There are two sides to every coin. Yes, LFI do have plenty of
extremely good presenters. They are so freaking passionate,
knowledgable & some of the are quite frankly extremely
charismatic. I personally know a few of them. So it is no wonder
that all people need is to come down once to be convinced, or in
your own words "brainwashed". In my opinion, only people with no
opinion of their owns or weak willed can be brainwashed. Birds of
the same feather flock together too.
The other side of the coin is this. Your friend came down. He / She
saw what the products are all about, what they can do, how they can
help people, how HUGE the market for these products is, & also
saw the potential of the MLM industry, the potential of the
company, etc. They saw AN opportunity. They grabbed it.
So which is the case? Do you dare to find out for ourself, no
strings attached?
Anyway, seriously, I think brainwashing is not a very nice word to
use, irregardless of the context. We follow our parents religion
without really understanding what are the teachings, is this
brainwashing? We usually accept close friend's suggestions, isn't
this also brainwashing? Especially when a friend makes a bad
recommendation & yet we do not "sever ties" or "get back at
them". We just let it go like water rolling off a duck's
back.
Cheers!!!
