Very eloquently put cubic and no, you should not feel ashamed, these are very sophisticated scams and catch out many bright and otherwise switched on people. Partly because they are often targetted at particularly vulnerable points in their lives Flowers

darceybussell · 16/02/2016 21:02

Wow the pretty girls' business gang - sounds like it would be a bit like the film mean girls but with cellophane wraps!

Re making out people are stupid - I did actually use the word 'thick' a while ago in response to an Ariix video that said we were all doomed unless we joined an MLM as soon there would be no traditional jobs left. I was immediately jumped on and it was explained to me that people who join MLMs are far from thick. I've also seen other people be put right in the same way on this thread, so for what it's worth I really don't think anyone here is trying to say people are stupid.

sminkypink · 16/02/2016 21:04

cubic adding to that, I wonder if the USA Jamberry bots were 'chosen' to get a new, UK downline for the launch. I think I already know the answer to that.
It's the unfairness that makes us angry Kathy: it isn't about thinking that people are stupid or trying to stop someone from digging themselves out of financial hell, nope, not at all - it's that the whole 'game' (because the more I look at it; it is a game of make believe, with silly team names and training videos), is unfair and skewed so that only a few will benefit.

Kathysclown · 16/02/2016 21:10

I get the feeling from the 'do you think this is what I think it is' posts that people think I am a troll?? That I am
A BIT desperately justifying my involvement?

If that is what is meant, I absolutely am not. Everything I have said is true, I am not involved in any MLM more than I have stated in my posts. I have been an avid lurker in these threads from quite early in, just never had anything to share before
As I don't have any direct BOTs on Fb (much to my disappointment). I am
An early 'liker' of Timeless Vie and have commented on there in support before.

sminkypink · 16/02/2016 21:11

Yes I will say what I think (why not eh?)
Sounds as if some may be more involved in this mlm than they imply. Sounds like they're encouraging your friends to register and back you up.
So, if the amazing opportunity is so fragile that you feel that the opportunity will be threatened by the comments of a few women on an internet forum, is it that amazing?
Normal businesses get criticised far more, online (I'm thinking off the top of my head of stuff such as people being encouraged to boycott the likes of Topshop or Vodafone for dodging tax). Has it affected them? Nope.

Kathysclown · 16/02/2016 21:11

Can't type on my phone..... Some typos in there....

I think we crossed posts there Sminky - no, you are wrong. Everything I have said is genuine.

Gimlet1984 · 16/02/2016 21:17

My bots have all pre booked for the success day this week in London. I wonder how much that will cost them. It's two days 20th to the 21st so they will have to buy tickets for each day, book a hotel and find someone to look after the kids. Then travel and food costs plus I'm sure they will need some new reading material from Dave O'Conman and a Pro Planner to organize their lives so they can be boss babes.

gimlet we've definitely had hits on the blog from Dubai/UAE etc. So someone over there knows about TV.

HIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!

hi kathy, that's great you are an ex-lurker and liker of TV from wayback. Welcome. You are welcome here.

And also if you are genuinely running a business then someone above you with a chart cannot decide to move you under someone else or shift your minions on to someone they like better. No, you'd be the actual boss (even if just of yourself) and you'd make your own decisions.

The MLM model gives you all the risks of running your own business with none of the benefits. Instead you get office politics, power games, having to toe the party line, etc. So all the worst bits of being employed - but, again, none of the benefits. What's not to like?

Come and join Timeless Vie, where you can be a bossbabe who does as she's told and is subject to the whims and agendas of those higher up.

lastuseraccount123 · 16/02/2016 21:27

you know what would be great? lighthearted chat. I miss it. I REALLY miss it.

throwingpebbles · 16/02/2016 21:28

I don't see the point in troll hunting because if we answer trolls as if their posts are genuine, our repsonses may resonate with lurkers if not the troll themselves

I agree cubic

its clear this thread has drawn in a lot of interest

for anyone interested there is also a really interesting thread on netmums, called "forever living is driving me insane". Lots of stories on there!
