i know a bunch of jw's for over 30 years , and most of them aviod me , they hate getting twisted into a pretzel.
but some of them do talk with me .
and i allways ask them how are you doing?
Definately, Because of their belief in armagedon and the paradise a lot of witnesses put their lives on hold waiting for that day.
It's like they can't be truly happy in "this system of things".
Also because a lot suffer from depression but are advised not to seek professional help as that would be worldly advice. Told just to hang out for the new system when all their problems will be solved.
if you could go back & re-live one day in your life ... which day would you choose, and why?
I agree with ohio. Should have run a mile. Baptism, worst decision ever.
ruddy dog.

Walks and swims aye. Trouble tis when he swims, he really swims, like half mile off shore, tis hec of a trouble getting him back again, enough to drive you barmy.
LMAO. Have a 6 year old son I have the same problem with. I suppose that's what I get for taking him to swimming lessons from the age of 3 months. Just as well his mothers a stong swimmer too.
i'm feeling really good today.. i had lunch with prisca yesterday, it was really great.
we talked about the reasons we both left the borg, it was really great to talk to someone face to face about everything.
the best thing is she only lives 10 minutes away from me, how great is that.. she moved to melbourne about 12 months ago.
Glad it's all come together for you!Are you likely to meet anymore Melbournian ex's in the future?
Thank's stephanus. Would not have been possible without you. Yes I'm planning on going to the EX-JDUB meetup this saturday. Really looking forward to it.
ok, it has been a long time since i sewed anything.
do i wash my fabric first?
i can't remember and the pattern instructions don't say.. diana
I am going to attempt making a cloak for my daughter from some fabric I have had in storage for years (keep your fingers crossed) with the same pattern my mother used for mine. I am going to give it to her as a fall solstice present.
Diana.
Cloak sound great. I agree you should not need to wash the fabric for that.
You making a cloak reminds me of the movie Step Mom when the mother makes a Magicians cloak for her son, and a quilt for her daughter, with photos quilted into it. I love that movie always planned on making quilts like that for my kids.

I bought my first antique Singer treadle-machine when I was 14, and learned to sew with that, much to the Chagrin of my parents.......Then I bought a regular Electric a few years later. Now I still have an old treadle machine, and a Singer feather weight.
Ok I'm Jealous, would love one of those antique machines. Would look great in my house too, Old cottagy weatherboard place.
I have done a little machine quilting, but would love to someday make a quilt completely from scratch, all hand-stitched.
Would love to make a quilt too, will machine stitch it though, dont have the patience for hand stitching. Never had the time though. Now I no longer waste my time at meetings etc. will have the time now. Will definately have to get my sewing room organised again.
Would love to see some of your quilts.
Any body else done any quilting, would love to see them.
i would like to introduce myself, i am a former member of the way international.
i came here from a link that refiner posted at a board for ex-way people that i occassionally read.
i was hoping to be able to join a few discussions.
Hello and welcome to the board.

I always wash fabric according to the washing directions fof that type of fabric. If you can I always dry it in the drier too. I use my drier a lot. I like to be safe, i figue if i'm going to go to all that effort to make something then I don't want it to shrink the first time I wash it.
I mostly do sewing for my kids so all the material for them needs to be pre shrunk first. I always buy a bit more than the pattern recomends to allow for shrinkage, it's amazing how much some fabrics shrink.
Ohio: you sew, amazing I'm tottaly in love. LOL.
