I thank a wonderful friend for helping me to obtain this information. I pray that it may help anyone deliberating involvement in Amway or any other Multi-Level Marketing organization that mixes faulty religious concepts with greed.
For those who may be wondering on what basis I can offer sites that critique Amway: I have been a Distributor in or exposed directly to Amway since I was 12 years old. I was a distributor when I was in High School. Then, after graduating from college, spending four years in the Marine Corps and getting married, I became a distributor again. This time, I was active for almost four years. During those four years, I acquired much debt "building my dream". Please read my Amway story for the complete details.
I received the web site address of an Amway Emerald who broke two Emeralds. It is a wonderful expose of the deception and lies which are spread by Dexter Yager and his Diamonds. It was comforting to have my suspicions confirmed that the money they were making at Diamond came primarily from selling the books, tapes and tickets to function, not their Amway business. If there is anyone out there who has verifiable FACTS to refute Mr. Probandt, please let me know, I will publish them here. (Unfortunately, as has happened often, Amway seems to have used its vast financial resources to threaten Mr. Probandt to close his site since it revealed Amway's deceptive tactics. So much for free speech, eh? I guess if you have enough money in the U.S., free speech means any speech that you allow.)

Amway's Misinformation Campaign Part 1 This site was Sidney Schwartz's response to Amway's notice on their ABN web site. If you would like to see what Amway said, click HERE. Sidney does a terrific job of pointing out that although Amway states over and over the naughty things that Sidney has done, they never ONCE show what it is on his site that is legally or factually offensive to their corporate sensitivities. (Due to Amway's legal harassment of Sidney, and his inability to afford to fight them, he has taken his site down. But you can still go to his main page to find mirrors of his former site. AUS) |

Mirror Sites Here is the home of many Amway-realted sites that have been mirrored. Mirroring is taking all of the contents of one site and moving them to another server. In the world of expensive attorneys, one regular person can't afford to defend his Truths from the lies of well-heeled lawyers used as pawns by big business. |
Please let me know if any of these links do not work. I will research the problem and try to remedy the situation as soon as practicable. Just leave me a note on my John6:54 Feedback Page or .
Also, if you have specific facts which refute what these sites (or anything on my site) say about the practices of the AMO's, let me know. After a sincere effort at verification and validation of your assertions, if I find that what you claim is true, I will immediately remove the link, make the change, or warn the reader of the misrepresentation.
