The Rapture may not be imminent, but Rapid Relief Team v Bawtinheimer certainly is, with the first hearing in this critical court case this week. We bring you the latest twists and turns as RRT's lawyers Church and Graif try every trick in the book to escape Randazza's revenge - and fail. While the PBCC's legal, political and publicity platforms collapse around his ears, Bruce boldly bullshits on, too drunk, stupid or both to understand that it is game over for the hateful Hales dynasty. We bring you some samples of his recent “helpful ministry” in which his casual cruelty, misogyny and “shoot the messenger” approach to his parishioner's problems is proudly paraded. And yes, we are launching another round of fundraising for the ongoing legal expenses of defending Get-A-Life Podcast against Bruce's increasingly desperate efforts to silence the voices exposing him as the fraud and imposter he is. If you feel GAL has brought you any measure of insight, wisdom, humor or empowerment, please give a little back to the cause to keep us on the air!Link for insiders- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/zp1w4gp3bljqdhv8x9jlj/45000-172.mp4?rlkey=ld4y9cvpfnu7b3tx8luvjcqoy&st=gfr0z4dm&dl=0Link to Court Hearing June 18 2pm Pacific- https://www.cand.uscourts.gov/jstLink to GoFundMe- https://gofund.me/8b9f805ccTo 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
Ten straight up weeks, then a sharp pullback — and if you're two to five years on either side of retirement, the fear is real. This is the Retirement Red Zone: the last mile into and out of your retirement date, and the most fragile window in your entire financial life.This week on Money On Tap, Ben Brayshaw and Dan Michelon turn last week's market-history conversation into a practical playbook for anyone near retirement: how to avoid the paralysis that wrecked so many retirements in 2008–2009, and what to actually do right now.What you'll learn:Why a 35-year-old and a 65-year-old should do the opposite thing in a pullbackThe accumulation-to-distribution switch most people don't know existsWhat history says: after 40 sharp selloffs since 1980, markets were higher 75% of the time a year laterSequence-of-returns risk — why the first five years decide everythingBuilding a 1–3 year retirement runway with ~4% cash and T-billsRebalancing a 60/40 that drifted to 75/25Diversifying away from a top-10 that's now 40% of the S&P (8 of them tech)Buffered ETFs — a 20% buffer with a 12–15% cap, explainedFoundational income, annuities, and the tax-aware withdrawal piece most firms skipPlus Money In The News:Consumer prices rose 4.2% annually in May — the highest in three years (CNBC, Jeff Cox)Elon Musk poised to become the first trillionaire — and just how much a trillion dollars really isA top JP Morgan strategist's four ways to prep your portfolio for “considerable danger” (David Kelly)Mentioned on air: Our short sequence-of-returns risk video — watch it at brayshawfinancial.com.Read the companion blog: brayshawfinancial.com/blogSchedule a free consultation: app.greminders.com/t/9f3ce72e/initialconsultaFull Money On Tap episode library: brayshawfinancial.com/money-on-tapContact UsPhone: 855-226-8551Email: info@yourmoneyontap.comOffice: 116 South River Road, Bedford, NH 03110Web: brayshawfinancial.comWhat is the retirement red zone, and why does it matter? The retirement red zone is the roughly ten-year window covering the five years before and the five years after your retirement date. It matters more than almost any other period because of sequence-of-returns risk: a major market downturn while you're beginning to withdraw income can permanently damage the plan, even if the market later recovers. Two people who invest identically but retire a few years apart can end up with opposite outcomes based solely on timing. Navigating the red zone means shifting from maximizing gains to mitigating losses — stress-testing the plan, building a cash runway, rebalancing, diversifying, and adding guardrails like buffered ETFs and guaranteed income.
Nearly every major index is at a record high — and everyone's asking the same question: is this the beginning of something great, or the end of something that's gone too far?This week on Money On Tap, Ben Brayshaw and Dan Michelon take that question apart with 75 years of market history, a few statistics that genuinely surprised them, and a clear look at what a record high means for you — whether you're decades from retirement or already drawing income.What you'll learn:The Fidelity data showing investing at an all-time high beats investing on a random dayWhy a record high is usually a signal of a healthy economy, not a topA walk through 1982, 1987, 1995–1999, 2000, 2009, and 2020Why today's AI market looks more like 1995 than the 2000 dot-com bubbleWhy timing the market is a loser's game — and why taking profits isn't fearSequence-of-returns risk — why the first years of retirement decide everythingBuffered ETFs — staying in the market with downside guardrailsAnnuities with lifetime income and long-term-care ridersPlus Money In The News:American financial literacy hits a 10-year low — U.S. adults answered just 47% of the TIAA Institute's 2026 questions correctly (Yahoo Finance, Kerry Hannon)America's data-center build-out falls behind schedule — Google's $80B equity raise and what it signals about AI's real cost (WSJ, Katherine Blunt)Exxon chief warns oil could spike to $160–$170 a barrel as strategic reserves run thin (Fox Business, Robert McGreevy)Mentioned on air: Our short sequence-of-returns risk video — watch it at brayshawfinancial.com.Read the companion blog: brayshawfinancial.com/blogSchedule a free consultation: app.greminders.com/t/9f3ce72e/initialconsultaFull Money On Tap episode library: brayshawfinancial.com/money-on-tapContact UsPhone: 855-226-8551Email: info@yourmoneyontap.comOffice: 116 South River Road, Bedford, NH 03110Web: brayshawfinancial.comWhat is the retirement red zone, and why does it matter?

