FILIPINAS ACCEPTING DIVORCED MEN

Hi Jeff and Steve,

People also forget that Jesus didn't found Christianity. Nor did he establish or belong to the Catholic or Protestant Churches as Steve has mentioned.

To quote what you posted:  "I believe that THE FILIPINAS who married divorced man are only thinking about worldly things and a richer lifestyle and don't want to think about the next life."

I find this genralization to be baseless, much more insulting to each and every filipina married to a previously divorced man.

I will be marrying a divorced man (with God's intercession with the government red tape, at the soonest possible time I hope) but NOT for the reasons you cited.

And the afterlife is definitely important to me that is why I try at all times, to always give due respect, dignity and think of the person/s in everything I do and say.

May you have a peaceful night.

Hi May,

It is nice to see you here again. My wife married a divorced man (me) and she certainly didn't do it for worldly reasons either. In fact, we believe that it was the hand of God that brought us together. I had a better chance of winning the lottery than meeting her. I'm very happy that I lost the lottery and won her heart instead. ))) Best regards to you and Barry!

Hello Dave.... forget about the lottery. *grin*

Money can buy you things but will never buy you 2 very important things....a peaceful sleep at night & real love.

I am sure all of us here who found our true love are far luckier and blessed.

..even if he is just 50% of my Chris' personality. Generalizations are really stupid.

BTW, nice to see you here again May.

Today I was reminded by a post I wrote a long time ago.  It seems fitting now.

So, I searched back and found it.  A long time ago,  when I was just starting here, in fact,  I was asked by Ray if I had ever lived in the US.

Who would have ever thought that what I have always believed in was to be prophetic of things to come.  My answer to Ray then was no but IF I did,  I would want it to be a place where people see no color nor creed....where everyone thinks that no matter how bad a person is....deep inside there is always something good in him.

Not only is Barry divorced but he is also a Baptist.  I didn't have any qualifications when I fell in love with him just as I didn't expect to be judged by my background.

It's the truly genuine filipina like you May that the Philippines should be proud of! You are what I would call the salt of the earth and one of the finest examples of a human being I have ever known.

I hope your visa comes soon!

Your Friend, Humabdos

The truth of the matter is,  there is only HIM who can judge each and everyone of us, no one else.

More than our visa,  I think you and Sallie deserves to have your visa processed.  Nine months is a looooooong time!!!  And the waiting is affecting YOU NOW!!!  *grin*  (as I read the other board, too.....*smile*)

My prayers will be that Sallie will be there with you before the 15th of December (this yr.).  I am told my words are somewhat prophetic.  *grin*

Anyway,  it's sooooooo nice of you to keep repeating your  "forgiveness of george"......*smile*   I hope that's what  F U George means or YOU will really be burning in h*ll inside your doghouse.  *grin*

Love is to find fault and still forgive.
To fight and still make up.
To find perfection in one's imperfections.

Hi Tom,

I have to go along with most of what the others have said. I believe that most Catholic Filipinas would prefer not to marry a divorced man. However, they realize that "single" or widowed Western men they meet are far and few between. So why do they marry a divorced man who doesn't have an anullment? There may be some who are in it for the money. But many realize they have found a good man, fall in love and want to spend their life with him...even if it means a civil or Protestant marriage. Many do have feelings of guilt. They have hopes that an annulment will be possible in the future, so they may marry in their home Catholic Church, before family and friends.

Good Luck!
