  new here but looking forward to joining in some of the discussions with you all.. a small bit about me: i'm shane.

  was raised as a jw in the uk by my mum (single parent family) from about 2 years of age.

  got baptised at 15 for all the wrong reasons.

  I thought it might be cancer. Brent is still alive isn't he? I wonder if they mentioned Jean was a brilliant artist. Unless I misunderstood what Brent told me when they stayed with us she did it professionally before she started pioneering.

  They're one of my favourites LisaRose. So beautiful in the woods I wanted them in my garden. I hope they come back they were full of seeds.

  That's very young these days. Very sad. Was it an illness?

  Must be an iPad thing it worked when I used my daughter's lap top. First pic is my garden in May this year and second is some foxglove seeds I grew last year which flowered this year. I've shaken the seed heads really well so I hope they self seed.

  I've tried Heaven but I can't get it to upload from the pictures on my iPad and my desk top is poorly, I think I need a new one.

  When I upload a 'moments' photo from my iPad to this site it loads into the Have your say.... box, I can see it, but I just can't post it. The post reply button just won't work.

  My Book, 'Gifts in Men', by Patricia F.Sadio

  another member on here announced the publication of my new book "gifts in men, a heavier responsibility" a couple of months ago and some of you asked who i was as to my authenticity and motives.

  i have had an amazing reaction to my book even from jws who know me and my story but were still shocked at the details.

  i was not raised a jw, not disfellowshipped nor disassociated and loved being a regular pioneer, serving in uk and ireland.

  Dubstepped I guess I just don't think my story is interesting enough for anyone to pay for it. Perhaps I am just too lazy or too exhausted to try and write a book. Good luck to those who do. Writing is work after all and deserves a wage. Some people's stories need to be heard.
