Shades of Scientology. Reminds me a little of the tales of woe of people who were still buying into Amway in the 90s. Did you know that Amway is still around? They changed their name, they solicited a friend of mine, I went with her to one of the meetings and one of the members told me that it was God's Will that I had come to the meeting. We left skid marks... Amway does, I believe, target rural and tending-towards-poor Christians deliberately. Of the smaller shack-church areas I've been to in Tennessee, N. Georgia and Alabama, you couldn't throw a rock without hitting someone who wanted you to "come over for dinner" with an ulterior, sales-based motive. Most purchase-then-sell pyramid type schemes are failing miserably (make-up and tupperware, etc.) yet people still buy in bulk, hoping for a slightly-more-gullible sucker to come along and keep the chain going. |
