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!

Anna Banana is a Disgruntled Amway Artistry Model

Yup someone finally figured it out. A Google search for "Is Anna Banana from married to an ambot a disgruntled Artistry Model?" and I knew they had me!

So I decided to post a pic from my modeling heyday. I just know that everyone will be so envious and dying to know how they too can achieve this styling look. The biggest tip I can give is to get your makeup application advice from IBOFB. He is also available to give instructions on how to insert Amway's prestige tampons! For a price of course!

Yes you too can look like an Artistry model if you buy overpriced substandard Amway Artistry cosmetics!

A Message to the Pervert Ambot from Wisconsin

Nothing really surprises me when it comes to ambots who end up at my blog after doing some whacked out search.

So this ambot from Wisconsin ends up at my post Walk Across That Stage after doing a search for “Amway IBO nude photos”

I mean really. I can’t think of any Amway IBO that I’d want to see nude photos of. Its bad enough I have vivid memories of what they all look like fully clothed. Naked? No thanks!

Although I have no problem with nude photos and I wouldn’t mind coming across some nudes of George Clooney I’m not searching around the Internet looking. Too many of those sites carry viruses.

Kind of reminds you of the guy standing on the street corner wearing a trench coat who says Psst hey buddy wanna buy some pictures of naked IBO’s. Eeeww yuck gross no thanks. Got any of George Clooney?

No seriously you give me a thousand bucks and I’ll take those nudie IBO pix and burn them for you. Nobody needs to see that!

Sorry to disappoint you people but I have no interest in posting photos of nude IBO’s onto my blog. The fact that I was #10 on the old Google search engine tells me he may or may not have had any luck with the first 9 web pages he visited! I realize that I’m pretty high up there on the search engines when it comes to searching for just about any Amway related information and I’m sure this post is going to hit #1 very quickly in case Wisconsin Pervert Ambot does another search mission.

Come on guy. Just go to the drugstore and pick up an issue of Penthouse or Playboy or whatever turns your crank and pretend you are looking at IBOs.

Ambots Cheating on Their Significant Others

Due to a couple of recent comments about how the Amway cult continues to destroy lives I thought I’d revist a post I wrote over a year ago.

I started writing Married To An Ambot as kind of a healing process for me to curse out my former upline and get the word out about what happens at Amway meetings and the upline abuse. In doing so I was hoping to reach out to other women who are in similar situations or were at one time. Our stories might have some differences but they are the same. I was involved with upline who I feel to this day are truly horrible, evil troublemakers. If I help other women get their husbands/boyfriends out of Amway and away from their destructive upline, then writing this blog is all worth it.

Usually it is our husbands who are approached by a friend who tells them about an amazing business opportunity. A home based business where they work 10 to 15 hours a week and can earn an extra $800 a month or more (!) by selling Amway products and signing up other IBO’s who will also purchase Amway products and sign up others to do the same, and so on and so on. At first the wife might be sceptical. You know the old phrase about how if it sounds too good to be true it probably is. The numbers look good on paper but in actuality it doesn’t seem believable that this can this be pulled off. The old saying about if it was really this easy then everyone would be doing it and making money comes to mind.

When our husbands get excited about something we want to be supportive. It doesn’t take long before we stop being supportive and end up getting more and more pissed off. Husband is sneaking around like he has a mistress on the side. And sure enough he does. A mistress called Amway. He’s out of the house for endless hours attending Amway meetings sneaking back in the house in the early morning hours after we’ve gone to sleep. He’s spending money like crazy on his mistress. Money he doesn’t have so he uses a line of credit, home equity loan, or credit cards. You know when he whips out the plastic he pretends he’s not really paying for it. After all it is a pretend business. That is until the bills roll in and then paying back real money you owe is not so pretend any more.

After awhile the wife has had enough. She never sees her husband and their bank account is diminishing while their debt is going through the roof. “Choose your mistress or choose me.” Fortunately most men come to their senses and realize for all their hard work, time, and effort they are not getting the money back that was dangled in front of them when they were first looking into this exciting business opportunity and they stop going to Amway meetings and throwing away their money.

That’s the short version of every wife’s horror tale about their husband’s Amway mistress.

