Not necessarily true. A lot of cults demand that you hand over your hard-earned money and people don't seem to mind when they see their beloved leaders driving around in Ferraris, living in mansions and wearing Rolex watches.thedoc wrote:Convince him that he can get a lot of money if he does so.Harbal wrote:Things have changed a lot in the last 2000 years, what would you say is the best way to get a man to follow you in 2017?Question: "What does it mean to be 'fishers of men'?"
Answer: The phrase “fishers of men” was spoken by Jesus when He was calling two of His disciples, Simon Peter and Andrew, to follow Him. “As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. ‘Come, follow me,’ Jesus said, ‘and I will make you fishers of men.’ At once they left their nets and followed him” (Mark 1:16–18; see also Matthew 4:19).

We're not talking about cults, but about TV evangelists, who rake in a lot of money for nothing.vegetariantaxidermy wrote:Not necessarily true.

Kidnap his wife and kids (for most men, although obviously some would feel this was a blessing).Harbal wrote:Things have changed a lot in the last 2000 years, what would you say is the best way to get a man to follow you in 2017?Question: "What does it mean to be 'fishers of men'?"

No, they aren't, what are you babbling about. And TV evangelists were what I was talking about, get with the program.vegetariantaxidermy wrote:Where were they mentioned?

You did not mention TV evangelists. And how do they convince people that they will make money by following them?thedoc wrote:No, they aren't, what are you babbling about.

They are all cults. Or are you saying yours is the 'sensible' one?

An older man bought a new Corvette, driving it off the lot he decided to see what it would do. Soon he was doing 80 MPH, and then he saw the red lights flashing behind him, he decided to outrun the cop and was soon doing 120. At that time he thought "I'm too old for this kind on thing," and he slowed down, pulled over and stopped. The officer walked up and said, "It's Friday evening, I'm close to the end of my shift, can you give me a good reason for speeding?" The gentleman thought for a moment and said, "I'm separated from my wife, a few years ago she ran off with a policeman, I thought you were bringing her back." The officer said, "Have a nice day." and left.

For the record I usually enjoyed Tom Cruise's screen presence. A few quality roles.
