  Don't miss the health care sign up deadline.

  sign up deadline is the 31st, in a couple of days.

  if you have problems with the website and youve been there before, try cleaning out your cookies and cache, then restart your computer.

  that worked for me.

  FlyingHighNow- thank you for your encouragement. I was very disappointed I could not complete the process through healthcare.gov yesterday and make the deadline.

  I will try for medicare again.

  I do not own my home. It belongs to my brother and sister. They will be selling the house soon, in a few months. My brother and his wife will be getting their own place. As of now I have no idea where I will go. I hope something will work out and my best friend will let me move in with him, wherever he ends up. (He will be splitting from his wife.)

  thanks for the info!

  great post lisaBObeesa!

  Witnesses always said how they loved me and would die for me- I'd always have their help.

  I always helped any of my friends in any way I could but my dear Mom told me they would not be there for me when I need help. And she was so right. I wish I could tell her that but she died nearly 14 years ago while I was still in the cult :(

  The wts gives away their literature at no charge because they HAVE to. They will be taxed if they go back to using suggested contribution prices.

  Witnesses have no GENUINE love-it is all conditional. Miss meetings and these wonderful, loving true Christians pretend you don't even exist.

  2014: do you see Witnesses ramping up activity? What will the aftermath be in 2015?

  jw's often say they don't serve with any dates in mind.

  but the fact is many of them can't fathom why the end just hasn't come yet.

  since 2014 marks 100 years of invisible rule many witnesses can't help but think this has some special meaning.

  I also did not prepare financially for my future- I started studying with the cult , um, witnesses, when I was 18, right after HighSchool. armageddon was coming VERY SOON!

  I wish I knew then what I know now about the wt scam.

  A sister who used to bring me the magazines and publications has not been by since January. And there was a long gap before that. I wonder if she is so worn out she also has cut way back on FS, or maybe gave it up altogether?

  I see much continued weariness and apathy among most witnesses for the next few years.

  Thank you FlyingHighNow.

  I tried signing up yesturday. I set up an account but it would not let me use my password or username after activating it. I changed password, started again. Several failed tries-it said my account was locked or disabled. I was disgusted.

  I went directly to medicaid. Tried to get online application. It failed- said it crashed. I gave up.

  May try again another time for medicaid. But I can make no co-pays. What money I have left now goes to food!

  skbj- I did not fit into any of the catagories you listed either when I started studying with the witnesses right after high school.

  I am unemployed and cannot afford ANY health care- I can make no payments at all. I have no taxes to pay as I have no income, so tax credits are useless to me.

  Obamacare is a joke.

  NotBlind- excellent post.

  I just wanted to add the decreasing of book production and going from using several books in the door to door work to only using the Teach book.

  They cut back the printing budget every year.

  I don't ever see witnesses going door to door in my area. Either there are too few of them or they are apathetic.
