The up-line diamonds and the administrative bigshots like De Vos worship money. The struggling IBOs and others slaving in the trenches of the business worship hope and dreams. This is a major divide in the world of Amway-Quixtar. All of the horrid cultic practices and abuses that have been described above are explicable simply in this way: the up-line bigshots terrorize people in order to keep the money flowing upwards to themselves, while the low-level victims tolerate the indignities out of a sense of religious devotion to a bizarre belief system. Amway-Quixtar is a very pernicious and pathological cult.

The ones who weren't on diet where overweight from fast food. Because they spend endless hour prospecting or meetings.

Literally). Cult techniques of brainwashing I saw there in the least subtle way imaginable: Love bombing, rejection of old values, confusing doctrine, meta communication, verbal abuse, sleep deprivation, dress code, confession, finger pointing, financial commitment, guilt, and fear. He yells at random moments to startle you and get your attention so you are fed whatever word he just yelled harder. He uses high or silly voices to mock people continuously that are either really in his life or that he made up (another popular technique). I mean... I know not everyone is at the same maturity level or age but how does this happen? I mean what makes a person brainwashable? I see it all so clearly like every technique is a different color when he talks and I'm his exact target audiance (I've always lived in some form of low class or poverty).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494309285043063074.post-38681149157940203712015-01-15T06:56:11.066-08:002015-01-15T06:56:11.066-08:00This is just some random blogger that believes tha...This is just some random blogger that believes that any MLM doesnt work.. ok that's your opinion, quit trying to poisen people with your opinions that no MLM works.. business owners and working at walmart or a career is better working part-time or full time for 60 years until you die.. ok believe that thenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494309285043063074.post-1060047368734274232015-01-14T21:54:57.699-08:002015-01-14T21:54:57.699-08:00Thanks for commenting.

I knew there was something screwy going on with this Amway scheme, as I see others around me get sucked in by it just because they are losing weight - they are becoming brainwashed and pending money on useless products. I am glad of this recent post - it just confirms my suspicions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
