I can’t tell you how many times I heard the Ambot parrot his upline “Don’t say negative!” This was usually after I commented on how expensive an Amway product is or how shitty it tastes.
The upline cult leaders, usually the pompous sack of shit Platinum, but occasionally the Emerald, would jabber on about don’t let negative influences into your life.
What a sheltered life that would be for people. I suppose I can see why the cult leaders don’t want their downline to be influenced by outside forces who can reason, tell them the truth, and show the IBO’s that they’re wasting their time and money on trying to build an Amway business.
They’d say don’t read newspapers, don’t watch TV, don’t listen to the radio. Most of all they’d say don’t listen to people who aren’t in Amway.
Yet these same Amway cult leaders all seemed to know what’s going on in the world. How can they do that unless they’re watching TV or reading a newspaper?
And these bastards were the most negative people around, ironically enough despite all their sermons not to allow negative influences into your life. At every Amway meeting, they’d jabber on about Starbucks locations closing down or other businesses closing their doors. They’d spout off tons of doom and gloom about the recession and people losing their jobs. The fucking assholes in the Amway upline were the most negative people around!
Drop out of Amway and that’s a big load of negative you’ll also be dropping.
