Guest guest Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 Howdy Tracy, Ugh. Okay, I have an old friend that I haven't talked to in a while. She > knows I enjoy aromatherapy, etc. Well, she saw my daughter Meghan in the > store the other day and told her that her daughter was now selling really > nice, highest quality eo's, etc. So I have a message from her on my > answering machine this morning all excited telling me that she and her > daughter would like to talk to me about these wonderful Young Living oils > they are selling now and asked me to call her back. > I believe that she will not be excited for very long. Odds are slim that she will make any profit .. I expect that the price she paid for whatever they give down line folks to get them started will not be covered by her future profits .. and she might lose a few friends too. So here's the deal, I need some suggestions for what I can say to her to > let her know I am not at all interested in the YL oils without saying it in > a way that will alienate them or make them angry. I am very good at being > entirely too blunt and tactless, so I need help with this. Any advice? > I might be more useful if you asked me for a way to deal with an alcoholic, or a crack user or a wife abuser. ;-) There is no way to gently OUT the YL scheme. You can start by letting her read some of the links on YL and ask her to make her own decisions .. and advise her to avoid chewing tobacco in church, avoid driving while drunk, and avoid picking on beady eyed fellers with a name like Spike, who have a narrow forehead and who are carrying a straight razor .. and .. avoid trying to push Young Living products on any credible News Group. ;-) Below is a part of a reply a YL groupie sent to Kathleen Petrides .. Kathleen posted it on either this group or another group. " It's okay that you think what you think. God gave us all choices, you've obviously chosen to serve the spirit of this world, a.k.a. Satan. Just for your information YLEO and it's members are serving God and providing his medicine (Ezekiel 47:12; Exodus 30:22-29), so when you make negative statements about the family of YLEO, you are speaking ill of God's children. I hope your comfortable with that, and if not, you might want to repent and dive into the Word of God, it's the only place you can find true wisdom. " So .. this will either tell her that many YL followers are religious fanatics .. or nuts .. who are following a phony guru similar to Reverend Jim Jones .. or that she is serving God if she sells YL products. But then, if this is the case then God will probably become upset when she doesn't do so well peddling their average products with extremely high prices that are promoted via totally unsafe recommendations. You can also start her out with these links: http://www.healthwatcher.net/Quackerywatch/Young-Oils/totalhealth2004.html http://www.aromaticsage.com/GYRDT.html http://www.woobeyworld.com/AA-4.htm http://www.aromaticsage.com/bsb.htm http://www.aromaticsage.com/bs.htm http://www.wingedseed.com/RDT/RDTFinalDraft%2012-14-01.htm http://www.quackwatch.org/11Ind/young.html http://skepdic.com/mlm.html http://www.mlm-thetruth.com/ http://theguidetoaromatherapy.com/ylfiles.html .. hey Graham, I tried to pull this up but its not coming on line now????? If Graham or Kathleen or some other folks I know of are on line now .. I believe they will provide some additional information. Thanks, > Tracy > Welcome you are for sure. Good luck .. y'all have a good one .. and keep smiling. :-) Butch .. http://www.AV-AT.com <http://www.av-at.com/> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
