If you are a normal thinking person who has never been a member of a cult, you might think it is a bit extreme to relocate to another state in order to get away from Amway, or more specifically the bastards in your Amway upline. I've been there myself. It was something I considered myself. I was looking at houses for sale in New Mexico and Arizona just to get the hell away from those fucking Amway morons in our upline, who were a source of constant frustration. We were fortunate in that it didn't come down to that. Just goes to show how dreadful it is dealing with Amway people and the abuse you receive from the fucking asses in your Amway upline, and how all you can think about is putting some distance between yourself and those horrible evil Amway ambots who have taken over the world. This is not because you dislike your home or the neighbourhood in which you reside, but rather because you desire to be further away from your friends and family. You think about it because you want to get away from the abuse you've been subjected to by those terrible fucking bastards in your Amway upline, and you don't want to see those assholes again in your entire life. For folks like us who own our businesses as well as the property on which they are located, it is not so simple to simply up and move and start over somewhere else. Because selling a business or selling a business and a building separately does not happen overnight, some people are unable to simply up and leave at the drop of a hat even if it is to get away from the biggest fucking jerks they have ever met in their whole lives. That is exactly what Amway does to its customers. People think about moving because of Amway when they want to get away from those jerks, which may seem like a terribly shady reason to relocate to another state, but it's what they think about when they want to get away from those jerks. Here's a storey about a woman who was forced to do it herself. I was forced to relocate out of state simply to get away from the Amway tyranny. Thank you for taking the time to share your storey!
Your foul language annoyed me, but I agree with you that Amway/Quixtar, or whatever they are calling themselves these days, is a foul "company." My husband and I were in it twice, and we were there for a long period of time. It was exactly the same thing both times. It doesn't matter "who" your upline is; the business is a complete and utter disaster. During the first few weeks of our membership, we were under so much "management," and we were being "watched," by both upline and downline, that we couldn't even go to a movie for "fear" that someone in the "group" would spot us and "report" on us to everyone else because we weren't "showing the plan." We were Direct Distributors, and we didn't make a single penny "net" from the company! It was really expensive for us! We were coerced into spending money on things like functions, recordings, tools, and so on. In the event that we did not comply, we were threatened and told that our downline would "go around us" and deal directly with our upline if we did not do as instructed. It was plain and simple mind control on their part. We were required to maintain a standing order for hundreds of tapes, and we were instructed to sell them! If we couldn't "move" them down the line, we had no choice but to "consume" them instead. They refused to buy them back, and we were compelled to purchase whatever amount our upline instructed us to purchase. They were making money from every cassette we purchased, regardless of whether or not we could afford it or whether or not we wanted to purchase them. When I expressed dissatisfaction with having to pay for all of those unloadable tapes, our upline Direct responded by saying, "Satan is just using you against me, and I need to pray against you!" More fear and trembling! For us, failing to follow instructions meant that we were no longer "in the business." We eventually relocated out of state to get away from this oppressive regime. Since the day we moved away from there and from them, I have never felt more liberated in my life!!!!!! It's pure delight! A number of years later, my husband expressed an interest in "trying again" with a different upline, believing that it was simply "the people" with whom we had been affiliated. Nope...the it's same, same, same tale as before!!!
I'm grateful today that we were able to sever our relationship with Amway. We made the right decision to leave, based on what we know now and what we didn't know at the time. It was revealed that our upline Diamond had been having a 14-year affair with his Amway secretary, with whom he had two illegitimate children. He and his wife separated and divorced. Apparently, our upline Crown was involved in an extramarital affair as well. When I look at all of the divorces among the Amway folks we knew personally, it's almost impossible to believe! You will experience this as a result of your "love of money"!!
My first spouse passed away six years ago, and I remarried four years afterwards. I discovered that the man I married had racked up a $35,000 credit card debt as a result of his connection with HerbaLife. Incredible!!! Two individuals gained millions of dollars off of the millions of naive people like us!
When you get your first whiff of MLM, you should run, not walk, for your life!!! It will eat you alive and spit you out, leaving you in debt, feeling silly, and without family and friends...all of which you will have to re-establish thereafter. Make use of your common sense. Don't even give it a second thought. RUN!!!! You must run in the opposite way as fast as you possibly can!!!!
