Marrying a Filipina

[IainBusby]

And attendance is most....u need to attend the service 2 times a week SUNDAY and WEDNESDAY i think....

Worse and even Worse !!! You know what's coming next..... CIRCUMCISION Well why not, it seems like she thinks she's already got him castrated.

Hi George,
with regard to this particular church, I believe they also insist on the tithe or weekly donations are something like 20% of your salary!!!! When you visit you will note that their churches are among the grandest buildings in the area.
One of our caretakers in Palawan attends and they do seem very fundamentalist in their views

YES i worked with a pilipino guy he said something like that 20% thats why they build those loverly looking churches everwhere


i remember one of my then nieces she married one of those [she was a catholic ] i remember the family here pappa going totaly mad with her ,i never see much of her after that i think the family shunned her

Your must be joking, it's hard enough for Filipina's to bring their sons or daughters here with them. They have to prove that the have sole responsibility for them and that no one else that can care for them or support them if they stay in the Philippines.

Apart from, as others have said, it would be a very bad idea to start your married life in this way, there is absolutely no way she would get a visa, so you should tell your fiancee that ASAP, so she doesn't get her hopes raised on this one.

absolutely right and i agree

Nope it's a misconception they dont insist to collect 20% from ur income. They're ok to accept whatever amount u give them. Nothing like mandatory.

Hi George,
So Maritess had told you already about her religion, the INC. If i'm not mistaken anyone from this religion who wants to marry someone who is not yet an INC should be converted first ( by attending at least 13 meetings in their church,? correct me if i'm wrong)before they are allowed to get married or if not she will be ex-communicated from her church. If you have thought of this already and religion is not a big deal for you then so be it....Attendance is a must and they have a time card... did she tell you about this?

Best of luck to you George..

prior to conversion it is a must to attend/listen to all the doctrines then after that u decide if u want to continue with the baptism or not..attendance is encouraged but no TIME CARDS they have what they call "pagsamba" or mass twice a week Thursdays & Sundays...u gave donations twice a week

Well, here's the latest. She will not convert to another religion and I can't see myself converting to hers, so I think it's the parting of the waves. There is no way she can/will marry me unless I convert. It's a great pity and heartbreaking to have to end this but unless I convert it won't happen. I think Filipinas are the most beautiful girls in the world. The thing is I don't want to get hurt again so any advice on finding the right girl? I used to go on a site called "cebuanas.com" but you had to pay a monthly fee to read any emails that were sent to you and there was no guarantee that it was legitimate. Any advice welcome.
Thanks again.
George
