I know from personal experience that it is very hard to get someone
out of an MLM.
I was dating a guy that was in up to his ears in Primerica. I
thought that going broke would cause him to leave the company. He
switched groups within the same MLM so he could work and still be
part of the MLM. I got him to move 50 miles away (which means you
lose all your customers) but he simply stepped down from his high
ranking to a lower ranking prostion to retain the customers. Now he
is trying to turn the company he is working for into Primerica. He
is buying some of the books and giving them to his boss (so he can
run the company the "right way").
One day when we went to horrible talk (actaully it was a plea for
money)given by the Audobon Society. I wanted to leave and he told
me I was being "negative". I said the talk was stupid and pointless
and I did not want to waste my time. He told me that I needed to
understand that some people aren't good at presentations and I
needed to change my thinking to become more positive. Later the
same day he tried to get me to listen to positive thinking cds.
The point is the brainwashing is powerful and no person wants to
admit that thier "friends" used and manipulated them. Your sister
is being told she is a loser if she quits and not to communicate
with losers. It is a long hard road to get someone to get out of a
MLM and stay out. However since your sister is new to the scene it
might be easier to get her out. The most important thing is to get
to counseling so a trained professional can get her to see the
light. That is the only way that I have seen that works.
