Thank you for the Just Giving link TooBusy - I have donated a little.

On a more cheerful note (or is it?), been having a chuckle at the FLP private plane posts! Hahahahaha.

BSintolerant · 20/09/2016 21:17

Just imagine if Forever Living really did have its own plane. No bugger would dare hijack it for fear of being recruited. Grin

Twunk · 21/09/2016 00:06

Sorry I buggered off there! Other arguments discussions to be had on the internet! Plus I've been swamped with a work project which has been a lot of fun (fun?! At a J.O.B?? Surely not!) Wink

I'm ROFLing at the FL plane. Even with my (decidedly average) photoshop skills I think I could do a better job!

I hope everyone has had the link to CAM's just giving page who wants it. I think we've done her proud.

There's another (UK) post mortem to be gone through and I have no date for the funeral.

Twunk · 21/09/2016 00:09

LTW is a bloody mess. Who'd have thought it? It seemed like such a professional operation too Hmm

Still, those at the top who'be made their ill-gotten gains can cheerfully move into the next scam venture. Oh and NOW it's all dodgy, but they had no idea! Oh no...none my arse.

BSintolerant · 21/09/2016 02:30

They had no idea LTW was so dodgy because listening to The MLM Resistance and those middle-aged keyboard warriors is not allowed, and anyone caught doing so vill be shot with chickpeas, water boarded with Yazoo, and left to starve to death with only pigeons for company in a luxury suite on an industrial estate in Manchester.

Who stole that painting of The Fallen Bot with the Big Boobies from the rented chateau? I heard that someone hid it in a bottle of Yazoo before smuggling it out of the country on the Forever Living plane.

Identical Facebook posts from every single one of the FLbots over the last few days, when they do the 'training' they surely must tell them exactly what to post to Facebook and when.

By the way, I'm going away with work next week. I'll be sure to do a Facebook live video of the bog in my hotel room because I know you're all desperate to see it!

Annie65 · 21/09/2016 07:25

BS and Darcey, thats made me chuckle on a dull morning, cheers for that.Grin

NorbertDentressangle · 21/09/2016 08:23

Darcey the hilarious thing is all the rooms I've seen on live video look identical - I reckon there's only one room and one FL deckchair and they're all taking turns in filming it.

Their real accommodation is in a flea pit down the road Wink.

I can't help but notice that my bot's "little home based aloe business" (there's something else I've noticed....few bots started referring to it as their "little home based" business) didn't earn her place in Greece despite the fact that earlier in the year she was implying that she was getting this wonderful free holiday and would be there with her team.

cozietoesie · 21/09/2016 09:00

Thank you for that, Twunk. I hope that CAM's family are managing.

fitgirl26 · 21/09/2016 09:07

I don't have any FL bots on my Facebook - just one increasingly desperate (and borderline illiterate) Juice Plus bot. I feel like I'm missing out on all the fun Sad

dylsmimi · 21/09/2016 09:17

I have seen everyone jumping ship from 'it works' (bollocks it does!) to something about juice that cures everything and Magic weight loss (yet to be revealed and I refused to join a closed facebook group about it)
Apparently the top bot feels she has been conned and now moving on to a new company where she is back earning 6 figure annual salary in 4 weeks. How is that even possible!!

smiinky · 21/09/2016 10:02

The salaries are as fabricated as the photoshopped planes.
As regards the incentive trips, it's tragic. Hustlebot has still not managed to qualify, even though he was definitely gonna qualify. ( wonder if that's because he doesn't understand you're supposed to use your own money to stockpile aloe). And every single Maelle bot out there is going to St Lucia. Gonna be feeling a hefty dose of schadenfreude in March.

cozietoesie · 21/09/2016 11:19

Despite their contribution to others' problems, I feel sorry for MLM adherents - can you imagine how it must feel when you really look at yourself in the mirror?

There have been many people on these threads who have managed to leave MLMs with their lives just about intact. Much respect - because it's not easy. Smile

Spongebobette · 21/09/2016 11:35

I have sympathy too. Cozie but not for the top bots who know jolly well what they are doing.

I feel sad for one of my FL bits who was SO EXCITED and feeling so blessed to have the Greek holiday incentive' opened up for her' months ago (such an amazingly generous company to reward us like this) but clearly didn't qualify and is at work in her normal job.
But guess what, she's really excited for Dubai 2017

Spongebobette · 21/09/2016 11:41

So many of the bots on the Greek hol are 'blown away', must be very windy thereSmile

Spongebobette · 21/09/2016 11:44

And spending all day in a big conference room listening to bots' success stories is NOT my idea of a good time

CheekySmile · 21/09/2016 13:44

Don't know if anyone heard Derren Brown on radio 2 yesterday? He talked about how wrong he finds the notion of positive thinking and goal setting in order to obtain happiness as a kind of commodity. He also talked about self help books including favourite of the bots 'The Secret', calling it infantile rubbish.
From 01:08:30 if you want to hear.

Spongebobette · 21/09/2016 14:38

Thank you cheeky that was really interesting, I liked the way he described that sort of thinking as 'infantile'.

Toobusytowee · 21/09/2016 21:04

Cam's funeral is going to be on Wednesday in Stockport. If anyone is local and would like to go, ask me for details. Her husband has said everyone is welcome. I suspect it will be fairly packed.

cozietoesie · 21/09/2016 21:11

Thank you, Toobusy. I won't be able to be there but let me know the time anyway when you know it. I'd like to think of her then.

Twunk · 21/09/2016 21:26

It's at 10.30am.

I think we should have a little moment on here to mark it.

cozietoesie · 21/09/2016 21:33

I agree.

Twunk · 21/09/2016 22:00

Will put it in my diary and come on in the morning to remind us all

cozietoesie · 21/09/2016 22:29

Thank you, Twunk.

Seenthelight21 · 21/09/2016 23:47

It's at times like this I look back on my 3 years with Forever and think Thank God I got out!
I still have other Bots on my Facebook and have had to endure all the Greece updates!
I now see it all even more so for what it really is
Total bullshit!

All posting the same things over and. One top bot does it and they all Copy and follow like sheep!!!!!!
They pretend their filming their rooms so their family /kids can see when we all know it's a chance to showcase all the appropriately placed products and show off about how amazing it is! When the reality is most have got into debt to go on that trip .... I know 100% that's the truth too
One girl was £6000 in debt on credit cards due to buying ccs!!!! Yet she's still doing it..

All posting videos showcasing how amazing it is and it's a hook to get people recruited

It's sold to people as a free holiday when In actual fact it's a full blown brain washing event with trainings you HAVE to attend!
Last year people took their family and some haven't this year..... instead they have taken someone in their team to 'inspire them' hmmmmm brainwash them I mean to make more ccs for the managers above!!!!

If it's such an amazing holiday why aren't their kids there!???

Total bollocks
I'm so happy and thankful to be out of it but it annoys me so much seeing all the bullshit that still goes on!

Oh and for those that aren't aware the top bots that moved from LTW have joined an American company that sell 'magic coffee'
Loads of FLP doing it too
Ground floor opportunity
Get it now blah blah blah

You drink one cup of this slim roast coffee for 6 days out of the week have a day off then carry on
Costs £60 a month and weight losses are supposedly 7lbs a week
What total crap!!!!!!! There are hundreds of them doing it and selling it
