We know the common narrative that the makr of the beast is a future technology that we await for that will impose itself upon the world to bring the image of the Beast that everyone will have to choose to worship or will be killed. But we have to fit every technology into the system to test it.Through the eras we have had different accusations and speculations, but they are merely that. No one knows for sure if there will be a mark and what it might be without supposing the next latest device. However, taking it from a practical level, it is something opposed to god and a mark received due to that.We trace the modern doctrine from the Plymouth Brethren and John Darby to the circles of the occult and claim of Aleister Crowley that he was the Beast. Despite that, the Darby and Scofield interpretation of Pretribulation Rapture and dispensation theory led to modern day speculations of occult images and symbols as what to look for in interpretation. yet that is not necessarily based on scripture itself.

Relief or Deception? How do the Plymouth Brethren hand out branded food and water bottles while ignoring the trauma their church branded on ex-members?In this episode, we sit down to expose the hypocrisy behind the Rapid Relief Team (RRT) and the PBCC's so-called charitable work. From photo-ops at public events to the misuse of “charity” as a shield, we reveal how their charitable status is used for reputation management while survivors are left carrying lifelong scars.Ex-members share the posts and public displays that hurt them most, showing the real cost behind the Brethren's carefully polished image. Their biggest issue? The hypocrisy of supporting public causes that mirror the very problems festering in their own backyard.This is Part 2 of our deep dive into the RRT — continuing to uncover how the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church (Exclusive Brethren) use “charity” to cover their own abuses while silencing survivors.Link for insiders- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/v3ey61jk69lm6bbpod8em/45001-144.mp4?rlkey=t677lwltdchm3lokbtpbvovia&st=1rc8ji6b&dl=0Link to articles:Rat Poison article-https://archive.is/jvNM0Area N Open letter- https://www.futureofarean.com/moving-forward/NZ Compost link- https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/landscaping-firm-azwood-ltd-fined-144000-for-compost-runoff-harming-tasman-streams/Z7H4OL2QGBBDFCCNWMHFF5HOHU/Deer abuse article- https://www.thepress.co.nz/nz-news/350451583/group-filmed-man-hit-deer-his-car-gratuitous-actTo 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

What if a secretive cult used a disaster relief charity to dodge taxes and launder its image? This investigation exposes how the PBCC created the RRT to secure tax breaks, win government grants, and hide abuse—backed by leaks, records, and insider evidence, this is the story the RRT doesn't want you to hear.Chapter 1 00:00:47:04The RRT claimed to donate 16,000 food boxes after the La Soufrière eruption—but over 90% were paid for by the governments of Saint Vincent and Canada, exposing the PBCC's pattern of exaggeration and deception.Chapter 2 00:08:23:01To avoid losing tax-exempt status, the PBCC copied Scientology's playbook—rebranding, lobbying, and launching a flashy disaster relief charity to fake public benefit and keep government subsidies.Chapter 3 00:26:07:11When questioned by the UK Parliament in 2012, Garth Christie and Bruce Hazell failed to provide any genuine examples of public charity, instead offering a handful of staged events and misleading anecdotes stretching back to the 19th century.Chapter 4 00:45:22:13The Exclusive Brethren rejects charity not out of neglect, but by doctrine. Since J. N. Darby, its leaders have taught that the outside world is evil and unworthy of compassion—banning philanthropy as a matter of principle, not oversight.Chapter 5 00:59:27:22The PBCC directs nearly all its charitable donations back into its own internal network of trusts and businesses, leveraging just under 2% for public-facing projects to qualify for government tax rebates. Chapter 6 01:19:53:11From photobombing public health ceremonies to branding burger buns, the RRT prioritizes publicity over substance, sometimes taking full credit for donations made by governments or third parties..Chapter 7 01:38:13:12The RRT is the PBCC's “pretty girlfriend” in a bait-and-switch—partnering with trusted charities to hide the cult's abusive history. By hijacking goodwill, they rebrand charity events to whitewash decades of harm and control.Chapter 8 01:44:03:00The PBCC uses the Rapid Relief Team (RRT) to launder its cult reputation—hiding abuse and control behind staged charity. But as more groups learn the truth, they're cutting ties—showing that speaking out works.Chapter 9 02:02:36:17The RRT claimed a $1.9M donation after Cyclone Gabrielle—but records show most funding came from taxpayers and another charity. Much of it was spent at PBCC-owned businesses, turning disaster relief into profit.Chapter 10 02:17:56:01The Rapid Relief Team (RRT) looks charitable—but it's a front for the Plymouth Brethren cult's billion-dollar tax-free empire. Behind the red tents and PR stunts is a scheme draining public funds while offering just enough photo-op charity to stay exempt.Link for insiders- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/9xby4sx108r4z4uwd0chn/34897-139.mp4?rlkey=eux11qb1uwxvagwuix1r7cu5p&st=0h29fdn9&dl=0Link to articles-RNZ on PBCC National Assistance Fund tax breaks- https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/471553/ex-plymouth-brethren-christian-church-members-call-for-its-charitable-status-to-be-stripped?utm_source=chatgpt.comhttps://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6080541/Charity-promising-100-cent-donations-farmers-caught-spending-half-donations.htmlHow much money the ecosystem makes- https://archive.ph/mMYlvParliament – Hazell and Christie transcript.

