Flirty Fishing (FFing) was a form of religious prostitution practiced by the Children of God/The Family cult from 1974 until it was officially discontinued in 1987 (due, in part, to the AIDS scare). Its etymology can be traced to Matthew 4:19 where Jesus says "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men."
Flirty Fishing was a subset of The Family's love bombing activities and involved the use of sexual attraction and intercourse to win converts and favors. Female members were told to be "God's whores" and "hookers for Jesus", and soon after its launch as a method of witnessing, sex was given to complete strangers in combination with a request for a "donation", or for a required fee in line with Escort Servicing (ESing) or freelance ESing. FFing and prostitution was widely used as a way to raise money for the cult and resulted in many of the second generation births (known as "Jesus Babies").
ACCORDING TO BBC WE SOUND LIKE CSS, TING TINGS AND FANGS......DO WE ACTUALLY? OR IS IT BECAUSE WE, LIKE THE FOR MENTIONED HAVE A FEMALE SINGER, GOOD ONE.
FF'ers are only in it for the money and fame. Maybe one day they will be able to hang around with peaches geldof and have enough money to OD in some trendy London night club. FF'ers will do anything to achieve this. If a major label suggests they should tap into some new current fad such as nu-rave, shit-gaze or simply become a bubblegum pop act, FF'ers will be more than happy to comply. FF'ers will become a cog in the machine and are quite happy about this. FF'ers will find themselves taking part in th destruction and trivialisation of music through consumer culture, HIP HIP HOORAY. FF'ers will drown in their own ego's and go back to their shitty nine to five jobs. FF'ers are inconsequential, and will become boring like everything else.
ok there was a major rumour that you guys were the Foo Fighters at Leeds Festival so I went to check you out... some guy came on stage and said ''are you ready for the foo fighters?'' got the crowd goin and cheering. then when you guys came on stage and announced you were just the F F'ers that got the crowd going and leaving lol
Hi, yeah i did see Henry Rollins at Leeds, it was the best thing I ever saw.
The fact that you appreciate Black Flag/Rollins, which obviously shows you have an excellent taste in music makes me feel a bit ashamed that I bottled you, then walked off...
Thanks for getting my hopes up about nothing guys You are NOT better than the Foo Fighters, certainly not something you should go around proclaiming if you can't prove it
its pretty harsh getting bottled for your name, but at least you got the attention i supoose? :) hopefully ill get to see you guys live some point. heads up if you play liverpool or near? x
Thanks for the add - You guys have a great sound! I especially enjoy 'Repeater'.
It's crappy about what happened at Reading though. I mean, if those stupid people took 5 minutes to check this band out when they saw the name, they would have noticed you are different from Foo Fighters. ;)
well loqui to be quite fair, they didnt deny it did they? plus the foos were scheduled to play reading last year but didnt perform for some reason and they did a secret gig under the name 606. so, FF'ers, Foo Fighters.. similar much? idiot -.- eurgh
..Whether that was a contrive stunt, or a genuinly misfortunate mass misunderstading. it fucking worked.
i applaud you guys for staying out there. the thought did did go through my mind to bottle the stupid people bottling you guys. but unfortunatly i wasnt armed.
but yeah, you guys were better than alot of teh tripe on that stage. good going.
I've gotta know.. did you lot start the rumour about foos? cos if u did fucking good work! there must of been about 10000000 people crowded round the tiny stage haha!
Hey guys, ignore all the haters! we thought you did well, alot better then that "Underground wank" or whatever they're called. At least you played more then 1 song. Well done and we hope to see you again. All the best B.T. E
well that was a fun day.. you really should have cleared things up -.- if you did im sure you wouldnt have got bottled that much.. well, as much anyway. even though the guy with the afro was pretty cool.. well i guess thats what you get for pretending to be the Foos.. lots of angry foo fans with cups of piss and beer.. basically.
