you call us a cult
TELL ME in what way are we cultlike? and what mindcontrol tactics do
we use?
ha I like the one about controling thoughts... when was the last time
you told your boss what you thought of him? He got you controlled real
good!!
you say "they" but Amway is nothing but a warehouse, they do not even
hold meetings .It is us the distributers who hold meetings, and there
are a million legs to amway
who are"they"?
I am an independant business and buy off of amway because they PAY the
best. If walmart paid like amway I would buy at walmart>
Can you tell me the ten forms of income of amway or the pv/bv ratio?
if you cannot answer this than what do you know about amway?
ask your brotherinlaw this question.
Does your brother in law know more than the president of general
motors?
GM says were ok.
I did not sever ties with my family I buy my mom and dad houses and
cars. Tell me ...Can you support your ma and pa when cpp runs out?
I get paid residual which I can hand down to my family
what does your boss give you?
Of course there are failures in amway
but there are failures in every occupation.
But how many millionaires did your job produce last year?

so all youknow is HEARSAY and not FACT
Friends tell fishstories
I do not care what my reputation is I,m free
The manager of the bank has "status " and hes at work
go figure!!!
I can bang my secritary, come to work drunk
and thats acceptable
but do amway to get your family free.
could it be that your boss knows amway works and he cannot control you
if you are free?
INTELLEGENT people get all the facts BEFORE making an INTELLIGENT
decision!!

How can he make more? SEEMS you do not know amway and the pay
structure? Just like your brother in law?
PYRAMID SCHEME ?
what kind of pyramid scheme.?( YOU BETTER THINK HERE YOU MIGHT JUST
DEFINE A JOB)
or worse yet a ponzi scheme like ui or cpp.

wow how many people do you know?
I meet 2 a day for last 6 years
do your 10 really matter?
I go into india . The population of canada is in one city.
If he invaded your privacy why dident you ask him to leave
sounds like your husband is a push over.
If your husband was good he would have controlled the conversation
maybee he should brush up on people skills.

why you will be dependant upon the rich after cpp fall 2007 or so
you have the best business opertunity{ sestina, stanford research,
harvard university} and the only way to get free
and you said no
your loss
Is it such a sin to ask ? ARE YOU OPEN MINDED ABOUT BUSINESS
You will never know what you said no to.
the 20 min could change your lifeas unless you are are an auther you
have no hope of residual income.
SHOW ME A BETTER WAY!!!!!

well your no multi millionaire or you would know more about business

about whats really goiing on
I do not like him (jean) BUT i can learn from him. I cannot change
things. Persolally I like gst so does ralph and so does jean and i
hope they up it to 15%

no i DO NOT take just anyone . Like i said I would not waste my time
triing to convince you i can find someone else who serious
I have kicked people out and refused entry into my BUSINESS so dont
even suggest that.
I have a group in vancouver I see every 2 weeks to help them.
FIGURE IT OUT a plane ticket to van every 2 weeks
did I charge my recruits ?I have a group in lethbridge
do I charge them for my hotel ?
This and more + my time comes out of MY pocket not anyone elses
Who pays for my trip to india. It will cost me 15000to go. How long
before that leg shows a profit?
I dont have time to waste on morons