On the heels of the global outrage over the PBCC pet ban, Bruce Hales isn't backing down. Instead, he's reaching back into the archives and resurrecting some of his most infamous ministry from 2003. And he didn't do it once. He did it two Thursdays in a row.That tells you this isn't about nostalgia or revisiting church history. It's about re-establishing boundaries and reminding members exactly where the lines are.The reaction inside has been unlike anything I've seen in years. Members are questioning, families are arguing, young people are pushing back, and priests are being left to explain how rules from 2003 are supposed to work in 2026.Some members think Bruce Hales has completely lost touch with reality. Others see this as the "door" they have been waiting for: their Aberdeen moment all over again. Meanwhile, parents are scrambling to contain the pushback happening inside their own homes as younger members hear teachings that many never experienced the first time around.How extreme are these rules? Imagine being told that entering a restaurant is a spiritual breach because worldly people use the same door. Imagine being told that a football stadium is off limits because worldly people walk through the entrance. Imagine being told that a swimming pool, skating rink, or public event becomes sinful simply because you're standing shoulder-to-shoulder with ordinary members of society.That isn't an exaggeration. Those are Bruce Hales' own words.Head to 5:36 for the first meeting and hear the full audio for yourself.Then jump to 1:24:40 for the second recording, where the separation doctrine becomes even more explicit.Many insiders believe Bruce Hales is deliberately creating an Aberdeen-style moment, forcing members to choose a side and exposing who is prepared to follow him wherever he leads. Others believe this is a final attempt to tighten control before eventually passing the torch to the next generation of leadership.Whatever the motivation, one thing is clear: these recordings are not the words of a mainstream Christian church. They reveal a system built on separation, conformity, and control. Judge for yourself. But to us, this is about as culty as it can get!Link for Insiders- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/lwzczczbk9mtr0ioa6ij2/45000-171.mp4?rlkey=wthvys046gqjilhr1kqky0dvm&st=9v4rzl0s&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/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 #cultescape #cultescapestory #bully #bullying #brokenfamily #awareness #cultescape #cultandculturepodcast #cultescapee #cultescapeer #cultescapeeinterview #askingforhelp
61% of Americans now fear running out of money in retirement more than they fear death itself. Half of all U.S. households approaching retirement are at risk of falling short of their current standard of living.This week on Money On Tap, Ben Brayshaw and Dan Michelon sit with the topic that shows up in the conference room more than any other these days: retirement anxiety — and why so many Americans feel unprepared.What you'll learn:The five fears inside retirement anxiety — and which one most plans don't addressWhy retirement is structurally more anxious today than a generation agoThe Honeymoon, the Shock, and the Reframe — the three phases of every retirementWhy men, executives, military, and first responders are hit hardest by the identity lossThe new 100% income rule (the old 60–70% rule of thumb is dead)The six-part income plan that actually reduces anxietySequence-of-returns risk — and why the first five years of retirement determine everythingSocial Security in 2026: 77% benefit, $1.5T bipartisan proposal, what it means for youWhy phased / consulting retirement is the underrated soft landingThe emotional plan nobody writes down — hobbies, friendships, purpose, marriagePlus Money In The News:Can the stock market save Social Security?

