Listen in on conversations with former members of the PBCC. Ex-members open a window into Canada's most powerful and influential cult and it's links to the Conservatives, crime, corruption and pedophilia. Discussions peel back the hidden layers within these cults and reveal the real trauma that occurs behind closed doors. Join members on their journey toward understanding, healing and personal development.
The Plymouth Brethren Christian Church pet controversy has now exploded across the world, with headlines in Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Canada and beyond.After reports emerged that a child connected to the Hales family was bitten by a dog, new ministry regarding pets was reportedly read out across the PBCC internationally. Families have been left devastated, terrified and confused as dogs, cats, birds and other pets suddenly became the focus of urgent ministry.But this is not new.Former members still remember the horror of the original anti-pet ministry from the 1960s, when beloved family animals were removed in heartbreaking and often deeply inhumane ways in the name of obedience.And yet, in recent years after COVID, pets had quietly started appearing again in some Brethren homes. Some former members even claim local priests were allowing pets if it helped persuade families to stay inside the church as more people quietly began leaving.So what changed?This episode of Lady Whistleblown's Brethren Dispatch looks at the contradictions, the hypocrisy, the loyalty tests, and the deeper emotional control behind the latest ministry.Why is there emergency global ministry over pets, yet no worldwide emergency readings over child abuse, drink driving, or protecting victims?Why does the Rapid Relief Team publicly promote Cookie the kookaburra as a comforting mascot with stuffed toys and emotional symbolism, while inside the church members are reportedly told that pets are spiritually dangerous and take affection away from “God”?And what did Revelation actually mean when it spoke about “dogs” outside the gates?The deeper you look into this story, the stranger it becomes.#PBCC #PlymouthBrethrenChristianChurch #ExclusiveBrethren #RapidReliefTeam #BruceHales #CultAwareness #LadyWhistleblown #GetALifePodcast
Edmonton lawyer reacts to the horrifying statistics uncovered in Dr. Jill Aebi-Mytton's research into the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church including findings that 41% of former members surveyed reported experiencing (CSA).

Well known Edmonton lawyer, Ian Runkle from the @RunkleOfTheBailey YouTube Channel looked over the claims of Brown Rudnick LLP's client, Rapid Relief Team and laughed! The Rapid Relief Team (RRT) is the charity arm of the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church that recently took a copyright infringement case against this channel. Ian went through this case on his channel and gave some sage advice that all of us are thinking. This didn't just come from anyone! Runkle is also known for his highly successful YouTube and legal commentary channel, Runkle of the Bailey, where he explains Canadian legal issues to the public. Ian is a criminal defence and firearms law specialist who has become widely recognized for his legal analysis on YouTube and major Canadian legal issues. With Ian's permission, we created a shortened highlighted version of his hilarious thoughts on this. Make sure to check out his full video here starting around 2:13:00- https://www.youtube.com/live/1Y8bV_z0Rq8?si=bsmf-LUVNa_HyZ2XWe also give you a new extract of the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church's written ministry from their Man Of God, Bruce Hales banning his members from watching rubbish of the opposers, like Get A Life Podcast. We aren't sure what they are smoking in there as this ministry clearly proves the intended censorship they were proving with all the DMCA takedown notices and lawsuit!Link for insiders- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/2htbry5eea1887lpmqsj6/RRT-Podcast-with-Ian.mp4?rlkey=gg5vklbjcmnj0zjpk846w31a2&st=loqcizr8&dl=0Link to GOFUNDME for legal suit against Cheryl and the Get a Life podcast- https://gofund.me/e976c9d77To share your story or be a guest on the show, email info.getalife@proton.meGet a Life Paypal donations -https://www.paypal.me/getalifepodcastGet a Life GoFundMe-https://gofund.me/614bcd06Olive Leaf Network- https://oliveleaf.network/Thinking of Leaving Pamphlet and resources - https://oliveleaf.network/resources/Link to Anchor/Spotify- https://open.spotify.com/show/4GhNv1hZp6tjfLyA4s6PMu?si=Gs5euyWpT4y7lOS8OTe4XAPreston Down Trust Decision-https://www.gov.uk/government/news/commission-publishes-report-on-the-preston-down-trustAberdeen incident- https://drive.google.com/file/d/1riImgAqwaqGwjYq6vRQIr4_jscJA0eQN/view?usp=drive_linkIf we walk in the light letters-https://drive.google.com/file/d/14WlgJladl1r95YGxW0FbZ0prYfjlg7FU/view?usp=sharingAdmin/Legal email address:stouffvillelegal-gal@protonmail.comOffice address:22 Braid BendStouffville ONL4A 1R7#plymouthbrethrenchristianchurch #pbcc #abuse #church #cult #religion #trauma #religioustrauma #sexualabuse #mindcontrol #brainwashing #conversation #exmembers #exposingtruth #expose #exposure #whistleblower #getalifepodcast #getalife #podcast #rules #strict #exclusivebrethren #brucehales #BruceHales #BDH #BruceDHales #UniversalBusinessTeam #UBT #RRT #RapidReliefTeam #Aberdeen #OneSchoolGlobal #OSG #johnhales #shutup #withdrawnfrom #worldly #excommunicate #assemblydeath #christiansect #christiancult #canadiancult #canadiansect #sect #worldwidesect #worldwidecult #cultescape #cultescapestory #bully #bullying #brokenfamily #awareness #cultescape #cultandculturepodcast #cultescapee #cultescapeer #cultescapeeinterview #askingforhelp #unispace
Attorney Marc Randazza breaks down a classic legal miscalculation on @excitedutterance : foreign entities trying to use the American court system to silence dissent, only to be met with the full force of the First Amendment. Randazza explains why he openly shares his legal filings, hoping others will steal them and how Section 107 of the Copyright Act serves as a fierce shield against those attempting to weaponize intellectual property law to stifle free expression. It is a masterclass in jurisdictional karma and why American constitutional law is a force to be reckoned with.Link to full podcast on @excitedutterance- https://lnkd.in/g7zV7qYq#plymouthbrethrenchristianchurch #PBCC #rapidreliefteam #OneSchoolGlobal #exclusivebrethren #cultawareness
This little kitten was healthy, loved, and part of someone's family.Now she's dead because a group of religious men decided pets might “take affection away from God.”Since releasing information about the PBCC pet ban, I've received messages and phone calls from devastated people all over the world. Former members, current members, and families completely shattered over what is happening to animals inside this cult.These are not dangerous animals. They are companion pets. Cats that helped people through anxiety. Dogs that gave lonely people comfort and routine. Animals that became part of the family.And now people are being put under enormous pressure to get rid of them.What kind of religion demands obedience over compassion? What kind of leadership thinks they have the right to interfere in the bond between people and their pets?This video is not about attacking ordinary PBCC members. Many of them are heartbroken over this. This is about exposing the cruelty and control of leadership that believes it can dictate every part of a person's life — right down to whether they are allowed to love an animal.If you work in animal welfare, rescue, veterinary care, mental health, cult recovery, or the media, please pay attention to this story and help us get the word out.Please share this video everywhere.Admin/Legal email address:stouffvillelegal-gal@protonmail.comOffice address:22 Braid BendStouffville ONL4A 1R7#plymouthbrethrenchristianchurch #pbcc #abuse #church #cult #religion #trauma #religioustrauma #sexualabuse #mindcontrol #brainwashing #conversation #exmembers #exposingtruth #expose #exposure #whistleblower #getalifepodcast #getalife #podcast #rules #strict #exclusivebrethren #brucehales #BruceHales #BDH #BruceDHales #UniversalBusinessTeam #UBT #RRT #RapidReliefTeam #Aberdeen #OneSchoolGlobal #OSG #johnhales #shutup #withdrawnfrom #worldly #excommunicate #assemblydeath #christiansect #christiancult #canadiancult #canadiansect #sect #worldwidesect #worldwidecult #cultescape #cultescapestory #bully #bullying #brokenfamily #awareness #cultescape #cultandculturepodcast #cultescapee #cultescapeer #cultescapeeinterview #askingforhelp #unispace#plymouthbrethrenchristianchurch #PBCC #exclusivebrethren #rapidreliefteam #OneSchoolGlobal #cultawareness #brucehales #animalwelfare #animalrescue #saveanimals
The weaponization of copyright law creates a dangerous precedent for free speech. Legal expert Marc Randazza breaks down a concerning case on @Excitedutterance where copyright claims are allegedly used as a distraction to silence critics. If this legal theory succeeds, it could turn courts into hubs for censorship, allowing entities to suppress critical reporting simply by claiming copyright infringement on incidental imagery, like logos appearing in news photos. This discussion highlights the absurdity of current arguments and the potential chilling effect on investigative journalism and public accountability.Link to full podcast- https://lnkd.in/g7zV7qYq#plymouthbrethrenchristianchurch #exclusivebrethren #PBCC #rapidrelieft
The Rapid Relief Team and the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church picked the wrong person to try and silence.This video is a direct update on the lawsuit filed against me after Get-a-Life Podcast exposed material they desperately wanted gone. Their lawyers demanded videos be removed. They expected fear, compliance, silence, and another former member pushed back into a corner. That didn't happen.Marc Randazza has now filed my defence, a counterclaim against RRT for misrepresentation, and an injunction application to force the immediate restoration of the deleted videos. Their censorship campaign now sits on the public record for everyone to see.The truth is simple - this case was never really about copyright. It was about control.The PBCC spent decades controlling every part of people's lives. Speech. Friendships. Family. Information. Fear became normal inside that system. Now they are trying to drag that same culture of intimidation into the public square through expensive lawyers and legal threats.We are pushing back.This fight matters far beyond me personally. Former members all over the world rely on Get-a-Life Podcast for support, recovery, information, and proof they are not alone. That is now becoming part of the legal case itself. Former members are preparing a public interest intervention so the court hears directly from people whose lives have been helped by this work.The stakes are enormous.If powerful organisations can weaponise copyright law to erase criticism and survivor testimony, every independent creator speaking about abuse, coercion, religion, or cults becomes vulnerable.We need help to keep going.Legal filings, injunction applications, responses, and court preparation cost huge amounts of money even with discounted legal support. Every donation helps keep this case alive. Every share helps spread the word. Every public voice makes it harder for them to bury this quietly.If you believe survivors should have the right to speak openly about what happened to them :If you believe wealthy organisations should not be allowed to edit public criticism through legal intimidation, If you believe high-control groups should finally face scrutiny, please support and share this fundraiser.Stand with us in the fight for free speech:Legal Fund: https://gofund.me/a8b1346c3Case Details & Hearing Info: https://randazza.com/lawsuits/rapid-relief-team-v-cheryl-bawtinheimer/Share your story to assist this case: info.getalife@proton.meWe're taking the power back and leaving a door open for those still inside!Admin/Legal email address:stouffvillelegal-gal@protonmail.comOffice address:22 Braid BendStouffville ONL4A 1R7#plymouthbrethrenchristianchurch #pbcc #abuse #church #cult #religion #trauma #religioustrauma #sexualabuse #mindcontrol #brainwashing #conversation #exmembers #exposingtruth #expose #exposure #whistleblower #getalifepodcast #getalife #podcast #rules #strict #exclusivebrethren #brucehales #BruceHales #BDH #BruceDHales #UniversalBusinessTeam #UBT #RRT #RapidReliefTeam #Aberdeen #OneSchoolGlobal #OSG #johnhales #shutup #withdrawnfrom #worldly #excommunicate #assemblydeath #christiansect #christiancult #canadiancult #canadiansect #sect #worldwidesect #worldwidecult #cultescape #cultescapestory #bully #bullying #brokenfamily #awareness #cultescape #cultandculturepodcast #cultescapee #cultescapeer #cultescapeeinterview #askingforhelp #unispace
