  Southern California Lindy Society - Notes For Followers
Following is the more passive role in dancing, but that doesn't mean that it's not difficult, and that it doesn't take skill and work.
All the followers will agree who the masters are (eveyone finds them easy to dance with), but sometimes you just don't connect right with a particular lead and that's OK (think of it as an accent you're having trouble understanding).
However, followers do have a certain amount of control of where precisely they are going, how in control their motions are, etc. Use that contol to the extent that you have it.

 Disciple - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A disciple (from the Latin discipulus, a pupil) is one who receives instruction from another; a scholar; a learner; especially, a follower who has learned to believe in the truth of the doctrine of his teacher, and implies that the pupil is under the discipline of, and "understands", his teacher; an adherent in doctrine.
The twelve apostles call a gathering of their own disciples in Acts 6:1-7; there, they had a "multitude" of disciples.
In many versions of Christian theology, discipleship is used to refer to the decision to become a committed follower of the teachings of Jesus.

 Introduction | The Balance of Leadership & Followership Working Papers
But this may not be easy to accept or convey to followers unless the leader shares the situation, and they can all be learners in feeling their way along.
Following this broad overview are two papers that explore some of the challenges inherent in the leader­-follower relationship in today's changing organizational contexts.
Especially noteworthy are the barriers to follower empowerment identified in the behavior of leaders that must be overcome.

 How and Why Active Followers Matter in Leadership by Edwin P. Hollander
One explanation is to view this as a social exchange in which the group gives the leader a "reward" in advance, by electing him or her, and then group members feel a claim on him or her to "pay back" by producing favorable outcomes (Jacobs, 1970).
Since followers are the ones who experience the actuality of a leader's mode of action, and are uniquely able to evaluate it and its effects, this research approach gets us closer to the reality of leader-follower relations in quite specific ways (see Hollander, 1995).
This cycle is one way of considering the process of ascent and decline of a leader in the eyes of followers, and the consequences to their relationship.

 The Followers   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The symbol was treated as a sort of demi-god, the Follower, apparently representing ancestral kings of the distant past.
A papyrus of the Roman Period mentions "The Souls of Pe, Followers of Horus as Kings from Lower Egypt", and "The Souls of Nekhen, Followers of Horus as Kings from Upper Egypt".
Mafdet was believed to protect the god Ra from serpents, and it is perhaps this association that led, in later dynasties, to the Followers appearing in the solar boat with Ra as he made his nightly journey through the Underworld.

 Boston.com / News / World / Cleric followers battle US troops
BAGHDAD - Followers of firebrand cleric Moqtada al-Sadr launched a coordinated uprising against US-led occupation forces yesterday, killing one American soldier in a gun battle near the holy city of Najaf and at least seven other US soldiers in clashes in Sadr City, the Shi'ite Muslim stronghold on the outskirts of Iraq's capital.
The younger, more radical cleric galvanized his poor, urban followers last week after occupation authorities shut down his newspaper, accusing it of inciting violence, and then detained a cleric close to him, Mustafa Yacoubi, on Saturday.
Sadr vowed to hold a sit-in at his mosque in Kufa and urged followers to gather at their neighborhood mosques and offices.

Thus, new followers with a front anti-tilt leg were created, which used green plastic to make them easy to identify, and were shipped with new Sanchez mags starting in 1988 for field trials.
Because the spring connected to the follower in almost the center, it was easy to put the follower back on the spring backwards.
I did notice the followers that came with these mags were identical in shape to the green ones I put in as replacement.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Christianity   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
In the following article an account is given of Christianity as a religion, describing its origin, its relation to other religions, its essential nature and chief characteristics, but not dealing with its doctrines in detail nor its history as a visible organization.
What immediately preceded its institution, as it was born in Judaism, concerns the Jewish race alone, and is comprised in the teaching and miracles of Christ, His death and resurrection, and the mission of the Holy Spirit.
This universal charity He designed to be the mark of His true followers (John 13:45), and in it, therefore, we must see the genuine Christian spirit, so distinct from everything that had hitherto been seen on earth that the precept which inspired it He called "new" (John 13:34).

 Catholic Culture : Document Library : The Excommunication of Followers of Archbishop Lefebvre
Reference is also made to the decision of the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith, dated 28th June 1993, that the excommunication imposed on followers of Archbishop Lefebvre on 1st May 1991 by Bishop Ferraio of Hawaii was invalid since there had been no schismatic acts in the strict sense.
Murray's first line of argument appears to be that the lay followers of Society of St Pius X do not incur the excommunication, because only an external violation of a law or precept can be subject to a canonical penalty (art.cit.
The most obvious sign of this is to attend solely and exclusively those celebrations conducted by followers of Archbishop Lefebvre, and eschewing those of the mainstream Church, not only local Bishop and clergy, but, for example, those legitimately using the 1962 liturgical books, such as the Fraternity of St Peter.

 When Leaders Become Followers
The words “leader” and “follower” are conspicuous by their absence in my definition.
Followers or constituents are central to the process of leadership, and the trend toward empowerment will continue and intensify.
Followers' perceptions of effectiveness bear on the leader's credibility, the followers' willingness to follow, and the leader's ability to lead.

 Encyclopedia Coptica: The Christian Coptic Orthodox Church Of Egypt   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
For the four centuries that followed the Arab's conquest of Egypt, the Coptic Church generally flourished and Egypt remained basically Christian.
This long-held position of the Church concerning the separation between State and Religion stems from the words of the Lord Jesus Christ himself, when he asked his followers to submit to their rulers: ``Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.'' [Mathew 22:21].
It starts with a pre-Lent fast of one week, followed by a 40-day fast commemorating Christ's fasting on the mountain, followed by the Holy week, the most sacred week (called Pascha) of the Coptic Calendar, which climaxes with the Crucifix on Good Friday and ends with the joyous Easter.

The Babil operation followed last week's move to oust insurgent forces from Samarra, about 60 miles north of Baghdad.
But he said al-Sadr's followers rejected the proposal because it did not include a halt to arrests, the release of prisoners or an end to house raids.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) — A prominent Islamic scholar was convicted Tuesday of 10 counts alleging he encouraged followers in the days after the Sept. 11 attacks to join the Taliban and fight the United States.
Prosecutors have said al-Timimi, a U.S. citizen born in Washington, was a respected scholar who enjoyed "rock star" status among his followers and that he used that influence to guide them into holy war against the United States.
Al-Timimi's lawyers have said he only counseled young Muslims after Sept. 11 that they might be wise to leave the United States because it would become difficult to practice their faith in this country.
