    The Brethren's bogus sanitizer scam. How the saints sold 80 tons of tap water as disinfectant in the pandemic!When the world experienced the tragedy and suffering of Covid, the Exclusive Brethren saw a golden opportunity to make quick and massive profits. Under the guise of “Caring for all men” and “Helping out in this time of crisis” they actually made matters much, much worse by flooding the market with useless and ineffective illegal disinfectants - all promoted by intensive UBT inspired advertising just overflowing with the most egregious lies and patently false claims. Specifically, this podcast tells the extraordinary story of the Ramsol disinfectant, a Quin Global brand marketed in the USA by Matthew Petersen, and in the UK by Carl Fowler. Dean Hales'Ox Tools then relabeled it as their own brand as did Zappshelter's Craig Michel, who marketed it as Zapptizer.This brazen dishonesty and calculated evil greatly enriched numerous prominent Plymouth Brethren family businesses across the USA, Canada and the UK – and of course, the Hales family of Sydney Australia, who dip their greedy fingers into any form corruption that they can find.We name and shame them all, in this raw and uncensored podcast that dips deep into the fetid cesspool that is the PBCC businessman's moral code of conduct.Link for insiders- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/f224ty6dzpyhx4btp59v8/Get-A-Life-Podcast-Ep-138-Evil-Incarnate.mp4?rlkey=2mv512nd4miikxvxgzrwx3vhn&st=682nobug&dl=0Link to articles discussed in podcast- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/zktizvqo91eya841av5n1/AGsX3BRNhcTYO8cQnNGeZ30?rlkey=vhw06yt0rtf9gfwlutyk4fcp4&st=rxo888gt&dl=0UK Biocidal Products databasehttps://www.hse.gov.uk/biocides/assets/docs/uk-authorised-biocidal-products.xlsxEU Biocidal Products databasehttps://echa.europa.eu/information-on-chemicals/biocidal-productsCraig Michel 110mph in a blizzard article:http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/scotland/tayside_and_central/6518119.stmQuin Global “Introducing Ramsol” Articlehttps://web.archive.org/web/20200409063203/http://www.quinglobal.com/news.php/Introducing-Ramsol-Actively-helping-the-current-situation-in-any-way-we-can.-64Zapptizer website:https://web.archive.org/web/20220921103338/https://www.zapptizer.com/Ez-Stak (Mike Lawrenson) webpagehttps://web.archive.org/web/20200804110955/https://ezstak-ppe.com/collections/disinfectant-spray-accessoriesCanada Proud 3rd party election campaign featuring Mile Lawrenson & Mark Bondhttps://www.elections.ca/fin/oth/thi/advert/tpdec1222/TP-0002.pdfOmaha man pleads guilty news article:https://archive.ph/WgcrZ#selection-2309.38-2893.7Nebraska Examiner article:https://nebraskaexaminer.com/briefs/omaha-businessman-pleads-guilty-to-selling-unregistered-anti-microbial-falsely-marketed-as-effective-against-covid-19/Omaha World-herald article:https://archive.ph/kIBbQKETV article:https://www.ketv.com/article/omaha-company-president-sentenced-covid-19-related-crimes/62021869DOJ Press Release 1 Quin Global:https://www.justice.gov/usao-ne/pr/omaha-company-and-company-president-sentenced-covid-related-crimesDOJ Press Release 2 Quin Global:https://www.justice.gov/usao-ne/pr/omaha-company-and-company-president-plead-guilty-covid-related-crimesUSA v Quin Global https://www.pacermonitor.com/public/case/52296830/USA_v_Quin_GlobalUSA v Petersenhttps://www.pacermonitor.com/public/case/52296828/USA_v_PetersenTo 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/8Tz4n35OJ8Admin/Legal email address:stouffvillelegal-gal@protonmail.comOffice address:22 Braid BendStouffville ONL4A 1R7#PBCC #plymouthbrethrenchristianchurch #exclusivebrethren #cult #oneschoolglobal #rapidreliefteam #ubt

    Broken, crushed, smashed. Dominated by a superior will. Submission to a despot. These are not extracts from the North Korean Constitution, or the playbook of some kinky sex cult, but the “divinely inspired” ministry of the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church.

Religious Trauma expert Sam, our own much loved Lindy, and Dennis Wragge join us as we discuss spiritual abuse, and how our personal spiritual experiences change and develop when we escape from the thought police and blindness of an all-powerful cult and experience the freedom of enjoying spirituality each in our own way.Link for insiders- https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ELyaswRd8rLPbfMepxYmBsYeaoq0wa8f/view?usp=sharingLink to GoFundMe for ICSA conference-https://gofund.me/36f27545Link to websites and discussions in podcast-https://www.icsahome.com/https://www.thereligioustraumacollective.com/https://www.hopevalleycounselling.com/abouthttps://janjalalich.com/https://www.recoveringfromreligion.org/#rfr-welcomehttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/44224521-escaping-the-maze-of-spiritual-abuseSam and Gillie Jenkinson podcast- https://youtu.be/GKKFKzBYP8Y?si=-nqkY2Qr8PgvENl2Lindy and Gillie Jenkinson podcast- https://youtu.be/ctWqHY48Dfk?si=0q4qZZy5hDwNWqenTo 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/Faith in Practice document- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/j3jsediontgltrjn9o7vr/Core-Doctrine-Faith-in-Practice-highlighted.pdf?rlkey=izmqxvfqwg1hg2q5r9lkofvre&st=ozuls0gp&dl=0https://web.archive.org/web/20241011154325/https://theplymouthbrethren.org.uk/beliefs/faith-in-practice/Aberdeen 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

