Treacle Lips, zzzzzzzzzzsscccchhhhhhhhhhhhhh What was that? Ugh. False alarm. As I was saying, TL's... ------------------- "A little extra effort upfront could save a lot of time and effort in the long run." ------------------- Alas, your words are full of wisdom. But one has come to expect such offerings from thee! Linda, a fairly tame opening salvo. Testing the waters, are we? Seeing who is gonna release the lions? zzzzzzzzzzsscccchhhhhhhhhhhhhh Darn! Giant mosquito. We breed 'em big in these here parts. Lock 'n load. Gary Simpson

Linda, Pay for prayers? NO, Never, not even every considered.

Heather, Is it really bad business? Then affiliate markets all over the world are bad business. I like Linda's idea. It is for internet sales remember. Why can't there be links with the appropriate codes to give the appropriate credit?! Technically there is no reason it can not be done. It is just as Linda says, MLM companies don't get it.

Hi: ========================================= I like Linda's idea. It is for internet sales remember. Why can't there be links with the appropriate codes to give the appropriate credit?! Technically there is no reason it can not be done. It is just as Linda says, MLM companies don't get it. ========================================= If we had a happy face that does the high five, I'd use that. LOL. Instead I'll just put a mark on the wall. If I can find a space between the sticky notes, that is. YES! There is NO technical reason it can't be done. They don't GET IT. lol

OK Gang, Time for wussin' an' pussy footin' is OVER. "INBOUND" zzzzzzzzzzsscccchhhhhhhhhhhhhh BOOM!!! ====================== Grenade #6 - SOME MLM's and SOME legs of certain MLM's have hidden agendas that are sprung onto you when you reach a "locked in" level in the business. That is when you are pressured into joining the big-pin's church! ======================= You are TOLD in no uncertain terms that you will not be able to proceed any further in the business until you take religious tutoring and accept Christ into your life. What is a "locked in" level? (Someone is bound to ask)... It is one of the first or second levels of "leadership." Enough to ensure that you have done plenty of work and have a fair bit to lose if you fall out of favour. You are summoned to a meeting where several big-pins will "counsel" you on your perceived heathen ideologies - but you are not informed of the subject matter before you enter the room. The devil is talked about and you are made to feel as though you side with Beelzebub - even if it is not true. Many big-pins will also single you out with glassy eyed stares when they make comments from the stage concerning such matters. Some minions might even make a casual glance in a certain person's direction when the pressure is on for that person to "come to the front" and accept Christ. Another technique that the big-pins use is to quote passages from the Bible on stage - particularly when they are about to make changes to the system that favours them with even greater profits (ie changing the bonus structures). Moses was quoted often in the main MLM that I was part of. The point I make is that perceived non-believers were made to feel inadequate and "unwholesome." Mind you, the king-pins still accepted manna from the great unwashed swirling masses. That was NEVER an issue. I make the point that this may not happen in all MLM's but it sure did in the one that I was in - a very large MLM with a parade of very big pins all ascribing to the same doctrine. I will now await my fate deep in the bowel of my bomb shelter. Gary Simpson
