Rasheed-
Sad…truly sad on the Orrin sticker. Were they holding hands and bowing around their car too? You didn’t happen to see a case of juice on the hood of the car too did you? Yeah…I wouldn’t be surprised one bit if there was with an “inspirational” cd playing while praying. It’s kind of funny you mention that though Rasheed because I saw the same thing at a seminar once…and even though being in at the time, I had to tell myself that this was over the edge on the decal. We actually still have a book called the “Dream Giver”…to be honest I would love to read it just so I could get a good laugh.

Now that I think about it, I wonder how much that sticker cost them?

I wish I were joking. It’s fine to have role models, but I’ve never seen a “what would Micheal Jordan do” or even “What would Muhammad do” (and I’m Muslim!). I MIGHT understand a “what would Barack do” but honestly, a WWOD is a bit ridiculous. At least Obama has done something to change the world for the better. Orrin? Not so much.

WWOD!?

If there are actually people using that to make life decisions I fear for our species.

Same with Orrin Woodward. One of my mentors had a sticker that said “WWOD” (What would Orrin do) on his visor in his car. As if Orrin were the messiah.

Well, Orrin would ditch his first MLM company for another “Next Big Thing” so why not do that too!

If Dallin Larsen told the cult members that 1 + 1 = 3, they would no doubt believe it. In essence, it’s already happened.

I’m rather appalled at the responses.

I’ll just point out one funny thing Jeff said.

“For every â€˜expert’ with one opinion, there is another â€˜expert’ with the opposite opinion.”

Okay. So we have one expert mathematician that says 1+1 = 2. So do we also have another expert mathematician that says that 1+1 = 3?

Something tells me Mr. Jeff does not really know much about how science works.

Todd asks “PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY IT IS OK TO TELL SOMEONE THAT ANY OTHER PRODUCT WORKS FOR YOU, BUT IF MONAVIE HAS DONE SOMETHING FOR ME AND OTHERS THEN IT IS ILLEGAL.”

Here’s a good reason not to make entirely unfounded health claims concerning a product which is not proven, not approved and not intended to treat, cure or mitigate the symptoms of any disease or condition –

“Getting rid of these bogus products, from a company that was giving false information about health benefits to consumers, underscores the message from FDA to those who would mislead consumers about their health,” said FDA Commissioner Mark B. McClellan, M.D., Ph.D. “We will not tolerate companies that raise false hopes for preventing and treating illnesses, when there are more scientifically proven steps than ever before that consumers can take to improve their health.”

Todd further states “I WOULD BE A SORRY PERSON IF I DIDN’T TELL PEOPLE ABOUT A PRODUCT THAT MAY HELP THEM FEEL BETTER.”

You should be a sorry person – you’re attempting to exploit people’s circumstances by using entirely unfounded and illegal health claims in the hope of your own financial gain.

Todd, everyone has a right to the freedom of speech – but consumers also have the right to be protected from being defrauded by people such as yourself.

Yup! It’s right up there with vitamin-fortified Pop Tarts.

Todd. I was “on the product” for a year and a half and it did NOTHING for my health, or for the health of anyone else that I got “on it”. The reason that I am incensed is that I was told that it contained many more vitamins & nutrients than it did, and that I wouldn’t need to even EAT fruits and vegetables that I didn’t like anymore. This went for the children that I “got on the product” as well. Are you friggin’ kidding me? It is OK to lie to parents and potentially endanger children’s lives?? I don’t even blame my upline for that because they were given such convoluted, purposely vague information from the fake doctors involved with Monavie (see other posts for this…). Then, you Monabots take it to a whole other level with the claims that it cures many diseases.

As far as I am concerned you shouldn’t even be allowed to use the word “nutrition” and “Monavie” in the same sentence.

Todd shouted: â€œPLEASE EXPLAIN WHY IT IS OK TO TELL SOMEONE THAT ANY OTHER PRODUCT WORKS FOR YOU, BUT IF MONAVIE HAS DONE SOMETHING FOR ME AND OTHERS THEN IT IS ILLEGAL.â€

The answer is simple! Because the Food & Drug Act and the Code of Federal Regulations says so — it’s the law! That should be the end of the argument. If you don’t like the law, try to change it but until then, respect it. Personally, I’m extremely thankful that these regulations exist. I can just imagine the damage you Monavie clowns would inflict if these laws didn’t exist. And BTW, turn off your caps lock you bellowing clod.
