Here is a link to the original story- www.complaintsboard.com/complaints/forever-living-products-illegal-sales-practices-and-training-c772609.html

Checking in after an absence of a few weeks! Have skipped threads 7&8 (really struggling for time to catch up at the mo), but very impressed with thread 9. Excellent work by you all!

I'm only as far as the ariix Puritii vid on page one now, but one thing caught my eye:

4.3 million people die from indoor air pollution a year.

Surely this should read '4.3 million people die from lung cancer, leukaemia, stroke, and whatever other diseases were mentioned, a year?'

I'm still going to be only a minor contributor for a while as life is just too busy at the moment. I wish I had more time for bot watching, but alas, I have a pension fund which needs topping up and private healthcare to earn, as well as a social life to lead.

Have you fully recovered from your chest infection yet, hun?

cozietoesie · 25/02/2016 23:36

Goodness acat. You were expecting accuracy and truth?

Melaw21 · 25/02/2016 23:39

Chimps looks to have had a busy day cat I suspect we will hear more from that cheeky monkey tomorrow! Do keep your eyes peeled 😉😉

Toobusytowee · 25/02/2016 23:40

Do you remember a while ago, some bots were saying bots need to fill their house with their MLM junk? The justification being that you wouldn't find Bill Gates with an Apple product? Look what I found (not at all photoshopped, I'm sure).

Eyespying · 25/02/2016 23:41

The truth concerning indoor pollution-related deaths worldwide is vastly different to the misleading simplistic scenario painted by the 'Ariix' racketeers.

Around 3 billion people cook and heat their homes using open fires and simple stoves burning biomass (wood, animal dung and crop waste) and coal.

Over 4 million people die prematurely from illness attributable to the household air pollution from cooking with solid fuels.

Today my local FL bot and her minions were all discussing her plans to get a personalised plate with her initials and FBO (Forever Business Owner). One of her teamies has already ordered hers and they were all excited at the prospect of being able to park their cars together - eeeek! I'm not even joking.

Melaw21 · 25/02/2016 23:48

Wow kam not sure whether to feel sorry for them or roll around laughing, its hard to decide which feeling to go with! 😱😱😫 Please do report back the minute there is photo evidence!! 😂😂

cozietoesie · 25/02/2016 23:51

I'm assuming they were white cars? Smile

acatcalledjohn · 26/02/2016 00:00

Cozie, never!

Crying at the octofacewrap Grin

On the personalised number plates: The Wet Wet Wet boys all have a personalised number plate. Marti Pellows' is WET1. I'll let you work out the other two. Naff as fuck.

I really miss being active in these threads.

kamchatka23 · 26/02/2016 00:08

Not sure of the car colour, but at least two of them own Audis. Her initials are JB, but J8 was the closest she could get!

Acat, shouldn't you be apussycalledjohn now?

acatcalledjohn · 26/02/2016 00:17

Well, following eyes' mention in thread 9 re the Mormons believing Jesus was from
Missouri, I did toy with:

But apussycalledjohn could work Grin

I've had a look at the complaints board article, toobusy on the botwatch page. It is remarkable and bears out exactly what we have learned about Forever Living and their business practices. They are not to be trusted Angry.

I wonder what our visiting bots would think of this article Hmm? Would love to hear their comments...

Also, I believe I knew a drug dealer's dog, once (allegedly).

I will never knit a mitten Shock.

teawamutu · 26/02/2016 07:39

day much enjoyed your bot's list of three facts she loves. Which one is it she doesn't, do you reckon?

And wtf is a gold standard of health?

cozietoesie · 26/02/2016 07:49

Tut tut, tea. You must quote accurately.

It's the gold standard of 'scientific evidence' !Grin

(Whatever that is when it's at home. )

throwingpebbles · 26/02/2016 08:12

toobusytowee your bot watch link is astonishing. But not surprising really in the sense that that contradiction had already been highlighted so well on these threads. But how appalling. I would love to know how thenbots will try and defend Forever after that

rayofhope · 26/02/2016 08:21

toobusy that complaints board article is very interesting. And Forever just sweep it under the aloe covered carpet. I had some very interesting trainings with (core trainings about the products etc) funny when I look back at what we were told.

kam is your JB one of the top ones in Forever?

kamchatka23 · 26/02/2016 08:24

No she's quite lowly I think, she goes to all the Success days though, and she's been to The Castle a few times.

nextyearrodney · 26/02/2016 09:01

The lowly workerbee bots seem to go to all the successdays always believing that next year they'll be millionaires be the one on the stage getting a big check.

Eyespying · 26/02/2016 09:05

Yesterday, we were asked why 'MLM' instigators never get jailed, like Bernie Madoff ?

The fact is, that the mainstream media completely failed to expose Madoff's crimes for decades, and is currently making a similarly pathetic job of reporting the 'Herbalife' affair. Furthermore, the SEC failed to stop Madoff, despite being given a full and accurate explanation of what he was doing by an independent financial analyst, Harry Markopolos, years before Madoff's Ponzi scheme collapsed.

www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-0226-herbalife-talks-20160226-story.html

Today, in a feeble article signed by Melody Petersen, the LA Times repeats the the latest broadcasts from the 'Herbalife' Ministry of Truth and implies that the company will survive the current FTC investigation almost unscathed.

The same article states:

'Ackman said only those salespeople at the top of the company make money, while more than 90% of distributors earn nothing or even lose out.'

But that is not what Bill Ackman has said, at all. In reality, all the evidence demonstrates that more than 90% of all current 'Herbalife' contractees are being churned annually (that's approximately 2.6 millions each year or 26 millions per decade), and since this 'MLM' racket was instigated, the hidden loss/churn rate has been effectively 100%.

Melody Petersen's excuse for an article completely ignores the reality that more 1000 'Herbalife' victims have come forward and filed complaints in the USA, and that some of these people have lost ammounts in excess of $100 thousands and are exhibitting chronic psychological-deterioration symptoms.

GreenGoblin0 · 26/02/2016 09:05

wow struggled to keep up given I have an actual J.O.B. well done on keeping the threads polite and not biting the bait....

check this out from an it works bot. it is obvious that in the thread with the shorter hair she has just had her hair cut (even looks like she has hairdressers gown on) to me it looks like the shorter hair is the after shot. probably just makes me a negative hater though.

GreenGoblin0 · 26/02/2016 09:06
