Welcome to my leadership blog. Ideas have consequences and the goal of this blog is to discuss ideas of consequence. Some ideas you may agree with and some you may disagree. No worries. The only rules are that you post under your own name and that you think and discuss in a civil manner. People who attack others only prove they have reached the limit of their logic. The Bible states, "Iron sharpens iron" and we will sharpen one another by what we read, write and think. The goal of this blog is to help us identify and follow truth in all areas of our lives. I encourage you to join our leadership discussion and transform yourself and others through the renewing of our minds.
Re: Amway/Quixtar - It's Time to End the Spin
by Tim P
Orrin, Many, many years ago, Sandie and I would attend these seminars, not yours, and there were times when things were, "a bit off." I mean, some things said from stage and even at the OPENS were, "just a bit off." As Sandie and I continued to listen to the CD's and read the books and associate with the people, again, things were, "just a little bit off." I couldn't quite put my finger on it at the time but in my mind's eye and in my heart, things were just a “little bit off.” During this time, our sponsor asked if we had seen the movie, "The Matrix" and so we got a copy of it and watched it. It is one of my favorite movies and I hadn't watched it in awhile so we did the other night. And in this movie, things are "just a little bit off." Of course in this movie, the whole point is to build a dream world to hide the truth and the truth was that the humans were being born and raised and used as an energy source for the mechanical artificial intelligence that had taken over the earth. At any rate, I found it quite odd the comparison of the two; i.e., the information we received years ago that seemed to be “just a little bit off” and the different things shown in this movie that were a “little bit off”; both designed to hide the truth. And today they are not just a little bit off but out right falsehoods and un-truths. But TODAY!!! Today when I read a book, I hear the book repeated from stage. Today when I listen to a CD, I hear the information from stage. Today when I listen to what's said from stage, I either read it in a book or heard it on a CD. This system, compared to the system of years ago is so true and honest and pure and full of LOVE and courage and integrity and on and on and on. IT IS NOT, "JUST A LITTLE BIT OFF" and never has been. I feel it in my heart! I hear it in your voice and in Chris's. I see it in the faces of all the men and women I've seen on stage. In fact, to see Tim Marks almost in tears because of the standing ovation we gave him in Louisville should tell some of the cronies out there that this is real, that this is true. This is NOT a little bit off. What we have here today are men and women who care about people. They do not care about money nor do they care about success. What I see today is a group of men and women who are willing to take a shot on the chin to help someone out. What I see today are men and women who are willing to stand up and fight for the weaker ones out there. What I see today are men and women who are willing to give their lives for a cause, a cause that is so much greater than them. And I thank the good Lord above for this chance to be a part of the most explosive program ever. I thank God every day for the opportunity to become a better person. I thank God every day for the little things in my life. Today, I know that I know that I know that what we have our hands on is a system that will help anybody who can grasp these principles and apply them willingly to their own life and become a better person and even become what ever it is that God wanted them to be in the first place. Sandie and I were there when we were given a choice between Amway and Quixtar and I remember all too well that it was NOT Amway. In fact, because of my IT background, I was flat out excited to finally have this business on the web. And yet, some things were, “just a little bit off.” Orrin, you are a person of honesty and integrity and I watched you over the past 6 or 7 months as you took hit after hit after hit. Not once did I see you or hear you bad mouth anybody. Not once did I see or hear you put anybody down. Not once did I see or hear you make threats. Not Once!!!! And by golly, well over 2000 years ago, Jesus didn't either. And so my friend, I simply pray for strength for you and for further protection too. It is men and women like us that will change the world just like Mother Teresa did; one person at a time. And we will NOT BE “just a little bit off.” Go With God My Friend. Tim P.
