I did court as a JW and used chaperones.........most of the time.
There were many times I would pick my ex up on my way to the KH alone so we could go in field service, since she had no driver's license. Most of the elders didn't care about this, but there was one that yanked me into the backroom one day to tell me how dangerous it was for me to do such a thing. Sometimes, we went to stores alone, but that was when it had gotten to the point where I just didn't care about getting caught anymore
We pretty much used anyone as a chaperone just to say we weren't alone. We even used children, more than one though.
In short, it was hell. There was always this tension while courting to watch your back at all times to make sure you don't "stumble" anyone. I'm SO glad to be out of that now.
