Love and money.

You are right, Crisi, that God alone knows what is in the heart, and we can't know what is in the hearts of people. We don't fit into the mold that many people want to put us in, and often we are accused of fitting into that mold, but we don't. I think also part of the problem with the person who repeats all this stuff is that he doesn't practice I Corinthians 13. We are to hope for the best in other people. Believe the best about them until they prove otherwise, and he shouldn't accuse innocent people of what thinks they are like, when they have not proven that at all. He shouldn't be telling all filipinas all this stuff about what he thinks they are like, because they are not all like that. Let's hope for the best for all people, and believe in them.

Just as I predicted Edwin follows with "You are right Crisi". Hmm, aren't men to be leaders and women followers?

Bigblastguy this is a freedom we can have to comment on any post we want. Have you not seen my comments on Red's post, on Smiley's post, on mystic's post, but you noticed only one post out of many that I commented on. I guess it helps you to prove your point, huh, Bigblastguy. I have responded to many posts, and in fact almost everyone who has ever posted here I have reponded to. That's okay, you can think that way if you want!

To agree with someone on the basis of his or her idea just showing the appreciation. Because I cannot agree with you at this point, thus there is no "you are right, Bigblastguy".

Sorry for the fact that you have nothing to agree with you.

[Edwin]

Bigblastguy, it depends on who gets there first whether you follow or lead. If I am going to Walmart, and someone sees me go, wants to catch up with me to go with me to Walmart, I am the leader and that other person is the follower. If I see someone going into Walmart and I want to go with that person, maybe that person doesn't even know that I want to go to, so that other person is the leader and I am the follower. Bigblastguy, who cares if I am the leader or the follower! I am not on any ego trip, that makes me have to be the leader. I am happy to be the leader or the follower. I am happy either way. You should relax, enjoy life, and follow sometimes if you want to. I will give you permission to do that! You don't have to feel obligated to be a leader all the time! Crisi is correct about her saying or writing things that I can agree with! My philosophy of life agrees a lot with her's!

Any legitimate computer professional knows banning someone is words only, it has no real value as there are many thousands of proxy servers with millions of IP addresses. You are a funny guy and laughing is good. Thanks for that.

Now you infringed also the last point of the forum policy: you are threatening the forum of spamming it. For my idea, I would proceed to the immediate ban. But as I receive feedback that your posts are funny to read, I will second the opinion of the others. So, feel free to post all your non sense

I am left with a few questions, however. Why do you come to spam in a Christian community? I would understand if you do it in other kind of forums. As you say, there are many Filipino dating sites around, and far more dangerous to the unaware. Your topics are just out of place here at jaderune, and disturbing the community. It would be polite to avoid certain subjects.

Then, you said you have experience with Filipinas. This makes me wonder where you found you Filipinas. Are they from the city, the country, etc.? I wonder if there is a place with a mayor concentration of money digging or hidden agenda women. I suspect that the spoiled Filipinas are mostly from the big towns.

[Edwin]

mystic, I have heard that in the provinces the filipino people and the filipinas are innocent, descent, loving, kind, reliable, and just wonderful people. I have also heard what you suggested that there are a concentration of some bad ones in large cities, like Manila, but I still think those people are in the minority, and even most of the filipinas in Manila are wonderful people. I believe that to be true because my good friend, and my brother-in-law who is now dead from cancer, both got their filipinas from Manila, and those filipinas are the best people you could imagine, and neither one of them would ever scam a dime from anyone, and in fact they refused to take money from anyone even though they were both in a minor state of poverty themselves and they were from impoverished families, so Bigblastguy's theory didn't hold water for them, and they were the only ones that I knew personally, besides now many of his filipina's family in and around Manila. They told me themselves how much their appreciate my friend helping them because they told me that they have it hard. He buys rice for them periodically, and he and his filipina has employed one of their families to build, maintain, and keep safe a new house that her brother built for them in Negros Oriental. I don't know my brother-in-law's family in Guimaras Island personally, only his filipina, but my wife knows them personally as she went there to stay with and visit all of them. They are wonderful people as well!

For BigBlastGuy, please, read the MAINTENANCE NOTICE thread.

That's interesting, Ed. Indeed, I heard that in Manila there are internet cafes with Filipinas chatting with 10 westerns at the same time, so it made me wonder.

[Edwin]

mystic, in my spare time I am either looking something up in the Bible, playing on the internet, or playing the piano, when I don't have anything else that is pressing. Of course since the month of April, the piano playing went on the back burner, and the time on the internet was limited, because of all the work I had to do. It is still somewhat that way, but not to that extend, but I still have to get out and do things to try to be ready when the cold and the snow hits which could be any time. We are close enough with the cellar and water system that we will make it, and I am confident of that now. Of course we went to town today instead of me working, and we will meet with a friend Friday, so there goes that work day, but it is important to meet with this friend. We had him at our house a lot of the time that he was growing up, and he lived with us for several years. We saw him today, and it felt really good!

Anyway when I went to the Philippines with my friends in 2010 I was really excited and over joyed to go! I didn't know what to expect, and Carol's brother was going to come down to our friends house after a few days and take me home with them to Guimaras Island, but he was installing a solar and wind electric generating system, and having trouble with it, so they were not able to come to get me, so I spent the entire time with my friend's filipina's family, which was a lot of fun, house blessing, dinners, trips to the mall, and lots of fun. Anyway I watched for internet cafes as I went various places thinking I would write a message home, but I never found any that I could see. They got worried about me here at home, so Carol called her brother in Guimaras Island, and he texted my friend's filipina, and she told me that they were worried about me. So her nephew went to his home, and wrote a message and sent it home to Carol, so that she could relax and know that everything was okay.

I did see one interent cafe while we were eating at Scooby's restaurant in a place where one side was Scooby's and the other was a grocery store. This was in Tanjay City. They had this little room about 2 feet higher than the rest of the restaurant and store, which was the internet cafe. They had a quite a few computer/internet connections, but every computer was occupied, and people were waiting in line to get on the internet, so I knew there would be little hope doing that. The ladies were gone buying fruit, and they told us white guys to stay there and enjoy because if we were seen with the filipinas the price would go up, which I thought was interesting!

[mystic]

Ed, it's good you didn't find any strange situation in the internet cafes. Maybe there are also Filipinas who can have their own internet connection and so hide what they are doing. Among the few that I knew, there were 2 of them from Manila who told me they do it (date multiple men on the internet at the same time), despite they both seem to come from a good family. Since I was not looking for dating, maybe they felt more free to tell me.
One, who was apparently very God-fearing (despite I have no way to verify this) and never had a man, had no shame to introduce to her family her conquests. I wondered how permissive her family was in supporting her in every whim. It seemed to me that the whole family was having a hidden agenda.
The other one even tried to convince me that it is good to date many western man at the same time, because it is already so difficult to find somebody willing to do the trip to the Philippines and continue until marriage, and so at least one will hopefully respond positively. It seemed to me like a fishing sport.

Now, I don't think that they are necessarily bad girls. Maybe they have the most good intention, and they are even so blind when a man apparently gives them his attention, that they might end married to a bad guy. I saw the first mentioned girl who is now with her American guy, who is staying in the Philippines 3 months!! Everybody would come up with this question: "Does he have a job?"

I don't know what to think. In the Bible they often took a wife without even knowing her, and it worked. To me, it needs a long process to find only the real and right one. And despite my many filters and prudence, I did my wrong choices.
