Such passion. Smile

Melaw21 · 23/02/2016 12:31

I called you an 'interloper' but do continue...

sminkypink · 23/02/2016 12:31

couldnotcareless
we've noticed that some of the outright lies have stopped. You know, the lies about buying big houses and cars to deceive people into signing up. It even looks as if it is no longer encouraged by the upline, probably because they know we will be all over it. Medical claims are now only being made in private, we know they still go on, buby upline t its not so blatent. We know that there is still a lot of horrendous bullying, stalking and harassment behind the scenes, but even this is now being made public at last.
Certain mlms have changed their rule books and/or released new ones. The timing tells me its because of us. Certain mlm trainers have removed trainings from youtube, in particular ones where they encourage stalking for prospects, or ones where they made medical claims.
We've had tens of thousand of hits on timeless vie and more women are coming forward with their stories every day.
We know its worth it when we get messages of thanks. We know that people are realising that they are in a scam and are leaving, so it's all very worth it. Still a lot of work to do, though.
I don't believe in bullying and harassment, but I see nothing wrong in highlighting when someone is being dishonest. If they are going to stand on a stage and tell lies and then uplaod it to youtube as 'training' then get upset when it's been pointed out to them, well what did they expect?

Come on then could youve had your tantrum/rant, whats your story then? Are you ex bot? Current bot? Mlm hater? Do you need some help from us? You do seem to have a lot of pent up rage?

couldnotcareless · 23/02/2016 12:35

Stinky - as much as you say - people each day are still signing up to whichever organisation they want to - are you seriously stopping that?

Melaw21 · 23/02/2016 12:35

Its you're but thanks! 😉

sminkypink · 23/02/2016 12:37

I'm realistic about it, I know that it's not going to stop anytime soon. I think wee could have a chance of some better regulation, though.
The fact that the Successday didn't sell out tells me we are getting somewhere.

couldnotcareless · 23/02/2016 12:39

Melawi26 - I have my own issues to deal with Mlm helped my friend when she needed it - I did not sign on but helped her. Your info is so way off - I know more and don't even do the business - she showed me your crap - and straight away I could punched glaring holes in your bs - I was nearly sick physically when one of you posted about down lines etc - I've seen these and how it work in one business - I would bet them to be the same or similar on all - but all your heads are so full of sh*t they are shining from the glare of sunlight !

sminkypink · 23/02/2016 12:40

and we know that public anger has had an affect in the past. Amway in the UK is a shadow of its former self.

Just because we can't stop it completely isn't a reason to give up - just like any other campaign out there.

sminkypink · 23/02/2016 12:42

couldnotcareless how did mlm help your friend, I'm interested.

cozietoesie · 23/02/2016 12:43

Thank you for delurking and posting, itscliffmas. Smile

couldnotcareless · 23/02/2016 12:45

Stinky - how do you know that Successday did not sell out? This is what I am talking about? Pure "think I know it all crap" when you don't know "Jack" or "Jill" for that matter.. I have friends in FLP and I know tickets were hard to come by last weekend - you are trying to tell me crap about crap you don't know - yet accuse others of faking till you make it?

shadowplay · 23/02/2016 12:45

Could - please do take some time here and punch holes in the bs you've read on here.

I've been reading these threads for ages and honestly, the majority of posters here would welcome a reasoned discourse about mlms and will admit they're wrong if presented with facts and proof.

As eyes has said, trolling and bull-baiting won't work, all it does is reinforce our belief that we are getting to mlms and they're panicked.

MrGrumpy01 · 23/02/2016 12:47

Can you tell us where our glaring holes are please?

Couldntcareless really seems to care about these threads.

Tell us where we are wrong , please do.

There's enough facts and evidence across the thousands of posts to deter any decent human being.

Decent being the operative word.

sminkypink · 23/02/2016 12:49

Because they were still trying to sell tickets a couple of days before? We're not allowed to mention names of people anymore but one of the big famous ones was trying to flog tickets for it.
I've studied a lot of training to educate myself, I've read plenty of the books and scripts. I wonder if the same psychology is used with selling of these events as when one is prospecting the opportunity? Just a thought, not an accusation.

sminkypink · 23/02/2016 12:50

I' m more interested in how mlm helped your friend, in what way? I'm personally not interested in attacking you.

Quinoa20 · 23/02/2016 12:52

If you could not care less, why were you almost physically sick ?

nextyearrodney · 23/02/2016 12:52

Also the official forever tickets website was still showing lots of tickets as available. But of course if you are saying couldnt that FL aren't telling the truth on their own website please enlighten us as we like facts here.

'...tell me how hard it is to write without using any of the following - cult, cultic, adherent, Mormon or otherwise?'

----------------

'The purpose of Newspeak was not only to provide a medium of expression for the world-view and mental habits proper to the devotees of Ingsoc, but to make all other modes of thought impossible. It was intended that when Newspeak had been adopted once and for all and Oldspeak forgotten, a heretical thought — that is, a thought diverging from the principles of Ingsoc — should be literally unthinkable, at least so far as thought is dependent on words. Its vocabulary was so constructed as to give exact and often very subtle expression to every meaning that a Party member could properly wish to express, while excluding all other meanings and also the possibility of arriving at them by indirect methods. This was done partly by the invention of new words, but chiefly by eliminating undesirable words and by stripping such words as remained of unorthodox meanings, and so far as possible of all secondary meanings whatever.'

Georges Orwell (Appendix to 'Nineteen Eighty-Four')

couldnotcareless sure seems to care a lot about something a friend was into. A likely tale.

eugh someone just posted on our local fb selling site asking if anyone is selling JP pouches. The bots were lapping it up! "I'm a JP rep in " , " I sell JP hun, msg me" , "yes hun I can help u".

All blown out the water when someone then posts a pic of loads of JP they once bought and don't want anymore for a bargain price and it is immediately snapped up. sorry bots! no new sale here today.
