Don't worry about any backlash in this club, our owner and
moderators are very good at screening pro-mlmers and the few that do
slip through to attack one of us quickly finds themself decended
upon by many of this club like sharks to feeding frenzy.

You have learned the ugly truth about mlm but you did not recruit
anybody into it which alot of us did to one degree or another before
we either learned the truth and quit or quit after experiencing the
same lies, deceit, and theivery. Of course we had to eat crow and
apologize and try to rebuild relationships destroyed by this scam.

As my driving ed. teacher in high school many decades ago once told
my class, "when you remove your foot from the gas pedal the car
immediately begins slowing beofre you ever hit the brake." Now that
you see the truth there are many ways ways to rebuild your family
relationships, friendships, and yes you financial situation. Of
course the finances will take dedicated work and there is no magic
answer, just the tried and true sound money matters we have been
taught from day one. Once again welcome aboard and I'm sure you
will contibute greatly to our club.
