Good afternoon, all.

I thought I would start up a topic that really hasn't been discussed on this board but was discouraged, if not out-right prohibited, by Faith Assembly.

I know that several passing comments have been made on this board about dating (including by me), and the comments have been labeled as un-Christlike. I'm not sure if my comment was misunderstood to be offensive, or if it was the fact that I spoke of dating that made it questionable.

As a young boy and a teenager at FA, I was not of an age that dating mattered. However, my sister was in high school and beyond at FA, and her inability to socialize with any males put her at a serious disadvantage. When she finally got married (to a guy from an ex-FA family), she ended up marrying a loser who ran of with some harlot from his work.

At any rate, I would be interested in hearing the thoughts of some of my younger brothers and sisters as to how this ban affected your future relationships. In addition, I would be interested in hearing from some of you older folks (yes, I mean you, Moulder and Hombre Very Happy

) and what your thoughts were at the time and what they are today.

Have a blessed day!
Duncan
