SEPTEMBER 24, 2023 Ika-25 na Linggo sa karaniwang Panahon. Ebanghelyo: MATEO 20:1-16 Kung susuriin natin, tila hindi makatwiran ang pagtanggap ng sahod ng mga manggagawa sa ubasan... pero bago tayo maghatol na "hindi makatarungan," suriin muna natin ang tunay na mensaheng nais iparating sa atin ng talinghaga. Una , ANG PAMAMARAAN NG DIYOS AY IBA SA PAMAMARAAN NG TAO... Sa mundo ng paggawa ay merong nauuna at merong nahuhuli. May matagal na at meron ding nagsisimula pa lamang. Merong nasa mataas na posisyon at may karaniwang trabahador lamang... sa puntong ito mas mataas ang sweldo ng may mataas at matagal na sa posisyon. Ngunit hindi ganito ang pamamaraan ng Diyos. Ang pagpapala ay di katulad ng sweldo na depende sa kakayahan at kagalingan ng tao kundi sa kagandahang loob ng Diyos. Ikalawa, IBA'T-IBA ANG ORAS NG PAGTAWAG NG DIYOS SA TAO UPANG MAGLINGKOD... May mga tinawag sa panahon ng kabataan at merong din namang tinatawag sa panahon na ang tao ay nasa gitna ng kanyang buhay. May mga tinawag din naman kahit na sila ay nasa pagtatakip-silim na ng kanilang buhay... Kung iba ang pamamaraan ng Diyos sa pamamaraan ng tao, masasabi din na iba ang panahon na itinakda ng Diyos para sa tao at sa panahon na itinakda ng tao para sa kanyang sarili. Katulad nga ng sinabi sa isang awitin: "In his time, he makes all beautiful in his time." Ikatlo, MALAYANG MAGAGAWA NG DIYOS ANG NAIS NIYA SAPAGKAT LAHAT NG BAGAY AY PAGMAMAY-ARI NIYA... Walang bagay sa mundo na hindi saklaw ng kapangyarihan at pag-ibig ng Diyos. Pinamamahalaan niya ang lahat ayon sa sarili niyang batas--ang batas ng pag-ibig. Sa talinghaga sa ebanghelyo, nahayag sa atin na ang Diyos ay hindi lamang makatarungan at tapat sa kasunduan. Lumalampas pa siya sa pagiging makatarungan sapagkat siya ay mabuti at mapagmahal... Kahit paulit-ulit tayong nagkakasala sa maraming pagkakataon, nananatiling tapat at mapagmahal pa rin siya sa atin... Sa bandang huli, tatanggapin natin ang bunga (sweldo), hindi ng ginawa natin laban sa Diyos kundi ang bunga ng ginawa ng Diyos sa atin. Sa paglilingkod sa Panginoon, walang una at walang huli, lahat ay pantay-pantay. GOD BLESS????????????.

I was on c4p from 2006 to 2010 as a single guy. I had two or three profs at various times with single females, mostly so I could pay half price for parties bit we would play together with coup8who wanted a full swap instead of a single. This seemed to irk the owner because all my online activities were as a ainglethen I would attend the events as a couple. The "hotwife" lifestyle and cuckold lifestyle weren't as popular then as they are now so as a single guy I faced a lot of backlash from husbands who didn't think singles belong in a swinger community. One in particular was very rude and outspoken in the forums. When I gave him back what he was giving I got a 20 day ban. At one point I was in the top ten on the hot list for almost the entire month. I was number one for theast week. As the month closed out I ended up not even in the top ten. It didn't mean anything to me, it was just a fun thing a bunch of the wives conspired to do to see why would happen if a single guy was number one because it had never happened before. There was a lot of talk in the forums about some algorithms they used to calculate the votes. Anyway the owner was sitting next to me ar a bit annual party in wichita and I didn't know it. I was talking about my experiences dealing with the site admin while planning and hosting an event that drew quite a large crowd. The week after the meet n greet my profile had been restricted as to not having all the access I previously had. I over all I think there are better sites. But if you live in Ark, OK, Kansas and Missouri it's for you covered pretty well. I met a lot of great people some of whom I am still friends with.

We first joined C4P 15 years ago at it's inception. We did forego the free lifetime membership offered at that time because we did not want to implicate 5 friends, the referral requirement for free life time. We met several friends that posted parties and get togethers on C4P and used it primarily to keep track of events and activities. We even hosted and hosted to very large house parties at a commercial property that we owned in Wichita,KS inviting mostly people from C4P, 15 years ago. The C4P site and demeanor has changed especially since Trump was elected in 2016. Haters have proliferated and political allegiance and opinions have become paramount. Because We cannot tolerate stupidity or bigotry my opinions were not welcome and we have had our membership canceled, with no refund, 6 times. Each time I would simply use another screenname, another email and another credit card. Admin, who says he if the owner of the site from Las Vegas, has now banished us and we think that he is now using our IP address to identify when I try to rejoin. I would warn any potential new members to read the read the rules imposed with membership. He owns all content, has monitoring privileges on all contacts and messages and all photos. He will not tolerate contact around his messaging board, which does limit photo exchanges, and private conversations and does monitor attempts a using facebook or emails. He actually uses a program that reads address and.coms and blocks there sending. He owns you and exerts those regulations at a whim. This is not longer a good place to join. The membership has gotten more socially conservative, ie  don't criticize Trump. Unfortunately Good luck.

