My husband and I we...Could not agree more, JoeCool. My husband and I were involved nearly four years, and were completely brainwashed by the cult BWW. We went into major debt because we were doing all 9 core steps everyday. if you were serious about building a business, this is what you did. Of course we were serious. We are both really hard workers and believed what we were being told. "If the dream is big enough, the facts don't count." We had all our dreams posted all over our house, and yet became broker by the day, attending EVERY function, buying so many cds each month, standing order, bmp, traveling everyday and spending hours everyday to go meet people to sponsor into the business. We were good little ambots. I won't go into detail about what caused me to open my eyes, because I can imagine an upline might read this and know who it is. We have been out nearly a year now and our upline still texts and calls my husband. Our upline "Platinum"(who knows if this is true, because once qualified you always hold your title irregardless if you've fallen down to 100pv) had a diamond call my husband. He told him how one time while building his business he went through rough patches and his wife got sick, but he continued building the business and told my husband to not be ashamed that he isn't doing anything in our business right now and to keep the dream in front of him. Hmmm, let me think about that. Health challenges for a year, over $60,000 in debt, and worrying for my marriage. Give me a break! They are life suckers and thieves. I now know why God wasn't blessing us in this so called greatest opportunity...it's because it's all a lie and the only way to move up is by many other people losing lots of time, energy, money, respect, dignity, honor,etc,etc. I apologize to anyone that lost money because we shared this with them. It breaks my heart. Also, I'd like to mention,of all the hours upon hours spent meeting people, sponsoring, buying products, creating customers, going to every function, listening to every cd multiple times, etc over a FOUR year consistant period, we never made it past 1000pv. Please whatever you do, DO NOT JOIN!!! I wish I would have read at least one blog or article(but told the internet is like a bathroom wall..anyone can write anything, doesn't make what you read the truth), then maybe I wouldn't have wasted so much money, energy, and time. I gave up on my real dream to pursue amway/bww pie in the sky scheme. My husband and I finally have our relationship back and we do fun things as a family and actually save money now instead of giving it to those vultures. Thank you for what you do JoeCool. You are making a difference!!!!<br /> you and many others' stories helped open my eyes even more once I started questioning things. God bless you and your family!.

And guess what? ...Joe Cool, this is a great post.<br /><br />And guess what? No Amway asshole will dare to come here and answer the points you have made. Why? Because THEY CAN'T.<br /><br />There is no "business mentality" in Amway. You can't "buy from yourself" and make a profit from that. To "ignore the facts" is a recipe for disaster. And always "submitting to up-line" is just another way of saying "Heil Hitler, mein Fuhrer."<br /><br />Let's see if some Amway buffoon has the balls to come here and argue the case. Come on, Ambots -- we're just waiting to wipe the floor with you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
