This is the 42nd thread in a long series about the dangers of network marketing/ MLMs such as Forever Living, Ariix, NuSkin, Arbonne, Younique, TS Life, and MANY MANY more!
Posts here will give examples of the lies told by 'top bots' who portray luxury lifestyles in order to lure in new victims and of the other techniques and brainwashing used by MLMs
Over 90% of people who join an MLM end up LOSING money. Always bear that in mind when considering paying money to join!

Will there actually be a live at 00:00 if so I will go take some photos of the moon and return, with a packet of wotsits and a vodka. Grin

I see that Yawn has done another launch...it's tragic it really is, you can tell the new victim doesn't have a great deal of money and yet Yawn has probably told her about untold riches that await her, I honestly don't know how they sleep at night, I really don't.

Paddy1234 · 31/08/2018 22:37

I have a bottle of champagne, a box of chocolates and some excitable Memes - trump you all. I see Sleeze has commented - has he signed up?!?!?

Whiterangey · 31/08/2018 23:40

I'm here, 21 minutes to go.

Now I have that stupid 21 seconds song stuck in my head.

Ladiva1971 · 01/09/2018 00:01

Ok where is it?

Norma27 · 01/09/2018 00:03

Has anything happened yet?

Whiterangey · 01/09/2018 00:04

Well i'm underwhelmed. A bit like when everything electrical was meant to fail at midnight on the millennium and nothing happened.

Whiterangey · 01/09/2018 00:05

"and lift off"

I changed my pajamas for this?

Ladiva1971 · 01/09/2018 00:09

Seriously??? He sed and lift off!! and all his followers are literally dying?? Saying I KNEW YOU WOULD SMASH
THIS??

Norma27 · 01/09/2018 00:10

Wow! What an amazing launch. Now I really am feeling daft for not getting involved.

Ladiva1971 · 01/09/2018 00:10

WTF has he actually done?

Ladiva1971 · 01/09/2018 00:13

I wasted a fuckin packet of wotsits for that shite...……………..

Norma27 · 01/09/2018 00:27

I’m going to sleep now. That is if I can nod off after all that excitement.

Bovneydazzlers · 01/09/2018 07:48

Castle’s amended accounts... looks like it’s been done for tax purposes. Directors loan account has increased, but so has value of other creditors. In the prior years accounts they put a name to this creditor (wonder why they didn’t this year, possibly it was on shaky ground) that it was the provision required at the best guessing to reward employees for the past year. But it looks to be to defer a tax payment for another year to me... it will have to catch up with them one year though.

They can’t be going Lanza for reduced rental, that rental yield on their current place isn’t great.

notsurewhatshappening · 01/09/2018 08:46

Messiah claims FB messenger crashed due to all the activity with the launch last night....really???

Teddy1970 · 01/09/2018 09:19

I don't understand balance sheets, they make no sense at all, but then I'm not an accountant...so has Castle taken out a massive loan against the business? Why did she need to when she got over 350 grand back in 2016? Like I said earlier, I'm not up to speed with these things.

leasedaudi · 01/09/2018 11:02

I see yawn has set a goal for her DD to pass her driving test on her 17th birthday Hmm. Apparently learning to drive on private property will enable the poor child to cope on exam day, which would be the first time she drives on a real road.

Ok!

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 01/09/2018 11:10

Wonder what Yawns going to do if her daughter suddenly decided that she doesn't want the embarrassment of her whole life on an open social media account for all to see. Her son has clearly made that decision some time ago.

So far we've seen Yawn "bigging up" her DD to be a fashion designer, a model, some sort of miracle worker with animals and now she's going to pass her driving test on her 17th birthday.

Not like the pressure is on for the poor kid then Hmm

Bovneydazzlers · 01/09/2018 11:12

Teddy... it’s just a guess really but cash hasn’t necessarily changed hands. By doing it this way, it gives a bit more time for Castle to pay her personal tax bill as she’s not declaring it as salary, it’s just a loan which you have a bit of time to payback before tax on interest is charged. It’ll all have to be paid eventually (when they release the ‘provision’ as salary to Castle, or alternatively don’t pay it but then would have to pay the corporation tax on it instead), it will just defer things by (max) one year.
The question that all their downline who look up to Castle should be asking is the same though, why is the top person in their team having to worry about amending their accounts (not something most companies do likely) because they need more time to pay the taxman. They are the ones who have no money worries anymore.

All speculation though, the finances could be all tickety-boo.

fitgirl26 · 01/09/2018 12:15

Can someone explain what actually happened when TS Shite was launched last night? Why were all the Bots on fire? Why did their messenger crash? What were they actually doing?

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 01/09/2018 12:33

Seems they were just blowing smoke up the Messiah's arse.

Happypuppy · 01/09/2018 12:38

I looked in some of the Ts life bots individual profiles and all they’re doing is chatting to each other on the “launch” threads? I can’t see any orders being placed or even a “Pm me hun”

acatcalledjohn · 01/09/2018 13:11

@Bovneydazzlers I view the accounts in a similar way. It really does seem like a bit of creative accounting in order to release some funds/avoid the tax man. Together with all the talk of the move to Lanzarote etc it seems just a bit too coincidental to be totally innocent.

I'm guessing they've wasted most of their bonuses on material shite, rather than investing it properly. And now that FL (and by proxy the pro planners) is drying up fast in the UK suddenly the pressure to continue to fake the high life must be mounting.

All speculation of course.

And with Brexit only 7 months away, her honestly earned ill gotten GBPs will lose value when converted to EURs.

acatcalledjohn · 01/09/2018 13:18

And on the subject of TS Life:

What a fucking anti climax.

Does flogging this shite through her company 'slimming and inch loss' not make false product claims? These are screen shots from the website linked on the page of one of the five who started this (so not messiah & his partner, or the other couple).

£19.50 for a week of coffee? What planet are they on?