A recent Allianz survey found that 61% of Americans fear running out of money in retirement more than they fear death itself. The shift reflects structural changes: pensions have largely disappeared, 401(k)s placed the risk of retirement success on individuals, life expectancy has stretched, inflation has accelerated, healthcare costs are rising, and Social Security is on track for a benefit cut. The fear is rational — and the planning response is to build a multi-source income plan rather than to hope a portfolio alone is enough.
Two retirees with the same balance can take wildly different incomes home — it's not about returns, it's about taxes.This week on Money On Tap, Ben Brayshaw and Dan Michelon unpack The Science of Retirement Income — How to Create Income Alpha: the practice of beating the market not by picking better stocks, but by keeping more of what you already have through tax-aware planning.What you'll learn:What "Income Alpha" actually means — and why it's worth 15–30% more retirement income, year after yearHow Social Security gets taxed at 0%, 50%, or 85% — and how to control which one applies to youThe Roth IRA conversion ladder: filling the 22% bracket today to avoid the 30%+ bracket laterThe lesser-known after-tax account strategy — converting future ordinary-income tax into capital-gains taxQualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) — the single highest-leverage move for charitable retireesDonor-Advised Funds and Charitable Trusts — stacking giving with Roth conversion yearsThe hidden IRMAA Medicare tax — and the income thresholds that can cost you $1,000–$3,000 a yearThe Widow Tax Trap — the most damaging tax in retirement and how to plan around itWhy the year of a spouse's passing is the last big planning window — and what to do with itWhat 1–2 years of tax returns will tell a good planner that your investment statement never willPlus Money In The News:Weight-loss drug developers line up to tap a $150B market (Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk, the pill-vs-shot race)Nike stock tumbles 13% to an 11-year low on China weaknessAverage tax refund up 11% from a year ago — IRS data and what it means for inflationFree resource: Email us with "Charitable Giving Booklet" in the subject and we'll send our charitable giving guide.Read the companion blog: brayshawfinancial.com/blogSchedule a free consultation: app.greminders.com/t/9f3ce72e/initialconsultaFull Money On Tap episode library: brayshawfinancial.com/money-on-tapContact UsPhone: 855-226-8551Email: info@yourmoneyontap.comOffice: 116 South River Road, Bedford, NH 03110Web: brayshawfinancial.comWhy do Americans fear running out of money more than death?

In this very relatable episode, we meet Rachel, a young woman struggling with feeling unseen, misunderstood, and disconnected at home. With a painful relationship with her mother and a deep sense of loneliness, she turns to unhealthy escapes like talking to boys and engaging in inappropriate behaviors, searching for comfort, validation, and a sense of being wanted. Beneath the acting out is someone carrying real pain and longing to feel loved and understood.Dr. Zimmerman helps Rachel explore what is really driving these behaviors, explaining how unhealthy coping mechanisms can develop when someone feels emotionally neglected or unheard. Together, they discuss the importance of finding healthier ways to feel valued and connected, while learning not to define yourself by your struggles or mistakes.To be a future guest (yes, we can distort your voice):Please visit LivingLchaim.com/podcasttherapyYou can explore the world of mental health with our other show"That's An Issue":https://plinkhq.com/i/1607752110/e/?to_pageReach out to Dr. Z here:Child and Adult Psychological Services, PLLCEmail: Info@caapsgroup.comOffice: (718) 338-4477Website: https://caapsgroup.comLchaim.
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.

