New thread, links to follow...

I've sometimes wondered whether all the copying is partly down to sheer lack of time and energy though? When do adherents ever get 10 minutes to think?

You must be so glad you left, Seen. You can sit and watch a movie over a chip supper without feeling guilty now. (Or not as the case may be - you have choice at last. )

Thanks for posting your experiences Seen. I have a mixture of anger, exasperation and pity for these women who are desperately following the 'formula' for success, spending more and more personal money and time in the expectation that they will make it to the mythical six figure income. Meanwhile those at the top of the pyramid reap their downlines rewards [anger].

Thank you seen for your bravery and honesty, it is very interesting to hear the other (truth) side, and thanks Twunk, that is a lovely idea to have a small moment on Wednesday for CAM.

Hi Seen - are the holidays not paid for by forever? I thought that bit was true. From what I've seen though they are all working like mad though so I don't think it's a holiday by any means - but did think at least forever pay for flights and everything?

I've noticed a lot setting up second businesses as well so think they are twigging it is not a money maker. Seems to be since the cc change for recruitment.

Regarding the top bots I just don't get how people still believe in them! One of them was posting a fortnight ago about how wonderful her life was. She's now posted that actually it wasn't wonderful (so she was lying) but it's now wonderful again as she's got a new "business" which is the best thing ever and will make her and everyone who signs up a millionaire. Can't their followers see they are being bullshitted over and over again? It really makes me quite angry

Yes 'holidays, I mean 4 day work events are paid for by the company and you have a plus one
It's flights accommodation and some food...
If you wish to take your children you have to pay for them but that's not how it's sold at presentations! They say you & your daily can travel the world for free with your family eerrrrr okay then! Haha
I know one of previous team hasn't taken her children this time as she couldn't afford too!!!! It's a bit if pool time and events but mostly brain washing!!!!!!

Imagine the holiday you'd be going on if you spent £6000 on it instead of spending it on aloe gunk. They can't see it can they? Its such a cult.

I'm getting hives just thinking about being stuck in a hotel with hundreds of Forever Living bots. (I'm sure they're very disappointed I'm not going)

€7500 for a short holiday for 2? Fuck me I'd have an amazing time! Can't decide whether to go to New York or somewhere hot.

I'm sure the Forever Bots will be running to this to make sure "the article is balanced" but here's a link to a media request:

By my reckoning, £6000 aloe bot has paid four times what the free holiday is worth (just looked it up on the Westin Resort website). Well who knew that you don't get anything for nothing and that the 'free incentive' is costed into the profit margins of the aloe gloop? Well I never.

Knock you down with a feather - eh, smiinky?

magic coffee😆

I have been laughing like a drain at one bot's 'top tips'. She has set herself up as an expert in blogging and using social media and can help you if you join her VIP group, ha ha haaaa!!
Here's a gem:

Their business coaching is so not! They don't know the first thing. Incidentally I read Mari Smiths book (for research purposes as she's the Maelle trainer). Yes there was some stuff in there I could use for my own business and I will, but some of it was actively creepy, there's a chapter on how to get a meeting with a famous person in your field, in order to use that connection to add validity to your own business. I found it dodgy, tbh, because it was basically internet grooming and stalking, then also other creepy things such as using an app to discover all the social media accounts of your email contacts, then suggesting you add them and creep round them. (sending gifts on their kids birthdays etc), I just found it fake and insincere, would you actually do that? When its your birthday just watch the Maelle bots come out of the woodwork whooping and cheering and making little cheesy photo albums for you and set your bullshit detector to 11. Because we know what you're up to.

Yes I know which Bot you mean Spongebobette! She talks such a load of complete bollocks but people treat her like a guru.

Looks like its all kicking off between Ariix and Forever. Just listened to a very interesting video, seems that someone has been slating Ariix and they have taken offence. FIGHT!!!!!!!!

If the magic coffee is made with magic beans you won't catch me drinking it. I don't want to end up with a beanstalk growing out of my jaxy!

Fi fi go fum, who wants a beanstalk up their bum?

Oh god I've just watched the bot I mentioned above's 'training' on prospecting ppl on FB, which basically consists of liking posts and commenting, then DM asking about their life, hol plans to soften them up then ask them if they are 'open to an opportunity'
It's so false and exploitative

Asking about their holiday? Woah! Groundbreaking stuff!

If I got a DM from a random asking about my holiday plans I would probably block them! And got to love handbags at dawn with the Bots. The passive aggressive videos are so funny!

Someone send me a link to the pass/agg videos? I'm waiting in for a plumber and need entertaining

I am hopeless at technical stuff like that Sponge so I have pm'd you hun. See if you can do the link for me thanks.

Asking about children is often a chink in the armour of even the most seemingly sensible individual, Twunk.
