Sheep

A term taken from the parables of Jesus in the Bible. Sheep are people who supposedly want to hear the Word of God, or The Family's message. Also used in the adjective form "sheepy".

Usage: "That person is such a sheep!"

Metaphoric use of "sheep" in The Family was pervasive and sheepish qualities were idealized.