4.3 million industrial robots are already deployed globally. Robot costs have dropped 50% in 30 years. Payback periods are now 1 to 3 years. The reshoring of American manufacturing isn't a forecast — it's a buy order.This week on Money On Tap, Ben Brayshaw and Dan Michelon continue the series with The Railroads of Robotics — the picks-and-shovels playbook for physical AI and the next great industrial build-out.What you'll learn:Why three forces — reshoring, labor shortage, and 1–3 year robot payback — make automation inevitableThe four investable layers: robots · AI systems · software · hardwareA walk-through of the public names: Rockwell Automation, Teradyne, Emerson Electric, NVIDIA, Tesla (Optimus), AeroVironment, Applied Materials, AutodeskHow cobots are reshaping skilled-trades work — and what the NVIDIA CEO's "three-day work week" prediction really meansFive robotics-themed ETFs walked through: ROBO, BOTZ, IBOT, ARKQ, ROBTWhat to tell the kids and grandkids about which jobs will actually exist in 10 yearsThe geopolitical risk that could shelve this entire build-out overnightPlus Money In The News:United Airlines hikes fares up to 20% — CEO admits passing 100% of jet-fuel cost to consumersMusk vs. Altman: a $134B suit heading to court while SpaceX ($1.25T) and OpenAI ($850B) IPOs loomAdobe announces a $25B buyback (25% of market cap) while Big Tech keeps laying off — and the buyback nuance most investors missRead the companion blog: brayshawfinancial.com/blogSchedule a free consultation: app.greminders.com/t/9f3ce72e/initialconsultaFull Money On Tap episode library: brayshawfinancial.com/money-on-tapContact UsPhone: 855-226-8551Email: info@yourmoneyontap.comOffice: 116 South River Road, Bedford, NH 03110Web: brayshawfinancial.comWhat is "physical AI" and why does it matter for investors? Physical AI is the application of artificial intelligence to machines that operate in the real world — industrial robots, cobots, autonomous vehicles, drones, and humanoid robots. Unlike AI software that lives only on a screen, physical AI directly performs labor: assembling products, moving materials, inspecting quality, and operating equipment. For investors, it converts the AI thesis into measurable productivity gains and physical reshored capacity.
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 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
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
Space just became an asset class. Q1 2026 alone saw $36 billion deployed — and the SpaceX IPO could be the first trillion-dollar offering in history.This week on Money On Tap, Ben Brayshaw and Dan Michelon walk through what they're calling the railroads of space — the picks-and-shovels companies quietly building the rails that everything else will ride on.What you'll learn:Why the SpaceX IPO is the single biggest catalyst hanging over the entire sectorThe three investable layers: access · infrastructure · application & dataA walk-through of the public names already in motion — RKLB, ASTS, IRDM, PL, RDWWhere robotics fits — and why Honeybee Robotics and Redwire matter more than people thinkThe four real risks: capital intensity, government dependence, boom-bust speculation, and SpaceX disruptionWhy an actively managed space-themed ETF may be the most prudent way for retail investors to participatePlus Money In The News:Active ETFs cross $1 trillion — and why the cost trade-off is worth it for many investorsRound Hill's DRAM ETF pulls $1B in 10 days, giving U.S. investors backdoor access to Samsung and SK Hynix$4 gas drives consumer confidence to a record-low 47.6% — lower than 2008 — and inflation expectations climb toward 4.8%Read the companion blog: brayshawfinancial.com/blogSchedule a free consultation: app.greminders.com/t/9f3ce72e/initialconsultaFull Money On Tap episode library: brayshawfinancial.com/money-on-tapContact UsPhone: 855-226-8551Email: info@yourmoneyontap.comOffice: 116 South River Road, Bedford, NH 03110Web: brayshawfinancial.comWhat is the "picks and shovels" approach to space investing?