    OneSchool Global currently has almost 100 unfilled vacancies for teachers – and that number just keeps going up. Why is it so difficult for this extremely well funded school to retain staff? And why are so many teachers and principals simply disappearing mid-term?Thanks to the courage of Tim, a OneSchool Global teacher who has just left after 2 years at an Australian OSG campus, we now have some answers!In this raw, unscripted podcast, Tim explains why year 11 and 12 students may never be in the same room as their teachers. How a school's precious library of community approved books was trashed, and how ‘special needs' students are denied the help they require by OSG's militant global “one size fits all” policies.We hear how teachers face impossible dilemmas as they have to choose between doing the right thing for their students, and keeping their jobs. We learn of the unethical rules imposed on teachers that are only conveyed verbally, never spoken, and the way the cult censors the teachers' own personal social media accounts to conform with its “ethos”.We hear about the profound lack of any meaningful choice for the students – not only are they denied university education, but they don't even get a choice of career – they are simply allocated to various PBCC owned businesses – leaving then with no incentive to achieve or to excel.Despite shiny new campus facilities, all undergoing the “Campus Modernization (money-laundering) Program and adequate wages, OneSchool Global rapidly become a death trap for its teachers mental and moral health. Tim delivers a stark message to any teachers who may be tempted to take up any of those 100 OSG vacancies.

    DISCUSSION ON DEATH AND SUICIDE. VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED “To err is human, but to really f#@k things up you need the Plymouth Brethren” – and in the case we report today, they come in the person of Simon Filleul, a Plymouth Brethren elder and Rapid Relief team spokesman from Whanganui, New Zealand. Simon's business, Playground Centre Limited took on a talented and enthusiastic 19-year old, exploited his energy and loyalty to the utmost extreme for 7 years, lured him to Australia with false and unfulfilled promises of training, promotion and financial assistance, then finally, having extracted everything of value from him, left him to die alone, hanging from his forklift truck. Yes, we are angry, and sickened by the greed, cruelty and hypocrisy of the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church and its fake Rapid Relief Team Charity – and yes , it's a bloody long podcast – but if you are, like the Filleuls, one of those smug, self-important callous money-grubbing UBT trained PBCC businessmen you need to sit yourself down and watch this podcast again, and again and again…because if YOU f#@k up, it will be your proud, respectable Brethren name on the next episode of Get-a-Life Podcast.

    Under the guise of funding OneSchool Global, the PBCC's leaders have quietly bilked $0.65 billion from their unsuspecting members since 2017. Rather than being used for education, this tax free bullion is stashed in multiple obscure private investment funds around the globe, and used by the tiny elite of ultra-rich PBCC church leaders to fund their own businesses ventures. Every year, the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church's “Global Funding Team” holds a “Strive” fundraiser to collect a further $250 million to add to the pot. Attendance at this Zoom fundraising event, while dressed in church attire, is compulsory for 100% of members, and they must keep their cameras on so that local brethren priests can see that they are attending, and monitor their reactions. The 54,000 assembled victims of this fraud are told a carefully crafted pack of outright lies to the effect that the Brethren's OneSchool Global desperately needs funds, that Vision Foundation is an endowment fund for this purpose, and that it generates an astonishing 20% return on investment. Get-a-Life exposes for he first time the shocking truth that Vision Foundation has actually been losing millions of dollars per year, and far from being an endowment fund, is just a handy source of ready cash for the corrupt Brethren elite. We also expose for the first time the “Campus Modernization Program” and the “Hall Standardization Program” further financial scams perpetrated by PBCC leadership to launder $100s of millions of tax-free dollars into their own bank accounts. Join us as we light up for the first time the Affinity Fraud of the Century, as the perpetrators desperately scramble to pull the maximum value from the scam before the Australian Tax Office's ongoing investigation closes it down for good.

    Guy Wilson‘s remarkable memory and extensive records take us back to the south of England, in early days of the 1960s as Big Jim Taylor groped his way through the sisterhood to his nemesis at Aberdeen. With close family ties to the Taylors in New York, Guy can give the story from both sides of the Atlantic, as well as all manner of interesting and sometimes scandalous details about his former brethren in Canterbury and elsewhere. Guy is not shy of dropping names, and Theo Deacon, Geoff, Alan, Keith and Clive Groombridge, David Worsley, Struan and Moira Kerr, Stuart Clark and Peter Bedford all come in for a mention. Most intriguing of all, Guy shares some stories about Alan Clarkson, formerly of Perth Australia, and now from The Hague. Alan may have a few matters to clear, come the weekend. Finally, Guy has supplied extensive files of interesting letters from that time, which we are sharing in a folder that is linked below.

    Join us for a deeply moving episode as we continue Helen's incredible journey in part 2. Helen dives into her career and how she made sure she had a path to do what she was passionate about. Helen shares the emotional challenges faced upon returning home during her Mother's final days. Helen was privileged enough to be up front and center during her mother's illness and even attended a meeting where she recounts how she was able to go back inside. She wasn't allowed through the front door and wasn't allowed to sit with everyone, but she explains her reasoning for sitting through another boring meeting. It was a roller coaster of emotions trying to build a relationship with her family still inside the cult. At times these interactions were positive and other times the interactions were extremely painful. But, Helen persevered and has great advice on how to manage these circumstances we all find ourselves in.

