    ....Agreed. Some of the meetings were really RaRaUpSchool and not providing enough solid information......

    This is an about face.

    When working as a UW rep, Nigewick and his colleagues got upset when links were posted to videos of uw reps meetings showing their cult/rara etc behaviour, and demanded they be removed as they were "copyright" (even though they were plastered all over the net).

    Remember Big Al etc?

    Here's an example of the cult in operation.

    They show off to their members a tearful uw rep "shareing" how uw is her and her husband's guardian angel, and saviour as her daughter is seriously ill, but thanks to uw they will have a roof over their heads when she goes for surgery????? The MC sees this as "fantastic"!

    Unfortunately, this is where you fall down. For those people, UW has provided security in a very difficult situation. Very poor form on your part to turn a positive story where someone's life has been changed for the better and turn it into something sinister. Shame on you.

    My personal point of view is that we vote because we think it is excellent service.

    Many reps come here to tell us this. Surprise surprise.

    But the truth is you were all told to vote!

    And uw reps tend to say anything to get sales.

    Here's Jimmy telling us to buy uw energy if we want to save money as it's the cheapest of all the major companies. Just lies.

    As I said (another comment you ignore in favour of attacks), I don't recall being told to vote. Personally, I didn't vote. Never do. Why do you keep posting videos from years ago as if it backs up your point in some way. If you would like to engage in debate, then do so. But "you are wrong and you are all liars" is not a valid debating point.

    I haven't accused you all of being liars.

    But UW reps put videos on the net in which they happily lie!

    The video from the cult conference is from this year.

    That video showing the uw rep lying about your energy being the cheapest and undercutting all the other suppliers is recent (from last month), so why make up these are "years" old!

    (But if you do watch the videos from years ago, you'll see the tactics don't change.)

    Sadly, it is impossible for an organisation with our distribution channel to monitor every media to ensure these type if things don't get put out there. "Jimmy" makes a lot of incorrect assertions and I will arrange to have that video removed due to it's misleading nature. Not necessarily lying, more that he is misinformed and explains things poorly. Don't confuse enthusiasm with deceit.

    No doubt the enthusiastic Jimmy will continue to sell uw to his friends and family using the same tactics, and you don't expect your enthusuastic friend/brother in law/relative uw rep to mislead you.

    The benefits are real, regardless of how they are portrayed. He may have a few facts wrong, but if people sign and benefit regardless, is it still a bad thing?