The Brethren's bogus sanitizer scam. How the saints sold 80 tons of tap water as disinfectant in the pandemic!When the world experienced the tragedy and suffering of Covid, the Exclusive Brethren saw a golden opportunity to make quick and massive profits. Under the guise of “Caring for all men” and “Helping out in this time of crisis” they actually made matters much, much worse by flooding the market with useless and ineffective illegal disinfectants - all promoted by intensive UBT inspired advertising just overflowing with the most egregious lies and patently false claims. Specifically, this podcast tells the extraordinary story of the Ramsol disinfectant, a Quin Global brand marketed in the USA by Matthew Petersen, and in the UK by Carl Fowler. Dean Hales'Ox Tools then relabeled it as their own brand as did Zappshelter's Craig Michel, who marketed it as Zapptizer.This brazen dishonesty and calculated evil greatly enriched numerous prominent Plymouth Brethren family businesses across the USA, Canada and the UK – and of course, the Hales family of Sydney Australia, who dip their greedy fingers into any form corruption that they can find.We name and shame them all, in this raw and uncensored podcast that dips deep into the fetid cesspool that is the PBCC businessman's moral code of conduct.Link for insiders- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/f224ty6dzpyhx4btp59v8/Get-A-Life-Podcast-Ep-138-Evil-Incarnate.mp4?rlkey=2mv512nd4miikxvxgzrwx3vhn&st=682nobug&dl=0Link to articles discussed in podcast- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/zktizvqo91eya841av5n1/AGsX3BRNhcTYO8cQnNGeZ30?rlkey=vhw06yt0rtf9gfwlutyk4fcp4&st=rxo888gt&dl=0UK Biocidal Products databasehttps://www.hse.gov.uk/biocides/assets/docs/uk-authorised-biocidal-products.xlsxEU Biocidal Products databasehttps://echa.europa.eu/information-on-chemicals/biocidal-productsCraig Michel 110mph in a blizzard article:http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/scotland/tayside_and_central/6518119.stmQuin Global “Introducing Ramsol” Articlehttps://web.archive.org/web/20200409063203/http://www.quinglobal.com/news.php/Introducing-Ramsol-Actively-helping-the-current-situation-in-any-way-we-can.-64Zapptizer website:https://web.archive.org/web/20220921103338/https://www.zapptizer.com/Ez-Stak (Mike Lawrenson) webpagehttps://web.archive.org/web/20200804110955/https://ezstak-ppe.com/collections/disinfectant-spray-accessoriesCanada Proud 3rd party election campaign featuring Mile Lawrenson & Mark Bondhttps://www.elections.ca/fin/oth/thi/advert/tpdec1222/TP-0002.pdfOmaha man pleads guilty news article:https://archive.ph/WgcrZ#selection-2309.38-2893.7Nebraska Examiner article:https://nebraskaexaminer.com/briefs/omaha-businessman-pleads-guilty-to-selling-unregistered-anti-microbial-falsely-marketed-as-effective-against-covid-19/Omaha World-herald article:https://archive.ph/kIBbQKETV article:https://www.ketv.com/article/omaha-company-president-sentenced-covid-19-related-crimes/62021869DOJ Press Release 1 Quin Global:https://www.justice.gov/usao-ne/pr/omaha-company-and-company-president-sentenced-covid-related-crimesDOJ Press Release 2 Quin Global:https://www.justice.gov/usao-ne/pr/omaha-company-and-company-president-plead-guilty-covid-related-crimesUSA v Quin Global https://www.pacermonitor.com/public/case/52296830/USA_v_Quin_GlobalUSA v Petersenhttps://www.pacermonitor.com/public/case/52296828/USA_v_PetersenTo share your story or be a guest on the show, email info.getalife@proton.meGet a Life Paypal donations -https://www.paypal.me/getalifepodcastGet a Life GoFundMe-https://gofund.me/614bcd06PayPal link for USA- https://www.paypal.com/pools/c/8Tz4n35OJ8Admin/Legal email address:stouffvillelegal-gal@protonmail.comOffice address:22 Braid BendStouffville ONL4A 1R7#PBCC #plymouthbrethrenchristianchurch #exclusivebrethren #cult #oneschoolglobal #rapidreliefteam #ubt