I was lucky that my Ambot came to his senses. This was because he’d had enough of the upline’s abuse and his realization that the promised money just was not there. He left his Amway mistress. All the people who promised to be his good friends forever and ever abandoned him. That might have been the hardest thing. He actually liked these people and thought they liked him. Wrong. They only liked his money because he was helping make their dreams come true.

Amway - Free Gift After Quitting

I just know I'll never see it all when it comes to search criteria for people finding their way to my blog.

And you know me, always up for finding some new keywords to add to my blog!

So this searcher Googles "Amway free gift after quitting".

Kind of on par with the searchers who are looking for a free gift for signing up with Amway.

Yeah right. Everyone's laughing now!

Those of us who have sunk in lot of money to the Amway pyramid scheme know that there ain't nothing free in Amway!

I managed to find an image that pretty much sums up the free gift for quitting Amway. This is the freebie you get from everyone in your Amway upline. And as you can see even its not quite free.....

You have to pay for any words of wisdom from the Amway cult leaders!

Who's Really Running the Scam?

Anna Banana has been accused of running a scam from my Married to an Ambot blog from an anonymous poster from Bangalore, Karnataka, India, ironically enough on a post I wrote about how Amway causes hate and rage cause this person must really be feeling the hate and rage from Amway or I doubt they would have dropped by to read. http://marriedtoanambot.blogspot.com/2011/09/amway-creates-hate-and-rage.html

Maybe its the language barrier?

So I checked dictionary.com for a definition of scam:

a confidence game or other fraudulent scheme, especially for making a quick profit; swindle

For those of you who don’t know a confidence game is how “con” or “con man” came into being, just a shortened version of confidence game. If you are running a confidence game you are befriending someone and gaining their confidence so that you can swindle them out of their money or other belongings.

Just like what happened to us - or more specifically my Ambot! - when we were in Amway.

So I thought I would break it down for my ignorant Indian visitor on who is really running a scam here.

	Anna Banana	Amway
Charges annual fee	no	yes
Sells useless products	no	yes
Sells overpriced products	no	yes
Sells useless products	no	yes
Sells any type of product	no	yes
Sells motivational material	no	yes
Exaggerates product benefits	no	yes
Makes phony income claims	no	yes
Sells tickets to seminars	no	yes
Causes financial distress	no	yes
Destroys marriages	no	yes
Destroys relationships	no	yes
Makes others ask permission	no	yes
Controls information	no	yes
Causes bankruptcy	no	yes
Running a cult	no	yes
Brainwashes people	no	yes
Encourages people to lie	no	yes
Labels people losers	Only ambots!	yes
Cares about people	yes	no
Tells the truth	yes	no

To recap I do not charge anyone a fee either annually or per visit to read my blog. I do not sell any products to my visitors. At least not as of November 15 2011. Who knows what the future holds? Ha ha. Really I got nothing to sell. I do not ask any readers to send me money or material possessions. Oh. If anyone has any leftover Halloween candies they want to get rid of I’d be happy to take them off your hands! Ha ha!

The thing about Anna Banana is that I do not try to get money or other items off any of my readers. I am not collecting anything other than information about what really goes on when a person is involved in Amway. I am not lying about how much money can be made in Amway. How can I be running a scam if I don’t receive some kind of benefit? What’s in it for me?

I’m afraid I have fallen victim to a brainwashed ambot who doesn’t know they’re being scammed. In their anger and confusion this anonymous poster from India is twisting the truth for their own benefit and accusing me of running a scam.

People can come here and read my Married to an Ambot blog for free. They are not being fucked over and ordered to hand over some cash before reading the next post.

Very odd. Perhaps Anonymous from Bangalore, Karnataka, India can come back and clarify how much money I’m earning from this scam of a blog because so far I ain’t seen a penny!

Blogger issues....

Nope Blogger isn't having any more maintenance issues that I'm aware of, this is more like Anna Banana's Married to an Ambot blogger comments.

Just to get the word out to anyone who leaves comments, when I first started this blog I put the comments on moderation because I'd read enough blogs written by former IBO's and controversial people leaving comments that I decided it would be in my best interest to be able to control comments.

That said, I publish all comments unless they're what could be construed as hate mongering towards any race. That's not the way I was brought up so I'm not going to tolerate it here.

Obviously publishing hateful comments about your upline or Amway is absolutely allowed here! That's what my blog is all about!

