	Now don't be facetious;)) I guess that's what faith is - believing in something without question. I do believe that the "fakes" in this world draw in the lonely, vulnerable people who are looking for something in their lives. I don't think there is an answer to your question. Sue

Member Since: April 2008 Posts: 2,797 Send Message	Yes It might be cynical, but if you learn enough old testament verses and shout loud enough....peopl will follow you to the ends of the earth. Remember Jonesville....?

Member Since: June 2005 Posts: 4,716 Send Message	I rest my case. Eldrick, as far as we are concerned, we cannot tell if a prophet is true or false, but as I wrote earlier, I have seen it written that we will know when it is happening.

Member Since: April 2008 Posts: 2,797 Send Message	Yes we do. It's down to whether you would believe someone whos eyes are that close together.....

	Is it the personalities of these so-called prophets that draw in the vulnerable i.e. are these people charismatic? Or is it the words they speak? Sue

Member Since: March 2008 Posts: 1,258 Send Message	people are taken in very easily..and want something to "believe" in..we are vulenerable in our insecurities..The Jonesville scenerio..people wanted a "perfect heaven"..an Eden you might say..but they were taken in by a drunken philanderer..whom used and abused them

	I would say there was fair profit, in being a Prophet ? Roll up roll up, come and be saved for a small fee.
