PHD I really do not need to know that your period is due. 🙄 Her story video is mind numbingly boring. Calorie intake, how tired she is, how many sets she did at the gym. 😕

CanoeDoYouThinkYouAre · 14/11/2019 18:44

A woman on my road drives a Cambridge diet branded car. She also doesn't know to give way to the right on a roundabout....

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 14/11/2019 19:32

I'm sure these bots are getting more and more desperate as to what to post.

I mean, FFS, do people really want to hear that your son had to go to college a bit later than normal? Or that your period is due? Or that you're still in your pyjamas? Or what you're wearing that day?

Also, is it my imagination, or does there seem to be a constant stream of evening training in the supposedly "family friendly" FL? (or is that just in Yawn's team as she gets increasingly desperate)

Gotmychocolateimgood · 14/11/2019 19:38

I guess the evening and weekend training is to make it possible for the minions to run their biz alongside their JOB. Traditionally the brainwashing training was carried out very late at night or early in the morning as people are more suggestible when they are sleep deprived. Also why diet products are included in so many MLMs - being hungry makes you more suggestible too. Although the more I look in FL FB groups the more bots confess to regularly cheating on their c9 or juice plus programmes. Galling considering the amount they pay for them!

Reformed1Bot · 14/11/2019 23:12

I don't follow nurse but when you are failing you always think its because of you. You think when you sign people up that they might be better than you, they may have what you lack and be the one to boost your business. You kid yourself that showing people the business is doing them a favour, because you may show them a way that changes their life, even if yours hasn't yet changed. You can sometimes think a person will be rubbish but you sign them up anyway because its drummed into you to not judge who could be successful. You are encouraged to "find your diamonds"(the successful motivated people) and the very principle of that is based on the idea of sifting through sand to do so.

Reformed1Bot · 14/11/2019 23:16

PhD used to revel in the story of how she found her first diamond when she gave her business card to a woman she met in a car park to sell a hamster cage too. She described how this lady 'put her business into momentum' and how we should share the opportunity with everyone as its these chance encounters that could change everything in a heartbeat. So you plough on, desperately seeking that ignition and trying to 'manifest' that magic moment.

BSintolerant · 14/11/2019 23:45

I wonder if that actually happened to PhD or if bots like her are advised by culty MLM mindset gurus to invent such stories to stop their downlines from deserting them?

RogueApostrophe · 15/11/2019 08:56

More curious is that PhD bot gave up her residual income in the Aloe gloop because the business no longer made her happy. Does she actually mean that when she closed her account, the residual income was no longer there for her as her downline moved to someone else? I doubt that any of these Bots will be able to benefit from the business once they are no longer staying active within it which is why I always cringe when they say it's "willable income" that they can pass on to their kids.

CodenameVillanelle · 15/11/2019 09:05

That's exactly it. If they don't do their ccs or whatever they don't stay active so their downline shifts elsewhere

Spongebobette · 15/11/2019 09:42

Yawn is online for an hour at 8pm every night to make herself available to her team

So she can knock any negativity on the head, encourage them to do pointless activities such as lives and special offers, and can keep them BELIEVING

thetemptationofchocolate · 15/11/2019 10:08

It's easy to underestimate the power of brainwashing. I too see Nurse as a victim.

Whiterangey · 15/11/2019 10:09

I've been busy and have not been bot watching regularly. Something i've really noticed during my very very brief break is the increase in panic. Yawn especially. They are coming to the end of a not very good year, worse than last and that was bad.

The second tax bill bot, the singing one, has her accounts on companies house, not the company that is in liquidation, but the new one she set up. She would qualify for universal credit.

Heads up, I heard the new Frozen song this morning, it's called into the unknown. Bots will be putting it on social media and saying that victims should follow them into the unknown. Law of reaction in 3...2...1...

@acatcalledjohn

I believe the Talented Ladies Club made reference to her wealthy parents not long after the BBC documentary aired.

It's hugely embarrassing for Nu Skin as she is being pushed as one of the UK's top reps and I believe the top bots circled the wagons around her to protect her after she was filmed undercover.

There is another well known rep from the same company who had brief celebrity status before entering the MLM world and her LTD company has been dissolved without any accounts being filed.

I would not be surprised if Influencer bot's LTD company gets dissolved in the same manner.

Looking at the overall big pictures with all MLM's the thing that troubles me most is trying to work out who the victims are and who are the narcissistic scam artists who know the reality but don't care about who they get involved.

Jigsawpuzzle · 15/11/2019 11:50

Just had that HMRC scam call (I am an ex tax officer in receipt of civil service pension)
This got me thinking do the bots hone the skills to recognise scammers in other areas?
I recently watched a police programme where they were after drug dealers in Castles neck of the woods.
Pity the residents sandwiched between drugs & MLM, as they are both after your money, and this is replicated in all towns & cities

MLMsuperfan · 15/11/2019 15:15

No MLM offers a residual income. It's a fantasy.

Jigsawpuzzle · 15/11/2019 17:05

Yawn you don’t OWN your children.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 15/11/2019 17:14

Well, she also thinks she owns her biznis, maybe she has a problem with that concept...

Whiterangey · 15/11/2019 19:12

Not a good idea publicising anything to do with your child learning to drive. What if they fail their first test, or even 3 tests.

That's a lot of pressure putting it on social media.

spanfan · 15/11/2019 22:51

Nice to see you rangey 😎

Jigsawpuzzle · 16/11/2019 09:39

I have noticed the desperation.
Uber-dragging wedding to infinity and beyond. Pimping her DD-bath time /potty/mealtimes.Try WhatsApp.
My JP bot copious quotes, and making shakes/gym activities/ dog walking(rinse&repeat) She used to drag out crystals/tarot cards which are gathering dust somewhere.

Don't forget that yawn took her daughter for a driving lesson on a private road and said she expected the daughter to pass her test on her 17th birthday since she'd have 3 years of practice 😂

willdoitinaminute · 16/11/2019 16:24

For someone who is a biz biz owner and coach nil points for advanced organisation. Did she really leave it until the day of his birthday to sort out insurance. Of course she didn’t just another opportunity to demonstrate how she can ‘afford’ to shell out 3 or 4K at the drop of a hat.

Norma27 · 16/11/2019 16:34

She was trying to insure him on the tank of a dogmobile. But the car she buys must be cool enough for him. Just like that car would have been.
Yawn you are soooo transparent. And boring.

Jigsawpuzzle · 16/11/2019 17:09

Collision of 2 worlds as people in Insurance have real jobs and he will be classed high risk.Real jolt to succumb to reality.
Castle and clan on the doggie treadmill.
