Though thinking back maybe whatever else we were doing that day was just a ruse to get us in that part of town so we could support his grand opening. I probably said something to the effect what a fucking loser that asshole is for getting involved in Amway and I warned my husband not to buy any of that useless overpriced Amway shit. We got there and I wasn’t impressed with anything but some could say that would probably be mostly due to the fact that I can’t stand the asshole and would never be impressed with anything he’s got going on. My husband poured me an XS energy drink, I think cranberry. I took a sip and told him it tasted like cat piss. I think he was drinking root beer XS so I tried that and told him it tasted like toothpaste that a cat had pissed on. They had a bunch of shitty Amway products on display. I told his wife that we’d been involved in Amway before and hadn’t made any money and we couldn’t persuade anyone we knew to come to Amway meetings or buy any of the shit.

What I didn’t know was that the Amway cult leaders had already started brainwashing my husband. Unfortunately Ambot didn’t learn his lesson the first time around. How’s that quote go? Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it. We were doomed to lose more money thanks to his fucking asshole friend and the Amway cult. Except this time was the sheer evil horror of the Amway cult that also brought with it emotional distress because of the horrible evil fucking assholes that were in our Amway WWDB upline. That horror didn’t happen the first time so this was what they meant when they talked about how Amway had changed since the first time we’d been in. Amway now meant dealing with horrible evil scum of the earth greedy bastards out to destroy relationships of anyone who didn’t submit to the Amway cult leaders.

The assholes in our upline said we must hold a “grand opening” as soon as possible after getting started in our Amway business so everyone would know that we were Amway distributors (how embarrassing is that to admit!) and could order products from us. This was also the time to sign up new IBO’s who were interested in starting their own business. Let’s see. Our circle of friends hasn’t changed much in the past 10 years. The people Ambot bugged the last time around in Amway who weren’t interested were the same ones he’d be harrassing again.

We chose a date and decided to hold a BBQ at our house. Amway does not sell stuff normal people would have at a BBQ - hamburgers, buns, condiments, salad, cake, ice cream, etc. Seeing as how Ambot had high expectations of a huge crowd off we went to Costco to stock up for the BBQ.

Grocery bill tally for the BBQ Grand Opening - about $150.

We printed up invitations and gave them out to a lot of people including all neighbors. Ambot actually knocked on doors and spoke with the neighbors and handed them an invitation. He also sniped a few people who happened to be walking past our house while we were outside gardening.

The grand opening was an afternoon event from 1pm to 5pm. Our first guest showed up around 1. He had other plans so was just planning to grab a burger, take a look at some of the Amway products, and hear a little bit about the business.

Actually this fellow was about as close as we ever got to signing up a downline with the exception of the one friend who signed up and then quit a couple of weeks later. This fellow came to a board plan and was interested and liked the IBO’s and their fakey nicey nice act. Then a mutual friend told him Amway was a scam and he backed off. Ambot was pissed off at our friend who had the gall to say Amway is a scam.

Funny how he agrees with that statement now!

Then it got quiet for a couple of hours. Ambot went into the house to watch TV. Things picked up closer to 4pm. Some of our hungry elderly neighbors were happy to come over for free food. One of them even noticed some of the products displayed on a table and triumphantly, disgustedly declared “this is Amway”. A neighbor and his kids came over too. The fellow had never heard of Amway so Ambot gave him a good run down on the business. He was sure he’d found a prospect. Wrong. They moved shortly after that.

Bottom line is as far as promoting the Amway business the grand opening was useless. Like everything else in Amway holding an Amway grand opening is a total waste of time and money. Fortunately most of the food we bought could be frozen or had a good enough shelf life that we were able to consume them later.

Some of the upline dropped by that evening and when they heard that the grand opening resulted in no prospects or customers they tried to get us to hold another grand opening as soon as possible. Nope. Never happened. We could have held a million Amway grand openings and the attendance and results wouldn’t have changed. This was exactly the same thing as happened when we were involved in Amway several years earlier. We invited everyone we knew and lot of people we didn’t know too and maybe a handful showed up for the free food and never resulted in any sales or signing up new IBO’s.

So to the people who keep showing up at my blog looking how to hold an “Amway grand opening” - don’t waste your time or money. Get out now before you face further embarrassment and financial losses and emotional distress.

Amway sucks!

WWDB = World Wide Destructive Bastards and its named that for a reason - it is out to destroy your relationships! WWDB sucks! STAY AWAY!!!!!

But what really sucks are the fucking assholes you’re forced to deal with in your WWDB upline. That is the worst thing about belonging to the Amway cult. The horrible evil people you meet and the way they treat you.
