My daughter, 17, has for two weeks now, been dating an 18 yo unbaptized J-Dubba-boy.
When he came to pick her up for their first date, I was suprised when he respectfully came into the house of a known DF'd brother, instead of waiting outside and honking the horn to avoid contact with me. He walked right in, shook my hand and asked how I was doing.
He sat on the sofa and we chatted. I asked him if he was aware that I was df'd. He said he did, and that it was not a big deal to him since we did not have that much contact. I asked him if he was baptized. He said no. I asked him if he had plans for baptism. he said he did not know. Hmm . . . anyway . . . I outlined a couple rules for dating my daughter, one of which was absolutely no pressure to serve the org. I explained that I had no intention of ever returning to the org, and I also told him I would soon be known here locally as an apostate and that if he were going to be coming around he should know that upfront. He looked incredulous. I did not seem to look like an evil apostate to him and he hardly reacted at all.
Well, tonight, he came over for dinner. We had great conversation and some great laughs. We rented DVD's (Gothica) and ate my wife's peach cobbler and ice cream. He stayed until 10:30, politely got up, shook my hand and thanked me for a fun evening. I said that he was welcome and welcome here anytime . . .
Feedback please . . .
