Bumper sticker I saw years ago.

It's another weird cult in our country. The last time I got roped into sitting through a presentation about why I needed to join the multi-level, pyramid scheme called Amway one of my friends outright LIED to me about why he was inviting me over to his apartment. He, and his Amway handlers knew about their reputation and that I'd most likely decline to attend if I knew the truth.

When I and others got there they just wanted to "share the business" with us. Sound familiar? Like the "Christians" who just want to "share Jesus and everlasting life" with me?

I was so pissed I've made it a point to never deal with them.

I'm old enough to remember Phyllis Schafly-the Eagle Forum-(I'm pretty sure Amway donated heavily to her/it).
Amway's Weird Pyramid scheme (who hasn't had the opportunity to look at someone drawing a pyramid of circles for you...?)

Which, by the way, includes the infamous Blackwater, a yet another evil creation of Western Michigan Dutch Reformed Calvinist fundementalism.

Grand Rapids and environs is full of them. Next to nothing is open in downtown Grand Rapids on Sunday. They roll up the sidewalks, as we used to say.

That family all but owns GR, and they are evil leaches, all of them. Half the shit in GR is named after DeVos. I think they'll have all the streets named DeVos soon. It'll suit them fine. All directions are the same as long as it leads you to fucking AmWay.

on edit: Grand Rapids also has some good things. Among many is the Reasonable Doubts podcast. Hosted by four former fundies, now atheists, it is a refreshing plunge into Biblical lore, psychology, counter-apologetics, and religious history. Highly recommended. It's intelligent, witty, and doesn't take itself too serious.

Selling soap out of my house by signing up other people to sign up other people to sell soap our of their houses just wasn't for me I guess.

Still have some of the laundry stuff that i'm using years later.

see my other post, you might be able to unload that in Colorado or Washington

Can anyone who served on that jury tell me the gist of what was said. This thread is nearly a year old, someone dredges it back up, and then gets nailed by a jury for doing so? Weird.

they often kick old threads.

I didn't even notice the thread was old - followed over from the MIRT thread on the troll.

way back - more than 25 years, mind you - a friend, yeah that's it a friend! told me their laundry detergent was the best bong cleaner ever!

other than that, anybody that can't see it is a scam run by rightwingfundies deserves getting sucked in.