Blogger does not have the capacity to edit comments. My choices are to publish the comment or delete the comment.

If you write me a comment that you don't want published for all to see here, just let me know and I'll delete it after I read it. Unless of course you're being a jerk then I'll publish it anyway so everyone can read it! I used to have my email address on my profile but I removed it earlier this year so the only way to reach me privately is to leave me a comment and tell me to delete it instead of publishing it.

If you write a comment and I publish it and you change your mind later about what you said, if you used a Blogger profile you can delete the comment. I have no way of bringing it back, can't recover deleted comments. If you used an anonymous setting you can leave me a comment and ask me to delete it. I have no problem doing that the next time I log in - which could be a few hours....

So if you think this post is directed at you - I had to delete your comment because I can not edit it. Hope you understand. No hard feelings!

Married to an Ambot is One Year Old!

My first post was on August 26 2010 so today marks the one year anniversary of Anna Banana’s Married to an Ambot Blog!

I started writing this blog so I could get a lot of things off my chest about how we were badly treated by our Amway upline, the money we lost, the things I witnessed, and to curse out our upline. In writing my blog I was hoping it might help other wives out there stuck in this helpless place of dealing with a husband brainwashed by the Amway cult.

It became kind of clear to me as 2010 wound to a close that I was running out of stories. When you’re inside the Amway scam for under a year there is only a limited amount of bad memories to fall back on. After 4 months of blogging I was running out of material. In fact I remember bringing it up in a post I wrote earlier this year that I probably wouldn’t post quite as often because I’ve pretty much covered our Amway penance.

But just when I think that all the stories I have to tell have been told I read something that jogs a memory and I write about it. Or one of those Amway assholes phones Ambot and that motivates me to write a post cursing them out. Recently Ambot’s sponsor Captain Fuck Up phoned to say he was buying something and the price tag and wanted to know if Ambot knew where he could buy it cheaper. What? Amway doesn’t sell it? Ambot claims that Captain Fuck Up quit Amway around the same time we did but seeing as how I don’t talk to the son of a bitch I have no way of verifying that one way or the other. Someone left a comment for me a few months ago asking how do I know for sure that Captain Fuck Up still isn’t an Amway IBO. The answer is I don’t know but either way I’ll forever refer to him as that fucking Amway asshole to Ambot. I know that our former sack of shit Platinum sent the word out to all IBO’s in our former line that they’re not to have anything more to do with Ambot or me after we quit Amway. I constantly bring that up to Ambot that Captain Fuck Up is disobeying the cult leader’s orders when he phones or stops by and Ambot keeps trying to convince me that it doesn’t matter what the cult leader says because Captain Fuck Up is no longer in Amway. I say it makes no difference - there should be no contact. Yeah I wish.

In case anyone is wondering Captain Fuck Up is not allowed in our house. Whenever he stops by he parks on the street and Ambot goes out to talk to him. You’d think the dumb ass bastard would get a clue. Come on guys! If your friend’s wife won’t let you in the door that is a huge clue! Most men can figure out when their friend’s wife can’t stand them and they stay away. Most men who got their friend involved in a cult and caused a loss of money and emotional distress and know the wife is even more pissed off at him than before would really stay the hell away. Not this arrogant prick. What’s wrong with people?

So to the two most evil, hated men in our former upline - our sponsor the arrogant Captain Fuck Up and the pompous sack of shit Platinum cult leader - let me send out a good old FUCK YOU in honor of my one year anniversary of blogging. If it wasn’t for you two troublemaking bastards this blog wouldn’t exist.

I have a lot of readers, many stop by my blog daily to see if I have written a new post. I hate to disappoint them by not writing something but sometimes the well is dry. Depends what I’m doing that day too. I might be super busy or not in a writing kind of mood.

I’ve enjoyed chatting to many of you and hearing your stories. Some of the comments readers have left are very sad and heartwrenching and I always send out good thoughts that you can recover financially and emotionally from the Amway hell.

I like it when some brainwashed ambot stops by to leave a canned Amspeak response straight from a tape. Oops! Make that CD. IBOFB will be shitting his pants demanding to know where I got hold of a tape when they’ve been extinct for years. I get the typical feedback comments from brainwashed IBO’s: quitter, loser, didn’t try hard enough, negative, unchristian, lazy, dream stealer, working for somebody else, blah, blah, blah. Sometimes I have a little fun and feature their response as a new blog topic with my response back to them. Like they’re ever going to come back and read it but the rest of us can have a laugh at their expense.

