Cyn, I think you're right to some extent... I just like to put in a bit of time to find out if there are glaring problems with some of the charities I know about before depositing my money there. But I understand your point... don't want to get into "paralysis by analysis."

I'll look into what some of you have said... thanks again for the tips.
That's exactly what I mean by "on it's face." With the advent of the internet all sins of companies, organizations and people can be culled and examined for years upon years. Glaring problems will be apparent immediately, just don't kick yourself for the later, if and when something comes up of "if only I had digged just a little deeper."

My actions in themselves are honorable and that's what matters. Me tithing/donating to any organization is itself honorable. What they do after that is betwen them and their god/conscience, not mine.
