i am delighted to announce that after a difficult conception, a longer than hoped for gestation period, a higher cost than i had hoped for, and all the associated gubbins, the delivery was successful:.
The marriage was in May 2009. Much hard work got her UK visa, and we came to UK two days before Xmas 2010.
The knife attack was July 2011 and I moved out. She lived in the house (I paid the rent and bills). A week after I moved out, boyfriend started spending nights there. (I was unaware of this). Ten weeks later, she moved in with new boyfriend - and his former partner and their young DS child. Unbelievable!
And, BTW, can I just say this for the info of all readers. THERE IS NO DIVORCE IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Yes, I received an official government document (100% genuine) showing that my FP was married at 21 and had a son in the Phils. She denied the marriage, of course.
Was I ever legally married to her? Don't know, and to be honest now I don't even really care. I am confident that I did my best in difficult circumstances. I am also confident that I won't easily be taken for a fool again anytime soon.

I met and married my FP within a month while in Cyprus. The marriage was in haste because of (her) immigration status problems, and it took me a great deal of time, effort and money to bring her to the UK. Outsiders realised what was happening - and warned me - but 'there is none so blind as he that will not see'.
Now, I have a clear run at life ahead. Sad, of course, because I would not have married this woman if I was not in love with her. I have a knife scar - she has a police record.

My divorce Decree Absolute!
I have made many mistakes in my life, and have been taken for a fool (strange for a 30 year cop!) but at last my divorce from my Filipina Princess is finalised. She found a new boyfriend (older but richer than me) within a week or so.
I have no idea what lies ahead but whatever it is, now I know that I can seize any and every opportunity that comes my way.
so... i am coming to the conclusion that pretty much all of the doctrinal stuff that i have believed for 25/30 years is built on a house of cards and it's about to come crashing down.
question is what do i replace it with?.
my intellectual head says that that whole thing is junk and there is almost certainly no god at all.
after the past few years of trying to really figure out what the bible is teaching and no influence, one of the things has been that possibly the god of the israelites may have been a son.
i want feedback on what i am about to show.
this is the tip of the iceberg, just one angle of what may be going on.
If you research this site, I think you'll find that (even) the bible acknowledges the (supposed) existence of other 'gods' and the painful transition from a polytheistic to a montheistic belief. Why would you have a commandment saying 'you will have no other gods before me' unless it was accepted that there WERE other gods?
This is uncomfortable for a montheistic religion, just one more example where reading the bible with an open mind throws up doubts. It doesn't always actually say what we think it does (or were taught that it does).
Welcome! You are, of course, spouting what we in the UK call (in the vernacular) 'bollocks'. This is a technical term with several meanings. Biologically it means 'testes' or, more commonly, 'balls'. In the sense in which I use it, it means drivel, rubbish, codswallop, etc.
I never was a dub, I'm an atheist, so I'm a bit of an outsider here (though I've been here for quite a while now). Don't go quoting 'Paul' at me or you might get more of a debate than you wanted.
I am nobody's witness and the only thing I promote is research, clear thought and clear speech.
(Yes, I know I'm feeding the troll but I couldn't help myself!).
an indiana sheriff's office is investigating alleged misconduct by the pastor of an evangelical megachurch who was fired after admitting to an "improper relationship" with a teenage girl, the hammond post-tribune reports.. jack schaap, 54, was pastor at 15,000-congregation first baptist church of hammond, ind., for 11 years and broadcast his sermons worldwide.. the church said in a news release that schaap committed "a sin that has caused him to forfeit his right to be our pastor," the associated press reports.. the lake county sheriff's department says it is investigating the alleged misconduct but does not expect to file charges, the post-tribune reports.. a church spokesman says the teenager is 17 years old and was at least 16 years old -- the age of consent in indiana -- at the time of the incident.. the board of deacons announced schaap's dismissal tuesday for sinful behavior that involved adultery and physically inappropriate behavior, the hammond timesreports.. terry duff, chairman of the board of deacons, said the church is committed to finding out the full story on the allegations and that "no wronging will be covered up.
""we are going to do what is right no matter what the cost or consequences to first baptist church," duff said wednesday evening.terry duff, chairman of the board, said the church is committed to finding out the full story on the relationship and that "no wronging will be covered up," wbbm-tv, the cbs affiliate in chicago, reports.. "we are going to do what is right no matter what the cost or consequences to first baptist church," duff told reporters wednesday evening.. duff said that schaap acknowledged the affair when confronted by church leaders and is attempting to reconcile with his wife, who is the daughter of the church's founder.. correction on 8/3/12: hyles was not the founder of the church, which dates to 1887, however, he was instrumental in during it into a megachurch during his leadership, from 1959 to 2001.. wbbm reports that interim pastor eddie lapina told the congregation wednesday evening, "we need to watch each other, we need to make sure that nobody ... gets the feeling that they're above reproach.".
schaap is also author of several books on marriage and dating, but they are apparently were removed from the website of his publisher, hyles publications.. in his 1995 book, titled marriage: god's original intent, schaap writes:.
If the age of consent in Indiana is 16, he's done nothing wrong legally, just 'schaaping his schlaap'. Give it plenty of public crying, some dollars, and he'll be OK 'cos probably his god, in a secret and personal message only he can hear, will 'forgive' him.
(Edited to add:) If this perv had 'schaaped' my daughter at 16 I'd have cut his schlaap off, 'minister of god' or not. Stick THAT on the altar as a burnt offering and see if it pleases your god! If he objects, tell him that it was a circumcision that went a bit too far.
