What happens at an Amway meeting

 Obviously, other types of sponsorship will have different experiences, but for the Amway meetings that our cult leader hosted, they typically began about 8 p.m., once or twice a week, and ended around midnight. Either at his home or at the home of another IBO, generally someone in our immediate line, though occasionally someone from a different line.

Because the meetings were scheduled to begin at 8 p.m., but the Platinum informed everyone that serious business builders should be at least an hour early, my ambot had us arrive closer to 7 p.m.

Private meetings with IBOs at a coffee shop were customary prior to the big event meeting, during which the Platinum would review the IBO's budget, their phone list, or just generally ride their asses about how they could be doing better in "the company."

He would anticipate that one of his downline members would purchase his drinks and then transport him to the Amway meeting. On the other hand, if when they arrived at the house, there was no one waiting on the street to greet him, he would order the driver to circle the block several times until someone who appreciated him appeared on the street.

So let's say it's 8 a.m. and we're starting. At each conference, there are normally 10 to 15 of the same IBOs in attendance. On rare occasions, a prospect has been coerced into attending a meeting. After an hour of self-promotion, the Platinum rambles on about his life and his accomplishments. As I previously stated, the Platinum is an arrogant jerk who enjoys the sound of his own voice.

In the middle of the hour, he would say what he does for a living, but it would be primarily double speak for the next 15 minutes to half an hour because he would get distracted and go off on another tangent. He'll eventually utter the feared "A" word after all of his chit-chat with himself. He'll begin by presenting the Amway business strategy with the help of flash cards. Eat, drink, and reproduce are the main activities. If you can find enough people who will do this, you will be able to earn $300,000 every year.

This continues on for approximately 3 hours because he keeps getting sidetracked and going off on numerous rants, most of which are about something horrible that is happening in the world. The sack of excrement enjoys spreading negativity in the hopes of scaring his ambots into submission.

It's 11 p.m., and I'd rather be at home, or anywhere else other than listening to this sack of trash.

However, the battle is not yet done! After a brief intermission, the "instruction" will begin so that any guests or anyone who is not serious about building a business can depart. If I can persuade someone to give Ambot a ride home, I'll be out of there in no time!

In my defence, I've stayed for far more than my fair share of "teachings." These meetings will go for another hour or two after that. It is very common for Amway cult gatherings to go on long beyond midnight on Saturday and Sunday. The more exhausted the cult members are, the more easily their minds can be brainwashed. Normally, this is the time of day when he gets into individuals about the improvements they intend to make in their life. Among the things that the bucket of shit will condemn are people's appearance, their automobile, their haircut, the people with whom they associate, and so on. He primarily attacks the group for failing to sponsor anyone or bring prospects to meetings. His downline movers and shakers will be highlighted, and he'll sing their praises for the duration of the meeting, gushing about how they're the ones who are going Platinum and Diamond. (At least not for a while!)

There will be no teaching, but there will be plenty of ranting. That pretty much covers up the Amway meetings that the Ambot insisted on dragging me to as well.
