  Undercover's approach is the right approach. You might put your sentences in the form of a single question. Good luck.

  Thank you for all the words of encouragement. This forum is the best. I am taking injections of Procrit for the Leukemia. THere does not seem to be any effect on my condition. I will not be able to take this forever as I will probably go broke before too long. The cost is about $8000 per year. Does anybody know where I can get this med at a discount.

  My family is not nearby but I am getting a lot of support from friends. Mentally I am OK. THe worse time is at night where I can think, just before falling asleep. TIME DOES CURE ALL.

  Hortensia, love and kisses to you for your warm thoughts.

  I recently passed on some sad news regarding my medical condition and the death of my daughter and later trip to Patterson for the funeral. Unfortunately the missfortune did not stop there. I recently got word that my sister was deathly ill and before I could get to her bedside she passed. On my return home I received a call from my brother-in- law that my brother had passed. I am now wondering when this will end. With my doctor's diagnosis of Leukemia in my body, it looks like I may be the next. Stay tuned. I am told that the median survival time after detection is about 24 weeks. Who knows? I will post my obit here.

  when a jw spouse dies the remaining spouse is entitled to some money from the social security administration.

  how is this handled by the watchtower.

  is there any documents that spell this out.

  A fellow I workked with in '75 received a check from the Social Security Administration every month after the death of his underaged son. How much? I don't know. My first question was mainly about the payments from Government to a JW. If the separation of the two entities is for real and complete, I am sure that this money would not be paid to the poor. Furthermore, I am sure the Watchtower would get their glommers on it, as miniscule as it may be.

  I was assuming that the Watchtower would ask or the member would sign the check over to the org as a donation particularly for those that are living in Brooloyn or Patterson compounds

Is the check just endorsed by the JW recipient and handed over to the Watchtower? Need some good information on this.

  i was pondering this after an aa meeting the other day.

  a couple of the 12 steps involve working constantly to improve our conscious contact with god.

  they do not seek him out, go into a guide place to seek his guidence.