When a controversial church organization like the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church and Rapid Relief Team attempts to silence a sexual abuse survivor, the battleground takes a bizarre turn. Instead of addressing serious allegations, the organization initiates a lawsuit over a cartoon kookaburra logo used in a podcast. This legal maneuver highlights the intimidation tactics often used against victims who attempt to share their stories. By focusing on copyright claims, they hope to stem the tide of survivors coming forward, but this transparent attempt to bury the truth raises more questions than it answers.Cheryl Bawtinheimer's lawyer, Marc Randazza, joins @excitedutterance and discuss the insanity of this case and go over the Channel 10 news report segment on this.Link to full video- https://www.youtube.com/live/imW7jMKZoDU?si=aCT_bK4WBu_RlClk#legaljustice #podcastclips #awareness #whistleblower #mediaethics #humanrights #truthmatters #plymouthbrethrenchristianchurch #exclusivebrethren #pbcc #rapidreliefteam #oneschoolglobal #cultawareness #cult
The legal battle between a major organization like the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church's Charity arm, Rapid Relief Team and an independent creator highlights a troubling trend: using intellectual property claims to silence speech rather than protect creativity. This breakdown explores the reality of a massive firm, Brown Rudnick, targeting a Canadian channel, Get A Life Podcast, over fair use, specifically regarding a controversial logo. The commentary shines a light on how some entities exploit copyright systems to suppress criticism about sensitive social issues, framing these actions as mere retaliation for bruised egos rather than legitimate legal grievances. It is a sharp critique of how big-money litigation is weaponized against free expression, contrasting real copyright enforcement with the cynical abuse of the legal process to bully critics.Link to full video on @Excitedutterance - https://www.youtube.com/live/imW7jMKZoDU?si=Oil8vKTlvn7mdFJRLink to Marc Randazza website with ALL the info-https://randazza.com/lawsuits/rapid-relief-team-v-cheryl-bawtinheimer/#plymouthbrethrenchristianchurch #rapidreliefteam #exclusivebrethren #PBCC #OneSchoolGlobal #cullt #cultaawareness #BruceHales #FairUse #CopyrightLaw #FreedomOfSpeech #LegalCommentary
CLIP 2- An unfiltered look at a unique legal battle where Cheryl's lawyer, Marc Randazza, fights back against aggressive DMCA takedowns with his own custom graphics and sharp legal arguments. This breakdown that happened on the @Excitedutterance dives into the complexities of copyright law, the frustration of systemic abuse by major firms, and the uphill climb of using Section 512(f) to hold lawyers accountable for misuse of the system. It is a bold stand against corporate overreach and a deep dive into the practical failures of intellectual property protection in the modern digital age. The Plymouth Brethren Christian Church are known for their aggressive litigation, even when it doesn't make sense!

Marc Randazza joined @Excitedutterance and dives into a compelling legal battle involving Rapid Relief team and the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church, accused of controlling every aspect of its members' lives. When individuals leave this exclusive group, they often lose everything—their jobs, family, and social circles. Now, the organization is attempting to use copyright claims against those speaking out about their experiences, specifically targeting the use of their charity's logo in critical commentary.

Breaking news – Exclusive Brethren boss orders 50,000 members to dispose of their pets! An edict from the Brethren's Sydney HQ was read out in all 300+ Plymouth Brethren Christian Church congregations globally on Saturday (May 2nd 2026), banning pet ownership by members. Cats, dogs, birds, rats and mice were all mentioned as being spiritually ‘unclean' animals, and members were ordered to “uphold the words of the great leaders” who originally instigated the ‘pet ban' in 1964.The PBCC is the cult depicted so effectively in Netflix's Unchosen drama – and the truth is just as strange and horrific as the movie.History shows this will end very badly for thousands of cats, dogs, hamsters and guinea pigs globally. We expose harrowing stories of the mass slaughter of pets after the original 1964 edict, from both contemporary newspapers and from former members who witnessed their pets being killed – some by euthanasia, and some by cruel and amateurish brutality. We point out the dark hypocrisy of the PBCC's PR podcasts that depict members as happy pet-owning animal lovers while secretly ordering a cull of cats and dogs.Next time you see the cheerful red tents and uniformed “volunteers” of the PBCC's Rapid Relief Team charity, with their slogan of ‘Care and Compassion' – just remember what dirty secrets hide behind that lie.Link for insiders-https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/plllkj9ou2meonrt86q61/45000-169.mp4?rlkey=1jrctsnyey2099j4zcxzmoszh&st=qq8dw618&dl=0Link to GOFUNDME for legal suit against Cheryl and the Get a Life podcast- https://gofund.me/e976c9d77To share your story or be a guest on the show, email info.getalife@proton.meGet a Life Paypal donations -https://www.paypal.me/getalifepodcastGet a Life GoFundMe-https://gofund.me/614bcd06Olive Leaf Network- https://oliveleaf.network/Thinking of Leaving Pamphlet and resources - https://oliveleaf.network/resources/Link to Anchor/Spotify- https://open.spotify.com/show/4GhNv1hZp6tjfLyA4s6PMu?si=Gs5euyWpT4y7lOS8OTe4XAPreston Down Trust Decision-https://www.gov.uk/government/news/commission-publishes-report-on-the-preston-down-trustAberdeen incident- https://drive.google.com/file/d/1riImgAqwaqGwjYq6vRQIr4_jscJA0eQN/view?usp=drive_linkIf we walk in the light letters-https://drive.google.com/file/d/14WlgJladl1r95YGxW0FbZ0prYfjlg7FU/view?usp=sharingAdmin/Legal email address:stouffvillelegal-gal@protonmail.comOffice address:22 Braid BendStouffville ONL4A 1R7#plymouthbrethrenchristianchurch #pbcc #abuse #church #cult #religion #trauma #religioustrauma #sexualabuse #mindcontrol #brainwashing #conversation #exmembers #exposingtruth #expose #exposure #whistleblower #getalifepodcast #getalife #podcast #rules #strict #exclusivebrethren #brucehales #BruceHales #BDH #BruceDHales #UniversalBusinessTeam #UBT #RRT #RapidReliefTeam #Aberdeen #OneSchoolGlobal #OSG #johnhales #shutup #withdrawnfrom #worldly #excommunicate #assemblydeath #christiansect #christiancult #canadiancult #canadiansect #sect #worldwidesect #worldwidecult #cultescape #cultescapestory #bully #bullying #brokenfamily #awareness #cultescape #cultandculturepodcast #cultescapee #cultescapeer #cultescapeeinterview #askingforhelp #unispace
Chris Shelton joins us and we put Scientology next to the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church and hold them there long enough for the similarities to speak for themselves. Two groups with no shared origin still enforce the same rules in real life — leaders set the line, members repeat it, and anyone who steps out risks losing family, work, and every tie that makes life stable.The control runs through daily life. The PBCC enforces separation from the outside world and backs it with the threat of being cut off. Scientology runs its own system of discipline and disconnection and applies it when someone refuses to comply. Each group limits what members can read, who they can speak to, and how they spend their time, and each group keeps people inside a tight social and economic loop where dissent carries a clear cost.We line up the public face and the gap becomes impossible to ignore. Scientology sends out Volunteer Ministers in bright yellow shirts, hands out supplies, and films the work because the footage feeds back into the church's image. The PBCC runs Rapid Relief Team with the same intent — uniformed crews, branded trucks, staged events, and a steady stream of content that sells goodwill to the outside world. Inside the same organizations, members face strict control, loss of contact with family, and pressure to conform, and the charity work helps shield that reality by giving leaders a public defence when critics speak.Chris brings 27 years inside Scientology, we bring lived experience from the Brethren, and the comparison stays grounded in what people do to each other — who gets cut off, who gets silenced, who gets held in place. Different names, same cruel, self serving and malicious persecution of dissenters and whistleblowers.Link for insiders- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/2h7kontn1y9m0m43w5bzr/45000-168.mp4?rlkey=dy4dnvj3dhmunivqbiggsc0nw&st=1yiv9hik&dl=0Link to Chris Shelton's YouTube Channel-https://youtube.com/@chrissheltonmsc?si=a8QDAVAbjhB1A1auLink to GOFUNDME for legal suit against Cheryl and the Get a Life podcast- https://gofund.me/e976c9d77To share your story or be a guest on the show, email info.getalife@proton.meGet a Life Paypal donations -https://www.paypal.me/getalifepodcastGet a Life GoFundMe-https://gofund.me/614bcd06Olive Leaf Network- https://oliveleaf.network/Thinking of Leaving Pamphlet and resources - https://oliveleaf.network/resources/Link to Anchor/Spotify- https://open.spotify.com/show/4GhNv1hZp6tjfLyA4s6PMu?si=Gs5euyWpT4y7lOS8OTe4XAPreston Down Trust Decision-https://www.gov.uk/government/news/commission-publishes-report-on-the-preston-down-trustAberdeen incident- https://drive.google.com/file/d/1riImgAqwaqGwjYq6vRQIr4_jscJA0eQN/view?usp=drive_linkIf we walk in the light letters-https://drive.google.com/file/d/14WlgJladl1r95YGxW0FbZ0prYfjlg7FU/view?usp=sharingAdmin/Legal email address:stouffvillelegal-gal@protonmail.comOffice address:22 Braid BendStouffville ONL4A 1R7#plymouthbrethrenchristianchurch #pbcc #abuse #church #cult #religion #trauma #religioustrauma #sexualabuse #mindcontrol #brainwashing #conversation #exmembers #exposingtruth #expose #exposure #whistleblower #getalifepodcast #getalife #podcast #rules #strict #exclusivebrethren #brucehales #BruceHales #BDH #BruceDHales #UniversalBusinessTeam #UBT #RRT #RapidReliefTeam #Aberdeen #OneSchoolGlobal #OSG #johnhales #shutup #withdrawnfrom #worldly #excommunicate #assemblydeath #christiansect #christiancult #canadiancult #canadiansect #sect #worldwidesect #worldwidecult #cultescape #cultescapestory #bully #bullying #brokenfamily #awareness #cultescape #cultandculturepodcast #cultescapee #cultescapeer #cultescapeeinterview #askingforhelp #unispace
A lead investigator drove four hours to Maple Creek to speak to the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church about abuse allegations.He knocked on doors. No one answered.He went to Tim Bond's business. “In a meeting.”He came back. Tim unavailable.A week later — still nothing.This is the same church that says it “abhors abuse” and “fully cooperates with police.” The same leadership telling members to come forward and assist investigations.Then the police actually show up… and suddenly no one's available.At some point, the statements stop mattering.

