I've never been in an MLM but my mom was in several while I was growing up. she always lost money and then we'd have whatever product it was for years after, trying to use it or get rid of it. as an adult, my only interaction with an MLM was a friend inviting me for a "spa night" and showing up to it actually being an MLM pitch. I was livid about the deception of the invite and ended up leaving. she was shocked 😮 because "it's such a good opportunity and the products are really good" I've been out of the JWs for about 6 years now and I did a deep dive into researching cults and high control groups and the similarities between MLMs and religious cults are so incredibly high, it's laughable really

[@AbenaK-K]

People in MLM behave in a similar way to high control groups. I know one lady who became so bitter towards a lady who didn’t join her MK (the cosmetics group) to the point of rejoicing over a health issue the other lady had. The lady is now relieved of that problem so I’m waiting to see how she would respond.

Hello Charley, This is another great video. It is very informative, you definitely know what you’re talking about. Keep up the good work and keep the videos coming ❤❤

[@charleysjourney]

Thank you, very kind 💕

Yeah I ended a friendship with a MLM earlier this this. She was a narcissist like most abusive women I've met in life. Background on my story I've been physically and emotionally abused by women outside of my family, as a child, teen and adult. I hope everyone is safe and well. Charlie, I'm still awaiting your email. I replied to your email you sent me back on Aug 14th. Its now Aug 26th. I hope your safe and well.

Watching this video is bringing back many memories on the business front and the JW . On the business front OTE earnings folk fall for , It means nothing and the recruitment bit makes it a pyramid scheme. I would never be a witness because it do know if the religion I was brought is correct or if any other religion is corect . I like to think a have a faith , that faith is I have a maker that is my faith at least I may have a maker . Bless you

Feigning an interest in folks at the door is definitely step #1 in the JW playbook. Showing love and helping folks, but only as long as they are having a progressive bible study is conditional friendship and phony love. The moment they discern that a bible study student isn’t going to fully embrace their teachings and isn’t progressing towards getting baptized into the organization, they will drop you like a hot potato! !

[@AbenaK-K]

That’s why I let them know from the jump that I’m not interested.😂

A hot tater

[@AbenaK-K]

They are friendly especially to people who they think are vulnerable. That’s what a couple thought of me till I showed them otherwise. Now it’s just ‘good morning’ or ‘hello’. No more trying to give me books or putting notes in my door about angels😂😂

[@LaineyW1983]

I never thought about the creepy similarities in the recruitment tactics. I thought you were going to talk about the insane peer pressure to support MLM’s within the congregation.

[@soulofstace]

Totally agree💯💯

Good morning Charley, I'm still awaiting your email reply back from your email you sent me back on August 14th.
