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

I admittedly have a strong bias against all organized religion (and
MLMs)- because it allows charlatans to control people - just like they
are trying to do to you. I would urge you to not confuse your personal
faith with allegiance to organized religion. Nobody appointed these
people spokespersons for JC.

One thing that MLM and organized religion(Christianity is as organized
as any) have in common is a requirement by adherents to suspend
judgement and believe without reservation. That is probably why MLMs
do great business with devout Christians, and particularly(I don't
know why exactly) with the mormons of Utah - most MLMs are based there
and apparently do great!

MLMs are no different than organized religion - They are both about
mind control.(Just my biased view :) ).