    From a young age Helen knew she wanted to leave the PBCC or Exclusive Brethren as it was known when she was a child. She also knew doing so would rip apart the tight knit and loving family she was born into. In part one, Helen talks us through how she navigated this dilemma both emotionally and practically culminating in her leaving at the age of 16, including the pressure she was put under through weekly priestly visits. She takes us on a journey of what it was like collecting signatures from the important members inside the sect, including a prominent drawing from James Symington. There's also a shocking story that continues to be the dilemma in this patriarchal cult. Join Jacky, Ross and Andrea unpack another survivor story that ends with many, many blessings.

    Three stunning court cases have turned the tide in the cult's long saga of vexatious litigation and SLAPP tactics against their critics. Following the example of Scientology, the exclusive brethren cult's leaders have pursued a massively expensive undercover operation to harass outspoken former members with spurious and unreasonable court cases. Every congregation globally has been pressured into contributing to a huge legal slush fund, ostensibly to “protect the testimony”. To give the so-called church “credible deniability” these legal cases are always taken by PBCC members personally, or by their businesses – these act as surrogates for the cult to maintain the fiction that the PBCC, as required by law, treats former members in a fair and compassionate manner. In this intensive documentary style podcast we hear eyewitness accounts of the courtroom dramas, and we show you numerous documents and reports that have never been published before. Dennis Wragge describes his dramatic intervention in a Toronto courtroom, where he was unexpectedly given the podium and invited to speak about the cult's abuse of process. Guy Wilson takes us inside the UK courthouse in Leeds and recounts his interactions with Jed Christie and the infamous Charlotte Harris. We read the brethren's own lawyers account of the David Wallace kidnapping saga, and the mysterious appearance of a prominent member of the Hales family in a Canadian courtroom in the dead of winter. These recent cases in the UK and Canada have seen the PBCC's veneer of deniability publicly shredded, as a judge stated in public court that it was the CULT that was directing the “attack-dog” lawyers, and that the actual claimants were just puppets. This bold precedent will make future malicious attacks against PBCC critics all but impossible. A few short years ago, the Hales Money Machine seemed almost invulnerable, using its financial clout to bribe and bully their way to whatever goal they set their greedy eyes upon. What a change we see now! The PBCC is in full retreat on every front - their public credibility destroyed by in-depth media investigations, their reputation now too toxic for politicians to dare to be associated with them, and their once feared lawyers exposed for the grossly overpaid immoral parasites that they really are. The Bruce Hales regime has been on an alcohol and arrogance fueled slippery slope for a while now. Join us on this gripping podcast as we give them all a hefty shove down the hill.

    Speaking out against the Brethren isn't just a story; it's a call to action. The courage it takes to voice one's truth against the odds is powerful. Craig Hoyle chooses honesty over silence, pushing for a change. Our final episode in this 3 part series takes us from chapter 13 to the end of the book revealing Craig's life after leaving the PBCC/ Exclusive Brethren. In this episode, we cover RRT, animal cruelty, car chases, sexual abuse of those that came before us, Faith in Practice document, gaining new family on the outside, and so much more. This tear jerking episode also highlights what our younger siblings may have gone through as we left. From fending off surveillance to chasing justice, the journey of ex-members is daunting yet empowering. Exposing the Brethren's control tactics is no small feat. But as Craig points out, staying silent fosters the persistence of injustices. Our time is now to use our voices and have these changes made!

    Welcome back to Part 2 where we continue the eye-opening discussion on high-demand religious groups and their manipulative tactics. In this episode, we delve deeper into the experiences of individuals who have left the FLDS and LDS Church, shedding light on the inner workings and control exerted by charismatic leaders like Warren Jeffs and Bruce Hales. Sam and Melissa from @GrowingUpinPolygamy share their personal journeys, the impact of fear-based teachings, and the struggles of self-discovery outside of these restrictive communities. We explore the suppression of information, manipulation of followers, and the disturbing pattern of setting dates for apocalyptic events such as the rapture. Join us as we uncover the psychological and emotional turmoil experienced by those who have escaped and the hopeful message of finding happiness and fulfillment beyond these harrowing environments.

    Sam and Melissa founded the Growing Up in Polygamy podcast to help survivors of the fundamentalist Mormon cult, Warren Jeffs FLDS, and other extremist high-control groups. As we discuss our experiences, we discover that, polygamy aside, the FLDS and the PBCC are remarkably similar in their history, leadership and mechanisms of physical, mental and spiritual control and abuse. We also compare the PBCC with the mainstream Mormon LDS, with their doomsday ideology, racism and their recent attempts to position themselves as a "Mainstream Christian Church" (sound familiar?) Sam describes his heart wrenching exit from the FLDS and the impact it had on his family. If you hadn't known he was from the FLDS, it would sound as if we were interviewing a recent leaver from the PBCC. Part 1 hopefully helps those inside question- "How can there be so many other groups claiming to be the only way and to have the one and only Man of God bringing the word to them?" Stay tuned for part 2 as we continue to dive into the FLDS leader and how he continues to lead from jail.

