Yes - note the comment about thanking their lucky stars they are in a position to offer their kids this opportunity. My boys went to the local primary school, the local boys comp, the local 6th form college and are both doing well post and under grad at uni. Even better - I didn’t have to flog any dodgy coffee to pay for it Grin

Spongebobette · 07/11/2017 20:19

Yup!

When they talk about 'replication' they really mean it!

Spongebobette · 07/11/2017 20:31

(that was a reply to Special upthread

danbarnes · 07/11/2017 20:32

So I hear Maelle is relaunching next month. I'd almost forgotten about Maelle with all the dodgy coffee MLMs recently.

cozietoesie · 07/11/2017 21:51

But they (nearly) all seem to keep on ‘re-launching’. Sad

cozietoesie · 07/11/2017 21:53

Is it a chance to get rid of ‘deadwood’ or just an excuse for some razzmatazz?

SSDGM · 08/11/2017 00:05

Lipbot fails to mention that Porschebot has a very well paid job. Lipbot also list think we are all pillocks because Xerveo didn’t pay a penny and she won’t have started earning quite yet from Organo because none of the UK orders have even arrived yet.

Spongebobette · 08/11/2017 14:20

It upsets me to see bots boasting about members of their downline 'sharing what we do' 'getting friends started in business' etc etc

I live in hope that these new victims do some googling and inform themselves about Forever Living before parting with any money but sadly I think the love bombing by the teamies will blind them and stop them applying common sense

SSDGM · 08/11/2017 23:08

My Vida Bot, for all her crowing about how she’s making 4 figures from home, has got a part time job in a care home.
So much for financial freedom, eh?

Norma27 · 09/11/2017 10:27

How often does yawnbot rediscover her first dream board and suddenly realise she has ticked everything off?! At least as often as she does a C9.

puffyisgood · 09/11/2017 17:17

apologies for being another one of you lot who every few months might occasionally stalk a high ranking MLM-er who was in the past indirectly responsible for recruiting an acquaintance of mine.

there's a guy whose FB profile i've browsed from time to time, from what i could gather he was one of the first in the UK to jump ship to Ariix [from JP in his case] & was a bit of a poster boy for it. his page was mostly full of fairly standard empty boasting about his 'lifestyle', posing for photos in the big house where he is a servant or handyman of some kind lives, etc.

now his page seems to have vanished into the ether, does anyone know why?

spanfan · 09/11/2017 18:12

Just a quick heads up. One Organic not mentioned in a live that her teamie had had a call from the beeb about a documentary...

Could be bull but my curiosity is piqued... 😁

kamchatka23 · 09/11/2017 18:24

I know who you're talking about puffyisgood. I noticed his profile had disappeared as well and thought it rather odd. I did see him in some photographs at a recent event they had though, posted on another bots profile, so he does seem to be still involved with Ariix.

SSDGM · 09/11/2017 22:34

A top American Founder bot of Xerveo has announced her departure from the joint venture with Vitae on Facebook. She now needs “time to heal”.

Riiiiiiiiiight.

Toobusytowee · 09/11/2017 22:52

Does anyone here work with addiction or with an organisation that does? I want to write a blog post on the similarities between addiction and MLM, especially with regards to gambling. It would be great to be able to pick your brains and get a better insight into the issues.

BSintolerant · 10/11/2017 15:38

I watched Louis Theroux's Scientology documentary on BBC iplayer last night. What an odd bunch they are. If you haven't seen it, it's worth watching.

Has anyone tweeted him about the possibility of looking into the antics of mlm schemes?

cozietoesie · 10/11/2017 15:48

It was a disturbing piece, certainly.

I don’t know about t’other.

Rumplelipskin · 10/11/2017 19:27

Think Aiirriixxx have a big event this month in Telford - the big cheeses will be there.....

Rumplelipskin · 10/11/2017 19:28

Sorry scrub that - already happened! - deffo loss brain moment!!!

BSintolerant · 10/11/2017 19:38

Is Telford a hotbed of Ariiiiiix activity?

cafeaulaitpourvous · 10/11/2017 20:18

Yes @BSintolerant ... they all stand on top of the Wrekin ‘touching their business’ and saying “you look ok hun” ........

DoratheExplorer17 · 10/11/2017 20:39

Loads of MLMs have events in Telford. I'm guessing it's a big enough venue with a small price tag?

ReformedBot · 10/11/2017 21:11

Today I have decided (I think) to leave FL. I have read these threads all day and while not all information is accurate against FL, it is undeniably just DIFFICULT. I have been a part of them for 3 years and I am distraught at how much of my 3 year olds life has been spent with my hand in my phone or frustrated because I wanted to get on with work. I don't think I made a penny, I never sold at RRP (even at cost price and less was a struggle!!) and bonuses I made from building a decent size team will have easily been eaten up in expenses.

I'm not sure where to go from here. What do I go back to? I cannot accept that I will not live in a house in the country or drive a fancy car. How do I admit to my eldest child that everything I have been telling them for the last 3 years about a better life is not happening?

I believe - with reasons to back this up - that FL is in a massive state of decline in the UK. The only way forward is for reps to build in countries where FL is new.

Do I announce on FB that everything I stood for in the past 3 years was wrong. Do I let the bitches who took the piss out of me have even more of a laugh at mine and my FL friends expense?

I am an intelligent woman. I knew that quite often things were not always as they seem and questioning anything resulted in a telling off about your mindset and being made to feel like you had done something wrong. Yet I knew people WERE making money so I just had to copy them and at times I didn't care if it meant recruiting hopeless people because I was doing whatever I had to for MY family.

I genuinely don't know how to move forward without giving up on my goals and dreams!

BSintolerant · 10/11/2017 21:16

Cafe! Grin

So they're frigging on the Wrekin cos there's fuck all else to do...?

I'll never look at Telford in the same way again. Wink

CurlsandCurves · 10/11/2017 21:21

This is all new, you don’t have to say anything to anyone. Or do anything. Or make any big announcement. Take time to process this.

doratheexplorer might well be a good person to talk to. I’m ex FL myself but left over 10 years ago so not up to speed with how things are now.

It’s tough to admit something isn’t working, mlm or not. Do what’s best for you and your family.
