To provide an appropriate answer, could you clarify whom you mean by "them"? In Jainism, the emphasis is on following the teachings of the Tirthankaras, scriptures (Agamas), and the guidance of true spiritual teachers. If "them" refers to those who guide one towards right conduct (Samyak Charitra), right knowledge (Samyak Jnana), and right faith (Samyak Darshan), then following them is considered correct.

However, if "them" refers to individuals or influences that lead one away from the path of non-violence (ahimsa), truth (satya), non-possessiveness (aparigraha), and other core Jain principles, then Jain teachings advise caution and discourage following such paths.

If you clarify who "them" refers to, I can provide a more specific answer based on Jain principles.
