"Flirty Fishing".

I've been reading this history of "The Children of God", the religion that grew up alongside the Jesus Freak movement in the late 60s/early70s under the authority of David Berg, known often as "Father David", "Dad", "Moses David", or "God's Endtime Prophet". Though originally strongly Bible-based and "no sex outside marriage", the group, which held all property in common, began to accept Berg's letters as Scripture and eventually had something like free love among its members. Around the time it innovated free love, too, it started up "flirty fishing", which is where women in the group would start up relationships (including sexual ones) with men outside the group to save them. This is a testimony from "Marsena, a European disciple," found on p. 115 of James D. Chancellor's Life in the Family: An Oral History of the Children of God:

Mostly I would go to the bar or lounge of a five-star hotel and meet men in that setting. This worked well for me...

One experience was really productive, as you say. I had met this Muslim from a place in the Middle East. I met him in the lounge of the hotel, had dinner with him a couple of times, and shared with him about the Lord in a general kind of way. We had become fairly close, but no sex. I think that is one major misconception about FFing. We made friends with a lot of people in our FFing, but we usually didn't have sex unless it was necessary for the witness. Anyway, he was scheduled to leave and go back home when I got a call from one of his associates. He was very ill in his hotel room, and this fellow asked me to come and see if I could help. I found him very sick, in no shape to get on a plane. So, I began to pray for him, and to soothe him and touch him. He became better very quick. Then I completely undressed and got in bed with him. We made love. And then I told him why. I loved him in Jesus and was loving him this way to show him how much Jesus loved him.

He was completely blown away. He prayed to receive Jesus in his heart right then. I gave him some lit, and he went on his way. But he came back, and I had several other times together with him. We would pray and study and have sex together. One day he invited me and several others to visit his home town. We went for a couple of weeks. We stayed with his family and got to know a lot of wonderful people there. They were all Muslims, and a few people were not all that happy we were sharing about Jesus. But this fellow was very influential, and he told about his miracle healing in the hotel room. That seemed really to impress them. We got to witness to many people in that town those few weeks. And many prayed to receive Jesus.

The older I get, the more I think you can learn more about people from their own words than what's been written about them. l also find it interesting that later on a lot of women from the Children of God got into "ESing" (i.e., working for an escort service) to be able to witness more efficiently.
