Ps- you clearly do care. And if we aren't having an impact... How did you find us? If you read Timeless Vie you will note we have already helped people to see what they have been sucked into and to leave with their head held high. To be honest, even if we help just a handful it has been worth it for me!

And quietly, behind the scenes, people on my Facebook have been messaging me, worried about friends who are involved and arming themselves with info to speak to them direct

I don't think it's that he's missed the point. I think as Eyespying says he doesn't want us using this terminology because it's the truth and they can't control what we say unlike in the organization.

Love the new meme melaw surely it's about time we had our own clothing range as that would look great on a tshirt or underwear.

#parslaipussy team member at the ready

Kanga59 · 23/02/2016 13:34

Before we were rudely interrupted, I tabled the idea of a Facebook campaign on the local selling sites, to promote the Timeless Vie website.many of the users of these sites are your typical MLM victim target. Wonder if we could get parslaii viral?

Patzy85 · 23/02/2016 13:35

If you want evidence the just read it, there's absolutely loads.

Loads of people saying they nearly got sucked in before reading the law threads too.

Remember this everyone! Wink

melaw ha ha! Perfect!

Melaw21 · 23/02/2016 13:51

Oh kanga I have to say, I like the new double ii on Parslaii, thats inspired! We have to adapt to competition from the likes of Ariix in the emerging market, we must make sure Parsla(ii) is at the forefront of everyones minds! What do you all think #pigeonpussies?
As for the selling site thing, always check with page admins first so they understand what you are posting, otherwise I think its a good idea?

Annie65 · 23/02/2016 13:55

Hmm some of couldnts comments have been removed.

Patzy85 · 23/02/2016 13:59

I guess coming on here and just insulting people to make a 'point' didn't actually work. The insults reminded me of the ones ex-bots experience when they try and leave. Infantile, if anything.

Not the first bot to try and high jack the thread. Won't be the last, I'm sure.

And that's why it's working Wink

sminkypink · 23/02/2016 14:03

they could possibly be stressed and frightened by this, the verbal abuse could be just a defensive front.
This is what I find so heartbreaking about this, what it does to tpeople, the fear it instills that wasn't there in the first place.
Give me the outside world anyday with it's ups and downs and bills and ordinary jobs.

Melaw21 · 23/02/2016 14:04

Thoughts?

If we are not having any effect then could's friend has nothing to worry about.

sminkypink · 23/02/2016 14:09

ha! I think I mentioned this before, both of my brothers do, but its taken university and 20 years of work! They don't have white cars, they're never on Facebook and they live in ordinary looking detached houses in nice villages. No barns.
All the money is being banked as savings so their kids can go to uni without incurring huge debts. No pissing it up the wall. No showing off, one brother takes his holidays in the UK and runs one car.
Real world versus mlm world.

Melaw21 · 23/02/2016 14:09

Exactly Darcey If Im honest, Im grateful to couldnt waves 👋👋👋 he/she has lit the fire underneath me, and now we KNOW we have them rattled! 😊

Patzy85 · 23/02/2016 14:14

Remember that if we post a video (such as that fantastic sizzle where everyone's yawning or the infamous 'ditch your kids' and do 30 days of solid work) it gets immediately taken down.

Even the FL lawyers were asking us to play nice!

They're watching us like Hawks. Or should I say Eagles?

Why?

Because we ARE having an impact.

People are mentioning these threads at school gates, play groups, talking about them to their friends, laughing at all the shameless bit behaviour (we all do it!) because it is just that, shameless.

thetemptationofchocolate · 23/02/2016 14:17

Yes sminky, 'attack is the best form of defence'. That's how it is coming across - no cogent arguments, just lashing out with insults.

In answer to Toobusytowee from a few pages back, we didn't leave in a shower of shit, we just quietly stopped. More of a whimper than a bang :)

VegoDoll · 23/02/2016 14:21

Couldntcareless - great username by the way.

Don't bother answering any of their questions, they will drain you. They are not genuinely interested in what you have to say.

Seriously, the amount of people who I have had messaging me about this so called "helpful" thread in the last few days.

The cult mentality of convert or condemn only applies to MLM's and not the MLM bot thread on Mumsnet by the way.

It's a bit like systematic racism against black people, heaven forbid a black person were to actually respond to an attack with aggression, because that would prove the points made against them in the first place.

I find it remarkable that for so many people who seemingly know so much about MLM, many of you don't know a great deal at all judging by what you write.

Carry on.

Melaw21 · 23/02/2016 14:21

chocolate glad you got out, however you ultimately managed it (hugs) 😊 I have a few friends still in, not holding out much hope atm tbh 😟

Eyespying · 23/02/2016 14:22

The purpose of 'MLM' jargon is not only to provide a medium of expression for the unquestioning world-view and mental habits proper to 'MLM' core-adherents, but to make all other critical and evaluative modes of thought impossible.

lazycoo · 23/02/2016 14:22

Most of couldntputanargumentogether's posts are down so I didn't get to see what he or she was saying. Note all the anger was for a 'friend'. It's fear on every level. Lashing out because we are raising awareness, and afraid to admit that we are hurting their income stream. I imagine he or she lost a prospect because of our work.

Eyespying · 23/02/2016 14:23

It is intended that when 'MLM Income Opportunity' jargon has been adopted once and for all and traditional language forgotten, a heretical thought - that is, a thought diverging from the 'positive' principles of 'MLM'- should be literally unthinkable, at least so far as thought is dependent on words. Its vocabulary is so constructed as to give exact and often very subtle expression to every 'positive' meaning that an 'MLM Distributor' can properly wish to express, while excluding all other 'negative' meanings and also the possibility of arriving at them by indirect methods. This is done partly by the invention of new 'positive' words and phrases ('MLM', 'Distributor' , Independent Business Owner,'), but chiefly by eliminating undesirable 'negative' words and phrases ('cult', 'totalitarian', 'fraud', 'deception', 'brainwashing', 'victims', 'exploitation' , 'de facto slaves',) and by stripping such words and phrases as remain of unorthodox meanings, and so far as possible of all secondary meanings whatever.
