[Electronics-talk] [EXTERNAL] Re:Telework/work fromhome/work virtually/telecommute?

Mon Jan 6 23:49:34 UTC 2014

When I was in a club called Toastmasters, one of the members befriended me. 
First it was to eat out and talk, then she asked if I'd like to have more 
money.  One weekend we went to a regional Amway rally; we have some 4 
straight hours of hearing Jim speak, short dinner, and more hours hearing 
Connie.  This couple was the person at the top of the Amway folks my new 
friend was following.  They had a lot of clapping, cheering, and liked to 
play a rock song about money popular back then in the 1990's.  My friend 
wanted us to have pictures taken with Connie and Jim who, she said, were 
quite rich and Connie wearing diamonds.  It was impressed upon me that I 
could sell so many different products and I could use them for myself plus 
some of what I bought would go to my sponsor, and then would have some 
trickle down to people under me. The last deal was when I agreed to her "The 
Plan," where I was told I would get 6 friends in, each of them would also 
get 6 friends, and I would not tell them they would come to hear about 
Amway.  When I didn't join, the woman had no interest in me. Yes, by then it 
was not a new business and harder to pull people in, and the woman who 
talked with me barely had money to live.