This week, we do another Plymouth Brethren serial killer, John George Haigh, the Acid Bath Killer

This week we dive into a serial killer who was part of the Plymouth Brethren.

Is Dispensationalism new as some people claim? Dr. James Fazio will respond to this OLD accusation that is repeated ad nauseam.Dr. Fazio is the Dean of Bible and Theology at Southern California Seminary. He also serves as Professor of Biblical Studies, specializing in hermeneutics and historical literature. He is the author and editor of several books including Forged from Reformation, Brethren and the Church, and Discovering Dispensationalism. He specialized in, and has done extensive research on, John Nelson Darby and the Plymouth Brethren. This makes him the perfect guest for this podcast episode. He has been on the Bible and Theology Matters podcast before to discuss the history of Dispensational thought.In November of 2024, Dr. Fazio and I were at the Evangelical Theological Society, which is a gathering of evangelical professors and scholars from all over the world. Well over 2,000 are in attendance each year. Various scholarly research papers are presented, after which dialogue ensues. Dr. Fazzio presented a paper that addressed the old accusation that Dispensationalism is new, novel, sometimes even called a "theological innovation" that was masterminded by John Nelson Darby. In the podcast Dr. Weaver and Dr. Fazzio discuss Dr. Fazzio's paper that addresses this issue.

A helping hand to former Plymouth Brethren members   In the last of this three-part audio series, host Trisha Taurinskas interviews Carman Drever, a former member of the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church and outspoken critic of the church.   Drever shares her experiences within the church and goes into detail about the PBCC's control over its members, who face separation from their family if they step out of line. Since leaving the PBCC, Drever has devoted her energy to providing information and resources to other former cult members who often have no other place to turn.

WARNING - This episode of Blackballed includes details of sexual torture and abuse. Viewer discretion is strongly advised. Lara Payne is an ex member of the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church, and a survivor of sexual violence that was inflicted and enabled by the PBCC itself. Learn more about your ad choices.