We were Members for many years, we ignored the MANY Insane actions of the Admin, But recently we have noticed they are deleting members for NO Reason. We finally tired of all The BS from the Admin, and deleted our account. There are enough Lifestyle groups on FB and other sites that are growing fast... SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!!!!

We have been members of the site for 4 years. Have met quite a few cool people. However, we recently had a minor question regarding the sites terms and conditions. We were very professional and respectful. The owner was extremely rude and childish in his response. When we mentioned that other sites did not treat people this way, they deleted our profile. We had just paid for a full month. DON'T waste your time with this site.

used to be a great site, but Bill is an a hole and has become totally greedy. screw it, we're done giving that jerk any money. Plus its gotten boring, same old BS, and lots of fake profiles. Look elsewhere, c4p is over as a good place to be. banned words? this review is also a joke

I met a lot of cool people on the site but the owner Bill is such a jerk. I could not believe the way he treated his customers. Like everyone else said he will read your personal emails and boot you off the site with no warning. There are also many fake profiles. The site seemed to be better a few years ago but now it is just horrible.

the owner of the site thinks that he knows it all and it is his way or the Highway. I have been a member since day one and I have seen many people go/deleted By the owner because he did not agree with them. It used to be a fun place but the owner has made this site no longer any fun. He say's one thing and does another. He has even called friends of our on the Hot list attention you know whats because of their posting of pictures all of the time. Not good by any means.

Too many trashy people on the site. It reminds me of the TV show Jersey Shore.

Bill is the owner and he is a complete weirdo and very creepy he read our emails and then emailed us asking about our messages we said that we felt violated and he deleted our profile with no refund and we was paid or a year

Not very professional....One person's opinion/view(owner) or your deleted without warning. No privacy in personal messages....I could keep going but if your thinking of using this site, BEWARE and GOOD luck.

We have been on this site for a while but it has just become childist and petty. Used to be pretty good but it has just gotten old. We have found several better sites that offer more and at the same price. They are run by professional companies that dont ban people for emotional reasons. We canceled our membership in Dec.

It's an ok site so long as you are a lemming who is ok with aligning ideals to perfectly match up with the long time 'in crowd' members. Opposing views or opinions can be viciously attacked by certain control freak members who feel they control the 'lifestyle'. If you are targeted, you might as well delete your account. Having standards is frowned upon, when your standards aren't their standards or if they mean you don't want to give their doorknob members a turn. There is a very cult like vibe to the site that is not very welcoming to new members, or members who don't wish to attend LS events. Make sure that you don't post anything in their forums that isn't perfectly worded or questions the status quo because the site admin will not allow you to edit or remove it in order to stop their pets from attacking you. We are currently paid members but not for very much longer, thankfully we only paid for one month. On the plus side, there are SOME good friendly members, and the site is pretty easy to navigate, but over all, it's not worth spending money on.

We have been hosting a Monthly Party in our area and had a issue with another group owner sending emails to our members Harassing them threatening them if they joined our Parties, so we sent the Admin a email next thing you know they had reduced our membership so we cant post parties any more and then emailed them back again asking them why and how so they cancelled our membership DO NOT USE THIS WEBSITE THEY ARE ALL ABOUT THE MONEY

This site used to be great for meeting peopel and signing up for parties, it's gone down hill fast, the site owner will ban you from forums if you don't agree with his personal view, so it's really not the social network it pretends ot be since you really can't state your mind, he makes up new rules on the fly and sides with specific club owners, literally banning or placing low rank on other clubs in the area so their parties show up at the bottom of his party list .. It's cheap in comparison to AFF, lifestylelounge etc, but you get what you pay for.. really has gone down hill, Bill had a cash cow for a while but he himself is very trailer park.. always seems high or on ludes at every event we've met him at, and they really don't sponsor any events any more.. except their desire trips.. but if you book at the resort your self for the SAME dates as the C4p trips it's always 1500 cheaper than what he charges.. INSANE.. not much fun any more.. My recommendation is AVOID

The site is well run and the majority of members are great people and lots of fun. But, as discussed in these reviews, the owner is an incredible ego maniac. If members dare disagree with anything he posts or if he disagrees with their posts, he has no problem being abusive and flaunting his power. There is absolutely no sense that the members are his customers. He pretends to moderate the forums, but allows his friends to cuss at, threaten physically and berate anyone they choose to in the forums. The quality of the site is not at all in question. The personality and fairness of the site owner is.

I don't know what others are talking about when it comes to having memberships deleted. We've been on there for years, then again we don't talk about other sites while we're there. We check up on the latest parties, meet new people, etc. It's the only swinger site that we've had any luck with. Worth every penny as far as we're concerned!
