This post will probably be deleted like my other one, but just know, I have no problem with you or how you choose to spend your money.
So, JDRF doesnt encourage people to donate money? What about the American Cancer society? I think the OP was just making a suggestion about donating to this worthy cause. If you dont want to donate to it, dont.

Well Christopher, since you ask about my business, the reason I said I donated was because in the other thread I said I was going to donate, and I wanted to let people know that I kept my word. I put my money where my mouth is. Also, I wanted to encourage others to donate. Who are the people you are talking about that don't understand that? If you tell me who they are, I would be happy tp contact them personally instead of having you act as a middleman so to speak.
I agree, people can figure out things on their own, given the opportunity and knowledge regarding worthy organizations. Thank you so kindly for explaining things to me.