A few new bloggers have even popped up in the past year: MLM Punisher, Lobotomized, and John who was writing Ambot.0 and then it fizzled. Oh wait. These are all Joecool’s aliases! I love it when a new blogger gets up and running and we can hear their story. A few people who’ve left comments on my blog have considered writing about their Amway experiences and I hope they join the blogging community one day too.

So have I accomplished what I set out to do according to the tag line on my blog?

My story of what its like to be married to an Amway cult follower. I expose the lies that our upline told and what happens at Amway meetings and functions. I leave the explanations of why Amway is a poor business opportunity or the tool scam to other bloggers. This blog mainly exists to curse out my former upline, aka the cult leaders, and to let everyone know what kind of idiots I had to put up with.

Yes, I’ve got the word out what it was like living with my husband and the Amway bullshit canned speeches he constantly flung out. Oh yeah I’ve covered many lies told by our upline. And yes for the most part I’ve left the technical explanations of the Amway business opportunity to bloggers who have more experience in this area who can spell it out in rational logical posts. For sure I’ve done a great job at using my blog to curse out my former upline! I’m sure my readers have no doubt that my upline are a bunch of fucking idiots.

So yes I’d say I’ve accomplished what I set out to do. Horrible situations that happened in our lives can benefit others only if we write down our experiences and share them. Current IBO’s and the people from Amway head office who show up to read my blog might not be too thrilled that I’m getting the truth out there about our Amway experience but that’s their problem. If Amway kept better control of their cult leaders and put a stop to downline abuse and priced their products competitively and stopped ripping off people then blogs like mine wouldn’t exist.

The one year mark doesn’t mean I’m done blogging or even slowing down as I already figured out a few months ago. Just because I think I’ve covered all the Amway horror stories I experienced doesn’t mean its so. Where do I keep coming up with this stuff?

To the women who’ve dropped me a line thanking me for my blog and letting them know they’re not alone in what they’re experiencing being married to an ambot - I say keep strong and I’m sending you good thoughts and positive vibes that your husbands see the light really soon and your escape from the Amway nightmare happens real soon.

Quitting Amway during Spring Leadership?

Although quitting Amway anytime of the year is a good idea I wonder if it happens a lot around Spring Leadership time. People who signed up with Amway during the previous year and made zippo money were undoubtedly pressured by their upline to renew their membership prior to year end and were forced to go to Dream Night in January. But its been a few more months with no income but plenty of money going out purchasing Amway products and tools. The upline pressures the disenchanted IBO to purchase tickets to Spring Leadership. Don’t give in! Buying the tickets is the cheapest part. There’s transportation, hotel, and meals on top of that. Not to mention your time. More time wasted at an Amway function. Time you will never get back.

I think spring is probably the time of year when most IBO’s quit but I have no statistics to back this up one way or the other. Spring cleaning. Get rid of the shit that is cluttering your life or not bringing you happiness. Amway is probably at the top of that list!

Anyway my blog lets me look at stats showing what people type in search engines to end up at the Married To An Ambot blog. I get some interesting search phrases such as how to say fuck in igbo which I’ll see several times a week!

Right now I get tons of hits every day from people looking for information about Spring Leadership. It would be logical to think most of these searchers are IBO’s and once the poor suckers end up here they don’t stick around to hear about how we were abused by our upline. Sometimes a city will be typed into the Spring Leadership search criteria though at the moment I don’t recall which cities. Sometimes the searcher puts in a year, usually 2011 though one searcher was recently looking for information on Spring Leadership 2010.

Just for the record I have no idea when the Amway World Wide Dream Builders Spring Leadership will be held. I also have no idea what city or cities it will be held in. I don’t know who will be speaking. I don’t know the agenda. I don’t know nothing. And I ain’t doing a Google search to learn about Spring Leadership! I’m guessing there are several locations across the states and on different dates but I have no proof one way or the other. It doesn’t interest me enough to do a search. Also apparently that information is difficult to search for otherwise I wouldn’t have so many horrified searchers ending up here. I’ve noticed that in the past. You’d think Amway and WWDB would have this information readily available near the top of the search engines for IBO’s trying to learn about Spring Leadership.