This video compares real footage of a Plymouth Brethren Christian Church meeting hall in London with scenes from the Netflix series Unchosen. What shows up isn't a vague resemblance — it's a direct match.Watch closely and you'll see it — a large sliding partition wall opening from the centre, three sets of double doors moving as one, revealing a hidden tiered auditorium behind it. That layout isn't common. You don't see it in typical churches or public halls. It's specific to PBCC meeting halls.And yet it appears in Unchosen — same mechanism, same structure, same architectural logic. This isn't a generic “cult aesthetic.” It's a very specific design being recreated.Netflix presents Unchosen as fiction. But when the physical space matches a real-world organisation this closely, the conclusion is obvious.Unchosen isn't just inspired by groups like the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church — it mirrors them, right down to the buildings.Links to articles on this-The times- https://www.thetimes.com/culture/tv-radio/article/asa-butterfield-interview-know-the-next-big-thing-is-just-around-the-corner-hfg6h7rkthttps://archive.ph/Kt61DDaily Mail- https://www.dailymail.co.uk/lifestyle/article-15735243/Film-star-11-Bafta-winner-20-Netflix-sensation-28-MOLLY-WINDSOR-discusses-sex-secrets-sinister-cults-ahead-starring-role-hotly-anticipated-new-thriller-Unchosen.htmlhttps://archive.is/OR6dSTopics covered:Unchosen Netflix series explainedPlymouth Brethren Christian Church (PBCC)Cult architecture and control environmentsPBCC meeting hall designReal vs fictional cult comparisonsIs Unchosen based on a real cult?About the channel:Get A Life Podcast — survivor-led conversations exposing life inside the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church and other high-control groups.Keywords Plymouth Brethren Christian Church, PBCC, Unchosen Netflix, is Unchosen based on real cult, PBCC meeting hall, cult architecture, religious cults UK, Netflix cult series, Asa Butterfield Unchosen, Molly Windsor Unchosen, ex cult survivor, high control groups, cult exposure#Unchosen #PBCC #Netflix #CultExposed #PlymouthBrethren #plymouthbrethrenchristianchurch #rapidreliefteam #oneschoolglobal #exclusivebrethren #brucehales #ubt #cult #cultawareness #csasurvivor #metoopbcc
In this issue of Lady Whistleblown's Brethren Dispatch, we look at a question that has remained unanswered for years — where are the teachers?For decades, teachers working within OneSchool Global and Brethren schools have been in a unique position — outside the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church, yet close enough to see what happens inside. Many former students have now spoken out about their experiences, but far less has been heard from those who taught them.That may be starting to change.We've begun receiving information and testimonies from current and former teachers, raising serious questions about contracts, expectations, and what has been known — and kept quiet — over many years.This video explores those questions, and why the silence may be breaking now.#plymouthbrethrenchristianchurch #pbcc #exclusivebrethren #oneschoolglobal #rapidreliefteam #cult #cultawareness #brucehales
Lee Admiraal and his father Myles Admiraal are prominent Plymouth Brethren Christian Church elders and also directors of the large USA business Synergi LLC who sell architectural hardware, stairs and railings. Lee Admiraal and his wife Tami Admiraal have been recently touted as the ideal Plymouth Brethren Christian Church couple in a podcast called "Lee and Tami Admiraal - peaceful pathway" The podcast was used to slander and belittle Lee's brother Lane, who left the PBCC after being physically and sexually abused by PBCC members in Montreal.The podcast DID NOT MENTION that Lee Admiraal and Myles Admiraal were convicted of homophobic hate crimes and ordered to pay $10,000 in restitution to the gay couple they terrorized. Their crimes included shouting "Fucking faggots!" at the couple as they drove by, threats of violence, and throwing fireworks and toilet rolls at their house. In court, Lee explained that his treatment of the gay couple was because he as a member of the brethren and so disapproved of their lifestyle.Link for insiders- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ww9awivhr2dag7b0ojidb/45000114-2.mp4?rlkey=w8shn1ehhkwg2ws1gutonbfus&st=s58slg0v&dl=0Link to articles and court docs-https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/c3n6qex94dddwgfet3edw/APll6vczfUdU1KzDd9pjcfg?rlkey=nk4u9p0pr3eueyc5b9469prkn&st=si7eeyn1&dl=0https://montrealgazette.com/news/gay-rights-activist-makes-pointe-claire-council-bid/https://epaper.montrealgazette.com/search?query=niemi&in=ALL&date=Range&start=2007-08-01&stop=2007-08-02&hideSimilar=0&type=2&state=2Court Docs- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/jrmjktw3zz74xdgcywdb6/TDPQ-Wouters-Thibault-05-08-1-1.pdf?rlkey=q46ijqfzlkf0o10alaw973t2s&st=xq7bnzwa&dl=0Admin/Legal email address:Stouffville-GAL@protonmail.comOffice address:22 Braid BendStouffville ONL4A 1R7#plymouthbrethrenchristianchurch #pbcc #abuse #church #cult #religion #trauma #religioustrauma #sexualabuse #mindcontrol #brainwashing #conversation #exmembers #exposingtruth #expose #exposure #whistleblower #getalifepodcast #getalife #podcast #rules #strict #exclusivebrethren #brucehales #BruceHales #BDH #BruceDHales #UniversalBusinessTeam #UBT #RRT #RapidReliefTeam #Aberdeen #OneSchoolGlobal #OSG #johnhales #shutup #withdrawnfrom #worldly #excommunicate #assemblydeath #christiansect #christiancult #canadiancult #canadiansect #sect #worldwidesect #worldwidecult #cultescape #cultescapestory #bully #bullying #brokenfamily #awareness #cultescape #cultandculturepodcast #cultescapee #cultescapeer #cultescapeeinterview #askingforhelp #shunning
Assholes, stalkers, pervs, trolls and censorious bullies – the favorite prey of Cheryl's hungry pack of lawyers - and they already have their teeth into the tender parts of the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church's hypocritical PR charity, Rapid Relief Team. Join us for a rundown on the astonishing events of the past fortnight, as the Rapid Relief Team's malicious and dishonest attack is turned round and the PBCC get a hefty dose of their own medicine. We dig into the PBCC's history of vicious SLAPPS and censorship, and show that the morally bankrupt Brown Rudnick lawyers Charlotte Harris, and her shameless sidekick, Katy-Jade Church are the perps in this callous scheme, as in many other cold-blooded attacks on ex-members previously. We take a look at renowned copyright expert and university professor Michal Graif, who is still struggling to understand the basic IP concept of “fair use”. Finally, we invite you join us by Zoom in the California courtroom, where the first episode of this True Crime drama will play out.

There's a story being pushed right now inside the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church about a man who's come back after 30 years. They're calling it a “prodigal son” moment. A return and a success story.But that's not what this is.Those 30 years weren't just him being “lost.” What happened to him started inside, with abuse he experienced before he ever left. What came after that... the addiction, the violence, the brain injury... didn't come out of nowhere.And through all of that, no one went looking for him. No one stepped in. No one helped. Now suddenly, he's back and it's being celebrated. Publicly! Like something has been restored. But he's going back into the same environment. The same people. Nothing has been dealt with.So the question is pretty simple — where was all of this care when it actually mattered?#plymouthbrethrenchristianchurch #exclusivebrethren #pbcc #rapidreliefteam #oneschoolglobal #brucehales #cultawareness #cult
Unzip My Body isn't just a poem. It's what happens when someone is pushed past the point of staying quiet.This comes from real experience inside the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church—a system where silence is expected, questions are shut down, and people learn very quickly what happens if they speak. When there's no space to tell the truth, the body holds it instead. Every second. Every reaction. Every memory that never got acknowledged.People love to ask for proof. They want timelines, reports, something neat and easy to understand. But that's not how this works. Trauma doesn't show up like that. It lives in your body. It shows up in the way you react, the way you freeze, the things you can't explain but feel every day.This poem is a refusal to play that game. It's not about convincing anyone anymore. It's about saying it out loud, exactly as it is.And it's not just about me. There are so many people still inside environments like this—still silent, still carrying things they were never allowed to name.At some point, someone has to say it. #plymouthbrethrenchristianchurch #exclusivebrethren #pbcc #calltoaction #cult #cultawareness #brucehales #rapidreliefteam #oneschoolglobal
Inside the PBCC, when abuse happens, it doesn't get dealt with properly. It gets turned around, and you grow up being taught that if something went wrong, it must somehow be your fault. Even when you were a kid and had no power in the situation. That shame sticks, and it's used to keep people quiet.And if you don't stay quiet, there are consequences. People get pushed out, cut off, talked about. Right now there are people who have come forward and aren't even being allowed access to a psychologist. That alone should tell you what's going on.This isn't just a few bad situations. It's how it works. Protect the image, protect the institution, and deal with anyone who threatens that.Something has to change. People deserve to be able to speak without losing everything. They deserve proper support, access to therapy of their choice, and real accountability.