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

Shane Whaley engages in a riveting discussion with historian and author Dr. Claire Hubbard-Hall. Known for her expertise in the history of women in intelligence, Claire brings to light the overlooked yet monumental roles women have played in British Intelligence. Her book titled Her Secret Service - The Forgotten Women of British Intelligence aims to challenge the male-dominated narrative of intelligence history. Recognition and Roles: Changing Perceptions The episode also discusses the broader evolution of women's roles in British intelligence, shedding light on figures like Jane Sismore, MI5's first officer, and Mary Shearer, MI5's first female agent handler. Claire elaborates on how societal changes, particularly during wartime when men were at the front, necessitated the inclusion of women in more substantial roles. However, progress was slow, often hinging on the approval and support of male counterparts.   Winifred Spink, a strikingly attractive woman born into a Plymouth Brethren family, was a rebel and suffragette who defied conventions of her time. Fluent in French and German, she also mastered car mechanics and excelled as a secretary. Shortly before the 1916 revolution, she broke new ground as the first female intelligence officer with the British mission to Petrograd, narrowly escaping execution during her time there. Bold and liberated, she chronicled her numerous romantic liaisons in her diary, referring to them as “another scalp.” Equally remarkable was Olga Gray, who joined MI5 in 1931 and successfully infiltrated the British Communist Party as secretary to its leader, Harry Pollitt, ultimately exposing a Soviet spy ring. Joan Bright, another inspiration for the character of Miss Moneypenny, was lauded as the "organising genius of the War Office secretariat" during the Second World War. She became the gatekeeper to the War Office's secrets and a valuable source for historians throughout her life. Despite her significant contributions, Gray received little support and was eventually abandoned by MI5, showcasing the institutional barriers women faced. Shining a Light on the Forgotten Women of British Intellgence As Dr Claire Hubbard-Hall continues to uncover these hidden stories, her work is instrumental in revising our understanding of espionage history. By highlighting the indispensable roles women have played, she not only corrects historical oversights but also paves the way for future generations to appreciate and recognize the silent heroines of intelligence. For those interested in delving deeper into these narratives, Claire's book "Her Secret Service" is available in the UK and will be released in the US as "Secret Servants of the Crown: Women, British Intelligence" in February. Join us in celebrating the remarkable forgotten women of British Intelligence.

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

J.N. Darby and the Roots of Dispensationalism (Oxford University Press, 2024) describes the work of one of the most important and under-studied theologians in the history of Christianity. In the late 1820s, John Nelson Darby abandoned his career as a priest in the Church of Ireland to become one of the principal leaders of a small but rapidly growing religious movement that became known as the "Plymouth Brethren." Darby and other brethren modified the Calvinism that was common among their evangelical contemporaries, developing distinctive positions on key doctrines relating to salvation, the church, the work of the Holy Spirit, and the end times. After his death in 1882, Darby's successors revised and expanded his arguments, and Darby became known as the architect of the most influential system of end-times thinking among the world's half-a-billion evangelicals. This "dispensational premillennialism" exercises extraordinary influence in religious communities, but also in popular culture and geopolitics. But claims that Darby created this theological system may need to be qualified -for all his innovation, this reputation might be undeserved. This book reconstructs Darby's theological development and argues that his innovations were more complex and extensive than their reduction into dispensationalism might suggest. In fact, Darby's thought might be closer to that of his Reformed critics than to that of modern exponents of dispensationalism. Crawford Gribben is Professor of History at Queen's University Belfast.

