Hello sister Samira and everyone that sees this amazon charity support opportunity as a bad combination of commerce and donation, I didn't look at it that way, now I do and I agree with you.
I have and will continue to do it the old fashion way.
http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/bl/r1/lp-e?q=1 corinthians16:2
It is clear to me that it is "Amazon" and "not me" donating a 0.5% of my purchases to the Watchtower.
Therefore, I have no plans to diminish the budgeted resources that me and my family donate to Jehovah's organization and their faithful servants.
At this moment, I haven't received any information from amazon stating that I need to select a different charity, therefore I still don't know if the Watchtower is accepting this donations or not, until then, I will keep them as my choice. The Watchtower is the only organization that I know, where donations are used properly and effectively.
Now to the reasons why I think this is a bad idea.
After reading some of the replies, I have been enlightened to see that this could turn into a marketing strategy that amazon uses to get more businesses and therefore be conflicting with our organization. Perhaps more brothers will do what I did and get excited about our organization getting more funds to further the Worldwide Work and construction of new Kingdom Halls and without even realizing it, start campaigning and be unpaid Amazon marketing agents, like me :-(
I could imagine brothers telling other brothers to get this from this seller instead of this other seller because this one supports our organization, not good.
I'm just not going to promote their business in the basis of being good for our organization. That's definitely not a good mixture.
With that being said, I'm sorry that I started this thread, it was not my intention to promote this company.
I love you all brothers and sisters.
