Same Old?

 There are some Amway apologists who continually likes to use "old" and "outdated" as their source of criticism against Amway critics. They use this feeble excuse as a means to defend Amway and WWDB. They claim that things have changed, and that critic's experiences are old and invalid. They say some of these things despite the fact that you can still find the same things I heard as an IBO over 25 years ago. These apologists are either wrong or purposely distorting the truth.  Some time ago, I had a WWDB IBO email me with what I opine to be somewhat current WWDB documents, and I will be posting the details below. It is exactly the same stuff I was told as an IBO more than 25 years ago.  Old habits die hard I guess. The only difference is that as an IBO, we did not use the internet to do business.  

Here's the details from the WWDB IBO's documents:
