Multi level Marketing (MLM) has become quite popular. However,
there is a new trend to use the "Bible" or "Christianity"
to falsely promote it. Some may be ok,
but be careful on deciding on a product claiming that somehow it is endorsed by
"God".
Lie #5: MLM is a spiritual movement.
Truth: The use of spiritual concepts like prosperity
consciousness and creative visualization to promote MLM enrolment, the use of
words like 'communion' to describe a sales organization, and claims that MLM is
a fulfilment of Christian principles or Scriptural prophecies are great
distortions of these spiritual practices. Those who focus their hopes and
dreams upon wealth as the answer to their prayers lose sight of genuine
spirituality as taught by all the great religions and faiths of humankind. The
misuse of these spiritual principles should be a signal that the investment
opportunity is deceptive. When a product is wrapped in the flag or in religion,
buyer beware! The 'community' and 'support' offered by MLM organizations to new
recruits are based entirely upon their purchases. If the purchases and enrolment
decline, so does the 'communion.'" - For more see http://www.mlmwatch.org/01General/10lies.html

if you misuse his name.” - Exodus
