Choosing the Right and Legitimate Charity Organization through Tele- Marketing

If you are wanting to donate to a certain charity take note of these important things: Check out If the charity is registered at the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and if the charity organization has an IR no. Specially those calling off shore. The Charity may be registered in the Country where they are dialing from but the organization may not be registered in the U.S.( as in the case of the charity that I worked for, they have been applying for a BBB registration for 10 years now but never passed the BBB criteria and donors are complaining that their donations are not sent or donations are chopped off by 30% when the return receipts get back to them.) Inquire how much goes to the recipients usually 97% of donations goes directly to the needy the rest goes to the Charity's logistics.

Archeological findings show that he left  Jerusalem  at age thirteen traveled to  the Orient and came back to  Jerusalem  at the age of 29.    An awesome revelation published in the early eighties; the research started about the Christ’s lost years in 1929 . The lost years of Jesus is also known to be a relevant part of discussion in The Gospel of Thomas (yes, doubting Thomas) I lifted excerpts from the book:   Best of the Sons of Men  Translation by Notovitch: "...