This clip is from a conversation with Dawson, describing what it was like as a kid when Bruce Hales came to his house. Weeks of chaos for a two-hour visit. The house had to be inspected. A brand new chair bought just for him. The garage cleared so no one could see him arrive. Everyone silent when he walked in. And as a kid, you're just sitting there thinking… who is this guy?But it didn't stop there. Within days, decisions he made started affecting whole families — businesses, where people lived, even people's names. All based on whatever he said in the moment. Dawson talks about what that actually felt like growing up around it — not the polished version people outside see, but the reality inside the house.

This issue of Lady Whistleblown's Brethren Dispatch examines the growing controversy surrounding the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church (PBCC) and their involvement in the Australian election.While public statements suggest their actions were simply a reaction to being labelled a “cult,” a very different story is emerging—one of coordination, planning, and a narrative carefully crafted after the fact.Insider testimony and audio raise serious questions about whether this was ever a spontaneous response at all… or something far more deliberate.As scrutiny intensifies and investigations unfold, one thing becomes clear:this is not a story that will quietly disappear.
⚠️ Content warning: This episode discusses child sexual abuse and trauma. This episode is one of the most important conversations we've had.We are joined by psychologist and survivor Maria Esguerra, alongside Gilly and Cheryl, to talk openly about child sexual abuse, trauma, and the reality of growing up in high-control groups and cults.This isn't an easy conversation to have but it's an important one. What you're about to hear brings together both professional insight and lived experience. It's a conversation grounded in real stories, but also informed by the clinical understanding of trauma and abuse.We break down:-What child sexual abuse actually is (and what many people misunderstand)-Why so many survivors question: “Does what happened to me count?”-How grooming, authority, and coercion replace obvious violence-The lifelong impact of trauma, shame, and silence-Why survivors often don't come forward and what happens when they do-How cult environments make abuse harder to recognize, report, and stopIf you're a survivor, I want you to know this: you are not alone. What you feel makes sense. Your reactions, your confusion, your pain, it all comes from something real. And none of what happened was your fault.If this isn't your experience, I ask you to listen with care. Try to understand, even if it's uncomfortable. Real change starts when people are willing to truly hear and see what others have been through.Link for insiders- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/iszzq45kcy124aptjxjsy/45000-166.mp4?rlkey=4ftuqkmzl22q9qr44f5kfmav6&st=ski8rj0b&dl=0Link to Maria's research-https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1kQdYXUFKGqnxsp4nPVna-9hbwFFzAwVT?usp=sharingLink to Maria and Miriam's Victoria's parliament inquiry- https://youtu.be/EH7EGn5xBNk?si=6Mdy5yHs7X6lL6_GLink to Luke Hollis-https://www.acc.co.nz/newsroom/stories/acc-scholarship-history-of-abuse-motivates-researchhttps://openaccess.wgtn.ac.nz/articles/thesis/Resilience_through_Vulnerability_Post-Disclosure_Trajectories_of_Male_Childhood_Sexual_Abuse_Survivors/30030229?file=57580285Jill Mytton's ICSA presentation - https://youtu.be/OZ_g8-0j_M4?si=5GXBvLazjV7nd6PaJill Mytton's Submission to the Victoria Parliament Inquiry- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/0plv0gs1glahiwi1lrpyi/173-Dr-Jill-Aebi-Mytton-submission.pdf?rlkey=80m7seu32r0dnq0vths6vtfqs&st=ebj7wwu4&dl=0Link to Cheryl's poem Unzip My Body- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/geqny3fqf4gz3rfgem9h6/Unzip-my-body.mp4?rlkey=irw3j2qcaqvs39klqljb3m4ok&st=a8o8box6&dl=0To share your story or be a guest on the show, email info.getalife@proton.meLink to GOFUNDME for legal suit against Cheryl and the Get a Life podcast- https://gofund.me/e976c9d77Get a Life Paypal donations -https://www.paypal.me/getalifepodcastGet a Life GoFundMe-https://gofund.me/614bcd06Olive Leaf Network- https://oliveleaf.network/Thinking of Leaving Pamphlet and resources - https://oliveleaf.network/resources/Preston Down Trust Decision-https://www.gov.uk/government/news/commission-publishes-report-on-the-preston-down-trustAberdeen incident- https://drive.google.com/file/d/1riImgAqwaqGwjYq6vRQIr4_jscJA0eQN/view?usp=drive_linkIf we walk in the light letters-https://drive.google.com/file/d/14WlgJladl1r95YGxW0FbZ0prYfjlg7FU/view?usp=sharingAdmin/Legal email address:stouffvillelegal-gal@protonmail.comOffice address:22 Braid BendStouffville ONL4A 1R7#plymouthbrethrenchristianchurch #pbcc #abuse #church #cult #religion #trauma #religioustrauma #sexualabuse #mindcontrol #brainwashing #conversation #exmembers #exposingtruth #expose #exposure #whistleblower #getalifepodcast #getalife #podcast #rules #strict #exclusivebrethren #brucehales #BruceHales #BDH #BruceDHales #UniversalBusinessTeam #UBT #RRT #RapidReliefTeam #Aberdeen #OneSchoolGlobal #OSG #johnhales #shutup #withdrawnfrom #worldly #excommunicate #assemblydeath #christiansect #christiancult #canadiancult #canadiansect #sect #worldwidesect #worldwidecult #cult
Peter's journey begins with an anomaly. His lineage into the brethren was an unusual one. It was a pathway into the brethren that that was rare enough to single him out as it was not the accepted norms of becoming a brethren member.As Peter grew up, another truth surfaced – one that he could not hide or pray away. What followed was a life of quiet rebellion against a world where deviation from brethren doctrine was not tolerated, and his very existence in the community became a contradiction.Peter's journey is marked by secrecy, shame, courage and ultimately liberation. Join us as we listen to the story of a boy bought into a closed world, a young man forced to choose between survival and belonging, and a human being who refused to let other define the limits of his life and overcame the mantle of his ‘three crosses' with calmness and dignity.Link for insiders- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/007xnjcbs6rhz1zon5wsc/Peter-Harrison-Podcast.mp4?rlkey=ogh0jf050xsc36w4x23lvis32&st=wg162ivg&dl=0To share your story or be a guest on the show, email info.getalife@proton.meLink to GOFUNDME for legal suit against Cheryl and the Get a Life podcast- https://gofund.me/e976c9d77Get a Life Paypal donations -https://www.paypal.me/getalifepodcastGet a Life GoFundMe-https://gofund.me/614bcd06Olive Leaf Network- https://oliveleaf.network/Thinking of Leaving Pamphlet and resources - https://oliveleaf.network/resources/Link to Anchor/Spotify- https://open.spotify.com/show/4GhNv1hZp6tjfLyA4s6PMu?si=Gs5euyWpT4y7lOS8OTe4XAPreston Down Trust Decision-https://www.gov.uk/government/news/commission-publishes-report-on-the-preston-down-trustAberdeen incident- https://drive.google.com/file/d/1riImgAqwaqGwjYq6vRQIr4_jscJA0eQN/view?usp=drive_linkIf we walk in the light letters-https://drive.google.com/file/d/14WlgJladl1r95YGxW0FbZ0prYfjlg7FU/view?usp=sharingAdmin/Legal email address:stouffvillelegal-gal@protonmail.comOffice address:22 Braid BendStouffville ONL4A 1R7#plymouthbrethrenchristianchurch #pbcc #abuse #church #cult #religion #trauma #religioustrauma #sexualabuse #mindcontrol #brainwashing #conversation #exmembers #exposingtruth #expose #exposure #whistleblower #getalifepodcast #getalife #podcast #rules #strict #exclusivebrethren #brucehales #BruceHales #BDH #BruceDHales #UniversalBusinessTeam #UBT #RRT #RapidReliefTeam #Aberdeen #OneSchoolGlobal #OSG #johnhales #shutup #withdrawnfrom #worldly #excommunicate #assemblydeath #christiansect #christiancult #canadiancult #canadiansect #sect #worldwidesect #worldwidecult #cultescape #cultescapestory #bully #bullying #brokenfamily #awareness #cultescape #cultandculturepodcast #cultescapee #cultescapeer #cultescapeeinterview #askingforhelp #unispace
What happens when a group that does not recruit… suddenly does?In this latest dispatch, Lady Whistleblown turns her attention to a most curious situation within the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church — one where long-standing rules appear to bend, narratives quietly shift, and certain details do not quite align.Whispers within the Ton suggest that the story being presented publicly may not be the full account. Questions have begun to circulate about changing histories, unexpected involvement from within the community, and relationships that may not be as simple as they appear.At the centre of it all are vulnerable children, fractured family connections, and a situation that raises an uncomfortable question:Who are the real victims here?
In this edition of Lady Whistleblown's Brethren Dispatch, society finds itself discussing a most delicate matter — the curious relationship between loyalty and money.Within the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church, loyalty is often spoken of as a spiritual virtue. Yet for years, whispers have circulated suggesting that business opportunities, financial arrangements, and influence sometimes appear to follow those same lines of loyalty.In a tightly connected global community of more than fifty-five thousand members, business networks and personal allegiance can become deeply intertwined. To some observers, the question quietly emerges: where does faith end… and where might financial expectation begin?Naturally, those within the Brethren world insist that these relationships are simply the result of trust and cooperation among members of the community.But when money and loyalty appear in the same conversation, even the most polite drawing rooms of society cannot help but whisper.And when whispers travel far enough…they eventually reach Lady Whistleblown's desk.