All I know is that Married To An Ambot is the top hit on Google for people looking for information about Spring Leadership! Gotta love it! More astonishing is that doesn’t seem to be a concern to WWDB or Amway. If it was they’d be in negotiations with me how much money to shut down my blog and go away.

I also get a lot of searchers every day using search criteria on how to quit Amway. Right now I’d say I get more searchers for Spring Leadership than quitting Amway but that’s only because its coming up in April. But its still alarming the number of searchers looking for information on how to quit Amway. I have some previous posts about that here and here.

Its simple. If you quit Amway then you don’t need to waste any more money going to shitty functions like Spring Leadership. Bottom line is these are motivational seminars and very little, if any, business advice is given. The IRS has already determined that Amway functions do not increase most IBO’s sales or increase their recruitment. If you think going to Spring Leadership will be a good tax write off, think again. Expect to be audited if you try to write off anything about Amway. It might not happen this year or next year. But if you piss off the wrong person they might call the cheaters hotline and suggest they look a little closer at your files.

Save your money and stay home.

Spring Leadership sucks! All Amway functions suck!

Searchers who end up at Anna Banana’s Blog

I get a lot of interesting and not so interesting Google searches that end up at my Married to an Ambot blog. Some searchers are looking for something completely unrelated to Amway and they usually leave as soon as they’ve realized their mistake. I get a few horrified IBO’s who end up here too. Most leave but a few stick around long enough to leave an Amway speak comment about how we didn’t try hard enough.

I get some searches where I say to myself, why the fuck is someone searching for that? Talk about brainwashed!

And I get people who are so  pissed off at Amway, end up at my blog, and literally spend hours reading every single post I’ve written.

What I love is my blog is high on the search engines for IBO’s who are seeking information about Spring Leadership and Dream Night. Nothing like screwing up Amway and WWDB! Of course right now its Spring Leadership that’s coming up in a couple of months and anxious IBO’s are seeking information. Instead everything high on the search are blogs similar to mine that tell what really happens at these Amway functions. We’re higher than the web pages of Amway and WWDB propaganda. What does that tell you? Us bloggers are gaining the edge getting the truth out there and getting more page views than the corporation! Yay us!

I also get a huge amount of searches looking for “Artistry Cosmetics” I’m right up there on the first page behind the Amway propaganda on Google. Doesn’t seem to bother Amway too much that I’m diverting their traffic otherwise they’d have offered to buy my blog.

A recent searcher typed in “Fuck Brad Wolgamott”. Hmm. I’m pretty sure I’ve never written that phrase! They ended up at my IBO’s are Free Labor post. Someone may have typed Brad’s name in the comments and of course my posts are full of fuck this and that so its logical to get a hit with that search criteria. I’m pretty sure I might have heard Brad Wolgamott speak at an Amway function though nothing about him stands out. Unmemorable experience for me and I have nothing to say about him. But I’m willing to help out that searcher and send out a big fuck you his way.

I get a lot of search hits for “Amway horror stories” or “Amway cult” or “cult horror stories”.

There’s a lot of people out there who don’t realize that Amway is a cult. I wouldn’t have thought so either until Ambot’s involvement and the brainwashing by his "Christian" Platinum cult leader.

I get searchers for creepy employees ending up at my Amway is Creepy post. Oddly enough I’m right below the hit for David Letterman is creepy for having sex with female employees!

I get a lot of searches for “quit Amway” or similar searches like how to get friend or husband to quit Amway. What about “big losses in Amway”? I get lots of searchers finding their way to my blog with that one too. “Annoying Amway IBO’s” in the search criteria find their way to my blog too!

Does Amway head office care that people are actually typing this stuff into search engines and coming to my blog? Do they not care that people think Amway IBO’s are annoying? Nope, not a chance. Amway head office = apathy central.

Sometimes I get people looking for an Amway IBO. Poor bastards must want to buy some overpriced Amway shit! Boy did they come to the wrong place! Well they could click on one of my Google ads that pop up from time to time, ad space purchased by Amway IBO's. Send a buck or two my way by clicking on an ad. That works for me!

