Do we read between the lines on Castles latest post?

gotmychocolateimgood · 06/08/2019 12:47

@Jigsawpuzzle what does Castle's post say?

Jigsawpuzzle · 06/08/2019 13:30

Her mums birthday and how much support in the last few months she has given to the family.

gotmychocolateimgood · 06/08/2019 13:33

Thanks 🙂

Why are the Castle clan always going on about how close they are?

I always just assume families are close and love each other unless told otherwise, it's what families generally do. Saying that her Mum loves her and her siblings, isn't that what mothers generally do? I'm not going to post that I love my children or expect anyone else to, as it's generally accepted that you love your children.

A family that loves and supports each other is not going to come as a shock to anyone, and their family is no different in closeness to any other. Obviously you have families where a parent or parents are complete assholes, it happens.

It just seems really odd to me that they feel the need to keep saying it, as if they have something to prove, it's really odd to be honest.

I love my children to the extent that I would sacrifice my own life to save theirs, in a heartbeat without even thinking about it, I love them that much. I don't need to say that, i'm a Mum, people already know that. If you're a mum I already know that about you as well. I'm not a supermum, there is nothing special about my parenting skills and me as a person, i'm just a mum, it's how we feel.

I'm also going to think that my family is better than any other family because I love my family and think they are brilliant. Objectively my family isn't any better than other loving families out there, but these are the people I love the most so of course I think they are the best.

It's really odd that the Castle clan don't seem to realise this, and almost daily post about how close they are, it's really really odd, and there is nobody I know on facebook who go on like that, and I certainly don't. It's really weird.

gotmychocolateimgood · 07/08/2019 10:12

It is weird. I think it's part of the FL training. Family is king and the family friendly working aspect is done to death (although we all know the weekend trainings etc are anything but).

I think the Castle family go on about it more than most though. Especially now they aren't showing off flash holidays, cars etc.

9dartfinish2nd · 07/08/2019 11:11

Unless i'm mistaken aren't FLP annual accounts due up at the start of October?

Interesting to see if the slide in turnover is still as dire as it's been since the boom year of 2015.

Saw a post from 21/7 July where Yawn is recruiting people from Botswana to Bot for her (post is on her business Facebook page). It sounds funny and ironic but it's just very sad.

SSDGM · 07/08/2019 11:17

Average salary in Botswana is £15,500 pa after tax. The FL prices won’t be any lower there.

She’s vile.

9dartfinish2nd · 07/08/2019 11:24

Hasn't the No.1 FLP UK bot been targeting Africa for quite some time?

New FLP strategy or stepping on someone toes?

MLMsuperfan · 07/08/2019 12:01

I think the happy family stuff comes from the Law of Attraction, which says you should write about what you're grateful for.

On material matters some think this is a loophole to allow boasting; I am so grateful I can afford blah blah.

Spongebobette · 07/08/2019 12:29

I’ve been worried about the way Yawn has hooked in some women in Bristol, all women of colour and Christians
I suspect she’s found a connection to Botswana through them. She’ll have encouraged them to use all their networks to recruit and it’s possible that she was phoning someone in Botswana from that connection
The women in this group all attendees her ‘training’ in her garden shed for weeks, driving all the way from Bristol, and they seem fully botted up.
It’s incredibly sad to see Yawn exploit these women and their communities, here and abroad

Whiterangey · 07/08/2019 12:40

No 1 FLP targeting Africa?

I'll let her words speak for her, this is from Malawi 2007:

"but the audience were excited and we had a fantastic response at the end, with people wanting to join there and then. The cost of the Combo box was 54,000 Kwatcha (the local currency), which was the equivalent of about 7 months average income in Malawi, yet it didn't seem to stop them. Some promised to come back with the money the next day, and some registered and said they would have to wait for a month or two. But the excitement was high and the need for Product and Business was obvious."

She won't go to hell, Satan doesn't want the competition.

readeronlyuntilnow · 07/08/2019 12:44

Yawn commented on a downlines post - similar words to, she played a big part in their promotion - something to that effect anyway. To which the downline replies with thanks. Maybe a manager.

Whiterangey · 07/08/2019 13:56

What's the point of a promotion when your earnings are going down substantially and you are going to lose everything?

15 years ago my husband got a promotion, it was worth quite a bit extra per year. He turned up for work one monday morning to find the doors locked and a note on the door saying the company had gone tits up.

His bosses boss had left so he got his bosses job and his boss had moved up as well. His boss was standing out there with him, both suddenly unemployed. This was about a month later.

Yawn's situation reminds me of that day. A pointless promotion and about to lose her income. We'd barely finished celebrating his promotion.

Of course they all found other jobs quite easily and the reason for the loss of his job was a good one. His promotion actually meant something to future employers though. Don't think being a sapphire manager in an mlm translates into the real job market.

Also, how can you get a promotion if you own your own business?

Whiterangey · 07/08/2019 15:49

Broke is going on about having his hands on a cox 2 inhibitor.

Considering the amount of research, and money, that went into Merck bringing Vioxx to the market, and then going more than a little bit wrong, i'm fairly certain that his shite in a bottle isn't actually going to do anything.

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 07/08/2019 17:22

I think Castle's sister is pretty ill. Chances are there are a lot of things going on behind the scenes and the family are all pulling together (as any family would). I think that's what the posts are referring to rather than just general 'aren't my family ace' comments.

PlasticBaby · 07/08/2019 21:34

Honestly, all the close family bullshit I can forgive rn. Her sister seems to be very ill. Normal people would post the same. So it gets a pass.

The Leech has long been in Africa. I have family, who have friends, who were approached. Turns out,SA, isn't worth enough. Poorer countries are

SnoogyWoo · 07/08/2019 22:34

What’s wrong with her sister?

Spongebobette · 07/08/2019 23:01

None of our business, tbh

Spongebobette · 07/08/2019 23:06

I’d be really pissed off if I’d succumbed to a bot’s persuasion and splashed out on Forever Living skincare, because it’s suddenly BOGOF

Whiterangey · 07/08/2019 23:15

They have been doing the family love thing for years. They even had their youtube channel declaring how much they all love each other.

This isn't anything new.

JaniceBattersby · 07/08/2019 23:29

I think it’s best to lay off Castle for a little while. Things are not good for them atm.

BSintolerant · 08/08/2019 00:58

Broke is going on about having his hands on a cox 2 inhibitor.

Did anyone else read that and turn into Finbarr Saunders? Fnar fnar! Grin

SnoogyWoo · 08/08/2019 06:30

Yeah poor Castle, it’s so sad and I feel so much pity when a scammers life starts to unravel.