A gentle note for anyone concerned about the strong language in this episode: what you hear on this podcast is about a tenth of the language that circulates inside the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church itself. So if the odd f-bomb causes distress, you may wish to prepare yourself accordingly.In Part Two of our conversation, former member Dawson Ching returns to the Get A Life Podcast to speak openly about what it was like growing up inside the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church. Dawson describes life as a teenager in the cult, including his experience attending OneSchool Global, where students are raised in an environment with little exposure to the outside world and often leave without meaningful qualifications. He talks about growing up without music, television, normal friendships, or freedom — and the isolation, bullying, and pressure placed on young people simply for being different.We also confront the culture inside the PBCC, including racism and homophobia that Dawson says were openly normalized. He recounts the group's so-called “cultural food days,” where members dressed up as other nationalities in ways that revealed a disturbing lack of education and awareness — something even Dawson's friends outside the group have described as racism on another level.One of the most unsettling parts of this episode is Dawson's account of what happened when the PBCC's global leader, Bruce Hales, stayed at his family's home in Zürich. Dawson describes the intense preparation required for the visit, the atmosphere surrounding what many treated like a royal arrival, and the immense weight placed on Hales' opinions — remarks that could alter families' lives and leave lasting emotional damage.Dawson also shares how a teacher who showed concern for his safety as a young gay student was later fired, and how a false explanation was given to the students to hide what had really happened.The episode closes with Dawson speaking about the reality of leaving the PBCC, the pain of separation from family, and the life he has rebuilt since. He also introduces a new song born from the trauma and pressure he endured inside the system — a raw reflection on the world created under Bruce Hales' leadership — and offers powerful words for anyone inside the PBCC who may be quietly wondering if there is a way out.Link for insiders- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/6uwmqfpk7dyamygoh5tff/Dawson-part-2.mp4?rlkey=tlye1nljmxkf069dkkd57njoe&st=ek1dm7f8&dl=0To share your story or be a guest on the show, email info.getalife@proton.meLink to GOFUNDME for legal suit against Cheryl and the Get a Life podcast- https://gofund.me/e976c9d77Get a Life Paypal donations -https://www.paypal.me/getalifepodcastGet a Life GoFundMe-https://gofund.me/614bcd06Olive Leaf Network- https://oliveleaf.network/Thinking of Leaving Pamphlet and resources - https://oliveleaf.network/resources/Link to Anchor/Spotify- https://open.spotify.com/show/4GhNv1hZp6tjfLyA4s6PMu?si=Gs5euyWpT4y7lOS8OTe4XAPreston Down Trust Decision-https://www.gov.uk/government/news/commission-publishes-report-on-the-preston-down-trustAberdeen incident- https://drive.google.com/file/d/1riImgAqwaqGwjYq6vRQIr4_jscJA0eQN/view?usp=drive_linkIf we walk in the light letters-https://drive.google.com/file/d/14WlgJladl1r95YGxW0FbZ0prYfjlg7FU/view?usp=sharingAdmin/Legal email address:stouffvillelegal-gal@protonmail.comOffice address:22 Braid BendStouffville ONL4A 1R7#plymouthbrethrenchristianchurch #pbcc #abuse #church #cult #religion #trauma #religioustrauma #sexualabuse #mindcontrol #brainwashing #conversation #exmembers #exposingtruth #expose #exposure #whistleblower #getalifepodcast #getalife #podcast #rules #strict #exclusivebrethren #brucehales #BruceHales #BDH #BruceDHales #UniversalBusinessTeam #UBT #RRT #RapidReliefTeam #Aberdeen #OneSchoolGlobal #OSG
In this edition of Lady Whistleblown's Brethren Dispatch, a most curious spectacle is placed under the lens of polite society.What began as a modest weekly chronicle of whispers has quickly grown into something rather more substantial. As reports accumulate regarding the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church and its charitable arm, the Rapid Relief Team, Lady Whistleblown observes the increasingly elaborate efforts to manage reputation, narrative, and public perception.From legal manoeuvres and carefully orchestrated diversions to a globe-spanning podcast production discussing the virtues of Maple Creek, the story begins to resemble a theatrical performance of remarkable scale.One might almost admire the choreography.Yet when the spectacle becomes quite so elaborate, even the most seasoned observers of society cannot help but raise an eyebrow.Indeed… one might say that even the Devil appears to be taking notes.#plymouthbrethrenchristianchurch #pbcc #exclusivebrethren #maplecreek #cultawareness #cult #brucedhales
In this dispatch, Lady Whistleblown examines disturbing testimony now emerging from within the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church (PBCC) — testimony that some observers have begun referring to as “The PBCC Epstein Files.” A survivor describes years of abuse beginning in childhood within the Brethren community, allegedly involving multiple men in positions of religious authority. The survivor later moved within the orbit of senior PBCC leadership in Sydney, including Bruce Hales, the long-time global leader of the church, and Gareth Hales. The allegations described are now part of an active police investigation into this abuse. As these testimonies begin to surface, questions are growing about the culture of silence, power, and protection within the PBCC — and whether distractions and public controversies are being used to divert attention from far more serious issues. This dispatch explores the allegations, the historical context inside the Brethren movement, and why a growing number of voices believe the full story is only just beginning to emerge.
From the Desk of Lady WhistleblownDearest Gentle Reader…Every society — whether gathered in grand ballrooms or behind far more modest doors — possesses its own peculiar customs, alliances, and whispered intrigues.And where such intrigues exist, there will always be someone observing them.You may think you know where the truth resides. You may believe the stories circulating among polite company. Yet those who watch carefully often discover that the most revealing details are seldom spoken aloud.It is therefore with great delight that this humble correspondent introduces a new series of dispatches arriving from within the social circles of a most curious community.The author of these letters — known to us only as Lady Whistleblown — has chosen to remain anonymous. From her vantage point within the Ton, she has undertaken the delicate task of recording the small hypocrisies, curious coincidences, and remarkable spectacles that polite society might prefer to keep quietly out of sight.Her observations arrive as whispers carried on the breeze… though some may find they echo rather loudly once printed.Readers are, of course, free to decide for themselves whether these matters are scandal, coincidence, or simply the natural comedy of human affairs.But one thing is certain.When Lady Whistleblown writes, society listens.About This Issue:In this inaugural dispatch, Lady Whistleblown examines a most intriguing sequence of events involving the Rapid Relief Team — a charitable organization known for its impressive public presence beneath bright red tents and its well-documented enthusiasm for humanitarian relief.For a few years now, allegations of abuse raised by a former member of the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church circulated quietly in media and online spaces with little apparent legal urgency.Then, quite suddenly, a new concern emerged.Not regarding the allegations themselves… but regarding copyright.More specifically, copyright connected to a video involving a bird.The timing, as Lady Whistleblown observes with some curiosity, has raised a number of eyebrows among attentive observers.And so the first dispatch begins — with the most remarkable of coincidences, and a bird that appears to have fluttered into the centre of a rather larger story.
In this short follow-up video, former Plymouth Brethren member Steve Simmons responds to the growing controversy surrounding the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church (PBCC) and its use of legal action against former members who speak out.Steve urges Brethren members to watch the Get A Life Podcast episode “Corruption Creek”, episode 161, which exposes serious allegations of abuse, cover-ups, and the legal pressure being used against whistleblowers.He raises difficult questions for the church leadership and the Global Advisory Panel:• Why is legal action the first response to criticism?• Why are enormous sums spent protecting the reputation of organizations like the Rapid Relief Team (RRT)?• When criticism arises, should the response be legal action or accountability and compassion?Steve also highlights several cases involving former members who have faced lawsuits, intimidation, or ostracism after speaking out. In this video he references situations involving individuals such as Peter Bishop, Caleb Hall, and senior PBCC leader Bruce Hales, raising questions about the role of leadership and the increasing reliance on legal action within the church.This video is a call for transparency, accountability, and justice.
In Part Two we continue with the chirping and muttering of the Mog, who warmly endorses ICE, and praises Trump's global tarrifs, which ironically, have just been declared illegal and void by the Supreme Court. It is strange to hear Bruce D Hales speaking so authoritatively on the governance of great nations, while his own sorry banana republic collapse around his ears, and to hear him enthusing about punitive tariffs while his scandal-stained UBT is prosecuted for tax evasion.

Richard lays down the facts so clearly you can taste it. There's no hedging, no softening, no dancing around it. He walks through what fair use actually is, calls out the gaslighting coming from the PBCC and their lawyers, and sets the record straight on a SLAPP suit they now appear to be backpedaling from. This isn't outrage for the sake of it — it's someone explaining exactly how it's being twisted. And the mic drop at the end? It says everything. The bigger question is this: how do we get real laws in place to stop this kind of legal abuse?
Today the PBCC published on their website an attempt to justify their heinous actions in suing sexual abuse whistleblower Cheryl. This is her response.

