The Fraud of Religious Charity

I work at home. In doing so I leave the TV on. I usually watch PBS but during pledge drives, I am forced to leave the channel tuned to something else. One of my passions is old movies (film noir). These channels have an unusual amount of advertising. These ads are sometimes amusing as these "off" channels are forced to sell advertising to what you might say are the most unscrupulous people. Ads like late night chat lines (phone sex), "As seen on TV" products, and the obligatory charity ads. Recently I had a film noir movie on and witnessed what I thought was a mistake. It was an ad to send money to homeless Holocaust survivors. I thought "what?" It was an ad by the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. Now I don't know if this is legitimate but it seems fishy to say the least. I wonder how many Holocaust survivors are actually still alive. The charity only started in 2015. Now if the charity started 70 years ago or even 30 years ago I wouldn't be suspicious, but 2015?
Heres their website:

Now I am all for helping the holocaust survivors and or WWII veterans but there just aren't that many still around.
What do you think?
Also, do you know of any fishy religious charities like Joel Olsteen and others?

Καλησπέρα, άκουσα για το Duo

Καλησπέρα, άκουσα για το Duo Spin λόγω των προσφορών του για παίκτες από Ελλάδα και αποφάσισα να δοκιμάσω. Παίζοντας Legacy of Dead οι πρώτες περιστροφές ήταν αποτυχημένες. Μετά μπήκα στο https://duo-spin.gr και ενεργοποίησα ένα reload bonus, αυξάνοντας ελαφρά το ποντάρισμα. Ένα δυνατό γύρισμα free spins με έκανε να κερδίσω. Τώρα το επισκέπτομαι για αξιόπιστη καζίνο εμπειρία.

Περίμενα στην ουρά για την

Περίμενα στην ουρά για την εξυπηρέτηση πελατών στον Πειραιά και η σειρά μου αργούσε απελπιστικά, οπότε άνοιξα το https://corgibet.com.gr για να αποσπάσω την προσοχή μου. Μου έκανε εντύπωση πόσο εύκολη ήταν η διαδικασία εγγραφής και πόσο γρήγορα φάνηκε η πρώτη μου κατάθεση στον λογαριασμό μου εδώ στην Ελλάδα. Όλα δουλεύουν ρολόι και το περιβάλλον είναι τόσο φιλικό που ακόμα και ένας αρχάριος μπορεί να ξεκινήσει αμέσως χωρίς κανένα πρόβλημα.
