Very few Christians today follow the examples set by Jesus' disciples. Jesus often times demanded extreme levels of personal denunciation (loss of family, property, etc.; Matt. 4:18-22; 10:24-42; Luke 5:27-28; 1:25-27; 18:28-30). He asked for lifelong allegiance (Luke 9:57-62) as the essential means of doing the will of God. Christians today are best described only as followers of Christ Jesus.

Why did Jesus call the disciples?Jesus called the disciples because He wanted followers. The disciples (Jesus' followers) set an example for people back in Biblical times. The disciples were very helpful (most of them anyways.)
Jesus was an observant Jew. There were several sects of Judaism as there are today. He disagreed with some of the practices of his time and set about "improving" the overall tenets. Casting out the moneylenders was only one example. His disciples "founded" the sect we know today as Christianity.
Christians believe he set an example of how people should act.

They set an example of religious tolerance that had never been followed elsewhere in Europe since the time of Constantine, and which is rare in the world even today. Without the restrictions of religious bigotry, science and learning flourished.

Burning Rome. Some historians believe that he set the fire himself so he could take the land for his palace and lake. Where the Colosseum sits today was his lake. The fire was so hot it melted marble and there is a set of steps you can see today that show that in Rome.
AnswerThe only time I have encountered that term is a derogatory label applied to Christianity and some of the often questionable things Christians have done over the years.If it does exist, I would bet that it is in the same spirit as the Discordians (disciples of Eris), Pastafarians (disciples of the Flying Spaghetti Monster), Church of the Sub-Genius (Disciples of Bob) and other satirical "churches".Sheepology is a spoof online church set up by a whimsical group of 'social' networkers.

Well, the identifying of true Christians is love. Jesus said this at John 13:34,35. "By this all will know that you are my disciples if you have love among yourselves." So, a true Christian organization would have to show love among themselves. One way they would do this would be to not take up swords or go to war against one another. (Or anyone for that matter.) Jesus set the example in this when he said at Matthew 26:52 ..."those who take the sword will perish by the sword."
Among the twelve disciples the two sets of brothers are: Peter and Andrew, sons of Jonas and James and John, sons of Zebedee.
