Word of God Fellowship and their ohmygodthisisawful

Not only is Amway still around, the daughter-in-law of one of the founders of this scam is now U.S. Secretary of Education. When i was in college, one of my classmates did an investigative report on one of the Multi-Level Marketing companies that had become popular in our area (not Amway but one of the copycats). She pretended to be someone who was interested in signing up as an "associate" and secretly recorded the entire experience. On the recording you could hear another woman start talking to her as though she was also interested in being an 'associate" when what she was really doing was making a sales pitch. "Hey, don't you think this sounds like a great way to make a lot of money? Are you going to sign up? I'm going to sign up right now." So my classmate, being smarter than the average southern redneck, said to the other woman "So how long have you worked for this company?" To which she received a nervous reply "What do you mean?" My classmate answered "You're not really trying to hide it very well since you were also here for their presentations yesterday and the day before and both times I was parked across the street and saw you talking and laughing with the guy who has done most of the talking during this presentation. Your job is to be a shill and pretend to be interested in being a member while you actually con unsuspecting people into signing up." The woman who had just been caught said "Wait here just a moment, please." There was silence on the recording for about 45 seconds and then a man's voice said "Ma'am, I'm going to have to ask you to leave." My classmate said "Why, because I know how your scam operates?" The guy showed no shame at all and answered her with one word "Exactly."
