RE: [MLM Survivors Club] To Roxy...And Every1 Else...

Last time I checked, The Keg steakhouse does not tell their franchisees that if their family does not eat at their restaurant, they are negative and not to be trusted. I absolutely HATE Dairy Queen hamburgers, and if any of my family opened a DQ I would not eat there. I don't believe DQ would tell my family I was an outsider trying to steal their dream or crap like that. That argument is not relevant. I do know some cults that encourage people to avoid non-cult members of their family like the plague has infected them, so there is some similarity there.

As for the whole open-minded argument, I believe a good many of us joined an mlm because we were open minded. My open mind saw mlm's for the scam and waste of time and money and relationships that they are. I do not believe I have to keep an open mind to something that clearly doesn't work. I won't keep trying different kinds of cigarettes hoping to find the right brand that won't kill me, just to say I am keeping an open mind. I won't keep an open mind to the possible benefits of a fascist government, there are not any. I will not keep an open mind to a mlm that works, THERE ARE NOT ANY. The Titanic had a viable model, except for too few lifeboats, undersized rudder, going too fast and let's not forget about that pesky iceberg......do I need to keep going

P.S> While Avon has been around forever, so has prostitution and I won't be trying that or encouraging my friends and family to try that anytime soon either

Roxy...I in no way intended to offend you by misquoting or mistaking what you were saying concerning your sister. I think it is a perfect way for your sister to involve you in something she is passionate about without putting on the pressure to buy. If you like it...you will get more I guess.Every1...I am just trying to absorb what is being said and not trying to become completely close minded about MLM's in general, because I don't think you can lump them all together, especially in light of a company like Avon becoming multi level. They have been around forever, and I remember my mom going door to door selling it before there was such a think as the internet and there weren't Avon ladies on every corner back then.I can understand the purpose of the group is to protect those who feel victimized or affected by MLM's, but should we become as obstinant about all MLM's being bad as proponents of them claim they are all good?I am here to objectively gather info in general because I have had so many different family members involved in different things...but basically it seems like the business model is a viable one in theory and I just don't see much wrong with self promotion. If your sister owned a steak house (and it was a franchise even) she would probably tell you to come on down and eat there...no one would argue that you should support her. Granted I don't know a thing about her MLM, because I have no personal experience with them...maybe they are not financially viable for their prospects. Is there room in this group for someone to be truly openminded and open to the possibility that not all MLM's are created equal?
