which I've only become aware of since acquiring a multi-level-marketer mother-in-law. Brings a whole new definition of hell to family gatherings, what with the inevitable proseltyzing. I've also gradually become aware that Republicanism, religion and pyramid type business schemes are all connected. All three have cult like aspects. All three prey on certain kinds of people to buy into the b.s. All three express a putrid sanctimony while selling their snake oil. All three have an agenda of greed underlying a fake sugar coated exterior of supposed moral superiority.
(And for those who are looking for reasons to feel offended, I actually respect genuine spirituality, as opposed to self righteous, fundamentalist "christianity".)
Anyway, anyone else who finds this to be of morbid interest might want to check out this book (free online download)
http://www.merchantsofdeception.com/an expose written by someone who rose up pretty far in the ranks of amway before it all fell apart.
A few choice bits:
• At one of these meetings,with thousands of distributors in attendance, Dexter (company founder) informed the audience that he had distributors in The Business in high levels in the government.He even told the group present that he had connections with Secret Service agents that worked in the White House.These agents had advised him that Hillary Clinton was a lesbian and that she slept in her own private bedroom — separate from Bill ’s.The agents, he said, had told him that our tax dollars were being used to shuttle Hillary’s lesbian lovers in and out of the White House.
• At this meeting,and many others,Democrats were often characterized as mindless idiots, bent on socialism and the destruction of the moral fabric of this country.
• The Diamond leadership became aware of the fact that the National Organization for Women had rented the very same facility for a national conference the next weekend. Once again, we were faced with the conflict of good vs.evil. Who would protect our families? God certainly would if enough of us would rise up. One of the leaders led somewhere near 2,000 of us in prayer against the National Organization for Women and its leadership.
• It was presented that perhaps the worst of these unions was the National Education Association (NEA).This allegedly was a group determined to subvert our family values and Christian beliefs,in general.It was another liberal group that reportedly used its clout to do many bad things.
• Distributors were also advised that teachers in this liberal system had free rein to teach our children homosexuality,sex education, and even Satanism,despite our wishes.
• Distributors were encouraged to do more than just vote;they were also to contribute financially to the campaigns of those conservative Republicans who were brought in to speak to us.It did not matter if they were not from our home state,as we were urged to get them in office in order to get the whole country right.