The ATO raid on the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church's HQ took place 2 years ago, and since then, a series of consequences and related events has played out, some in public, and some behind closed doors. Like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, the real picture is a mystery until all these pieces are assembled and that is what Get A Life does for you in this episode. What emerges is three names. Three extremely prominent PBCC leaders whose behavior screams of guilt, and a desperate attempt to evade accountability. We name and shame them.Then we move on to Bruce Hales in person – recordings of a recent fellowship meeting we have obtained, which we will play for you, and offer our commentary on his strange and contradictory ramblings. The profound mutterings of the MOG will be continued on Part 2 of this gripping episode that we have titled “THIEVES”.Link for Insiders- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/t3y5gbssi5aflo6qvxa24/45000-162.mp4?rlkey=pyj6higznc5c2dgvvwhuegqid&st=etwr0zxp&dl=0Link to GOFUNDME for legal suit against Cheryl and the Get a Life podcast- https://gofund.me/e976c9d77Link to articles on ATO raid-https://www.smh.com.au/national/fleecing-the-flock-exclusive-brethren-businesses-raided-by-tax-office-20240321-p5fe6r.htmlhttps://bnnbreaking.com/world/australia/exclusive-brethren-under-tax-office-scrutiny-raid-reveals-potential-financial-misconductTo share your story or be a guest on the show, email info.getalife@proton.meGet a Life Paypal donations -https://www.paypal.me/getalifepodcastGet a Life GoFundMe-https://gofund.me/614bcd06Olive Leaf Network- https://oliveleaf.network/Thinking of Leaving Pamphlet and resources - https://oliveleaf.network/resources/Link to Anchor/Spotify- https://open.spotify.com/show/4GhNv1hZp6tjfLyA4s6PMu?si=Gs5euyWpT4y7lOS8OTe4XAPreston Down Trust Decision-https://www.gov.uk/government/news/commission-publishes-report-on-the-preston-down-trustAberdeen incident- https://drive.google.com/file/d/1riImgAqwaqGwjYq6vRQIr4_jscJA0eQN/view?usp=drive_linkIf we walk in the light letters-https://drive.google.com/file/d/14WlgJladl1r95YGxW0FbZ0prYfjlg7FU/view?usp=sharingAdmin/Legal email address:stouffvillelegal-gal@protonmail.comOffice address:22 Braid BendStouffville ONL4A 1R7#plymouthbrethrenchristianchurch #pbcc #abuse #church #cult #religion #trauma #religioustrauma #sexualabuse #mindcontrol #brainwashing #conversation #exmembers #exposingtruth #expose #exposure #whistleblower #getalifepodcast #getalife #podcast #rules #strict #exclusivebrethren #brucehales #BruceHales #BDH #BruceDHales #UniversalBusinessTeam #UBT #RRT #RapidReliefTeam #Aberdeen #OneSchoolGlobal #OSG #johnhales #shutup #withdrawnfrom #worldly #excommunicate #assemblydeath #christiansect #christiancult #canadiancult #canadiansect #sect #worldwidesect #worldwidecult #cultescape #cultescapestory #bully #bullying #brokenfamily #awareness #cultescape #cultandculturepodcast #cultescapee #cultescapeer #cultescapeeinterview #askingforhelp #unispace
Anke Richter — international journalist, author of Cult Trip, and founder of Decult — delivers a clear and uncompromising message about how high-control groups silence their critics.Before Decult's 2024 cult awareness conference, there was fear about even mentioning the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church because of their reputation for litigation. But the truth was spoken anyway.Anke lays bare the reality survivors face: the shame, the stigma, the loss of privacy, the trauma triggers, the therapy bills — and then the legal threats. Most survivors don't have publishers or lawyers backing them. They speak out alone. And they pay the price.She calls out the brutality of using “big legal guns” against activists and survivors, especially when it comes from charities acting as the PR front of a coercive religious group. Her message is simple: this is about power, intimidation, and silencing. And she will not shut up about it.To every podcaster, YouTuber, and public speaker being bullied for telling the truth — Kia Kaha. Stand tall. Decult stands with you.#Decult #plymouthbrethrenchristianchurch #pbcc #rapidreliefteam #oneschoolglobal #cultawareness #cultescape #cult #csasurvivor
Gilli delivers a direct and unapologetic message to the PBCC. What does the Rapid Relief Team really represent? Compassion or control? Care or cover-up? When abuse is disclosed, we don't see protection. We see intimidation. We see legal threats. We see attempts to silence. Cheryl's case exposes exactly how far they are willing to go to protect their reputation over people.The doors may be closed but the truth isn't anymore.#plymouthbrethrenchristianchurch #PBCC #exclusivebrethren #rapidreliefteam #oneschoolglobal #csasurvivor #cultawareness #cult
https://gofund.me/6968e14d7 - Save Get A Life Legal FundCheryl lays bare the emails, the refusals, and the protection surrounding Alan Drever and the PBCC and why transparency, witnesses and recording were resisted at every turn. Cheryl speaks directly about Alan Drever, and about the testimonies and allegations involving members of his family, including Arden Bond and his sister, Rhonda. Cheryl draws chilling parallels to the Epstein case, exposing the same familiar structure: power protecting power, truth buried under influence, accountability avoided, and perpetrators walking free while victims are forced to carry the damage forever.

This video is addressed directly to the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church. Steve Simmons has been a fierce advocate for Cheryl in her fight for justice, and in this message he says what the PBCC continues to refuse to say themselves. While serious and well-documented allegations remain unanswered, the church has chosen silence and that silence is deliberate. The PBCC has continued to push out carefully staged videos projecting compassion and moral authority while refusing to deal with the harm done in its name. Steve tears through that hypocrisy and calls it exactly what it is: image management instead of accountability. He ends with a clear warning — stop producing any more pathetic videos and deal with this matter. Until there is truth, responsibility, and action, the PBCC has no credibility and nothing worth broadcasting.Link for insiders- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/hc82o3a83ceti9htsbd13/Steve-Simmons-video-for-Lawsuit-against-Cheryl.mp4?rlkey=ov4njpfuq2lwqar6ttm1bx86p&st=o0zzehlj&dl=0
The Plymouth Brethren Christian Church's charitable arm, the Rapid Relief Team (RRT), has launched a legal SLAPP action against Cheryl and the Get A Life podcast. Filed in California, the lawsuit accuses Cheryl of copyright infringement over RRT's “Cookie Bird” cartoon mascot. The claim is false and dishonest — and it serves a far more serious purpose than protecting a cringeworthy cartoon kookaburra.Alan Drever, the Maple Creek PBCC elder accused of sexually abusing and trafficking Cheryl, is also an RRT volunteer. He appears publicly outside Maple Creek Town Hall representing the church and claiming to act in the name of Christian “care and compassion.” After Cheryl obtained a recorded confession from Alan, she wrote directly to PBCC leader Bruce Hales, asking the church to take responsibility for the abuse she suffered inside the cult. No response came from the “Man of God.” What came instead was a lawsuit.The action targets Cheryl personally, but it also targets the Get A Life podcast and by extension, every former PBCC member who has spoken publicly through that platform.In this episode, Cheryl and Richard walk through the full timeline, backed by documentation. This includes the recording of Alan Drever's confession, disturbing historical links involving Dean Hales and Lloyd (Merrick) Grimshaw, and guest contributions from cult expert Anke Richter and ex-PBCC member Steve Simmons, who offer their own unfiltered assessments of what is unfolding. This episode lays out how a corrupt charity responds when a survivor asks for accountability and how the legal system is abused to silence a whistleblower.Link for insiders- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/j1u7egpyqlwgdvneg9mht/45000-160.mp4?rlkey=oysxsiryu449uoeok8pt148ey&st=agnftau0&dl=0Link to Legal documents- https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Vs70rXTmfJBscBPX1gDnIR8mFfUl2cRi/view?usp=sharingLink to Cheryl's podcast on Blackballed- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4_mcx-f4LQCanadaland article- https://www.canadaland.com/plymouth-brethren-christian-church-members-under-rcmp-investigation-for-alleged-sexual-abuse-in-saskatchewan/Link to Mick Dover Audio- https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09-15/exclusive-brethren-plymouth-alleged-abuse-nda-four-corners/105762208Article to Michael Bachelard death threat- https://archive.ph/XMRyVTo share your story or be a guest on the show, email info.getalife@proton.meGet a Life Paypal donations -https://www.paypal.me/getalifepodcastGet a Life GoFundMe-https://gofund.me/614bcd06Olive Leaf Network- https://oliveleaf.network/Thinking of Leaving Pamphlet and resources - https://oliveleaf.network/resources/Link to Anchor/Spotify- https://open.spotify.com/show/4GhNv1hZp6tjfLyA4s6PMu?si=Gs5euyWpT4y7lOS8OTe4XAPreston Down Trust Decision-https://www.gov.uk/government/news/commission-publishes-report-on-the-preston-down-trustAberdeen incident- https://drive.google.com/file/d/1riImgAqwaqGwjYq6vRQIr4_jscJA0eQN/view?usp=drive_linkIf we walk in the light letters-https://drive.google.com/file/d/14WlgJladl1r95YGxW0FbZ0prYfjlg7FU/view?usp=sharingAdmin/Legal email address:stouffvillelegal-gal@protonmail.comOffice address:22 Braid BendStouffville ONL4A 1R7#plymouthbrethrenchristianchurch #pbcc #abuse #church #cult #religion #trauma #religioustrauma #sexualabuse #mindcontrol #brainwashing #conversation #exmembers #exposingtruth #expose #exposure #whistleblower #getalifepodcast #getalife #podcast #rules #strict #exclusivebrethren #brucehales #BruceHales #BDH #BruceDHales #UniversalBusinessTeam #UBT #RRT #RapidReliefTeam #Aberdeen #OneSchoolGlobal #OSG #johnhales #shutup #withdrawnfrom #worldly #excommunicate #assemblydeath #christiansect #christiancult #canadiancult #canadiansect #sect #worldwidesect #worldwidecult #cultescape #cultescapestory #bully #bullying #brokenfamily #awareness #cultescape #cultandculturepodcast #cultescapee #cultescapeer #cultescapeeinterview #askingforhelp #unispace
