I feel all dirty for sneaking about on fb :-)

CamelsAndMaus · 04/05/2016 23:01

penny don't be. Just feel sad that she doesn't know the difference between "your" and "you're" and that bonus is singular and plural in itself; so doesn't require the added "s" let alone the apostrophe. Or if you're cutting and pasting rubbish at least copyedit it first.

Is this FL and LTW war?
Lol
I'll get the popcorn

Twunk · 04/05/2016 23:06

But which is better? There's only one way to find out...

Twunk yes, I must also get better at the 'dead to me' bit. I've made so many errors- making genuine friends at work and wanting to stay in touch when they leave. Not being threatened by the businesses they go to because I am confident that I work for a good 'un. Thinking that our paths might cross again and present the opportunity to work together in a way that would benefit us both. I realise now that this was a massive error. The short-sighted way is always the best way.

I noticed sorbitol was one of the ingredients at the beginning of that list. Seeing as both sorbitol and the aloe itself have laxative effects drinking an entire bottle seems most unwise. Not that I believe they'll really be doing that of course, but them pretending to do it might encourage others to do it.

CamelsAndMaus · 04/05/2016 23:11

twunk I'll parcel it up and send it to you (no I am joking - promise - but you can have the random lamb chop the bin dipping maus left as a present if you want? If I can find what they're done with it now - it was left as a present but then disappeared).

But pictures attached of the stray Maine coon we seem to have acquired and what she might end up as.

I would LOVE a Maine Coon. Could you pop it in the post? Wink

Nolongerconfused · 04/05/2016 23:18

FL are at war with all other MLM companies. Not so long ago Ariix were being spoke about constantly and now LTW. Used to be JP and Younique.
Insecure much?

I don't know who mentioned "the day in a life of" videos on you tube but I just went and watched them (there are more than one) CRINGE and fake!!!

Twunk · 04/05/2016 23:33

Apparently aloe vera isn't a laxative. Hmm

Interesting why a bot might deny its one documented, proven effect!

camel I have a camel, a big white one. I'm the envy of my tribe. I got him with TV's camel plan for exceptional parslaii pushing. He's got his very own tent too, it's even better than the one my husband's second wife lives in. Grin

Seenthelight21 · 04/05/2016 23:51

I know of a few people who left to work at LTW and quite frankly the way they have been treated is disgusting. Like me I was unfriended and blocked on facebook just for leaving!!!!!!! By people I actually thought were friends! It's totally shocking

Like being banished!!!!!!!! From a CULT!!!
People aren't your friend in there they pretend to be and they do it so well!!!

But the reality is different as I Found out!

The people at the top are scared because people leaving affects their businesss!

Twunk · 05/05/2016 00:05

Well Eyes tried to tell us (and we eventually listened) that MLMs are cults. You need to have that kind of structure otherwise why would people work such ridiculous hours for (extremely unlikely) future reward? How else can you get people to believe such utter crap about your product? Brainwashing.

OP posts:
BSintolerant · 05/05/2016 00:07

seen How scared are we talking?

Doesn't anyone try to persuade potential defectors (or defecators - they do drink a lot of nature's dyno-rod) to stay, or is it really full on cultic "You are dead to us!" banishment?

Toobusytowee · 05/05/2016 00:07

Have a read of this latest investigation into Forever Living claims. It makes me angry.

Toobusytowee · 05/05/2016 00:16

Twunk, yes, I found the ingredients list for the gel but there is no breakdown anywhere of what vitamins there are. The ingredient in an orange is orange. But there is a certain amount of vitamin C in there as well. There is supposedly so much good stuff in an aloe leaf, I want to know how much of this goodness makes it to the drink. You should be able to read a label and know about fat, protein, calories, vitamin content etc. ESPECIALLY if it is being touted as having a load of that stuff.

BSintolerant · 05/05/2016 00:24

toobusy Thank you for your post on the smoke and mirrors claims involving GOSH and DEBRA. I'm no longer shocked by FL's claims, just disturbed.

I hope the relevant authorities will put these claims in a bag and stamp on them.

Seenthelight21 · 05/05/2016 00:25

They may try and persuade those that are going elsewhere? I just left entirely so I'm slightly different but for others their names were slated through a managers page and it literally is like banishing!
Everyone deleted and blocked on FB..... so grown up !

I do think certain managers are scared yes not the ones right at the top they couldn't give a shit like most things!!!! Confused but lower level managers most definetly are

Twunk · 05/05/2016 00:25

Yes exactly - I have been told the same.

I fact I saw a YouTube video which had the usual "forever aloe gel is so pure" thing - if you add iodine into a solution of FL AV gel it goes clear! Whoop!

Turns out if you add vitamin C to iodine solution it goes clear - forever add vitamin C (ascorbic acid) - the pukka one (which didn't go clear) doesn't. Hmm

So there can't be THAT much Vit C in the aloe or they would all make the iodine "disappear" (react...).

Excellent post Toobusy - let's see if FL can actually come up with anything... I won't hold my breath
