Riding in the Backseat - A JW Rule?

  The JWs have some peculiar rules regarding doing things with the opposite sex. Truly, the most bizzare one has to be the one about if a "brother" is driving along and he sees a "sister" waiting for a bus and he offers her a ride, in most cases he will make her sit in the backseat. Even MORE likely, the "sister" will turn down the ride because it may "stumble" someone who may see them together.

  What other scenarios can you think of when it concerns two JWs of the opposite sex to which the WTBTS has rules for?

  I have had a brother direct me into the back seat before, but he went with me.

  Wow, B. Hadn't heard that one.
  
  So... she has to sit in the back seat, huh? Wow. You folks in Philly are messed up.
  
  Where I'm from, it'd be cool if she sat in the front. The tension would be kinda thick.. yeah... because we'd both be worried that somebody would see us and think the wrong thing. And then there was the displeasing Jehovah thing. And then there was the sexual thing... you know... actually being alone AND in the company of the opposite sex UNCHAPERONED. Felt so wicked and all.
  
  But yeah... wuddn't no sittin' in the back. I walked that edge more'n once.

  LOL @ Stacy... You need to get laid. And soon.

  teejay... Yo! That rule wasn't just in Philly, dawg! Additionally, they have a rule about pairing a bro/sis together ALONE in Field Service. PS... I got your message on my answer machine. I don't get home from work until 8:00ish. Tomorrow, I will be home all day. Just give me a 'rang'!

  You think? Well that's the best offer I've had today, thanks......

  You want to hear anal. I knew a dubbie couple that was engaged. When they couldn't get a chaperone they would drive two seperate cars to visit someone. These people were about 30 years old. They showed up at my parents house. I was maybe 16 at the time. I couldn't believe them and went outside to look for myself. Sure enough, two cars. When they left she drove away 10 minutes before him so it wouldn't look bad.

  Imagine belonging to a group that doesn't have an ounce of trust.

  I'm so grateful my parents never pushed me to get baptised early.

  LOL. In Jersey, not too far from Funchy, we really had no rule like that. It wasn't a common thing to do, but most of the sisters were ugly as hell, and so no-one with a half of a brain cell would complain about a geriatric carting around a really ugly chick in the front seat. LOL. Besides, a man in our halls knew better than to fool around with another Witty....the gossip mill is worse than a hair salon.

  Still, I did hear stories about parents making driving rules for their kids when they dated....and you know what? They may not have sat next to each other in the car, but I guess that's why the good lord made soft, fluffy beds for sex......

  I'm the only former JW who ever heard of riding in the back seat??? Hmm...Maybe it WAS just a Philly thing.

  Ok, what about visiting your married friend and the spouse isn't home yet? Would the opposite sex JW get invited in?

  PS... THIS would never happen at a JW gathering...

  My brother, who is 41, was dating a JW woman a year or so ago. The woman was older than he, too. My Mom had to go along to chaperone! I just started laughing when my brother told me he kissed the lady in the movie theatre and my Mom elbowed him. LOL!