We continue Jason's story as he leaves the PBCC, then makes a second, painful attempt to go back in, not because the system deserves another chance, but because the pull of family connection is deliberately weaponized by this calculated, coercive cult. The Plymouth Brethren Christian Church knows exactly what it is doing when it severs ex-members from their families, then cloaks that cruelty in polished lies for the outside world. After 159 podcasts, the pattern is unmistakable: every survivor tells a different story, but the damage is always the same. In Part 2, Jason exposes the degrading, psychologically brutal treatment he endured at the hands of the priests as he tried to “make it work,” revealing a culture steeped in control, humiliation, and fear. We confront the disturbing, negligent absence of sex education inside the Brethren and the lifelong consequences that silence creates. Jason also recounts a volatile, confrontational meeting with their so-called “Man of God,” Bruce Hales, following a horrific accident in Argentina, laying bare the cold indifference, unchecked authority, and moral rot that sit at the very top of this organization.Link for insiders- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/dzf986zda0plxt5e5tlsy/45000-159.mp4?rlkey=0ca9wclo1txumlo50ihoqfnv6&st=gzdhtdd0&dl=0To share your story or be a guest on the show, email info.getalife@proton.meGet a Life Paypal donations -https://www.paypal.me/getalifepodcastGet a Life GoFundMe-https://gofund.me/614bcd06Olive Leaf Network- https://oliveleaf.network/Thinking of Leaving Pamphlet and resources - https://oliveleaf.network/resources/Link to Anchor/Spotify- https://open.spotify.com/show/4GhNv1hZp6tjfLyA4s6PMu?si=Gs5euyWpT4y7lOS8OTe4XAPreston Down Trust Decision-https://www.gov.uk/government/news/commission-publishes-report-on-the-preston-down-trustAberdeen incident- https://drive.google.com/file/d/1riImgAqwaqGwjYq6vRQIr4_jscJA0eQN/view?usp=drive_linkIf we walk in the light letters-https://drive.google.com/file/d/14WlgJladl1r95YGxW0FbZ0prYfjlg7FU/view?usp=sharingAdmin/Legal email address:stouffvillelegal-gal@protonmail.comOffice address:22 Braid BendStouffville ONL4A 1R7#plymouthbrethrenchristianchurch #pbcc #abuse #church #cult #religion #trauma #religioustrauma #sexualabuse #mindcontrol #brainwashing #conversation #exmembers #exposingtruth #expose #exposure #whistleblower #getalifepodcast #getalife #podcast #rules #strict #exclusivebrethren #brucehales #BruceHales #BDH #BruceDHales #UniversalBusinessTeam #UBT #RRT #RapidReliefTeam #Aberdeen #OneSchoolGlobal #OSG #johnhales #shutup #withdrawnfrom #worldly #excommunicate #assemblydeath #christiansect #christiancult #canadiancult #canadiansect #sect #worldwidesect #worldwidecult #cultescape #cultescapestory #bully #bullying #brokenfamily #awareness #cultescape #cultandculturepodcast #cultescapee #cultescapeer #cultescapeeinterview #askingforhelp #unispace
Jason Pittock takes us on a journey around the globe, from the leafy London suburbs of Bromley, to the windswept coast of Argentina, and then onward to the very heart of darkness, Bruce Hales' personal interrogation chamber, inside the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church's Australian HQ. Here the so called “Man of God” with the help of his evil sons, “smashes” Jason, in an attempt to render him subject, blindly obedient, and thus “useful” to the cult. This proves to be a momentous and decisive moment in Jason's life, but not in the way that the Elect Vessel intended.But no spoilers – dive right into this visceral and shockingly candid interview to see what happened next.Link for insiders- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/s6w00wcxs7j6hejhzl7n2/45000-158.mp4?rlkey=dpx1nmuach8d5o5s7m8g9b6z7&st=304t2nry&dl=0To share your story or be a guest on the show, email info.getalife@proton.meGet a Life Paypal donations -https://www.paypal.me/getalifepodcastGet a Life GoFundMe-https://gofund.me/614bcd06Olive Leaf Network- https://oliveleaf.network/Thinking of Leaving Pamphlet and resources - https://oliveleaf.network/resources/Link to Anchor/Spotify- https://open.spotify.com/show/4GhNv1hZp6tjfLyA4s6PMu?si=Gs5euyWpT4y7lOS8OTe4XAPreston Down Trust Decision-https://www.gov.uk/government/news/commission-publishes-report-on-the-preston-down-trustAberdeen incident- https://drive.google.com/file/d/1riImgAqwaqGwjYq6vRQIr4_jscJA0eQN/view?usp=drive_linkIf we walk in the light letters-https://drive.google.com/file/d/14WlgJladl1r95YGxW0FbZ0prYfjlg7FU/view?usp=sharingAdmin/Legal email address:stouffvillelegal-gal@protonmail.comOffice address:22 Braid BendStouffville ONL4A 1R7#plymouthbrethrenchristianchurch #pbcc #abuse #church #cult #religion #trauma #religioustrauma #sexualabuse #mindcontrol #brainwashing #conversation #exmembers #exposingtruth #expose #exposure #whistleblower #getalifepodcast #getalife #podcast #rules #strict #exclusivebrethren #brucehales #BruceHales #BDH #BruceDHales #UniversalBusinessTeam #UBT #RRT #RapidReliefTeam #Aberdeen #OneSchoolGlobal #OSG #johnhales #shutup #withdrawnfrom #worldly #excommunicate #assemblydeath #christiansect #christiancult #canadiancult #canadiansect #sect #worldwidesect #worldwidecult #cultescape #cultescapestory #bully #bullying #brokenfamily #awareness #cultescape #cultandculturepodcast #cultescapee #cultescapeer #cultescapeeinterview #askingforhelp #unispace
Content warning: This episode contains discussion of suicidal thoughts.In this episode, Jolie Cooper shares her courageous story of growing up transgender in the Exclusive Brethren/PBCC. What does it mean when you feel like you were born in the wrong body, and how do Brethren priests react when they find out? Jolie, who became a married father with four children, always felt like a woman inside - but it took decades to find her path to being true to who she was, and like so many former members she lost everything when she was withdrawn from. Jolie has no regrets though, and in this inspiring episode she describes how she found her tribe and built a new life as a woman outside the PBCC.Please note: Get A Life offers a non-judgemental place for all leavers to share their stories. We encourage listeners to keep an open mind and listen to what Jolie has to say, and consider her journey with the love and compassion we all deserve. This is not a place for debating the merits of transgender people; anti-trans comments will be deleted, and repeat offenders will be blocked.If you are a current or former member of the PBCC who is struggling with gender identity, please know that you are not alone.

They tell you to give more, host more, sacrifice more while leaders flaunt wealth without apology. In this video, Richard breaks down why insiders are quietly pulling back from entertaining, how status and money have reshaped the culture, and why a pair of $3,300 Louis Vuitton shoes says more than a thousand sermons.
Richard does a very thorough dive on what really happened to cause this exposure. Are the Hales boys to blame? Is it time to really look at who is causing this catastrophe? #plymouthbrethrenchristianchurch #pbcc #exclusivebrethren #oneschoolglobal #rapidreliefteam #ubt #cultescape #cultawareness #cult
When the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church announced an unprecedented Woman's Seminar recently, we were stunned! After 200 years of profound misogyny and exploitation, was the Handmaid's Tale of the Real Housewives of PBCC finally coming to an end? Were women actually being allowed to think, to speak, to make decisions for themselves? Would there be female trustees and directors of ecosystem entities?What would the theme of the Woman's Seminar be? Empowerment? Autonomy? Trusting your feminine instincts? Equality? How to say NO to abusive men? Equal pay in the workplace? Protecting yourself and your children from the PBCC's ubiquitous pedophiles? - or perhaps a more scriptural theme – the Great Women of the Bible – Esther, Ruth, Deborah, the Queen of Sheba?Sadly, the vaunted “Woman's Seminar “ was mostly about…wait for it…The Great Men. Yes, you read that right – a Woman's Seminar all about THE GREAT MEN. How women should utterly submit themselves to these exulted demi-gods, how just a look from their Beedy eyes should reduce every female to trembling submission, and thrilling recollections from a sister of being kissed at age 12 by the lecherous and despicable JTJr.This revolting seminar, highly scripted and doubtless written in its entirety by men, exceeded our worst conjectures. Listen as Andrea, Cassie and Cheryl rip into this heinous piece of coercive cultic crap, and Richard exposes some remarkable and shocking secrets about Dean Hales' shoes.Link for Insiders- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/hpta9ex2owz14zfsynekk/45000-156.mp4?rlkey=jh9h19y64q6jm22k6ml77wmjd&st=zfucjk6i&dl=0To share your story or be a guest on the show, email info.getalife@proton.meGet a Life Paypal donations -https://www.paypal.me/getalifepodcastGet a Life GoFundMe-https://gofund.me/614bcd06Olive Leaf Network- https://oliveleaf.network/Thinking of Leaving Pamphlet and resources - https://oliveleaf.network/resources/Link to Anchor/Spotify- https://open.spotify.com/show/4GhNv1hZp6tjfLyA4s6PMu?si=Gs5euyWpT4y7lOS8OTe4XAPreston Down Trust Decision-https://www.gov.uk/government/news/commission-publishes-report-on-the-preston-down-trustAberdeen incident- https://drive.google.com/file/d/1riImgAqwaqGwjYq6vRQIr4_jscJA0eQN/view?usp=drive_linkIf we walk in the light letters-https://drive.google.com/file/d/14WlgJladl1r95YGxW0FbZ0prYfjlg7FU/view?usp=sharingAdmin/Legal email address:stouffvillelegal-gal@protonmail.comOffice address:22 Braid BendStouffville ONL4A 1R7#plymouthbrethrenchristianchurch #pbcc #abuse #church #cult #religion #trauma #religioustrauma #sexualabuse #mindcontrol #brainwashing #conversation #exmembers #exposingtruth #expose #exposure #whistleblower #getalifepodcast #getalife #podcast #rules #strict #exclusivebrethren #brucehales #BruceHales #BDH #BruceDHales #UniversalBusinessTeam #UBT #RRT #RapidReliefTeam #Aberdeen #OneSchoolGlobal #OSG #johnhales #shutup #withdrawnfrom #worldly #excommunicate #assemblydeath #christiansect #christiancult #canadiancult #canadiansect #sect #worldwidesect #worldwidecult #cultescape #cultescapestory #bully #bullying #brokenfamily #awareness #cultescape #cultandculturepodcast #cultescapee #cultescapeer #cultescapeeinterview #askingforhelp #unispace
We delve into the haunting echoes of faith, family, and freedom with acclaimed author Rebecca Stott. Her memoir, In the Days of Rain, is a lyrical and courageous exploration of life inside and beyond the Exclusive Brethren, a fundamentalist Christian sect that shaped her childhood and shadowed her family's history. Rebecca joins us to unpack the complexities of growing up in a world governed by rigid doctrine and separation from society and the Aberdeen era that will forever leave a mark on the Exclusive Brethren's history. We'll explore how her father, once a senior member of the Brethren, led their family out of the sect and how that rupture reverberated across generations. With remarkable insight and tenderness, Rebecca reflects on belief, rebellion, and the power of storytelling to reclaim identity. Whether you're drawn to memoir, religious history, or the resilience of the human spirit, this conversation promises to be unforgettable.

