I've seen this w/ Mellaluca (sp?) back in the 90's, a few other things after that and now this. It more than bothers me, it disgust me to see ministers use the saints for their gain. There...I said it!

Well...yeah you said it and it's true! Our former OP minister who could not come to pray with us managed to call on us to join his downline in Melalucca.

Yep! I've seen so much of that. They should be ashamed of themselves.

The reason these methods have always offended me is that you are making money from your friends or relatives!!

Get a real job

Yeah...and that is the first thing the top level MLM people tell their downline people. Make a list of your family and friends and ask them to allow you a visit in their home for a sales pitch.

My husband back in 2008 was laid off for several weeks at a time during the fall the winter months. So he saw an ad in the paper looking for people to train to try to earn a little extra money to tide us over. You had to go to the meetings to find out what kind of training. So he took the week training. It was a super vacuum cleaner that is very powerful and converts to steam cleaning or dry vacuum. It was a nice vacuum, but it was not worth the $4,000 they were asking for. And their sales tactics that they were training the people for were somewhat deceptive and high pressured. And since they know most people do not have $4,000 to dish out for a vacuum cleaner, they would finance it! Lucky people eh?

Hubby decided that he could not tell tales to people just to earn a large commission for himself...said if he tried to sell those vacuums, he would have to answer to God for the deceptive sales pitches. He dropped out on the last day of training refusing to sell those.

Sweet Pea..Could you stand to lose a few pounds in 90 days?

I know I need to...

There is the MLM element.... that you can be involved....but there is also the health element....

I have talked to many people with medical problems taking this product across the US... and they love it...

The health aspect is great...and yes you will find negative things about it online by two or three folks...

but people I know are using the products, losing weight, feeling great.... NOT resellers of it... just using it....

as a matter of fact I have been struggling with IBS the last 6 months...and in FOUR DAYS! I have noticed a change in my system....

Call me 209-597-9120...and let's do it together.... My wife and I both are on the Challenge....

and yes Sweet Pea I would be happy to share the info you need with you...

I've talked to folks using it while taking chemo, struggling with diabetes, battling fibromyalgia, weight, also folks who are fit and use it as a supplement for health....

In the last 9 months I have lost 84lbs...and need to lose another 60 to get where I need to be.. so it is a great tool for me...and yeah....there is some money I can make along the way... so feel free to contact me... I would love to share it with you.... randygraham1@yahoo.com.....

revrandy · #29 08-13-2012, 11:17 PM

I wouldn't push this on our church by any means...other than if they want to join the challenge they can by seeing what it's doing for us...

Soon we will hold weight loss challenges in our Building on Sunday Evenings... and Maintenance Meetings to help folks keep their goals in focus....

You can keep up with us if you would like....I will let you know if we fail so you can rejoice....LOL....

Randy - please accept my apology. I never intended my MLM remark to spark such commentary.

I am very happy for you and what this product has done for you physically. I really am - and I'm not knocking the positive aspects of this product. But in all sincerity - I promised myself that I would never become involved in a MLM program again. Been there - done that.

I am truly excited for you and your "Honey" - I wish you all the success in this endeavor (both physically and monetarily).
