Yawn's GemBot Disciple has put the caravan on her dream board. Her latest post mentions the caravan right at the end. Give me strength!

NATURE IS MY NEW LOVE 💓 I HAVE FOUND DURING THIS LOCKDOWN
BLACK WOMAN
BLACK QUEEN 👸🏽
NATURE LOVER
SOON TO BE CARAVAN OWNER (speak it and believe it )

Yeah. She deleted the post she was 'attacked' on. AKA the only post she's had any interaction on.

Spongebobette · 27/08/2020 08:49

Nurse is just following the path her mentor has shown her
Any pushback, however sensible and measured, is treated like a personal attack and bullying and go immediately into victim mode, play the Be Kind card and retreat further from real life friends and take comfort in the cult
The fact that this friend was not specifically commenting on FL is irrelevant - Nurse now has the fully botted worldview of Yawn

Bluewavescrashing · 27/08/2020 08:51

Denise was hitting back at cut services due to covid, fair point tbh. But if you don't want to debate about stuff, don't post it on your fb surely!

Spongebobette · 27/08/2020 08:56

Particularly as she must be desperate for some engagement on her page!
In fact some bots use the odd controversial post to get a bit of debate going to boost their algorithms!
She’s really not very good at this, is she.

CodenameVillanelle · 27/08/2020 08:59

She's extremely not very bright.

Spongebobette · 27/08/2020 09:00

Perfect fodder for Yawn’s brainwashing

BSintolerant · 27/08/2020 09:32

How did she qualify as a nurse?

CodenameVillanelle · 27/08/2020 09:38

Good question

SoosanCarter · 27/08/2020 10:27

Her qualification is in Mental Health nursing. It was easier than general nursing 20 years ago.

fromdownwest · 27/08/2020 11:10

Nurse really is terrible at this game. A meme of someone on the toilet with the strap line 'Me on the first 2 days of a C9'

Why on earth anyone would buy one based on that is beyond me.
Previously when those few posters pointed out some of the flaws in MLM's she played the same card.
She is so deep down the hole, that it appears all logical thoughts are now gone, and sadly, this may be the swan song for her real friends.

As an aside, Castle's podcasts!

Basically an advert for her, and blatant brain washing nonsense, under the guise of marketing training..

Spongebobette · 27/08/2020 12:55

Castle needs her podcasts just as Trump needs his rallies, just as Yawn needs constant praise from her downline. Narcissistic supply.

Norma27 · 27/08/2020 17:13

There is a ' business owner' on The Chase.
I wonder which pyramid scheme?
A repeat but I've not seen it before.

Norma27 · 27/08/2020 17:23

And the weather made my power go off as she was going to the table so I am none the wiser what she does/did!

All the FM bots seem to be posting this. How strange that they all hadn't heard of FM two years ago but are now making their dreams come true.....🙄

But a discount on fly spray for NHS workers. Yay?

Yawn's post about the (very expensive) hand sanitizer is very misleading IMO. Those bottles are only 250ml , although at first read I thought they were 500ml, but her photo of them, shoved up close to the camera, makes them look so much bigger.

It made me think of that classic Father Ted moment..."These are small… but the ones out there are far away. Small… far away…" Grin

yorkshirecountrylass · 28/08/2020 08:09

Oh I'm so cross with myself, just fallen into the classic trap! Embarking on the world of Home Ed and saw an ad on FB for an online children's book club, advertised as read the book and then for the children to be able to review it. Naively I thought it would be modelled on a similar vein to the adult book club I was once in whereby we'd all read the same book over the course of a month then meet and discuss over wine and cheese (maybe less wine for the kids version?!). Nope. Bloody Usborne at home. The "review" part is that after you read the book you submit a written review to the seller. Should've seen that one coming!

Malin52 · 28/08/2020 08:56

Oh god. Nurse has bought 'The Secret'. Because of course what has been missing is the fucking cosmic ordering....

CodenameVillanelle · 28/08/2020 09:03

This exemplifies the tragic nature of low level bots. She's so steeped in magical thinking because she can't bear to accept that she is losing money because the system is flawed.
fromdownwest · 28/08/2020 09:44

I find that book genuinely scary, it seems to remove peoples rational thought process. It is like the MLM cult bible, scary stuff.

Nurse is a fool, and soon to be a skint fool. She continues to ignore her friends and plough on with this nonsense. She is not a victim, she is someone looking for an easy way out, at the expense of others.

Tupperwarelid · 28/08/2020 09:50

Surely nobody except the FL bots are going to pay £20 for 2 x 250ml of sanitizer? That’s a ridiculous price but I suppose you’ve got to pay all your uplines out of it!

Norma27 · 28/08/2020 10:26

Surely people want the small, portable hand sanitizers anyway. At home use soap and water. Out and about I use hand sanitizer.
Nobody except FL bots will be buying that shit.

Spongebobette · 28/08/2020 10:32

Yes hand sanitisers are for when you are out of the house
Soap and water more effective and kinder to the hands
What’s that you say? Forever Living sell bars of outrageously overpriced soap AND liquid soap?

Spongebobette · 28/08/2020 10:34

In my head Nurse fluctuates between victim, simpleton, liar, con artist, cult member, exploiter and exploited
