For the most part, the Changchun Friends website is not very active and has been superseded by the Tencent "Wechat" app by the local expat community. This website is maintained sporadically, people may still join and membership is still open, but if you are a spammer, stay away. The archived information here is still useful, but some may be out of date. There are plans to make it more useful for static information in the future. If anyone needs information about Changchun or China, you may post a message and it probably will get a response but not immediately.

Event Description

In the first epistle to Timothy in the New Testament, St. Paul wrote that the love of money is the "root of all evil".  Does this statement have any truth to it?  Judge for yourself as Garret, John, and Jack line up against Richard, Fin, and Ward in an attempt to put this this old saw to rest for good.  Come, vote, and put in your own two-cents worth. 

Here is the actual quote:

 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

Don't worry, I won't bite anyone during the debate.  However, I can't promise that I won't gum anyone.

Little John the peacemaker is starting to sound rather eh...... biting...

correction: "question to whether" in place of "question that whether"

Comment by John Rutledge on August 30, 2012 at 11:00

I was thinking, maybe we should change the question that whether Jack is the source of all evil?

Comment by John Rutledge on August 30, 2012 at 10:52

That's pretty rich, Jack, especially since you sold yours a long time ago.

Money can't buy you happiness. Only trust in the Lord will replenish the immortal soul.

Please, Richard, please, please let me answer.