In this continuing study I take a look at the Rapture Doctrine. Is this a Pre-Trib, as taught in most mainstream Churches are do Christians go through the Tribulation Period? I compare Thessalonians to Matthew 24 along with Revelation. I venture into Paul's writings to explore what he has to say, along with what Yahweh says in Ezekiel. In this Part 57 I do a Brief summary of the history of the rapture doctrine:First of all, the word ‘rapture' is not even included in the Scriptures and was unknown as a theology or a doctrine by the Church for well over 1,800 years. Where then did it come from and when did it begin?Its origins are in the Counter Reformation move of Papal Rome in the 16th century after Martin Luther nailed his 95 thesis to the church door in Wittenberg on October 31, 1517. It is less well known that the pope at that time authorized three Jesuit Priests to reinterpret Daniel's 70 weeks of prophecy; the Book of Revelation; and Ezekiel. The goal of these Jesuits was to take the heat of the reformation away from the papacy and the protestant association of the Anti-Christ with the pope.   The three Jesuits were:Francisco Ribera (1537-1591) of SalamancaLuis de Alcazar (1554-1621) of Seville Cardinal Roberto Bellarmine (1542-1621)The doctrine – called futurism – which would later become ‘the rapture' originated and was submitted by Francisco Ribera in 1585. His Apocalyptic Commentary was on the grand points of Babylon and the Anti-Christ which are now known as the rapture doctrine. Ribera's published work was called “In Sacram Beati Ionnis Apostoli & Evangelistate Apocoalypsin Commentari” (Lugduni 1593). Unfortunately, over 200 years later a librarian to the Archbishop of Canterbury by the name of S. R. Maitland (1792-1866) was appointed to be the Keeper of the Manuscripts at Lambeth Palace, in London, England. In his duties, Dr. Maitland came across Francisco Ribera's rapture theology and he had it republished for the sake of interest in early 1826 with follow ups in 1829 and 1830.This was spurred along with the Oxford Tracts that were published in 1833 to try and deprotestantize the Church of England.  John Nelson Darby (1800-1882) (A Leader of the Plymouth Brethren) became a follower of S.R. Maitland's prophetic endeavors and was persuaded. Darby's influence in the seminaries of Europe combined with 7 tours of the United States changed the eschatological view of the ministers which had the trickle down effect into the churches.In American History there is a name that everyone should know, John Locke. John was labeled by many historians “America's Philosopher.” Why I am bringing up John Locke? John was a great fan of Robert Bellarmine! Matter of fact John stated these words that will become the rationale of the American Revolution: “Men being by nature all free, equal and independent, no one can be put out of this estate and subjected to the political power of another, without his consent…”In the English speaking world, Edward Irving and John Nelson Darby further elaborated on this system by inventing a secret rapture 7 years before the end. They correctly taught that the Christians are restraining evil—in this case Protestant Christians— who will be removed from the earth before the Antichrist will be revealed. In popular literature it is called the Rapture or catching away!!Those who are LEFT BEHIND will get another chance to be saved ... if they choose death rather that accept the mark of the beast!!Don't overlook that fact that this Pre-Trip rapture doctrine was created by the Jesuits of the Catholic Church to sway the Protestants from believing that the Pope would be the future Anti-Christ! In order to understand these church doctrines you and I need to understand the history in which they were formed!Have any questions? Feel free to email me at keitner@netzero.net

