HAPPY BIRTHDAY
There once was a girl that believed in mankind, that there was still honor and chivalry that existed in everyone of us. She also believed that everyone deserves a chance to prove oneself individually and hoped that the courtesy would be returned. That girl is dead now, and all that is left is her shadow. To give one a chance to prove thyself is a chance for you to become dwindled in the dissappointment.
Think first before you decide.......or else u gonna
haayyyyyyyyyy,,,, such lifeThink first before you decide.......or else u gonna
Well, I'd better explain this a little more clearly. I'm sorry I didn't give you more info at the start so here goes. Maritess is 25 years old and her sister, Dianne is 18. She is studying at college to be a nurse and has 3 years to go so she wouldn't be coming over until 2012.As for Maritess, we have been talking for quite a few months now. We talk nearly every day by webcam. When I talk on the phone I also talk to her parents. Maritess has a Bsc in Commerce. We just started to talk about everyday things and as I am 56 as of today I never thought about a relationship, I just enjoyed talking to her. Obviously I was aware of the age gap and as we talked I started to have feelings for her and it was the same for her and the age gap didn't seem to bother her. Yes, it did go through my mind that I was being used to get her over here but the more we talked the more I trusted her. I plan on going over there for a holiday first to see how we get on face to face. Another thing is her religion. She is am ember of Iglesia Ni Christo and this seems to be quite a radical religion, if that is the right word and she wants me to convert to her religion before we can marry. So after all that the question is ,would she be allowed to come here as my wife and could her sister come here in 2012.
Thanks for all the replies folks.
George.
happy birthday, george!!!

Thank for the birthday greeting. How did you know I was a drummer??? I hope the added information helps.
Thanks.

P.S. 56 and still rockin'
Thanks very mch for you all to take the time to reply. The nearest INC church to me is about 200 miles away so attending there for 13 meetings is not an option. I will have to bite the bullet and tell her this. I'll keep you posted. Thanks again.

PLENTY OF BANGING LEFT IN AN OLDISH DRUM im only a couple of years behind so no offence intended
Short sharp shock testTell her you cant possibly live up to her expectations of you nor the stipulations she is imposing upon your relationship,therefore its with heartfelt and sincere regret that you have to sever your ties with her and seek someone with lowlier expectations,and you hope she in turn finds a man to fulfill her lofty wishes and dreams
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.
First is you must realised that she cannot marry you till you convert to her religion or if she would convert to yours (which i dont think she will). So you must sort that issue first and foremost. Secondly, her sister can be allowed only for a visiting visa or a student visa...but that would cost you money. She cannot have any other visa than that as she cannot be petitoned due to her age (21 on 2012), if it is a visitors visa it will only allow her a couple of months to visit you but she will not be allowed to work. Student visa, yes she can work but only 20hrs in a week but remember she must enrolled in a college. and lastly is she will marry another brit

Converting...???
It is a two way street in this world....
She has to respect your views, like you have to respect hers... What's this converting lark got to do with love for each other...???
We have a couple of professional atheists on the forum, and they did not force their strongly religious
wifes to abandon whatever they believe in for marriage purpose.
They don't mind taking the Mrs's to Church and picking them up after mass, I believe they actually encourage them to go (Enough time for a pint or three, I reckon..) and their relationship doesn't suffer, because of this mutual respect.
They will not try to convert each other.
Sorry po' but going back to my original post, I still don't like the blackmail....
Good luck.
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?
Her sister could come here via student visa, or tourist visa or marry someone who is a British citizen. I think this was already answered by one of the members/moderators in the first posts?
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
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
If they do sacrifices I'll join

seems like she's making demands already??first, she wants her sister in UK with her then she wants u to convert religion??
As the old saying goes, love conquers all. People who are in different religions can definitely make a relationship work but of course it's up to u..u might like the idea of converting to her religion then go for it
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?????
RUN AWAY....