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
Tax filing reports what already happened. Tax planning is what puts you back in control.If you just finished paying your 2025 taxes and you're wondering how the bill got that big, this week's Money On Tap is for you.Ben Brayshaw and Dan Michelon walk through the year-round tax strategies most investors — and most financial advisors — are quietly missing. From bracket management and income engineering to real estate depreciation, solo 401(k) contributions, charitable trusts, and the often-overlooked Augusta Rule, this is a working playbook for keeping more of what you earn.What you'll learn:Why tax planning beats tax filing every year — and what most advisors skipHow to engineer your income to stay in a lower bracket without changing your lifestyleThe difference between one-off Roth conversions and a real 10-year Roth strategyReal estate deductions, cost segregation, and the Augusta Rule explainedSolo 401(k) vs SEP IRA — and why business owners routinely leave $30K+ on the tableCharitable remainder trusts: the tax strategy almost nobody talks aboutWhy today's 37% top federal bracket is historically low — and what that means for your retirement planPlus Money In The News:Google's $10M commitment to train American manufacturing workers on AIThe cost to raise a child in the US now tops $300,000South Hadley, MA rejects a 50% property tax hike by a 2-to-1 voteRead the companion blog: brayshawfinancial.com/blogSchedule a free consultation: app.greminders.com/t/9f3ce72e/initialconsultaFull Money On Tap episode library: brayshawfinancial.com/money-on-tapContact UsPhone: 855-226-8551Email: info@yourmoneyontap.comOffice: 116 South River Road, Bedford, NH 03110Web: brayshawfinancial.comWhat is the "picks and shovels" approach to space investing?

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. The actions tell the story.And right now, the story is very clear.Link 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
If you missed just the 10 best days in the market over the last 25 years, you would have cut your returns nearly in half. Miss the best 30 days, and you might as well have left the money in a money market. Miss the best 50 days, and you are actually losing money. That is the cost of a market myth. In this week's Money On Tap, Ben Brayshaw and Dan Michelon break down the most common — and most expensive — market myths that quietly erode investor wealth: "Sell in May and go away," "now is the wrong time to invest," "cash is safer than stocks," "investing is just legalized gambling," "more holdings means better diversification," "gold is a safe haven," "bonds are risk free," and more. With hard numbers, clear analogies, and three decades of planning experience between them, Ben and Dan sort fact from folklore — and lay out a disciplined, statistics-backed approach to growing and protecting your money. You will learn:Why missing the market's best 10 days can cut your long-term returns in halfWhy lump-sum investing beats dollar-cost averaging 67-75% of the timeHow a $100,000 in cash since 1992 compares to the same $100,000 in the S&P 500Why 2,900 holdings may actually be less diversified than 500The truth about gold, bonds, and "safe" investmentsHow a $50-per-month investor can still build real wealthPlus "Money In The News":NAHB home builder sentiment drops to a 7-month low amid material, labor, and oil pressuresTrump Accounts sign up 5 million kids — with community sponsorship changing the gameMarch CPI surges 0.9% as the Iran conflict reshapes the inflation outlookResources & LinksWebsite: https://www.brayshawfinancial.com/Money On Tap podcast hub: https://www.brayshawfinancial.com/money-on-tapFull Money On Tap episode library: https://www.brayshawfinancial.com/money-on-tap-podcast-contentRead the companion blog: https://www.brayshawfinancial.com/blogOur planning process: https://www.brayshawfinancial.com/our-processSchedule a free consultation: https://www.brayshawfinancial.com/contactRelated Episodes:Retirement distribution strategy: how to keep more of your income → https://www.brayshawfinancial.com/money-on-tapThe difference between accumulation and distribution → https://www.brayshawfinancial.com/money-on-tapTax-smart investing and why most investors overpay → https://www.brayshawfinancial.com/money-on-tapHow to vet a financial advisor (the questions that matter) → https://www.brayshawfinancial.com/money-on-tapContact UsPhone: 855-226-8551Email: info@yourmoneyontap.comOffice: 116 South River Road, Bedford, NH 03110Web: brayshawfinancial.comWhat is the difference between tax filing and tax planning? Tax filing is reporting last year's income and paying the tax you owe. Tax planning is a year-round strategy that uses the tax code intentionally — through bracket management, deductions, retirement contributions, and income engineering — to legally reduce future tax liability and protect long-term wealth.
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.

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.

⚠️ 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.

