RE: [MLM Survivors Club] The "Jesus" Twist -- Rant on Religion and MLM's

actually it seems to be typical, many MLMS claim to be "Christian" based organizations. It seems there are people in them who are Christians and who have "good intentions" to help people but after a while - who are you really helping and what guise are you doing it under? Meaning, once you're in that MLMbrainwashed mentality everything gets distorted including your faith.

Subject: [MLM Survivors Club] The "Jesus" Twist -- Rant on Religion and MLM's

All right, time for another rant.

I don't think I mentioned this in my original post, but the more I

think on it, the more irritated I'm getting.

Apparently, Jesus "wants" me to do LTD. This is the latest info I've

gotten. LTD is apparently a "Christian" based organization. This is

the latest argument that has been used to er...tempt me to join.

My friends know that I have a strong faith, and they've sunk to new

lows by telling me that Jesus has led me to this opportunity -- I'm

struggling very hard by the way, to not put everything in "" because

of how stupid it all sounds -- and how He would never want me to be

a failure in life.

*Deep breath...count to ten...temper still boiling....*

Also, during meetings, LTD has what are apparently called "ALTER

CALLS"...I'm Catholic so I have no clue what those are, but

apparently this is where you are invited to come up on stage and

accept Jesus Christ as your savior.

During a "business meeting". Procaiming you are saved by the big J.C.

...

WHAT?!?!?!?!

Is this typical of an MLM, or is this LTD just it's own special

brand of crazy?
