The cynic in me says Leech and Uber were faking it and did a photo opportunity then went their separate ways, then got a script ready to tell the huns.

I can’t believe they actually shared a room either. Those are possibly the only two with credible amounts of money in the bank, they would have funded their own rooms if FL didn’t.

I wonder if they had to share because there are not enough rooms for everyone to have one each. I would have thought they would rather pay for their own rooms too.

Spongebobette · 04/05/2019 09:24

@DoraExplorer99

Indeed. And all the minions in the downlines who share the cheque photos need to put the disclaimer on too

Spongebobette · 04/05/2019 09:34

And why don’t we have the same laws in the UK?

MLMhun · 04/05/2019 09:45

I think that ice hotel has very limited rooms.

Whiterangey · 04/05/2019 09:54

If I shared a room with Bloodsucker I'd be checking I still had both kidneys in the morning.

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 04/05/2019 10:04

whiterangey that made me snort Grin

gotmychocolateimgood · 04/05/2019 10:14

Blimey FL are finally clamping down! If bots can't show off incomes on cheque day when can they?

I can't wait to see how pathetic the cheques are though!

Spongebobette · 04/05/2019 10:19

That’s only because of the law in Sweden.

There is a paragraph on Forever Living Products UK annual statement on Companies House referring to medical claims and how they are training their FBOs about this though, so they are aware
Which is why you don’t see ‘cures IBS’ posts anymore, they’ve cunningly gone to ‘here’s a testimonial from a customer who has found drinking aloe has stopped her Fibro symptoms’

Hi all, new to this thread and literally spent my morning so far reading the thread.

I was brought up in a religious cult and it is really scary with how similar the tactics are that MLMs use! Lots of mind control and if someone doesn't agree with what you believe then you cut them out.

My old hairdresser is one of the top 20 for FLP in the uk. I remember years ago she tried to recruit me. We met at a pub and she showed me some stupid slideshow of what the 'business' was and how I could earn loads of money. I left there feeling none the wiser about what it actually all was. So glad I didn't get sucked into it. She tried to also get my sister into it and she seemed interested until she went to an evening and found out that those events they were always boasting about on Facebook, well you had to pay for them. Thank god she didn't get sucked into it either!

I'm just really interested to know if any of the people that you mention on here are my old hairdresser. She is so fucking smug- my children all go to private school, I've now got freedom blah blah blah. I can't stand her

darceybussell · 04/05/2019 10:46

Ooh gem, if it's who I think it is, hasn't she gone back to doing hair extensions now? Forever living can't be paying particularly well any more if she has been forced back into her oh-so-dreadful day job!

gem584848838 · 04/05/2019 10:59

Oh my god!! You're right. I'm not on Facebook anymore but I've just googled and found her open Facebook page where she does hair extensions! Can't believe she's gone back to it!

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 04/05/2019 11:45

Yesterday Yawn posted about one of her team and "calling her to mine for a leadership meeting".

That team member has posted about having an "unplanned pitstop on the way to our family weekend away" to see her coach.

Does that mean Yawn clicks her fingers and everyones plans have to be changed and they have to go running to her? What can be that important?

So much for a family friendly business if you have to interrupt a family trip away

Jigsawpuzzle · 04/05/2019 11:52

Had to laugh at Yawns latest post when she declares the assets the company has amassed. She states they have a manufacturing plant. My DS is an engineering supervisor in food manufacturers and if he was ever made redundant I would tell him to avoid this gloop.
I see castle is en route, is it going to be a family affair?

JaniceBattersby · 04/05/2019 13:49

Looking at the FL website, it seems they have to pay $320 USD for each child they take! No wonder my bot’s left her three kids at home.

Whiterangey · 04/05/2019 14:27

I don't understand bragging about how much money the company you work for earns or is worth. Tesco is huge yet when I'm chatting to the cashiers they are always hunting for bargains and don't appear to be benefiting from the billions the company they work for is worth.

Although they earn a substantial amount more than 99.6% of people in an mlm and I actively enjoy talking to them instead of running away.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 04/05/2019 14:41

After my OH had raved at length about how marvellous it was to work for a company where the chairman gave such generous bonus cheques (she believed the CB cheques come straight out of Sexy Rexy's deep pockets), my father took me aside and said "she does realise she sounds like the zero hours contract cleaners at Barclays HQ saying how blessed they are to work for an institution that pays its investment bankers such great bonuses..."

kittens876 · 04/05/2019 16:23

Wow what an illuminating thread! I got sucked in to JP for a month or two via the princess movement. Realised luckily that it was a scam and moved on. Will be reading this with interest x

Whiterangey · 04/05/2019 17:06

Yawn had a friend coming to pick up all the 14-16 clothes that are too big for her. She left them outside the front door and the dog pissed on them which obviously means they can't be given away now.

It makes no sense, why put them outside when the friend is coming and you are there? Why put them outside with the current weather when you don't know if it will suddenly start raining or not?

Methinks she realised she is actually going to need them or may already need them. With the C9 you put the weight back on within a day or two the moment you eat like a normal human being.

She may have never planned to get rid of them in the first place.

HairyPotter · 04/05/2019 17:14

I though I’d worked out newly promoted supervisor bot, no mean feat as Yawn blocked me years ago Grin but I don’t think it’s who I thought. (alliterative name relating to a precious gem)

Any clues lovely people?

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 04/05/2019 17:52

What was the new phrase that was coined on these threads? Law of Reaction ?

Funny how Castle's sisters housing situation was mentioned recently and lo and behold a post has appeared about their new home (which to me looks strangely like their old one Confused )

Whiterangey · 04/05/2019 18:38

It's a lot different to the new build house they were going to move into in September 2017 when she took photos and was asking about colours.

Can't help wondering if they are moving into a rental and went to a show home just to take photos. Surely you would know how big the windows are from the specifications of your new build.

Given they are currently packing their new build should be virtually ready.

It will be interesting to see if photos of their new home with them living in it surface in the next few weeks.
