Things sure have changed since I was a JW. Back in the 50's I could date whoever I chose, even though I was only 16 years old, and my dad was the PO of the congregation. I usually dated JWs but many times dated worldly girls. I took one to the senior prom. I also played basket ball on the team and my dad would sometimes come to the games. My best friend was a worldly guy and we would go out several times a week to a movie or play pool or whatever we found to be a fun night. I attended all the meetings and did the service though. My dad and mom were very loving people and and knew how to win me over to the "truth". I later married a JW and became the PO myself.
