I don't know if their method of achieving success and happiness
is really that valid but their products are really good (I have
some stuff made by Amway).

They link a lot of their lifestyles to God and Country.
I don't know of any Pagan Amway distributors... hhhmmm...

That idea is either wierd or funny -- but I don't know why!
