Amway distributor discovers new chapter to Bible's Book of Acts (TRUE)...
Edited on Sun Jan-16-05 04:34 AM by rooboy
This is NO joke. Birdie Yager, wife of Amway's number 1 distributor Dexter Yager, has taken to the podium at an Amway rally and announced that God has given her a new chapter to the book of Acts!! It was handed to her by Cherry Meadows, another leading distributor.

And to prove her point, she reads it out to the crowd. Check THIS mp3 out...

6. If you've ever seen her dressed in makeup (and I have)...
she looks like a porn actress. In reality she's the epitome of a Stepford wife and a mega-fundie.

5. So was it given by God or handed to her by Cherry?
Or is Cherry really a codename for God?

Just what is in those Amway products exactly?

10. FYI, this lady and her husband virtually OWN Rick Santorum.
the training tapes, books and seminars that Dexter and Birdie Yager sell to their distributors is reputed to earn them around 40 MILLION a year. They fund republicans all over America, but particularly Sue Myrick in the Congress and Rick Santorum in the Senate.

28. Oh, please spread the word then, if you will. I don't think many real
Christians would be too thrilled with this historical "find".

11. Apparently the secret to financial success is to surround yourself
with imbeciles that will believe anything.

13. If you ever have time - read some stories from people who went through
Amway. There are plenty who have just lost everything - including their marriages. The overall opinion sounds like a cult - long hours without breaks at these conventions, and the language sounds so much like what * uses - downplaying college education etc.

18. I was put on guard the first time I went to a "meeting"...
And the "Upline Direct Diamond" guy was flip-charting how much cash I'd be hauling in and said "Of course, right off the top, 10% goes to The Church. you're OK with that, right?"

It's a cult. Just try to say anything critical of the founders, Van Andal and DeVoss and see what you get.

16. Was he all out of golden plates?
The gullability of Americans never ceases to amaze me.

Listening to the tape, it's my profesional opinion that this woman is full tilt bozos.

17. That is funny, if it weren't so scary

* just needs to sign us up with Amway, to hell with social security!

Scary that people believe that shit!

I can't believe some of those quotes....

"we're building this business because God told us to and he's making us rich"

"This business was put together by him (God)..."

"through the Amway business, God is establishing his covenant on this earth, through you"

"He told Abraham that his covenant, that he would establish his covenant on this earth through....does anybody know?......wealth!"

23. No. He commands them to buy tapes, books and go to functions.
That's where the real money is. There is a secret business behind the Amway business which is MUCH, MUCH more lucrative. The "kingpin" distributors make hundreds of millions a year off the training tools and function tickets that they sell to their flock. But the unwitting distributors don't know it.

24. Another must-see website which is funded virtually 100% by Amway money...
http://www.gospelcom.net/

Claimed to be one of the biggest Christian websites on the Internet.

25. That is absolutely DISGUSTING, no .... REVOLTING!
I am soooo absolutley chaffed by the insane rantings of Christians, AKA "moral elitists", that I could simply vomit.

This is the exact brand of lunacy that governs our nation at this sad juncture.

Imperialist Christian Fascism impregnates mainstream Christian "morality." I shudder at the evil that this bastard son of a philosophy, no son of the "never wrong" ... will produce.
