*gloop, not flood!

I noticed that “income disclosure’ too, it was just after posting about “nameless”. The ID is residing in the small print at the foot of the page. I am sure it wasn’t there before?

Anyway, this statement I really do not buy:

“The majority of people who join Forever simply enjoy the products at a discounted price. As a result, in an average month 88.6% of purchasers globally did not receive any meaningful compensation or earnings from Forever. Many others start their Forever business by selling part-time to their personal contacts as a way to make a little extra money”.

There is just no way 88.6% of people joining FLP are doing it just to be a retail customer and get a discount on overpriced Aloe. Who are these “purchasers”? Almost all fledgling “business owners” hoping to make some money. Sure, there are some who just buy product but what proportion of the 88.6%? Around 0.6%? I bet most of them are customers who think they’re business owners and are hoping that the promises made to them by the likes of Yawn will happen. The ID is a flawed document but it’s the best we’ve got. I’d rather see it in table form without the spin.

yes they did bullet points rather than a table deliberately

Spongebobette · 12/08/2022 12:05

It also says ‘no specific investment is required to join Forever’ - so is the ‘business in a box’ no longer a thing?

Twentytwentyhindsight · 12/08/2022 12:08

The FLP ID (and much more) discussed in this excellent article:

Spongebobette · 12/08/2022 13:18

Absolutely brilliant article

Shortpoet · 12/08/2022 14:18

Bloody hell. The filters on Yawn’s C25K challenge.

PieonaBarm · 12/08/2022 15:17

Do you think Yawn realises she's turning into a charicature of herself?

Spongebobette · 12/08/2022 18:03

The ship sailed a long time ago on that 🤣

it’s hilarious that she was doctoring her photos to make her look slimmer months ago, before her ‘weight loss journey’ so that when she actually began to lose weight she had to continue to use filters to make herself look even slimmer
She checked out of reality in terms of photos such a long time ago, now nothing is real

spanfan · 12/08/2022 22:38

Love love loving that yawn has wasted delboy trotter on her insta. 🤣😭😭

Once again the ironymeter has exploded. 🤣🤣🤣

Spongebobette · 12/08/2022 22:52

Omg

Shortpoet · 12/08/2022 23:07

At first glance, I thought she’d picked up a promotional pack of loo roll from the supermarket, but I see on closer inspection she’s holding a box of collagen (that looks like a four pack of loo roll).

spanfan · 12/08/2022 23:24

Not wasted

*quoted. 🤣

SnoogyWoo · 13/08/2022 06:28

And Mr Yawn has left his ladder in the shot 😂

<snorts>

Do you think it's actually his van, too? Grin

I agree about the filter, it is so odd. She really doesn't need a filter - and now she is making it really difficult for herself to keep her story straight. But everything is so smoke and mirrors.

Back in the day, there were bots around who didn't front it, didn't peddle lies and were quite candid about the ups and downs. But all the ones I looked up to have gone or retired. The only ones I see about now are just salespeople saying whatever it takes to reel the punters in. There are a few I see mentioned on here who publicly are lovely people. But if anyone challenged them, bloody hell they were ruthless. Not remotely surprised that certain ones have had posts removed here!

Spongebobette · 13/08/2022 10:48

When you were doctoring photos a year ago to make yourself look thinner, you then find yourself trapped when you want to boast about weight loss because you are now the actual size you were pretending to be…. so you have to continue to use filters to exaggerate the weight loss and end up with a weird elongated face
Laughable

spanfan · 13/08/2022 13:31

Can we speculate on what fierce and castles big announcement?

Presumably nothing amazing. But the hyperbole will be immense.

BSintolerant · 13/08/2022 13:53

My spies inform me that Professors Castle and Fierce’s big announcement will reveal the real reason why the Milka Cow is lilac. Hint: it’s got something to do with Yawn and a pot of Frenchic. 😉

My money's on some god awful guest speaker, maybe that 'I'm wacky, me' one from MLM with the abundantly smackable face.

Ohnonevermind · 13/08/2022 14:54

They’re probably building a new castle in the sun for their scamversity campus as they can get lots of bucks for a week of indoctrination

Fierces current house looks nice but is in the arse end of nowhere, Castle only has one asset left her house. Perhaps bank of mum and dad will pay her share.

I see kids have been farmed out to her cousins

Spongebobette · 13/08/2022 14:54

Oh yes it’ll be something like that

YouOKHun · 13/08/2022 15:05

Yes @dickiedavisthunderthighs I bet it’s something like that

”eek, we are pleased to announce visiting professor Ninja will be here on the first day of term to help you hang up your satchels and to deliver his lecture entitled “how to position Mummy & Daddy’s money to look like your own success and then sell your method of success to the vulnerable”. Vice Chancellor Castle is a contributing lecturer here as it was the subject of her dissertation. This lecture will be delivered in our virtual Student Hunion space and we will charge you to drink your own Prosecco while you try and decipher what Professor Ninja is really saying”.

And he will impart to you the big secret to success which is to lie to everyone all the time (and also to yourself)

YouOKHun · 13/08/2022 18:54

It came to light a few days ago that Fearne Cotton is speaking (or has spoken, I think the event has happened) at the Arbonne convention. Talented Ladies has picked this up with an excellent article today about why it’s a problem. What I didn’t realise when I tweeted about it was that she has previous form with Arbonne.

I do wish these people would put the ethics of their paymasters above their own pockets. Look forward to her next caring comment on women’s mental health 😠

Just looked at some of the students who have commented on Castle’s live.
Wouldn’t want them on Xmas card list. Strange motley crew.