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
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
Trigger Warning: This episode discusses pornography addiction and sexual content.In this very honest conversation, Yaakov opens up about his chronic struggle with pornography addiction and the pain it has caused in every part of his life. Coming from a difficult childhood and becoming a baal teshuva, he shares how the lying, the shame, and the addiction led to separation from his wife and left him feeling disconnected from real Judaism. For Yaakov, watching porn often became the only way he felt soothed, even as it pulled him further from the person he wanted to be.Dr. Z helps him look beneath the surface, asking what is really driving the addiction and why he runs toward it when emotions feel too heavy. Yaakov uses intellectualization as a defense because it feels safe, but it keeps him from feeling what he needs to feel in order to heal. This conversation explores how all of us use defenses to avoid pain, and how the real work begins when we stop running and learn to sit with what is uncomfortable.To be a future guest (yes, we can distort your voice):Please visit LivingLchaim.com/podcasttherapyYou can explore the world of mental health with our other show "That's An Issue":https://plinkhq.com/i/1607752110/e/?to=pageReach out to Dr. Z here:Child and Adult Psychological Services, PLLCEmail: Info@caapsgroup.comOffice: (718) 338-4477Website: https://caapsgroup.comLchaim.
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. But then, what Hales ever scored a passing grade for integrity?After the team has finished politely and respectfully analyzing the Profound Wisdom of the Mog, we move on to some scathing emails from insiders who have much to say about the current leadership.

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
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.

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.

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
In this very honest episode, we meet Chaya, a mother trying to navigate the overwhelming challenge of raising teenage boys in a world filled with inappropriate content. After discovering that one of her sons had been exposed to pornography, she opens up about the fear and uncertainty surrounding how to support him, while also worrying about her younger son following a similar path. With different personalities and different needs, knowing how to approach each child feels daunting. Dr. Z helps Chaya face the guilt so many parents carry and reminds her that the goal is not perfection, but progress. Together, they explore how parents can respond with strength, compassion, and clarity, even when they feel unsure. This episode offers validation for every parent who has felt helpless or afraid, and shares a powerful reminder that to struggle is human, and to grow from it is what truly matters.To be a future guest (yes, we can distort your voice):Please visit https://www.livinglchaim.com/guest-dr-zYou can explore the world of mental health with our other show"That's An Issue":https://www.livinglchaim.com/shows/thats-an-issueReach out to Dr. Z here:Child and Adult Psychological Services, PLLCEmail: Info@caapsgroup.comOffice: (718) 338-4477Website: https://caapsgroup.comLchaim.
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
The Brethren are revolting! Not since the Aberdeen scandal have so many of the rank-and-file PBCC members been so outraged by the folly of their leaders. The sight and sound of a smirking Lloyd Grimshaw lobbing softball questions to Bruce's repulsive whisky-soaked spawn, to be answered by a pre-scripted farrago of lies and evasions has been the last straw for much of the abused and battered flock. We have picked out a further selection of angry and heartfelt letters from current PBCC members who feel scorned and betrayed by these arrogant, entitled pricks. We also address the outrageous MOG-cast claim that families are not requited to cut-off former members, with a shocking recording taken just this week of Cheryl's husband Curtis having the door slammed in his face as he seeks to have a discussion with Cheryl's siblings in Maple Creek. We, the “opposers” the “apostates” the “disaffected former members” have often been accused of bitterness, and told we should “move on”. And so, on this podcast, we step aside. Dear PBCC members, this is not US taking about you and your crooked cult, this is YOU, your own current members, speaking out about the reality of life in your “gilded cage” and the compulsive lying of your greedy leaders.

This short but explosive episode centers around a leaked voicemail in which the Man of God, Bruce Hales, brutally attacks and humiliates his nephew, Scott.The Hales boys' recent podcasts have painted PLYMOUTH BRETHREN CHRISTIAN CHURCH leader as a man of infinite kindness and compassion, a champion of the underdog, and full of self-effacing humility.

Democracy belongs to the people, not the PBCC.The cult that told its followers not to vote has now collided straight into Australia's democracy.In the 2025 federal election, members of the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church (PBCC) — also known as the Exclusive Brethren — appeared at polling booths across the country, aggressively backing political parties they once called “worldly and evil.”This video exposes their coordinated influence, the hypocrisy behind their so-called “volunteering,” and the rising public backlash against intimidation at the polls. Leaked audio from a PBCC member shows just how far they went to conceal their illicit campaign.