    We jump right into part 2 with Isaac reading his note on how he felt whilst being held up in a tiny apartment by the priests. In this episode, Isaac really dives into what helped him gain his strength and balance in the world outside of the PBCC. From moments of heartache to rediscovering hope, Isaac's story is a testament to what we all can overcome. We discuss the impact of trauma, the importance of finding the right therapist, and the power of community. Finally, Isaac reads out his letter to the PBCC's "Man of God" Bruce Hales. This letter was very well articulated and Isaac's response he got from the priests is what we all would expect. Isaac's story is such a testament to the kind hearted soul he is and how his versatility and willingness to sit with his trauma allowed him to create an incredible and fulfilling life for himself. link for insiders- https://docsend.dropbox.com/view/kxue99uchi4vcrsi LINK TO RESEARCH QUESTIONNAIRE- https://app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk/s/salford/health-wellbeing-former-members To share your story or be a guest on the show, email info.getalife@proton.me Get a Life Paypal donations - https://www.paypal.me/getalifepodcast Get a Life GoFundMe- https://gofund.me/614bcd06 PayPal link for USA- https://www.paypal.com/pools/c/8Tz4n35OJ8 Olive 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/G6sjHA2xHwb Preston Down Trust Decision- http://www.charitycommission.gov.uk/media/591398/preston_down_trust_full_decision.pdf Aberdeen incident- https://drive.google.com/file/d/1riImgAqwaqGwjYq6vRQIr4_jscJA0eQN/view?usp=sharing If we walk in the light letters- https://drive.google.com/file/d/14WlgJladl1r95YGxW0FbZ0prYfjlg7FU/view?usp=sharing Admin/Legal email address: Stouffville-GAL@protonmail.com Office address: 22 Braid Bend Stouffville ON L4A 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

    TRIGGER WARNING! This podcast contains discussions on physical abuse, sexual abuse and suicide. Viewer discretion is advised. Isaac's story originates in New Zealand with an abusive father that he couldn't escape from. In this inspiring story, Isaac shares what it was like growing up in the PBCC where he not only suffered physical abuse but also sexual abuse. He describes his journey with the priests and how he was confined to a tiny apartment for over a year. The biggest take away from this harrowing story is the way Isaac found a way to stand back up and create an incredible life for himself. His messages to other's in a predicament like he was and to the insiders will have you in tears with his bravery and heartfelt plea to the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church. What would life have been like had the PBCC taught sex education and consent? What could have been prevented had there been anger management classes for his father and accountability? How do priests get away with heartless treatment and confinement? This is a story that would sure spark some change inside the PBCC if they were listening to the pain of each and every survivor that comes forward. Part 1 of Isaac's story is just the lead up to a letter to Bruce Hales in Part 2. Stay tuned!

Head to 1:34:30 to find out what the PBCC wanted to buy David, 1:54:38 to find out what elite PBCC members sit on the GAP panel, 2:03:40 for the full compilation of the viral videos on the Klondike Papers and don't miss out on the new spicy intro! Preachers, pedophiles, private investigators, lawyers and liars, criminals, and crooked cops, big business, bibles, black eyes and bribery, and lots and lots of money. Welcome to the strange Jekyll and Hyde world of the “Universal Elderhood” of the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church, whose revered priests and leaders, Brothers Brad Mitchell and Rod Diplock, preach the Gospel of Christ Jesus by day, and transform like werewolves into “Frestey” and “Westwind” to hunt opposers by night. Meet Brother “Stranger Things” Mick Strange, the foul-mouthed priest of Oz, and his lackey “Prince of Darkness” Keith Prince who bankrolls their dark ops from Tillsonburg town. Meet Gerald Chipeur, KC, Counsel to the Conservative Party of Canada, and the PBCC, who preaches in the temples of the 7th Day Adventist Church, administers Justice in the law courts of Alberta, and procures and pays criminals $5000 a time to sign false affidavits for his clients. “Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence” - and extraordinary evidence is exactly what we give you - a score or more of emails, recordings and text messages between the PBCC priesthood, and their operatives from the underworld, extracted from the famous Klondike papers and published here for the first time.

Lyle and Andrea and their 2 beautiful daughters made it out of the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church in tact and are thriving in every way that is possible. Andrea takes us back to the day they left and walks us through what that first week was like. She opens up about the challenges of transitioning to life outside the community, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing emotional well-being and safety for her children. From confronting hurtful messages to the joy of newfound freedom and finding supportive connections, Andrea's story is a testament to resilience and the pursuit of happiness. They are the storybook we all want to read about and even though the heartache of the family they had to leave behind is there, this will inspire those inside to take that leap of faith and own what's rightfully theirs-FREEDOM!

    Join us as we dive into Tam Bennett's letter she wrote to the entire PBCC community when she left with he brothers in 2018. This letter addresses all the reasons why we continue doing what we do. We discuss the judgment that is placed on any diversity; the lack of empathy, compassion and kindness towards non-community members, especially those that are non-Caucasian; their fear tactics they use on children; their restriction of information that takes away the right of anyone making informed decisions; the lack of diversity in career choices; the hierarchal system that disadvantages weaker members; the system that disallows any room for creativity and most of all the God-like status they give a man. Tam dives into the racism, sexism and what it was like for her to grow up in a cult that doesn't embrace gay people. The most rewarding part of this podcast is the shining light her and her brothers can be as she offers hope to those inside that leaving with family is possible. Her message to those inside at the end will leave you with chills from head to toe! We end the podcast with a song from another ex-member. Dawson is a 24 year old British/Swiss artist and songwriter and is getting his start in the music world. His songs are very personal and moving and very relatable for the LGBTQI community.

