Flirty Fishing

Okay, this is really funny. Apparently there was this cult in the 70s/80s called "The Family", and they believed in evangelization through "spreading Jesus's love" in a very literal sense known as "Flirty Fishing". Basically, female members of the cult were encouraged to sleep with strangers as a form of witnessing. They were also told to ask for contributions to the cult afterward. Basically passing the collection basket around, I guess. Cult leaders eventually busted for running a prostitution ring (shocking!).

Found a website devoted to exposing them or something like that, and it includes this hilarious little pamphlet about "flesh fathers" and "real fathers" to help explain to the "Jesus Babies" why none of them had daddies who were around. It's amazing how stupid some people can be.