Older brethren look back on the 1950s as the Golden Age. No UBT, no OneSchool, no 6am suppers, no meeting every night, no mandatory “volunteering” for Campus&Co, no separate tables, no shunning of your nearest and dearest, no headscarves, just a dazzling array of fancy hats, and those manly suits and ties for the brothers. Today, Get-a-Life brings you a STUNNING REVELATION. There is a parallel universe in which the 1950s peebs still live their happy and carefree lives. Like Tutankhamun's tomb, or Jurassic Park, the Renton fellowship of Plymouth Brethren have frozen time, and neatly sidestepped the grievous plagues and curses that the evil “Big Jim Taylor” inflicted on the saints. And there is more – we can reveal that it is actually the Rentons, and not the PBCC, that is the TRUE position, holding the standard while the rest of us poor buggers stumbled around in the dark. Too good to be true? – probably, but you can judge for yourself in this surprise-packed interview with ex-Renton brother and Poet Laureate, Paul Flowerdew. Paul Left the Renton's to gain freedom for his family, just like those of us that left the Exclusive Brethren/PBCC. Tune in to hear the similarities and the differences.

* Bob Enyart's Life's Work - The Plot: All stories have a plot. The main story line in a narrative forms the plot. Millions of books, including historical texts, cannot be understood apart from recognizing the plot, getting to know the characters, and learning the setting. The setting refers to the backdrop for the action, when and where, in time and space, the action occurs. Does the Bible have a plot? * Read, Listen, or Share with Kids: You can: - read Bob's best-selling book The Plot or download it as a PDF - listen to the Plot Seminar  via instant download or on MP3 CD - listen to the entire set of all five of Bob's Plot Bible Study Albums, or - share The Plot Boys with Bible students of all ages! - check out Chapter 1 of The Plot online. You'll love this powerful teaching through Scripture as you see that the overview of the Bible really is the only valid key to its details! And of course, by purchasing any of these Bible resources, you'll be supporting our online and broadcast outreach for another year! * Learning from the Plot: Most Bible students readily agree with this basic plot of the Bible.  Yet within the structure of this plot lies the key to understanding almost all of the major disputes that divide Christians. * Stories Often Deliver Morals: "The moral of the story is," ends many anecdotes.  A typical morality tale attempts to teach a good lesson, but the story itself is fictitious.  The Bible presents its message through the vehicle of a true story (although it does of course contain parables).  To understand the moral of a story, one must understand the story itself.  Misunderstanding the story by missing the plot or a vital plot twist makes it difficult to ascertain the moral of the story.  How can someone see all the details in a murky big picture? God informs men that His Word has a plot, and that plot twists possibly may occur.  Thus Bible students must remain alert when reading the Bible for the major steps of the plot and the plot twists.Ignoring the Plot: Ten big doctrinal debates divide millions of believers.  Attempting to resolve all ten questions by traditional means is a daunting task.  Is there one root cause for all ten disagreements?  Does a common theological thread tie these ten seemingly unrelated doctrines together? If all ten disputes derive from one fundamental cause, might there then be a single solution to these questions?  Imagine resolving all ten disputes with one simple biblical fact found in one single verse based on the overall plot of the Bible.  If such a fact exists which alone could solve all ten disputes, imagine how crucial that Bible idea would be.  However, ignoring the Bible's big picture consigns these disputes to irreconcilable differences. A young political observer once wondered why American conservatives and liberals separated themselves so distinctly along opposing ideas.  Consider these generalities: Left-Wingers Right-Wingers Support welfare Oppose welfare Support foreign aid Oppose foreign aid Support high taxes Oppose high taxes Support giving children condoms Oppose giving children condoms Support pornographers Oppose pornographers Support killing unborn children Oppose killing unborn children Oppose killing murderers Support killing murderers Oppose gun ownership Support gun ownership Weaken America's military Strengthen America's military Worship trees Cut down trees (a renewable resource) Chart the views of liberals like Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and Al Gore.  They, along with most liberal leaders, agree with the column on the left.  Conservative leaders like Alan Keyes tend to concur with the issues on the right.  The respective supporters of these two camps tend to hold their party line.  For example, of these ten issues, millions of liberals will hold to most issues of the left and millions of conservatives will stand for most issues on the right.  But why?  Why do people line up along such well-defined battle lines?  Why is there not an equal number who agree with five issues on the right and five on the left?  Why do most leaders who support killing an innocent unborn child oppose killing a guilty murdering rapist?  Why does almost everyone who supports welfare also defend a right to exploit women sexually through pornography? If these disagreements arose randomly in a disconnected fashion, then no pattern of adherents would likely exist.  A line of demarcation appears, however, because these issues do not arbitrarily arise, but result from society acting out underlying principles.  Once a man commits to certain fundamental precepts, then experienced observers can guess many of his future political preferences.  Some defend the existence of absolute truth.  Others reject the notion of absolute right and wrong and put their hope in relative morality.  The Ten Commandments become ten suggestions, if that.  The world calls these relativists left-wingers.  The defenders of absolutes believe that truth descends from God.  The world calls us right-wingers. This political observation makes a good analogy.  Patterns of disagreement can reveal much about underlying presuppositions.  Different foundational ideas then lead to various, though related, disputes.  Likewise, exploring ten major doctrinal disputes can reveal an incredible biblical pattern.  The Plot traces the origins of these debates to the first century Christian leaders.  Then the Apostle Paul's handling of early doctrinal disagreements provides the guidance to resolve today's debates.  