    Many leavers of the PBCC (Exclusive brethren) have struggled or are struggling with their mental wellbeing. To what extent does being born and raised in a high control group such as the PBCC contribute to this struggle? Many would say it does but what actual evidence is there to support this hypothesis? Research provides that evidence. Join us as we talk to Jill Aebi Mytton about new research being carried out through the University of Salford with Dr Rod Dubrow-Marshall and Dr Linda Dubrow-Marshall. Jill explains to us the concept behind this research and how it will be used. Completing this questionnaire will be the start of the evidence needed to effect change. Research reports can be used to influence the police, therapists and other authority bodies to understand the detrimental effects of leaving a cult. Importantly, it can also be used to influence politicians to bring about law changes to inhibit the harm caused by cultic groups. So, listen to the podcast and then ask yourself – do you want change enough to take the time be part of this significant research?

    What a story this is! Born into an intensely homophobic and misogynist cult, Joey Green comes to the realization that she is a lesbian – and to make a bad situation worse, her father is an outspoken anti-gay activist. Joey was on episode 93 as anonymous and came back as herself to fill in many parts of her story she wasn't able to fill in before. One of those stories along with many others is alcohol in water bottles at school! Growing up in the isolationist Plymouth Brethren Christian Church cult, where women are treated as inferiors and homosexuality is actively hated, a young girl overcomes all these barriers to become the happy and confident non-binary personality that we see and hear on this podcast – a sparkling witness to the transformation that takes place when a person breaks free and can live their true identity. We then take a look at Myles and Lee Admiraal, prominent and extremely wealthy PBCC business owners who have a dark history of homophobic hatred and harassment, leading to a damning court case in Montreal. This revealing court case really shows how these children take the leaders hatred and then act them out in society. Ben discusses a horrifying field trip that also ended in physical hatred towards the LGBTQ community. To finish off, we have Bruce Thompson' performing his latest song “Top of the Tree” a reflection on the wealth and power of the Exclusive Brethren's “Man of God”.

    Get-a-Life smashes through the Brethren's “wall of separation” with this first ever interview of a current and participating member of the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church. After listening to the mandatory Friday night recording of Cult Messiah Bruce D. Hales, and before attending the mandatory Saturday morning Cult Bible Reading, PBCC “sister” Andrea Becker took the time to record this groundbreaking podcast with Get-a-Life's Cheryl and Lane. Andrea Becker (originally MacKinnon from Montreal) lives with her husband Lyle and two daughters in the German town of Bad Endbach. Andrea tells how their belief in the Brethren‘s doctrine was shaken by the blatant dishonesty of the system and the cruel treatment of leavers. Together with her husband, they planned to leave, rather than to bring up their daughters in a cult that treats women as inferior and voiceless servants to the men. With their plans all made, but kept entirely secret from their unsuspecting local brethren and their many relatives in the cult, Andrea recorded this interview telling of both the elation and the fear that filled them as they faced their D-day – just one week ahead. Did their months of careful preparation succeed? Did they escape as a family, unscathed? Listen to the end of this intense podcast to find out!

    For a community of compassionate and caring Christians, the PBCC businesses tend to get the opposite reviews from former non-community members. Matthew's story isn't anything new to us, but still is heart wrenching to listen to. The comments on social media, messages and emails sent to us by former and current employees all have the same theme- it's a toxic, misogynistic and racist environment to work in. In Matthew's case, having an 18 year old daughter of his own, was the catalyst that made him leave. He couldn't imagine his daughter being treated the way these PBCC members treated others. What started out as a incredible job, Matthew quickly realized that all they wanted him for was his expertise and not to maintain dignity or a safe workplace emotionally, mentally and spiritually. The workplace became very toxic with PBCC members being caught taking pictures up girl's skirts, alcohol everywhere and misogyny he couldn't bear to witness. Accountability was not given to the girl who was violated but rather she was let go and the perpetrator got to keep his job. He was told another girl was only hired for her looks. He quickly realized they did not value women at all. Matthew spoke his mind and asked questions! He takes us on his 2 year journey of homophobia and racism, alcohol in the workplace, getting ready for Dean Hales and how he actually ate with them. In his words- he never saw any signs of the values they speak of and reiterates he would NEVER work for another PBCC company ever again.

    Chris Jones's last view of God's Chosen People was from the balcony of the London meeting hall in Park Lane, as the Aberdeen crisis split JND's famous “Metropolitan” congregation in two, and half the “saints” stormed out of the hall amid angry recriminations. Born into the well known Barber brethren family, Chris changed his surname to Jones when he left, in defiance of his parent's appalling mistreatment of him. Intelligent and curious, and with a passion for geology and fossils, Chris found the narrow-minded and coercive Brethren regime unbearable, and his many acts of rebellion as a child resulted in harsh corporeal punishment. Leaving as soon as he legally could, Chris worked to pay his way through University, getting a B.Sc. with honors in Geology, and moved to Africa, where he became a exploration geologist and consultant for gold and platinum mining operations, then took up a teaching career as a lecturer in the University of Limpopo, South Africa. Chris had resolutely put his dark formative years in the PBCC behind him, and forged ahead with his exciting and successful life – but on his recent retirement, he came across the Get-A-Life podcasts, and felt a desire to tell his story, and to offer hope, encouragement and help to the current generation of young people trapped inside the narrow walls of the cult. Above all, Chris' sparkling and warm personality shines out in this podcast, as a testimony to an exciting, happy and successful life that had such a dark and unpromising beginning.

