re: Any advice on how to handle people trying to sell MLM , Vi/amway stuff

The answer is you can't and if you do try, you'll just drive a wedge between you and your family. Stats show that 99% of the people that invest in these scams lose lots of money, so basically you just need to be there for them when they fail. Sorry you're having to deal with this.

Thanks, and I think you make a great point, but he is driving the wedge because some of the family supports him, but I have tried showing him facts...but it's always the new one is "IT". I have to say these companies do teach "them" how to ignore facts and view any thing you say as "haters" , it gets pretty nasty when you challenge them. I spoke with one of his "sponsors" a few months ago and the guy just got loud and angry with me..
