Should AmWay be banned?

AmWay requires time and personal investment, and has many cult-like properties.

If we're going to ban Scientology, should we not also ban AmWay?

I still have a little tube of eleven-year-old AmWay breath spray called "Glister Shot." If I spray it down my throat it burns. Kill AmWay.

That's just your body reacting to the mind controll serum. Relax, you'll be fine.

I said it in the Scientology thread, ban everything. No cars, no scooters, no organizations, no blaspheming, no religion, no sex, and certainly no woolly sweaters.

That stuffs the best!

And no, do not shut down Amway. I personally know both the Van Andels and the DeVos's. They're good people. They do lots of good things around the community. You should see the downtown medical complex.

Plus, they employ thousands of people in Michigan. Don't rub salt on our placenta.

Especially no woolly sweaters, the comfort that they sometimes yield to people is a vile abomination that must be destroyed.

There is no way to recover what is lost in the space of an instant. However, there may yet be hope to prevent others from sharing your fate: Join the fight against sweaters!
Next time you see a wooly sweater, set it on fire. Preferably, strip it from the wearer first, unless it is of the turtle neck variety. Then, it is already to late, and you should burn him with the sweater to purify his soul for the hereafter.

Master Inquisitor, how do I tell between a real wool sweater and one of those heathen faux-wool sweaters?

Throw the person and the sweater in a well. If they float, then they you must kill them, if they sink then there is six more weeks of winter.

HEATHEN! The Well is a sacred concept, whatever its contents. Anyone who cannot recognize the inherent equality of all wells as bourne into them by the Creator must be PURGED!!!

AmWay.... and Quixtar! Access Business Groups is just a shill company used to hide where the products come from.

BUT, the real problem is not the company themselves, it's the various "Motiviational Tools Companies" that are run by the so-called "Diamonds". They are the ones who suck the money (and life) out of people selling them useless seminars, books, CDs, and meetings that do NOT build the business of selling Amway/Quixtar products.... only selling the "tools" that the Diamonds get the vast majority of their money from. They use Amway/Quixtar as a shell company to avoid legal repercussions in recruiting for their scams....and Amway/Quixtar are willing partners cause thjey get to sell product.

Amway had a chance to shut down the abuses to their salesforces in the 80's, but chose rather to keep getting paid vs doing the right thing.

I think they have a topical cream for Amway... or was it a topical cream sold by Amway?... can never get that straight. At any rate, it's an itchy irritable rash on society, but people never listen when you tell them that abstinence is an option.

Well, you could go to an Amway meeting, and it would be self evident. Just don't let them dazzle you with all the wonderful products. Or Slogans. Or Success stories.

On second thought, just don't go.