    TRIGGER WARNING- Listen in as 4 Plymouth Brethren “priests” subject a lone teenager to a vicious and humiliating hour-long Gestapo-style interrogation. Never before in the 200 year history of the PBCC has the brutality of the Brethren priests been recorded and made public. For former members, this will be a highly triggering yet deeply familiar experience – for the public, this will come as a visceral shock – as the raw cruelty and arrogance of Bruce Hales' inner circle of “enforcers” is loudly and clearly exposed. The PBCC ‘s expensive PR spin doctors have made great claims of “compassion in action” and that “family is at the heart of who we are”. Listen to this merciless assault on both the teenager and his family and judge for yourself how much compassion is shown to a young person who crosses the path of the PBCC elites. Lead interrogators, Mick Strange and Rod Diplock, multi-millionaire directors of Allfasteners USA and Controltek USA respectively, are also 2 of the 3 directors of “Plymouth Brethren Christian Church” incorporated in Ohio, USA – placing them at the very top of the Church hierarchy. Strange is a co-director with Gregory Hales in the fixings business, while Diplock has a joint venture in the international property market with Gareth Hales – Shavano Consulting. As always in the cult, connections with the Hales family, and huge amounts of money equate to absolute power, and the ability to instill deep rooted fear and unquestioning obedience on the long-suffering Brethren congregations. As the interrogation proceeds, the priests in their anger let slip a closely guarded secret – the name of the man who owns UBT – the vaunted billion dollar “financial wing” of the cult. The story has a bittersweet conclusion – the victim leaves the cult and builds a new and very successful life for himself – but is now estranged from his family who remain under Bruce Hales' regime of brainwashing and blind obedience. Following the recording of the “priestly” former PBCC members Cheryl and Richard review the 4 ingredients that make up a “Bruce Hales” priestly interrogation, and welcome guest, Shanelle, who gives an therapist's view on the catalogue of religious, emotional and psychological abuse and harm that Brethren victims are subjected to by their leaders. *EDIT- At 3:31 it says Greg Marham and it should say Greg Baldwin Link for insiders- https://docsend.dropbox.com/view/qvyb5tq2r6iew7s8 Link to Reddit post on Mick and Rod's involvement in the kidnapping attempt of Richard Marsh- https://www.reddit.com/r/cults/comments/1ce9skw/pbcc_abduction_foiled_by_ontario_private/ AllFasteners- https://allfasteners.com/about-us ControlTek- https://controltekusa.com/our-team Shavano Consulting Group- https://www.shavano-group.com/our-team Link to PBCC directors- https://web.archive.org/web/20230319192045/https://opencorporates.com/companies/us_oh/2369562 The Body keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk- https://www.besselvanderkolk.com/resources/the-body-keeps-the-score Healing the Shame that binds you by John Bradshaw- https://www.johnbradshaw.com/books/healing-the-shame-that-binds-you Link to Steven Hassan website- https://freedomofmind.com/ Link to article " The Body Comes to Therapy too" - https://docsend.dropbox.com/view/pyu2mewgfwau7yig Link to Priestly visit recording for therapists - https://docsend.dropbox.com/view/2mezj949cdt928gd Link to Bruce Thompson Freedom Blues song- https://youtube.com/@bruceybonus7091?si=c455fPvVOCHy19Xz Freedom Blues link for insiders- https://docsend.dropbox.com/view/mfig6nncxw3gz4mq Links to follow Bruce Thompson- Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/brucey_bonus87?igsh=cHJrZTY4bWlrbXAx TikTok- https://www.tiktok.com/@brucethompson719?_t=8lyWxbh8feX&_r=1 Admin/Legal email address: Stouffville-GAL@protonmail.com Office address: 22 Braid Bend Stouffville ON L4A 1R7 #plymouthbrethrenchristianchurch #exclusivebrethren #BruceDHales #UBT #RapidReliefTeam #OneSchoolGlobal #unispace

Malcolm pleads to those inside to not follow a man and to be true to yourself. Malcolm was not willing to drop his principles to become rich and asks those inside, "When do you say you got enough? When does money corrupt? You don't owe BDH anything! You're not responsible for things that happen to your loved ones and don't be afraid to ask questions." Choices are important to evolving and understanding your surroundings, when those get taken away- we enter the realm of cult behavior.

"Jane" expresses her concerns on their views of the environment and this leads us into the hypocrisy of their RRT charity that puts a mask on when supporting and pursuing the face of their "charitable" deeds. She describes the political conversations with these children and knows she couldn't have taught through another election! Jane sends us into tears with her message to those that run OneSchool Global. Part 2 of this interview covered absolutely everything that lights a fire under the ex-members to demand change. Our loving families are inside this cult and don't realize what they are apart of. Will our voices, collectively, be enough to bring change to the future generation? We welcome each and every teacher, those that have worked for the PBCC and anyone that has suffered at the hands of this extremist and destructive cult to come forward and use their voice to bring change.

    We sit down with Ben Woodbury, a former OneSchool student and another former teacher and discuss the horrors within this establishment. Our anonymous teacher goes through her interview process where she saw many red flags including how these students are not allowed post secondary education. She explains the separation of the boys and girls and her insight into behaviors she witnessed. We hear the heart wrenching story of someone who tried to reach out to a mental health helpline and got into trouble for it. She witnesses how the girls are controlled in their environment and how special friendships are not allowed. Is OneSchool Global too diseased to save or is the foundation similar to their churches? This podcast will have you in tears as Ben and "Jane" share their experiences. Our only hope is that as these teachers find their courage to speak up, the authorities get involved.

