[MLM Survivors Club] explanation...

Well, so many questions, let's see if I can remember them all and
respond.
You aren't sure my motive is really information gathering because I
have friends and family involved in multiple different mlm
companies? That's not really something I can convince you of
obviously, you'll believe what you want apparently. I am an
information seeker. If I am searching for Premiere Jewelry, find out
it's an MLM, then search for MLM scams and find this group...it
piques my interest, I join up to see what I can find out further.
The only post about them I have found here is seven years old and not
very detailed.
I can only speak to what I have seen about the companies my close
loved ones are into...they have never high pressured me to join, buy
or have parties. So I guess not all mlm's are teaching these
negative, anti family practices that you keep saying they do. Of
course, I am not telling them they are brain washed because they have
ambitions to make themselves a business out of these companies.
I also am not their prime market because I personally don't wear
jewelry or use cosmetics.
Is a steak house the same as an MLM? No. But I doubt all MLM's have
the same EXACT structure either.
My uncle sells cars and guess what, his boss makes money off of his
sales too. Managers make commissions off of employees. Exactly the
same? Nope. But the same basic principle. Every higher level makes
a bit more off of the ones below them. My uncle also wins incentive
trips for having the most sales, etc.
My SIL who sells jewelry makes money, loves having the parties and
enjoys the company of the women she meets. I am sure not everyone
makes tons of money. Neither do car salesmen, waitresses,
managers...there are successful and unsuccessful people in all
businesses and professions.
I can grasp that some companies are only pushing recruiting and not
product sales. If they don't make sales, then I can see they might
not be viable as an avenue for money making...but if you are selling
product, to those who want it, not forcing your friends and family to
buy it, then surely these folks are making some money. Is it going
to make you rich quick? I don't foresee anything doing that without
work short of winning the lottery...
Alcoholics analogy wasn't really hitting home for me...
If I know someone who is a diabetic, I won't start telling EVERYONE
not to eat sugar...or that fruit is sweet, so it must be bad too.
Ok, so if we are going to be open minded, can we not admit that not
ALL mlm's are created equal? Or that at least the possibility exists
that one is not bad? Mary Kay, Tupperware, Avon, Premiere
Jewelry...I know someone involved in them all and I don't see that
they are being brainwashed like I keep hearing here about some of
these things like Arbonne and Quixtar, Amway. So how long does it
take for the supposed brainwashing to happen? Are they all just
doing it wrong because they haven't pressured me to be a rep yet?
