I've been sucked into forever living!! Why do I feel like the bad guy?

[KindergartenKop]

Recently an acquaintance emailed me to ask if I could 'help' her by trying a few products and giving her some feedback. Being the nice person I am I agreed. When the bag of samples turned up the penny dropped and i realised that she's trying to sell them to me (I'm naive I know!). I thought id just buy a little bubble bath. Its fucking 14 quid! No way. I'm sending the bag back and pleading eczema. Does this whole company operate by guilting friends and family into purchasing crap quality at ridic prices?

I have a friend selling Jeunesse. That real time video of the eye bags disappearing went onto her FB timeline, her friends were queuing up to buy the stuff.

I like my eye-bags. they give me character.

THANKYOU to whoever mentioned the netmums FL thread. I'm reading it now.

Has your friend tried it herself MerdeAlor? Does it work?? I hate my eye bags because they are a legacy of damage caused by DV

Oh arse I met a woman at a party a few weeks ago she told me she wanted to share a great business opportunity with me, to be polite I smiled and nodded along and when she asked I gave her my number because it would be impolite to tell her no.

Yeah she's a FL rep or whatevah.

They don't take no for an answer,
I said; I'm not interested
she asked; why?
I said too expensive and I'm not interested
she sent me a YouTube video (didn't watch it), she replied; lolz butt lotssssss of ppl buy good quality products ull b surprised how much they willing to pay I thought exactly the same at first but now my mindset is completely different

So I gave up and blocked her.

I'll be more than happy to unblock her and forward details of anyone on here who wants a FL freak messaging them.

Quite impressed with myself that I managed to say 'no' sort of.

can't seem to find the netmums FL threads now. Disappointing.

Crikey, just found you! This thread is right up my street. I've got two friends living the FL -dream- life. One is new in but has already been promoted twice to some sort of assistant team manager. The other is a more long standing member and keeps going to events abroad with others and their laptops. It is impossible to get any information about earnings out of either of them. I am so curious. And the quotes...
Please, I wish someone would come on and tell us the truth about what's going on.

They sell forever living in the reception of my local hospital... How is that even allowed!?

Apparently today my FL FB friends team are " gunna find out how huge their bonus will be this month lol"
I would love to meet someone who he survived the cult of FL and is willing to share what their training ( indoctrination) involves.

Oh fuck. If it's pay day or bonus day or whatever they call it, my FB is going to implode with their over the top posts. And screen shots of texts about the bonuses.

it's started.
#loveforever #bonusrecap

I'm guessing that they never actually say what the bonus amount is? Is it even money?

Agree with hoppinggreen would love to hear the truth about how much they really get from a surviving cult member. My FL girl says she earns a guranteed income of 2,000 a month plus bonuses but I doubt she actually gets that she also says she will never have to worry about working full time ever again.

Never. Apparently it's 'tripled' from last month. But no idea what last month's was.

I've lost my closest friend to her becoming a FLibot. And I can see she's losing other friends too. It's a cult.

haha I read #bonusrecap as #bonuscrap

I think I might be right!

oops in laughing about the #bonuscrap I forgot what I came on here to post.

I've got another FL one on FB - early days yet as she's mainly just liking other FL friends/colleagues posts and attending conferences and meetings but it's looking promising.

This one (she's a relative of DP) has the added bonus of being a non-UK person so all her posts are in her native language but fb gives you a "translate this post" option which adds to the entertainment value.

For example this one:

"Saturday organizes meet forever a theme night: We focus specifically on young mothers.
What Mama Do you know who wants to be home more for the kids?

• what mama do you know who to want something nice hands, where she prettier, more just and richer?

What mama wants her children care with qualitative products? Definitely needed this mama's out! Because for everyone there is something that can them cuffs. Mama's at the top!"

Same approach whatever the language it seems.

Peachey, I don't fully understand the structure of FL but from what I've been told my former friend, I can't grasp that it's possible to ever have a "guaranteed" income of any set amount, as it depends on what the people below you are selling each month.

I know pony there's so much crap she claims that just doesn't add up I agree with pp it seems to be all smoke and mirrors.what really bothers me is the way she thinks she's so superior to working mother's when in fact she probably spends less time with her children than if she worked full time. Nearly every week night she's recruiting,hosting a launch party,doing a webinar,having a meeting with the "Huns" drinking vino and tonight she's doing a business presentation.

This information makes me want to string up FL sellers. If I see one FB post pushing this stuff on someone with tree pollen/hayfever allergies I will go postal.

Is Bee Pollen Safe?
Bee pollen appears to be safe, at least when taken for a short term. But if you have pollen allergies, you may get more than you bargained for. Bee pollen can cause a serious allergic reaction -- including shortness of breath, hives, swelling, and anaphylaxis.

Bee pollen is not safe for pregnant women. A woman should also avoid using bee pollen if she is breastfeeding.

Bee pollen may cause increased bleeding if taken with certain blood thinners like warfarin. Check with your doctor before taking bee pollen if you take any medications, over-the-counter medicines, or herbals.

One more FB post. I've made several "friends" already by pointing this out.

I have a friend who seems to be in some sort of FL-style shite but for essential oils. A company or brand name is never mentioned though, but her page is full of the inspirational, 'change your life' posts. The best part for me is that she doesn't have kids to go on about spending time with so she uses her dog instead! 'more time with my baby girl

Now men has posted a photo of a semi naked Hollywood actor with the caption " go girl" and a photo of FL products and a bunch of flowers next to it!
#whattheactualfuck

My FL FB friend has shared her monthly turnover. She says is is $500k! So tempted to post the old "turnover is vanity, profit is sanity" adage but don't want to engage...

This thread is wonderful and thank you for the endless entertainment!

My personal favourite so far is norberts

Because for everyone there is something that can them cuffs. Mama's at the top!

I am going to steal this as my inspirational unofficial FL quote of the day!