    If Part 1 of Neville and Pip's story didn't shock you, part 2 will. Neville dives into his mom's heart wrenching story and how disposable she was to the Exclusive Brethren. Neville walks through the abuse of alcohol in the cult and his conversations he has had with others on this topic. We go through more letters that leave you rocked to the core, especially for the younger generations that didn't know what all was happening in the 1960's. I think it's safe to say that this cult has diseased roots of power, greed and alcoholism that stem way back. How do those inside watch these podcasts and not get up and walk out? How do we help them see that their faith will follow them and help them through all changes needed to rebuild their lives? If you are looking for stability in your Christian faith, the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church is anything but that! If you want to be tied to a money hungry business man and his minions, the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church will take over your mind, money and life to line their pockets- all under the disguise of Christianity. If you are looking to be free of the chaos you are experiencing, there is a life beyond the PBCC cage where you will fully understand what family and faith truly is. Neville provides ample letters, his book and 4 hours of history that we all needed to understand these roots of the Exclusive Brethren/PBCC.

Neville and Pip McCallum wrote a book called Cast outside the camp that documents the insidious horrors that the Exclusive Brethren are capable of. Neville walks us through their families journey escaping this awful cult. Through his humor and strength to face the cult head on, we sift through letters, postcards and numerous accounts of how he stood up to them, including a response from BDH himself. Did we have a moment in time that history could have been changed? Sitting through this podcast and enthralled at the history generations below Neville and Pip hadn't heard, Lindy and Cheryl start putting pieces together. What we see today with the PBCC has been building for years and what Neville informs us of, will leave you with your mouth hanging open and light bulbs going off. What Neville and others started years ago is what the next generation is building off of, but this time with social media that can't be stopped! THINGS MUST CHANGE! Every generation will do well to read their book, Cast outside the camp, and watch podcast part1 and part 2 to understand, from another perspective, how we got to where we are today.

    It's not the money, it's the LOVE of money that drives the Hales dynasty. Instead of loving people, the Hales are proving to many that they love money more and use their flock to attain their wealth. In this podcast Cheryl, Ben and Cassie get into the latest article from Michael Bachelard and Lucy Macken. Is it possible for those inside the PBCC to see where their money goes? Do they know the Hales own these mansions with pools and tennis courts? Everything that is banned for others, sits inside the Hales backyards. Ben describes the same year they moved everyone out of Windsor, was the same year a mansion was bought by the Hales in the same surrounding area. We see it clearly and so do many who cross paths with them. Inside the cult, it's a different story. These basic grassroot members believe their money is funding quality education and future generations. This is an extraordinary raid we hope stops the bleeding of the brethren that have no idea what's going on. What will the ATO find? We give an update on what's happening at the Precint in Sydney headquarters and go through what the public feel about this situation. We also revisit the video on the money laundering 101 that some may have missed in Steve Simmons podcast Ep.94 Stay tuned into Get A Life as we cover the inside of this ATO raid.

    This week, in a stunning sequel to Steve Simmons revelation of multi-million dollar tax fraud and money-laundering in New Zealand, over 120 Australian Tax Office (ATO) investigators conducted an unannounced “SWAT” type raid on the Exclusive Brethren's prestigious HQ in Sydney, and a dozen other brethren businesses and homes. The primary targets were the Universal Business Team (UBT) – the church's finance wing, OneSchool Global, who educates the cult's 9500 children, and Rapid Relief Team, (RRT) their PR operation. Rick Grosse, CFO of OneSchool global was interrogated and his phone was seized. Ron Arkcoll, MD of RRT, had both his home and business raided, and files, computers and phones were secured under police guard and removed from UBT HQ for further analysis. Damian Hastie, creator of the openandcandid.com investigative platform, sits down with the Get-a-Life team to give us an overview of the staggering wealth of the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church, and its labyrinth of interconnected businesses, trusts and charities through which billions of dollars are disseminated, ultimately enriching a tiny elite at the top of what Damien likens to a Ponzi Scheme. This podcast includes breaking news from our insider network about the ATO raid that goes well beyond what was reported in mainstream media, and a shocking image of a ritual led by cult leader Bruce Hales in his recent visit to the USA.

    EDIT**Craig has asked for a minor correction to be added. In this podcast he says that Eva Hales was withdrawn from in 1965, but she was actually never in fellowship. News reports from the time describe how Eva disagreed with Exclusive Brethren doctrine, and as a result she was ultimately cut off from her Exclusive Brethren family due to the new separation doctrine. Her death certificate gives her cause of death as suicide 'while in a state of mental depression'.** Bruce D Hales - Elect Vessel - Man of God - Leader of the PBCC. But who is the man?

It is a credit to the platform that on this 100th podcast an anonymous insider felt safe enough to join us. In just under 18 months the movement has catalogued many harrowing stories, and exposed the many malpractices, harm and detriment caused by the leaders of this cult. The evidence is building through the stories told. We probe into the history of the Hales dynasty; a story that dates back to the 1960s. We delve into the accumulation of wealth attached to the family and illustrate the contrast between Bruce Hales' lifestyle and that of the ordinary members of the brethren. Relating first hand accounts of interactions with Bruce Hales gives an insight into the character of the man and the ultimate control he has over the brethren. Where will it end? How much wealth is enough for Bruce? We speculate on the answer to those questions, but extend an open invitation to Bruce to join us on a podcast to tell us himself.

