Hi: ========================================== 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. ========================================== You know - maybe this is just me - but the while these issues might be like "grenades" to anyone that's *in* a bad MLM or *was previously* in a bad MLM - they're duds to me. There's an old saying that if you take away a millionaire's money, he'll earn it back inside of 5 years and if you give a poor man a million dollars, he'll be poor again in less than 5 years. Ever seen the stats on people that win lotteries? Ever seen a rich guy lose it all and rise right back to the top? So, the whole "join the kingpin's church or you can't go farther and you'll lose it all" is an idle thread. Totally idle. Addled, even. If someone told me that, I'd simply reply that their loss will be greater than mine. I can ALWAYS find another way to make money. They can't find another me. Just my two cents : ) Linda

Rudy, ====== Honest and total information, in my opinion is the key. If information and facts remain hidden, how can "they get it"? ====== I absolutely agree with that statement, it's a shame that people feel that they have to hide facts and information to be successful. In MLM especially, if you know what's going to work to sell your product or service, it's in your best interest to share that information with your downline.

Bob, ========== Why do "scammy" mlm's seem to target "christians"? Or maybe more correctly; why do a lot of "christians" seem to be marketing "scammy" mlm's? ========== As a "newbie", I don't have enough experience to comment on this, but I am curious to know if this really is the case. Why do you feel that way?

Tiger Lily, (Hope you like that one) ========= 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. ========= Dear Lord, (no pun intended, well, my just a little) do people REALLY do this stuff. I know that people can be niave, but this niave, REALLY?

====================== 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! ======================= HAHAHAHAHA! Now that's just downright funny! I've never heard of anything like that before. But I am aware of some high MLM leaders that are very religious people, but I've never heard of them pushing religion on any of their downline.
