Why does it seem like a cult to me?
Am I being paranoid?
Because in order to get people to sign up to a pyramid scheme, you have to get them to suspend disbelief and believe in the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. You therefore get people who KNOW for sure their financial expectations will come true, and who have been specifically taught to ignore evidence to the contrary.
I would say it very much is a corporate cult, because it uses some cult-like brainwashing techniques to get people to chase a dream whose main outcome is that Amway gets a team of salesmen for free.