Welcome to Strive 26 part 2! - and if Part 1 shocked you, you better be sitting down for Part 2 because we are calling out the profoundly devious and corrupt PBCC leadership on a whole new series of scams, scandals and lies that would make a seasoned demon blush with shame. Lets start with Roddy Cox coaching the entire PBCC membership how to lie to the world at large, by cunningly pretending that ‘PBCC' means the cult's tiny corporate office, and not the organization as a whole. Then he has the eye-watering audacity to quote the Symington era mantra “We have nothing to parade, nothing to hide.” We proceed to UBT Orbit, who dictate and control every detail of members' travel and accommodation (It's not a cult…) and in exchange for overcharging your plane ticked by at least 300%, will assist you to your seat and give you a complementary cup of joe. Then we have the “brainwashing-denial brainwashing” – a bit of an oxymoron – where they “prove” that their children aren't brainwashed because they “only” go to church 7 days a week and 5 times on Sundays. We then review the spectacular fails of Bruce D Hales, from the NZ election disaster of 2005 right through to the bloody Australian election catastrophe of 2025. These pivotal events are curiously not mentioned in Strive26 – but given they have nothing to hide, and their sudden passion for Transparency and Accountability, they will no doubt be glad we rectified their accidental omission. Then we have the great OSG Money Laundering Scam Round 2, the brazen theft of the entire multi-billion dollar meeting hall portfolio, and last but not least, the $1.2 billion Vision Foundation AKA Global Endowment Fund scam – whose claimed $100 million profit has vanished like an unattended cookie in a daycare. Nothing to hide…nothing to hide…just keep repeating the mantra until you believe it's true. This podcast starts with a very powerful song called Bring Back The Love which is an original composition and visual interpretation by individuals whose lives have been affected by Exclusive Brethren/PBCC.Link for insiders- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/8twjzmh43ewc3cofc4bc0/45001-154.mp4?rlkey=nl5tan04ocu4xfycbwtl41ken&st=8yikz87f&dl=0Link to Articles and podcasts episodes-https://archive.ph/TnP7Yhttps://archive.ph/iXWQOhttps://archive.ph/klwpwhttps://archive.ph/Tezn2https://archive.ph/Ohu6iPlymouth Brethren Christian Church linked business network, UBT, repays millions to ATO- https://archive.ph/TnP7YWe're not a cult' and a call for $250 million: Inside Exclusive Brethren's rallying call to members- https://archive.ph/a5H6sSteve Simmons podcast re OSG scandal- https://youtu.be/HNnkaDA2BZ8?si=xljsxDr56E9VHc0BTo share your story or be a guest on the show, email info.getalife@proton.meGet a Life Paypal donations -https://www.paypal.me/getalifepodcastGet a Life GoFundMe-https://gofund.me/614bcd06Olive Leaf Network- https://oliveleaf.network/Thinking of Leaving Pamphlet and resources - https://oliveleaf.network/resources/Preston Down Trust Decision-http://www.charitycommission.gov.uk/media/591398/preston_down_trust_full_decision.pdfAberdeen incident- https://drive.google.com/file/d/1riImgAqwaqGwjYq6vRQIr4_jscJA0eQN/view?usp=sharingIf we walk in the light letters-https://drive.google.com/file/d/14WlgJladl1r95YGxW0FbZ0prYfjlg7FU/view?usp=sharingAdmin/Legal email address:stouffvillelegal-gal@protonmail.comOffice address:22 Braid BendStouffville ONL4A 1R7#plymouthbrethrenchristianchurch #pbcc #abuse #church #cult #religion #trauma #religioustrauma #sexualabuse #mindcontrol #brainwashing #conversation #exmembers #exposingtruth #expose #exposure #whistleblower #getalifepodcast #getalife #podcast #rules #strict #exclusivebrethren #brucehales #BruceHales #BDH #BruceDHales #UniversalBusinessTeam #UBT #RRT #RapidReliefTeam #Aberdeen #OneSchoolGlobal #OSG #johnhales #shutup #withdrawnfrom #worldly #unispace
Strive 26 might be compared to a vast tray of bland and innocuous cat litter, enriched in places with a few half-buried juicy and mephitic turds. In today's episode, the GAL team dons hazmat suits to venture across the sandy wasteland of meaningless acronyms, feel-good slogans and business buzzwords, to excavate and dissect the unpleasant fecal deposits carefully concealed therein by the alley cats of Ermington, AKA the Hales mafia family. In this, we have the invaluable aid of Scottish investigator Damian Hastie, who unerringly pursues the scent of Brethren malfeasance with the nightmarish persistence of the Hound of the Baskervilles.As we were recording this episode, the PBCC was hit by the devastating news that the UBT had plead guilty to a massive tax evasion scheme, and were in the process of repaying multiple millions of dollars to the ATO. The rising mushroom cloud of this ‘end-times' event casts a lurid glow over the Strive26 seminar and explains the unseemly haste to wrap up the pledge process ahead of this damning wake-up call to the long-suffering members of the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church.Link for insiders- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/k1e0o8hbst8te76eptfmk/45000-153-1.mp4?rlkey=9kwblce6hni4eacbnfpuxom53&st=90uq88oa&dl=0Link to Articles and podcasts episodes-Plymouth Brethren Christian Church linked business network, UBT, repays millions to ATO- https://archive.ph/TnP7YWe're not a cult' and a call for $250 million: Inside Exclusive Brethren's rallying call to members- https://archive.ph/a5H6sSteve Simmons podcast re OSG scandal- https://youtu.be/HNnkaDA2BZ8?si=xljsxDr56E9VHc0BTo share your story or be a guest on the show, email info.getalife@proton.meGet a Life Paypal donations -https://www.paypal.me/getalifepodcastGet a Life GoFundMe-https://gofund.me/614bcd06PayPal link for USA- https://www.paypal.com/pools/c/8Tz4n35OJ8Olive Leaf Network- https://oliveleaf.network/Thinking of Leaving Pamphlet and resources - https://oliveleaf.network/resources/Link to Anchor/Spotify- https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/G6sjHA2xHwbPreston Down Trust Decision-http://www.charitycommission.gov.uk/media/591398/preston_down_trust_full_decision.pdfAberdeen incident- https://drive.google.com/file/d/1riImgAqwaqGwjYq6vRQIr4_jscJA0eQN/view?usp=sharingIf we walk in the light letters-https://drive.google.com/file/d/14WlgJladl1r95YGxW0FbZ0prYfjlg7FU/view?usp=sharingAdmin/Legal email address:stouffvillelegal-gal@protonmail.comOffice address:22 Braid BendStouffville ONL4A 1R7#plymouthbrethrenchristianchurch #pbcc #abuse #church #cult #religion #trauma #religioustrauma #sexualabuse #mindcontrol #brainwashing #conversation #exmembers #exposingtruth #expose #exposure #whistleblower #getalifepodcast #getalife #podcast #rules #strict #exclusivebrethren #brucehales #BruceHales #BDH #BruceDHales #UniversalBusinessTeam #UBT #RRT #RapidReliefTeam #Aberdeen #OneSchoolGlobal #OSG #johnhales #shutup #withdrawnfrom #worldly #excommunicate #assemblydeath #christiansect #christiancult #canadiancult #canadiansect #sect #worldwidesect #worldwidecult #cultescape #cultescapestory #bully #bullying #brokenfamily #awareness #cultescape #cultandculturepodcast #cultescapee #cultescapeer #cultescapeeinterview #askingforhelp #unispace
Today, on November 18th — the anniversary of Jonestown — we honour the 918 lives lost to a destructive, high-control group. It's a stark reminder of what can happen when loyalty, secrecy, and unquestioned authority replace truth, autonomy, and critical thought. Their memory calls us to remain vigilant, to speak up, and to listen when people inside controlling systems find the courage to tell the truth.In this short episode, I read out a set of powerful insider comments about the PBCC's recent Strive26 seminar. These comments expose the reality behind the polished presentation, the psychological pressure, the forced messaging, and the widening gap between what the PBCC claims and what its own members are experiencing.The insider walks through how the PBCC meets nine of the ten internationally recognized criteria for a cult. Their words shed light on the control, the gaslighting, the exhaustion, and the fear that many families inside are living with every day.To every insider who continues to speak, quietly or boldly: you are not alone.To those who have left: your clarity saves lives.And to those still inside these systems: there is nothing wrong with questioning what doesn't feel right.Thank you for listening, for caring, and for helping bring these stories into the light.Link for insiders- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/goeymlokj1gukjiqt5944/Strive-26-podcast-iinsider-comments-ep.152.mp4?rlkey=2qldoo7qejyr1db09toc6nag9&st=wm7ram8q&dl=0To share your story or be a guest on the show, email info.getalife@proton.meGet a Life Paypal donations -https://www.paypal.me/getalifepodcastGet a Life GoFundMe-https://gofund.me/614bcd06PayPal link for USA- https://www.paypal.com/pools/c/8Tz4n35OJ8Olive Leaf Network- https://oliveleaf.network/Thinking of Leaving Pamphlet and resources - https://oliveleaf.network/resources/Link to Anchor/Spotify- https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/G6sjHA2xHwbPreston Down Trust Decision-http://www.charitycommission.gov.uk/media/591398/preston_down_trust_full_decision.pdfAberdeen incident- https://drive.google.com/file/d/1riImgAqwaqGwjYq6vRQIr4_jscJA0eQN/view?usp=sharingIf we walk in the light letters-https://drive.google.com/file/d/14WlgJladl1r95YGxW0FbZ0prYfjlg7FU/view?usp=sharingAdmin/Legal email address:stouffvillelegal-gal@protonmail.comOffice address:22 Braid BendStouffville ONL4A 1R7#plymouthbrethrenchristianchurch #pbcc #abuse #church #cult #religion #trauma #religioustrauma #sexualabuse #mindcontrol #brainwashing #conversation #exmembers #exposingtruth #expose #exposure #whistleblower #getalifepodcast #getalife #podcast #rules #strict #exclusivebrethren #brucehales #BruceHales #BDH #BruceDHales #UniversalBusinessTeam #UBT #RRT #RapidReliefTeam #Aberdeen #OneSchoolGlobal #OSG #johnhales #shutup #withdrawnfrom #worldly #excommunicate #assemblydeath #christiansect #christiancult #canadiancult #canadiansect #sect #worldwidesect #worldwidecult #cultescape #cultescapestory #bully #bullying #brokenfamily #awareness #cultescape #cultandculturepodcast #cultescapee #cultescapeer #cultescapeeinterview #askingforhelp #unispace
