Dave Hounddriver Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 My take on "God Fearing" as opposed to saying Catholics only need apply is that she expects her man to have the same morals, behavior and attitude of a Catholic but whether you do the religious rituals is up to you.

Art2ro Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 (edited) I have met a few couples in the past with children and who do not impose religion on their children at a young age, because their reasoning was, let them find out for themselves what religion is all about so that they can choose for themselves later in life! These couples I spoke with were Catholics, Muslims and Protestants, but the majority of religious couples preferred that their children follow their ancestor's and family's religion to keep it in the family circle so that their children don't feel left out or out of place during such religious occasions! I myself was influenced in growing up to be a Catholic, but as time pasted, I never got into religion faithfully or seriously for reasons today I yet to understand! Oh well, each to every parent in their own ways of doing things as one is brought up in the world!So no, the forum topic or religious topics don't bother me as long no one trys to convert or influence me into it or rant about their religious beliefs like a lunatic just out of a phyco ward, because practicing and performing one's religious faith should be done in the privacy of one's own home or in their proper place of worship and not out in the open public or where ever it's against the law! And that is why religious topics on forums are so controversial, but did I say anything here that made it one? I hope not, because it wasn't my intent to offend anyone with my comments and if it does, I'm sure it will be deleted! So, keep the faith and have a happy life everyone!

ekimswish Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 Not to offend anyone.... but I also think a girl might say "God fearing" as a ways to come across as a "good girl", whether she is or isn't. She could have had a million boyfriends before - which isn't a problem, really, though it could be perceived as one - and tell you she's god-fearing and only been with one guy as well as a bunch of other stuff that might not be true. I think it's usually a facade, which ruins it for those who are telling the truth. Time will tell and actions speak louder than words. God-fearing will mean different things to different people, so you'd have to hear from her personally what she actually means by it. To me, a skeptic, I just assume she's a bad girl (not bad meaning bad but bad meaning good?) trying to come off as a good girl (not good meaning good, but good meaning bad!). Talk to the girl, let her explain, and time will tell if she actually means it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 Thanks everyone. Hello Max,I understand your concern about personal backgrounds in your pursuit in finding the "right" one. Although I have never tried internet dating before, one could assume it's no easy task filtering out the bad apples among thousands of good ones. I guessthe boots on the ground will be the final exam in canvassing your applicants. It would certainly be a valid question to ask heror them what and how deep is their religious conviction. And they also have the right to ask about your background as well.Needless the say, I wouldn't latch on to the very first one, just because your Ferrari went into sex overdrive. Just take a nicelooong cruise and enjoy all the "hills and valleys". The subject of religion could be discussed much later.Respectfully -- Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My curious question is Max, when are you coming to the Philippines with your "boots on the ground" to prove your "God fearing" ways to these thousands of nice Filipinas you met on an internet dating site? You're gonna be one busy guy! I hope your money or stamina will hold out! Good luck! Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Hi Arturo,I'm looking at coming in a month or so, however before meeting any of the shortlisted ones, I got lots of thing to do such as sorting my life there....so I think it will take another 2 weeks before I really get going and surely I will focus on just one...I got one that is really off the charts...and of course she is in Mindanao.

Just take a nicelooong cruise and enjoy all the "hills and valleys". The subject of religion could be discussed much later.Respectfully -- Jake Hi Jack,You certainly are a wise man. Of course all I'm doing for now is getting to know a few great candidates....while making a few friends along the way and gaining some precious information about the Philippines, I am very aware that I won't get the full and real picture until I live there...remember I'm not a one-night-stand guy nor I am gonna get sexually involved with anyone until I know her for a while...especially since I don't want children for at least 5 years. However the level of great women I'm seeing online means that offline there may be just 10 times more great ones...quite unreal.The religion thing is just that I'm a very analytical person and as I became a no-religion guy (but deeply spiritual and believe in Karma) I just wonder if I'm going to face a cultural barrier with people who possibly have been 'brainwashed' by kind of Middle-Age beliefs which have no scientific ground if you know what I mean.For instance, while I was browsing on YouTube the horrible videos about Maguindanao, I came across one where there was a local man (aged probably 50 - 60) holding a M16 and telling the reporter about how good were the ears of some Muslims whose he ate years ago.....and then he said, I hope God is looking on me.......I thought ...are you for real??? You killed and ate human beings and expect to be a good person? What is that thinking if not something belonging to Middle Ages? So my concern is that especially in rural areas (which I normally tend to like compared to crammed cities) is that people will behave and think like what in the UK would call 'bigots'. And a few of these apparently good females show pictures of their house filled with religios objects....like if it was a church. When one has the financial resources to purchase a new vehicle in cash, but also has the maturity of studying all the options and weigh the pros and cons using internet research, I would say you are the wiser man. Often times however, when one gets to test drive the very first one, we tend to commit ourselves without test driving the others.Ahh......to be in you shoes again, shopping around for a soul mate. Temptations abound with new sights and smell. Do you (we) have the maturity to meet and greet others to find the right one? I think It would be a difficult simply because of human nature. We are here to support you -- you have two Kuyas, several big brothers and one nasty uncle (me) advising you to learn from our mistakes. Well OK.......several mistakes.Unfortunately, some locations in the Philippines are still considered hot spots. The province of Maguindanao where the most horrendous massacre occurred two years ago, had nothing to do with religion. Most of the perpetrators were either high on shabu or had to follow orders from the Amputuan dynasty or they will become victims themselves. That could be another topicfor discussion........Good hunting young man -- Jake Edited May 22, 2011 by Jake Korrect my Englesh agin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Hounddriver Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 . . . people who possibly have been 'brainwashed' by kind of Middle-Age beliefs which have no scientific ground if you know what I mean.Enough already. Those of us with spiritual beliefs are not allowed to preach them to you on this site. That means you are not allowed to get get in you snide remarks that you are holier than they, but in a 'scientific' way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