What’s even more bizarre is that I get search hits for IBO’s looking for basic business information that their upline should but does not provide them with like “help with selling Amway products” or “how to hold an Amway Grand Opening”. Yup they get directed to my post about our Grand Opening and figure out real fast that no matter how much planning goes into it and how many people are invited, it’ll be a bust. I’m glad I’m getting that information out there. Don’t waste your time or money on an Amway Grand Opening!

I get 2 or 3 searchers each week looking for “how to say fuck in igbo”? They all end up at my Fuck You IBO post.

Am I the only person wondering what is igbo?

Google search! Ta da! Its a native tribe language in Nigeria.

I am the top hit for someone looking for the Igbo translation for fuck. I’m even higher on the search engine that the person who has this post: “Help! Why are my Igbo men rubbish in bed?”

Sorry I can’t help her with that one! Ha ha but I love it!

What’s really sad are the ambots who search for “World Wide Dream Builders is awesome”. Talk about brainwashed! I mean who is so infatuated with the scam that they type that into a search engine? The same type of brainwashed ambot who types in “Amway is awesome” and come to my blog thanks to the Youtube video called My Awesome Delicious Amway scam.

These must be new recruits in the early stages of the brainwashing process. Give them a year and they’ll be back doing searches like “Amway is a cult”, "Amway scam", “Amway sucks” and “lost money in Amway”.

Miss Popularity?

The Married To An Ambot blog started out as a way for me to get a few things off my chest about my upline and totally took off in a way I never would have imagined. I have a huge readership between 200 to 500 page hits a day. This month alone just over 10,000 readers have visited my blog - and we still have a few hours to go before January is over! Sure a lot of them are repeat visitors. A lot of people find me by doing Google searches and my blog is at the top of many searches. I’ve already blogged that I’m right behind the Amway propaganda when people search for Artistry.

You’d think these statistics would be somewhat alarming to Amway especially since I have regular readers from Alticor in Ada and Buena Park and occasionally from Grand Rapids and Missouri City and even Amway Germany’s head office who just love reading about what I really think about my upline. They can see the numbers on my blog’s stat counter. Pretty good for someone who’s only been blogging for about 5 months.

But oddly enough my popularity doesn’t seem to bother Amway enough to offer me the right amount of money to just go away and stop blogging. People sell websites all the time for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Millions of dollars to sell a website. I’m open to it. Anna Banana can be bought!

I’m used to apathy from Amway head office employees. We reported our Platinum right about the time we were getting out of Amway and the official response and here I’m paraphrasing: “We’re not responsible for what is said at meetings.” To some extent that is true. People can’t be responsible for lies that someone else has uttered. But who is responsible then? Who at Amway head office will take responsibility for complaints about lies told at Amway meetings? No one! Apathy central! Platinums and higher can say whatever lies they want at Amway meetings and head office isn’t going to take any action. Even when we have it recorded. Nope. Apathy city! Not interested. Not going to rock the boat. The upline brings in lots of money. Amway head office doesn’t give a shit about pursuing complaints made about Platinums and higher and that’s probably another reason why IBO’s walk away - no support from head office! That’s why bloggers like me take to the Internet and share our stories to warn other people what lies ahead of them. Others take more extreme measures judging by the lawsuits out there.

My regular readers know we weren’t in Amway very long. We never reached any significant level. Between 100PV and 300PV each month depending on how much Ambot charged to the old credit card. We never signed up any downline other than one person who quit a couple of weeks later after getting scolded by our upline for missing a meeting. We never met anyone of significant levels either. Though the pompous sack of shit Platinum would disagree and point out he’s been [in and out of] Platinum [qualification] for years and how he’s King Shit and we should have been honored to be in his presence. However we hadn’t “earned the privilege” to meet anyone of higher levels in the Amway house of cards.

So a few months involvement, never meeting anyone significant in Amway, and not attaining any level of significance, I only have limited stories. There’s only so many ways I can tell my upline to fuck off! I think I really got a lot of it out of my system with my post Fuck You IBO! It felt so good writing that down and letting go of it!

Have my stories all been told? I wasn’t in Amway long enough to have scads of stories. I wasn’t privy to any secret meetings. I didn’t meet any king pins. Although I went to major functions, monthly rallies and about 50 living room meetings I can look back through my previous posts and see I have covered a lot of our Amway penance.

