Is Herbalife a Mormon creation?
“When someone preys upon the members of a congregation or community in order to get personal gain, it is a reprehensible betrayal of confidence, and its perpetrators are rightfully subject to criminal prosecution.”

I don't know about the founders, but it looks like it's making it's way through the ranks.
Part of the reason for this is that the LDS sect teaches that it is a sin for women to work outside the home...so they look for these "work at home scams".
The freaking worst I ever saw was the Boyscout "fundraiser popcorn tins"....I was scoutmaster for a several years, and was ORDERED to use this as a fundraiser. I told the bishop at the time that the numbers didn't add up and that almost ANYTHING would have been a better fundraiser for the boys. He was adamant and told me orders had come form "on-high". As I recall, folks were guilt forced into buying $25-50 dollar tins of Christmas popcorn and the poor boys got about 5%. The company was in Salt Lake and no doubt owned by someone with power to give or arrange orders from "on high".
You Save: $38.97
Elsie..is this for real?
Yes
WOW!... Thanks, for the info.
Smith also established what was called the "United Order" where all members gave EVERYTHING they have to the leaders and the leaders "REDISTRIBUTE" as need...."From each according to his ability, to each according to his need". After a few years of living under the united order, Smith recinded it and split what had been gathered among himself and about 6 other men, rather than returning it to the poor he piflered it from.
These days if there are members who survive the gauntlet of inter-member fraud, they hear sales pitches for $300 wicker baskets from STAKE PRESIDENTS, who's wives are part of the MLM arm, at mandatory saturday bishopric "training sessions". I am prepared to name names, mormons, don't bother denying it.
Longaberger baskets=mormons too.
Yep...You guessed it.
Ahhhh.... A prize. :-D
Wow..I have learned so much from all of you. Makes me so sad for Mormons that follow this con man, Joseph Smith..it really does.
I've just spent about 30 minutes searching for this data. Couldn't find any.
Got a link?
From article...a typically mormon MLM sales pitch.:
""In my own way, I've kind of been the missionary for Longaberger," she said...."I don't think this was an accident," she said. "I don't think that Heavenly Father lets opportunities like this just happen."
Maybe the sales pitch I heard was a little coordinated payback for good press in the Longaberger quarterly magazine...Along with MLM propfits for the Stake President's wife, of course.
I love how this guy is selling cranberry juice through a pharmacy like medical supplier as if the product is something to be prescribed. Next time I see Dr. Tim I will ask him if I can get him to write me a prescription.
