Very funny...... my gf thinks i am a catholic but in fact I am an apostate (I rejected baptism!).... now I am perhaps not totally having a sound mind as some contributors know from my other postings but this is really going too far. Are you ready to wear the burqa?????Originally Posted by CLAMABAZ
RUN AWAY....
Religion..converting...maybe I'm one of the Professional Atheists on here...I do belive in God..A supreme form of conciousness...but not this stuff that we all seem to want to ram down everybody else's throat...Its a pity we cannot ask the millions of good people who have been sacrificed in the name of any religion how they feel about it all now...Rant over...back to being a nice guy now..hehehe.. Good luck to you my friend..hope it all pans out ok for you and the good lady..
have not got much to say on the religion fronti am c of e and the wife is a serious catholic
i go to church with her sometimes
we was married by a pastor protestent in the philippines neither of us are converting to anything
we was married by a pastor protestent in the philippines neither of us are converting to anything, cannot wed until converted. we got married by a friend of the mother in-law who is a judge, all she was bothered about was the food and never mentioned religion
I can only thank you for all the help. It seems I have a lot of discussing to do over the next few days. I know about supporting the family and we have discussed this at length and it is not a problem. The religion thing is going to be make or break I think. I must admit I am not thrilled about converting. The nearest INC is about 200 miles away so attending there for 13 weeks is a non starter. I would be ruined by the time I was at week 8. I will approach the religion question first and take it from there. I will keep you posted.
Thanks again.

Have you been over and metthe lady george?How long have you known her?
Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.
It might not seem a problem now, but the nature of the support is that the family will generally expect to get whatever they ask for and will ask for more and more as time goes by, as well as for "emergencies" which can run into ŁK's if you don't put your foot down.
You should inform your intended about this, if she so serious about her religion, she might want you to move to a city where there is an INC church......... or she might even expect you to make a 400 mile round trip every Sunday so you can both attend.

If they survived without you they will survive without your money. The best proen method is to send the family 'random bonus' goods and money. That way they appreciate it more, and do not come to live off it, whch causes laziness in the family, and then if something happens to you, or the money, they are in worse position than they are now!
Sounds like she is marrying you to feed her family and get her sis in the UK.

The changing religion and Sister coming over hmm.
Firstly have you met in person? I think it goes without saying no commitments should be made before then
If the Sister is a Nurse she can see if she has the skills to come over herself. Some of the Wifes friends have already come to the UK as Careworkers/nurses and all are under 25. Any educating will be far cheaper in Phill than in the UK.
To have two adults move over would cost you a fortune as well as the social and possibly issues with your marriage in the early stages.
With the present climate its very unlikely to recently arrived to the UK people will stroll into Jobs also to be mentally able to seems to take 3-6 months for most of the ladies on here and that was when things were easier shall we say.
I know my Wife found it tough being here on her own at first but she was lucky enough to be able to contact family and friends, she also made friends both those originally from phill and from all over the world. I think the speaking to non phills helped her already decent English language skills to the point she is now thought of as a Brit born pinay but many!!
Would your Mahal and her sister end up rarely speaking English unless they have to?
Oh lord why did you make so many clothes and shoe shops
I have never seen two or more Filipinas chatting away in English, they always revert to their own language whenever they get a chance.
If your new wife and sister both came here at the same time, I think it would really slow down her integration into UK society as far as speaking and understanding English is concerned because she would probably be speaking in her own Filipino dialect for about 50% of the time.

Changing religion and sisters coming over?????????sounds demanding for me
