When I was still in the church (definitely not a TBM), my ex was very much by-the-rules guy, but I was VERY laid back and had a soft spot for those cutie patootie young mishies in my branch. OK, don't get the wrong idea...this was nothing immoral, I just felt sorry for them being so far from home, living this really weird life while in their prime. And some of them were soooo cute.
Anyway, bottom line, I would let them come over to our house and use my computer to get their email (this was over 10 years ago when email was forbidden), I let them listen to the radio or watch TV, and they would play basketball in my back yard. I always had non-caffeinated drinks for them, sometimes had cookies or brownies and I'm sure they felt the could relax at my house. I had no problem talking to them about their girlfriend(s) back home...they looked at me like a surrogate mom, I'm sure.
Did anybody else have a 'safe haven' for mishies?
