Also notice that their regional meetings are often called "Family Reunions". Yes, subtle brainwashing.

As I mentioned, I was in other MLMs, but used to buy Amway tapes on eBay to listen to when mowing, during chores or on long trips because I figured I could learn something from successful people.

I was shocked at what I heard. The religious tie-in was a big disturbing. But more so the waste of money in order to show "success". The Emeralds and Diamonds kept buying big and bigger cars, got bigger and bigger planes and built bigger and bigger houses.

I remember one that bragged about their 35,000 sq ft home with a 5,000 sq ft master bedroom suite. Their front door was some exotic wood that cost a couple of hundred thousand.

I thought .. no one says that Amway will last forever. Wouldn't it make more sense to INVEST that money into something that would provide yet ANOTHER income stream.

I sold those tapes back again on eBay. I did keep two because I thought they were funny and entertaining: "Oh Harry!" and "The Day the Posture Struck".