Voices From Inside- Part 3: The Cult Can't Spin This OneThey can polish their PR and call it “the Lord's work,” but the mask is slipping fast. In this third round of leaked letters from inside the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church, insiders expose what's really happening behind the glossy podcasts and fake smiles. From “vision” surveys prying into private finances, to device surveillance, arranged marriages, and booze-fueled hypocrisy that would make any preacher blush.The truth hits hard. These are not outsiders talking, they're voices from within this sect, finally done with the fear, the lies, and the manipulation dressed up as faith. One writer says it best: “Some of us don't want to go anywhere. We just want to breathe.” That's the sound of people waking up.If you're still inside, this episode is your mirror: raw, defiant, and impossible to ignore. The control is cracking, the insiders are talking, and the truth is louder than their spin.They can own the microphones inside but out here, the truth has the volume knob.Link for insiders- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ndgikstynic4rfkfvgvw7/45000-149pt3.mp4?rlkey=5c5utgurv33v68w3kw0h4cnka&st=nk7uqwok&dl=0Link to Part 1 Insider emails- https://youtu.be/qtrIJv6yh6k?si=hdQ7f86KNOcg-UY7Link to Part 2 Insider emails- https://youtu.be/oXBgxpzM0UcLink to articles- https://archive.ph/Ohu6ihttps://archive.ph/Tezn2https://archive.ph/7d78uhttps://archive.ph/pOe7Shttps://archive.is/pUnB7https://archive.ph/1fJVGhttps://archive.ph/8xQJCLink to PBCC podast #1- https://youtu.be/gfdWbjmqv2s?si=wfjhfjaOiFExObdJTo 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
JAILHOUSE LETTERS – Voices from inside the cult!As a looming crisis engulfs the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church, Cheryl's inbox fills with long and detailed emails from current PBCC members, desperate to escape, but trapped by the prison bars of fear, family and finance. Most of these heartbreaking messages are confidential, but a few brave souls have given us permission to read out their accounts – giving us a deeply disturbing picture of what life is REALLY like inside the cult. Before we dive into the letters, we have a round-table discussion about the dramatic events of the past few days and perform a public autopsy of Lloyd Grimshaw's preposterous podcast with the heroic Hales boys. Using a few choice quotes from the Ministry of Bruce D Hales, we expose the profound contradictions between what the Hales-spawn say– and what Daddy ministered. Worldly friends, boats, fishing, sports, Rupert Murdoch AKA, the Man of Sin, were all condemned by Daddy in the strongest language. Now Gareth, Dean, Greg, and Charles are singing like birds, cheerfully endorsing and confessing to sins for which anyone else would have been thrown overboard.

JAILHOUSE LETTERS: Messages to BruceIn this second collection of letters from inside the cult, members share a revealing analysis of their own community divided by age and shaped by the ministry under which they were raised. The writer explores how each generation's conditioning defines its current state of compliance, confusion, or cognitive dissonance.They describe the unwavering loyalty of those now in their 40s and 50s—men and women molded by the militant, fascistic discipline of the Symington era. Then comes the “lost generation,” those in their 30s and 40s, home-schooled under John Hales's weak and uncertain leadership, left adrift and disillusioned.The collection concludes with several brief but powerful messages directed to the Man of God himself, questions that cut straight to the heart of the matter, and that Lloyd Grimshaw's sycophantic, self-congratulatory podcast would never dare to raise.Link for insiders- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/gr1ipf429lt5rtsy50joa/45000-148pt2.mp4?rlkey=uizhtz971lggiaerk5kdyjjg4&st=823ydic4&dl=0Link to Part 1 Insider emails- https://youtu.be/qtrIJv6yh6k?si=hdQ7f86KNOcg-UY7Link to articles- https://archive.ph/Ohu6ihttps://archive.ph/Tezn2https://archive.ph/7d78uhttps://archive.ph/pOe7Shttps://archive.is/pUnB7https://archive.ph/1fJVGhttps://archive.ph/8xQJCLink to PBCC podast #1- https://youtu.be/gfdWbjmqv2s?si=wfjhfjaOiFExObdJTo 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
