Meet Your Friendly Neighborhood Christian DOMINIONIST

![]() ![]() ![]() I had heard about far right wing rascist Christian Churches decades ago but- it wasn't until about 5-6 years ago that one of the often more intense progressive raddio show talkers (who I grew to respect when suddenly replaced another talker) Mike Malloy started talking about Christian Dominionists. How we should learn more about them. Well, what Mr Fuqua is saying here is one of the first things I saw on one of their websites was this very subject. Stuff like this often leaves me either speechless or screaming! So I try not to be around it too much. may not aree but bthis is an active idea in their communities. |

Uhhhhhhhhhhhh...wow.
Gee, I wonder if this guy also happens to be pro-life ![]() It'd be one thing if it was just some random nutjob saying this stuff on a site or whatever. It'd be no less disturbing, of course, but there's wackos of all kinds out there, unfortunately, he'd be nothing new. But he's actually a candidate for the state's House of Representatives? That's so comforting ![]() |

ok.... i did...
besides the fact that there might be differing opinions about whether Amway... ....is a legal MLM (multi-level marketing) compamy OR a Pyramid Scheme.... Anyway, wow, I haven't heard the name Amay in quite a long time. So, turns out.....it's a right wing christian leaning company, who along with learning to sell the products they sell in the MLM/?Pyramid way also indoctrinates their new vmembers with RWC POV. Amway stands for "American Way". well, didn't know any of this oh...happy day ![]() |

Amway is legit. Yes they run a pyramid scheme but come on these guys are wealthier than Donald Trump. That is how it started back in their garage and how one branch still operates but they are way way beyond that now. I do not personally agree with most of their political and many of their religious views but they have a pretty impressive record of philanthropy. I have personally benefited from this my entire life, given where I grew up, went to school, and being in the same "circle" (even related to people who are related to...). You cannot drive 5 miles here and not pass something they paid for. Of all the shit going down right now I would hardly consider Amway a threat. I don't know what "RWC" is, dazzled; Amway is definitely CRC as far as religion/Christianity, always have been.

I'm coming from a place of total ignorance on my part about Amway other than knowing that they've sold stuff! K McC suggested googling it and i did. Had no idea they were a (in my term RWC= ) RightWing Christian group. I didn't even know they were still around, let alone how rich they might be! I don't consider them a threat per se .... just not thrilled to hear of yet another Right Wing Christian Conservative group..... But you also may have never seen posts of mine (since for most of my time online here in Interland through the years- I haven't had a lot of access, or time to post anywhere but my usual hang-outs and at times not even there either) where i state that I equally don't like Fundalmentalist Religious groups of any religion, including my own (former) Catholism. Glad they have helped you out. |

Well hang on a second, if Amway are in fact a pyramid scheme... they are by definition not legit.

As far as I know multi-level marketing is not illegal.... Cutco Knives, Mary Kay, Lia Sophia, Pure Romance, Scentsy, Tastefully Simple, Pampered Chef....they're all over the place (I personally have never bought or sold any of it).

I was in Amway (or Quixtar as it was known at the time) for two years from 2000 to 2002. I don't have the hate for it in hindsight that many former "IBO"s ("Independent Business Owners" more commonly known as distributors) do. I just came to the conclusion that it wasn't right for me. The branch I was in was definitely hard right and very Christian conservative. And there is an element of motivational methods that does border on brainwashing I think, or at least manipulation.

Neither, CRC is an actual denomination of Christianity, not a label imposed by others. Amway/Alticorp founders were and still are CRC, but their own political campaigns are not a reflection of the denomination as a whole (I hope that goes without saying).