    Beverly Richardson takes us on a thought provoking journey from the Open Brethren to the Exclusive Brethren. As an only child, when the separation rule came in, it was devastating to lose all her friends. We can see so many of the similarities that are still happening today such as the explicit narratives created to shut someone up, young women having priestly visits alone with men, wills be transferred after someone leaves or gets sick, and the isolation that's created when a family member gets confined. Thankfully, Beverly had a loving father and mother who allowed her to keep her voice and this may have been the thing that saved her from a life of submission. Join us as Beverly shows us what it is like to use that voice to stand up for ourselves. Also, before this podcast starts, due to recent events, we have some advice to leavers on what these priests CANNOT do.

    TRIGGER WARNING- This podcast contains discussion on sexual abuse. The ripples of harm from the PBCC extend beyond their own church. Meet Sarah - an ex member of the Shanklin Gospel Hall. This small group are believed to be an offshoot of the Exclusive brethren or PBCC as they are now known. Sarah is an author and accredited researcher that has spent much of her time uncovering her own past and the links to spiritual abuse. She has been also diagnosed with autism and goes into her links of abuse with those that are autistic. Elders of this church followed the teachings of JT Jr. The absolute belief that their way is right and any other pathway is darkness will resonate with all ex members of the PBCC and could serve to help those inside to realize that there are many totalitarian religious groups who belief they are the only ones with ‘the truth' This coercion, used to uphold this belief, is now acknowledged as spiritual abuse. This type of abuse is becoming more recognized and there is a strong movement adding to the already agreed list of abuses. Join us as we explore exactly what spiritual abuse is and how to spot the warning signs of it.

    his a powerful and honest podcast of what it is like if you are born gay in the PBCC. Craig, Ben, Fritz & Paul, Stephane, Ross, Jacky, Gilli and Abi navigate a taboo subject that is dealt with in very extreme measures in the PBCC. We know the PBCC is very archaic in their understanding of being born gay, but what will it take for them to realize this problem they have is not going away? The team go through Fritz's t-shirt he wore to a pride march, that had multiple slogans written on it. Everything that was written on it was said to him by the PBCC. Ben goes through his Instagram posts that had graphic homophobic comments from Steve Hales' grandson and gives a brief update on his death threat he received. The breakthrough they all had after leaving was finding the support, love and acceptance they never got inside. Breaking free from the narratives, brainwashed into them, was found during meet ups, LGBTQ group activities and realizing how twisted the PBCC use the bible scriptures. Most of all, THEY ALL want to help those stuck inside that are in the same position they were in.

    One week ago, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin had anti-corruption campaigner Alexei Navalny murdered. Navalny had already been confined to a remote arctic prison, and spend years in detention, much of it in solitary confinement. His crime? He had exposed vast corruption across the Russian elite, describing Russia as ruled by "crooks and thieves” and pointed out the opulent lifestyles of senior officials their vast holdings and luxury property. Now meet Steve Simmons - or perhaps you have met Steve before – in his podcast that was released just two days before Alexi Navalny's death. In that podcast, Steve exposed the PBCC leadership as crooks and thieves, and pointed out the opulent lifestyles of senior officials their vast holdings and luxury property. Steve has already spend much time in solitary confinement, deprived of his wife, family, house and every friend in the brethren that he had ever known. He was shut up 4 years ago, then withdrawn from 2 years ago, both on 22nd February. This podcast marks the anniversary of those cruel and unjustifiable actions. The PBCC is currently trying to wrest from him his business and business premises. We will discover in this episode the devious, dishonest and inhumane processes by which Steve is currently being destroyed. The first page of the PBCC website proclaims the following message; “We endeavor to live in the generous and caring spirit of Christ our savior. Welcome! The Plymouth Brethren Christian Church is a Christian fellowship based on the Holy Bible as the Word of God. We invite you to learn more about our faith, our beliefs, values and our way of life.” So let us take that invitation, and learn a little more about the Exclusive Brethren - by listening to Steve Simmons on Get-A-Life Podcast #95.

    Former school trustee, Steve Simmons, explains how a huge OneSchool Global money laundering operation could have put up to $100 million into Gareth and Charles Hales' pockets. We hear how PBCC leader Bruce Hales played a key role in the illegal operation that took charitably donated, tax receipted funds intended for the school. The brethren now face an “Aberdeen” level crisis. Their “Man of God”is shown to be a morally bankrupt kleptomaniac. OneSchool Global, whose values claim to be “Integrity – uprightness, honesty and decorous conduct, governed by the Holy Bible” now appears to be a key player in a global crime syndicate. With Bruce chronically, and perhaps terminally ill, and his sons engaged in a deadly battle of succession, this crisis will plunge the already crumbling PBCC into chaos.

    Religious communities must embrace diversity and support LGBTQIA+ individuals. The impact of discrimination on mental health is too great to ignore. Our anonymous guest from Canada takes us on her journey to finding her freedom and support outside the toxic culture of the PBCC. Craig and Ben join in our discussion of their shared experiences leaving the PBCC due to the unaccepting views on anyone associated in this community. (Jenny) reads her letter of goodbye to her parents and we discuss the lack of education and understanding about sex and homosexuality in these communities that has led to rampant misconceptions, fixation on sexual relationships, and deep-seated guilt and shame. The podcast also revealed the struggles faced by teachers within these communities. They feared repercussions for speaking out against racism and homophobia, leading to a high turnover of teachers. The impact of a fear-based stance on the entire community is truly sobering. LGBTQ+ individuals deserve acceptance and understanding, not discrimination and fear. It's time to create supportive, inclusive environments and find ways to help them understand that you cannot pray the gay away!
