The 'Amway Income Opportunity' is a fools' paradise

Shyam

 

This week, I was contacted by a highly-educated, and deeply religious, Indian man living in Europe, who asked me:

 

• How can millions of Indians fall for this glittering Amway nonsense?

 

• How can my poor countrymen be so foolish as to think that there really are these wonderful Christian Amway billionaires in America who want to make non-Christians into millionaires?

 

This was my reply:

 

The fact is that there are vast numbers of decent people (Christians, Muslims, Jews, etc.) around the world who all genuinely believe that,when they die, they will enter paradise provided they continue to believe totally in the existence of paradise.

 

Now I don't believe in the existence of paradise, but if people want to believe, then they have every right to do so. What I do object to, is when charlatans exploit vulnerable persons' need to believe in future redemption, but actually peddle them places in a fools' paradise.

 

You should bear in mind that, despite all the scripted-bullshit regurgitated by deluded 'Amway Income Opportunity' believers, during the previous 50+ years, 'Amway's' echelon of amoral attorneys has always avoided answering the most basic, common-sense questions concerning the hidden results the so-called 'Amway MLM Income Opportunity.'  

• Since the organization's instigation, exactly how many people around the world have signed-up with 'Amway,' and exactly how many of these alleged 'Independent Business Owners' have got back more money than they paid in?

• What quantifiable evidence can you supply which would prove that the so-called 'Amway Income Opportunity' has had any significant and sustainable revenue other than that deriving unlawfully from a never-ending chain of losing participants?

 

In the adult world of quantifiable reality, the honest anwsers to these questions are as follows:

• Over the years, tens of millions of people have signed up with'Amway' around the world, but effectively none of them have got back more than they paid in.

• No quantifiable evidence can be produced which would prove that the so-called 'Amway Income Opportunity' has had any significant and sustainable revenue other than that deriving unlawfully from a never-ending chain of losing participants, for the simple reason that no such evidence exists.

In the light of these irrefutable answers, anyone with fully-functioning critical, and evaluative, faculties should immediately be able to deduce that the 'Amway Income Opportunity' is a fools' paradise. Classically, its inhabitants' belief is quite genuine, but what they believe in, is a cruel lie.
