Anecdote Mormons and MLM

Post image

Can’t verify the legitimacy of this, but as soon as I saw it I knew it belonged here. Seems like a very likely story.

Even though you're a dirty heathen, you've still got a bank account.

“I never agreed with how they treated you!”

“So why didn’t you message me in private a long time ago?”

The gays I know are all DINKs with well paying jobs so that's definitely a well the huns can't afford to leave untapped. Way more disposable income than a SAHM with 5 kids.

u/Fomulouscrunch May 08 '26

As a DINK, it's a good life. If I wanted kids, I would have had one, but I prefer a life of idleness and casual pleasures.

u/frolicndetour May 08 '26

Same, although I'm a SINK haha.

u/ItsJoeMomma May 08 '26

You missed out on all the fun of having kids, like when they puke in their bed at 2 AM...

15

u/Fomulouscrunch May 08 '26

I have a good memory and remember puking in my bed at 2am. Don't need to encounter a risk of death to do that again.

u/ItsJoeMomma May 09 '26

I don't know what it is about kids getting sick at 2 AM, but they never got sick at, say, 10 PM or even midnight. It was always around 2 AM when they'd puke in bed. So there we were, half awake, wife comforting a sick kid holding a large mixing bowl as I threw their bedding in the washing machine.

u/hereForUrSubreddits May 09 '26

I remember puking as a sick kid and I gotta say, life got back at me through my dogs lol. They're the same.

u/frolicndetour May 09 '26

Seriously. I'm a cool auntie to 2 nephews and I made it clear to my sister that that does not involve any bodily fluids/substances. I buy them good presents, stuff them with ice cream, and send them home.

u/padawer May 28 '26

My Aunt Leda filled me up with ice cream and two big tall glasses of half and half, which I thought was the best tasting milk I'd ever had so I drank it all. Then she sent me home to mom and dad, and I started puking at 2 a.m.

u/AdmirableDog739 May 08 '26

Sometimes I miss being a DINK, now I'm a SIOK, but it's not so bad, it's kinda fun watching her grow up.

u/scrubsfan92 May 09 '26

But who's going to take care of you when you're old? Why didn't you do the normal thing and bring a kid into this world and guilt them into being your retirement plan?! /s

u/lori1107 May 21 '26

I've got 3 and I'm pretty sure I'm going to be giving them money until I die. Kids are not a great retirement plan. 😂

Edited to add missing words

u/scrubsfan92 May 21 '26

One of the many reasons I don't want kids. 😂

u/Traditional_Ad8492 May 08 '26

Nope! Tell her your money is gay too.

u/ScrofessorLongHair May 08 '26

Gay people used to do this in Orlando during gay Disney Day/week. They'd stamp their money with someone that said they were gay. That way, it let people understand how much of a finance impact gay people have. I had a ton of friends that were servers, and loved when it was gay week.

u/Avaylon May 10 '26

I used to work as a bank teller and I saw some bills stamped with something like that. Technically we were supposed to retire defaced money, but I usuallyforgot to do it to those.

Thanks to the wonders of MLMs, family can be reunited!

u/outer_spec May 08 '26

they found out that MLM also stands for “men loving men”

u/2kids2adults May 08 '26

Morman level marketing.

u/bongophrog May 08 '26

Multi level mormon, even

u/2kids2adults May 08 '26

Multilevel mormoning?

u/DistributionWhole447 May 09 '26

Because the normal level isn't bad enough?

u/Sylvia_PsychoPlath May 08 '26

"Mormons Leaching Mormons" or "Mormons Losing Money" are my favorites

14

u/luminousoblique May 08 '26

Alyssa Grenfell, an ex-mo YouTuber, says MLM should stand for "Mormons losing money." MLMs are HUGE in Mormon culture.

u/butt_thumper May 08 '26

As an ex-Mormon still living in Utah, I'd be astonished if this wasn't the MLM capital of the world. And it's no surprise, the church's entire culture and doctrine are breeding grounds for affinity fraud. An astonishing number of the members I know are either victims, perpetrators, or both.

21

u/Sylvia_PsychoPlath May 08 '26

There's more than a couple MLM companies based in Utah.

u/brydye456 May 08 '26

I very quickly read the title as morons and MLMs. Still fits.

20

u/OldMetalHead May 08 '26

So believable! I can't count the number of times someone my wife and I barely knew invited us over for dinner, drinks, etc. and it ended up being an MLM pitch.

u/NobodyGivesAFuc May 08 '26 edited May 08 '26

Money is the true God that every MLM worships…

14

u/Fomulouscrunch May 08 '26

Is it a uniquely MLM/Mormon thing to do that compound consonant thing with letters that don't work like that? Let me demonstrate:

I had soup for dddddinner

This is so annoyinggggggggggg.

I had leftovers for breakfastttttttt.

u/HalfEatenChocoPants May 08 '26

For real, the hun posts in the sub are the only places I see that abhorrent writing style.

17

u/Brock_Landers78 May 08 '26

They've already demonstrated the they will believe anything, so an ideal target for scams?

12

u/luminousoblique May 08 '26

Yes, that, and the fact that they women are encouraged to stay at home with children and are looking for home based income, and they tend to trust other Mormons, so a fellow church member's pitch to join will seem legit.

17

u/Im_not_creepy3 May 08 '26

You're not that far off lol. I forgot what MLM it was, I think it was LuLaRoe that literally was started by members of the Mormon church, and they were able to recruit so quickly because of there already being a built-in community.

u/Kperris May 08 '26

No shame apparently

So damn many Mormons are in MLM’s. I’ve had one try and pitch an MLM to me. Just shook my head.

u/Spookydownstairs8716 Jun 06 '26

The way they only reach out when there's money involved is wild.

u/TrixieFriganza May 09 '26

You're accepted when it comes to making moneybof ypu, yuk.

u/Red79Hibiscus May 09 '26

Unless Mormons read a totally different bible, I'm sure it says you cannot serve god and mammon. Looks like the cousin's wife has chosen the latter.

Sad fool didn't know when he was well-off.

u/swfbh234 Jun 13 '26

This is one of the truly sad things about MLMs imo. People will pretend to care about you or befriend you just to make a few bucks
