Lately it seems like more and more are looking outside the org for mates.
Yea - 'cause there's none worth having IN the org. Think about it.....they aren't encouraged to go to college, don't think "outside their box" at all, and if you're not married by 19 you're an old maid. So if you're 21, have a mind, and want to succeed in life.....there is no hope of finding a decent mate inside the org.
Oh yea......and they can't give oral sx
.............so I married a wordly guy .
Really though - I had slept with hubby before we were married , but the elders told me if I broke up with him they would not DF me. I refused, so they DF'd me. I've been with hubby 14 years now and I think it was a good trade!
Beans - it might depend on the elders and the congregation as to how strong they will punish someone for dating outside the org.
