>>>This sounds like COGR “doctrine”.

Yes my view on this subject is close to the COGR view. How ever I don’t hold that this is the only way to go about things but I do think the elders need to be involved.

I don’t have any scriptures to directly support this position.

Do you have any Scripture to support this position? Why all back and forth between the minister if the unmarrieds have believing parents who can guide them? While I agree with you about "dating", I do not see where ministers were involved (spoken of in the Scriptures.) Instead I see PARENTS involved. (I could see an exception if there are no believing parents to be involved.) This sounds like COGR “doctrine”. Do you have any Scripture to support this position?

I was brought up with the dating game as a non christian. Now, as my husband and I have grown in the Lord through His word, we have adopted the "no dating" rule with our three daughters. Our oldest is 18 y.o. and has had many a boy ask her to date. She states she does not date, only court. Some come to us and we gently let them down that they are not equally yolked. The most recent fella was equally yolked, except for one matter, and we allowed him to court her. At first he wanted to go s l o w, then he began speeding up matter by wanting to hold her hand or arm around her shoulders while in public to "protect her". At first we said no, then relented some, and with that he took more. When I noticed his affections, I called my husband aside and we pulled him aside and stopped it 100%. Later we noticed his enjoyment of stressing her out with his arguments and showing signs of wanting total control over her. Tabitha, her daddy, and I aggreed to put an end to this match. She is happy again. Next time we will be more strict. Tabitha is concerned there is no man out there just for her, but I just keep telling her it is in God's hands and He will bring her the one in His perfect time. God Bless! PS: My website will hopefully be up next week. smile. I am taking a web design class in hopes to eventually be a stay-at-home mom again. Since Paul became disabled, I had to go to work.