Don’t worry. I don’t plan to disappoint my readers by stopping blogging, unless of course Amway pays me the big bucks to go away. Although I might be running out of stories to keep up with the momentum of regular blog posts as something jogs my memory about a horror tale during our Amway dark days I’ll keep writing. I’m just saying I don’t know if I can keep up the posting frequency I’ve managed until now. Its one of the reasons I eventually plan to organize and turn this blog into a free ebook. Maybe this year. Maybe next.

I’ve enjoyed meeting many of you through this blog and hearing your stories and and I assure you that I’m still here trying to figure out what to write next. Its just that some weeks I might be more prolific than others.

Thank you to all my readers for your support and sending me over 10,000 views for the month of January! I love having you stop by!

To the courageous women who have shared their stories, thank you and I hope to keep hearing from you. I wish you well and hope you get your lives under control without the Amway black cloud following you everywhere.

THERE IS LIFE AFTER AMWAY!

A Mistress Named Amway

I started writing Married To An Ambot as kind of a healing process for me to curse out my former upline and get the word out about what happens at Amway meetings and the upline abuse. In doing so I was hoping to reach out to other women who are in similar situations or were at one time. Our stories might have some differences but they are the same. I was involved with upline who I feel to this day are truly horrible, evil troublemakers. If I help other women get their husbands/boyfriends out of Amway and away from their destructive upline, then writing this blog is all worth it.

Usually it is our husbands who are approached by a friend who tells them about an amazing business opportunity. A home based business where they work 10 to 15 hours a week and can earn an extra $800 a month or more (!) by selling Amway products and signing up other IBO’s who will also purchase Amway products and sign up others to do the same, and so on and so on. At first the wife might be sceptical. You know the old phrase about how if it sounds too good to be true it probably is. The numbers look good on paper but in actuality it doesn’t seem believable that this can this be pulled off.

When our husbands get excited about something we want to be supportive. It doesn’t take long before we stop being supportive and end up getting more and more pissed off. Husband is sneaking around like he has a mistress on the side. And sure enough he does. A mistress called Amway. He’s out of the house for endless hours attending Amway meetings sneaking back in the house in the early morning hours after we’ve gone to sleep. He’s spending money like crazy on his mistress. Money he doesn’t have so he uses a line of credit, home equity loan, or credit cards. You know when he whips out the plastic he pretends he’s not really paying for it. After all it is a pretend business. That is until the bills roll in and then paying back real money is not so pretend any more.

After awhile the wife has had enough. She never sees her husband and their bank account is diminishing while their debt is going through the roof. “Choose your mistress or choose me.” Fortunately most men come to their senses and realize for all their hard work, time, and effort they are not getting the money back that was dangled in front of them when they were first looking into this exciting business opportunity and they stop going to Amway meetings and throwing away their money.

That’s the short version of every wife’s horror tale about their husband’s Amway mistress.

I was lucky that my Ambot came to his senses. This was because he’d had enough of the upline’s abuse and his realization that the money just was not there. He left his Amway mistress. All the people who promised to be his good friends forever and ever abandoned him. That might have been the hardest thing. He actually liked these people and thought they liked him. Wrong. They only liked his money because he was helping make their dreams come true.

Bring a Note!

The pompous sack of shit Platinum used to ride everyone's ass about not missing any Amway meetings. "There is no excuse to miss a meeting!" The cult leader would yell from his pulpit.

Let's see. Let's go back to the 5 things in order of importance that the sack of shit wrote on the whiteboard every night.

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

It would appear to me that there are 4 things higher on the list of importance than Amway that would give a cult follower an excuse to miss an Amway meeting.

But when the sack of shit finished hollering about there's no excuse not to miss a meeting, he would add that if we missed an Amway meeting, that we had to bring him a doctor's note.

What the fuck?????!!!!!

Uh, we're all adults here. Perhaps the reason we're missing an Amway meeting has nothing to do with illness or requiring a visit to the doctor. It probably has something to do with one of the other 4 reasons that are higher in importance than Amway.

Like we are really going to get a doctor's note because we had something better to do than attend an Amway cult meeting.

Perhaps the reason we're not going to an Amway meeting is we've had enough of listening to a pompous sack of shit who loves the sound of his own voice spouting off lies.