The Epistles become the compass, the whole Word of God the map, to traverse the terrain of human existence. God does not have doctrinal difficulties.  Why?  As the author, He knows the meaning of Bible passages.  God does not have "problem texts."  Therefore, when God opens eyes to solve doctrinal disputes, "problem texts" disappear for men also.  Thus the doctrinal answer offered in this book turns problem texts into "proof texts!"  Readers will see that the opposing sets of Bible verses often used in traditional doctrinal debate will all support true theology. Get the Big Picture At the outset of taking an awesome biblical journey in The Plot, realize the goal is to grasp the Bible's big picture. The successful student masters the wider context of debated issues. The meaning of a word depends partly on its context within the sentence; the meaning of the sentence depends partly on its context with the paragraph; the meaning of the paragraph on the chapter; the chapter on the book; and the proper understanding of even the book depends on its position within the context of the Bible. Those who understand the big picture avoid getting lost in the details. Now the fun begins.  Brace yourself for excitement, but proceed with maximum alertness! The Challenge for The Plot The primary biblical details this book attempts to clear up include the following ten doctrinal debates: Some Believe Others Believe Believers can lose their salvation Believers cannot lose their salvation Baptism is necessary Baptism is not necessary Believers speak in tongues Believers do not speak in tongues God will answer prayers of faith Many good prayers go unanswered Miracles and healing are assured Miracles and healing are not assured There is no pre-tribulation rapture The rapture is before the tribulation Believers must keep the law Believers are not under the law Salvation by faith requires works Salvation requires faith and not works Believers must keep the Sabbath Sabbath observance is unnecessary Unclean foods are prohibited All foods are clean More than anything, this author wants to thoroughly communicate the overall plot of the Bible to each reader.  As a secondary effect of having a solid understanding of the big picture of any book, the reader then has a much easier task grasping the details of that book.  Knowing the plot helps identify the twists.  Knowing the twists helps explain a myriad of details. A Daunting Task To resolve these ten disputes, someone could prepare ten arguments, one for each issue.  All pros and cons must be evaluated for each issue.  The student analyzes only a few dozen Scriptures for certain disputes; for others, he analyzes hundreds.  A number of scholarly books defend each opposing doctrine.  Limiting the effort to only two authors advocating each position requires reading forty books that mostly contradict one another.  Many students consume years in this effort.  In the end, the student sides with one position or the other, for each dispute, weighing countless factors. Regardless of the student's conclusions, millions of believers will disagree with him.  The masses of Christians cannot be right on these doctrines, because the masses disagree with one another.  Even after such a colossal effort, how many of these ten doctrinal questions would the average reader get right? A Single, Simple Solution Imagine, for the moment, that someone could resolve all ten questions simply by learning one single Bible verse.  Is it possible that one single concept, one idea, one thought, revealed in a single Bible verse, could resolve every debate listed above?  This book presents just such a verse for the reader's consideration. Some will think it impossible for one Bible fact to answer all these dilemmas.  If, however, someone asked God to unravel these mysteries, could He do so in a single statement?  If He could, then perhaps His Word does also.  If God could not, then the author should stop writing this book.  The Plot of the Bible argues, though, that God could, and that He has, proclaimed the answer to these ten debates in a single verse. Consider any discipline-criminal law, physics, Shakespeare.  Imagine that within that field of study ten apparently unrelated debates rage.  Imagine that one discovery or one observation or one perspective, when applied to these disagreements, had the ability to resolve, neatly and completely, each and every dilemma.  The fact that one simple idea can address ten different quandaries inherently gives that idea credibility and makes it worthy of full examination. For example, a good law well enforced will bring about unimagined benefits in countless circumstances.  Whereas a bad law, though designed to address a specific problem, actually creates more problems than it supposedly solves.  Historically, a law against adultery reduced infidelity and divorce as expected.  But it also lowered rates for murder, rape, kidnapping, and child abuse; this law can even improve the economy thereby raising the standard of living. When one simple biblical idea resolves many seemingly unrelated troubles, that idea merits great attention.  Similarly, if someone invents a Bible "answer," that idea will likely create more problems than it supposedly solves.  Thus the Christians who argue that men have a "right to fornicate" help to unleash a tidal wave of destruction.  If, however, one concept helps effortlessly to avoid numerous problems, the concept may very well be valid. No Problem Texts! A typical doctrinal argument emphasizes certain biblical passages (its proof texts) while de-emphasizing other passages (its problem texts).  This very approach makes many students uncomfortable because they want to embrace the whole word of God.  Ignoring or diminishing certain texts that appear to contradict a conclusion unsettles them and rightly so. Any number of arguments can be presented for or against the ten doctrinal disputes listed above.  These arguments traditionally pit one set of Bible verses against another.  Someone trying to prove that a believer cannot lose his salvation will cite certain proof texts (i.e., Eph. 4:30; Phil. 1:6) and dispute other problem texts (i.e., Heb. 6:4-6; 2 Pet. 2:20-22).  Those who argue that a believer can lose his salvation swap the passages, so that they heartily endorse their proof texts (i.e., Heb. 6:4-6; 2 Pet. 2:20-22), while contending with their problem texts (i.e., Eph. 4:30; Phil. 1:6). What if God has presented one biblical key that would not only answer all the confusion, but would also erase the tension between the traditional proof and problem texts?  The student would then see both sets of proof and problem texts merge into a single grouping of proof texts. Christians expect exactly this in heaven.  Once in heaven "I shall know just as I also am known" (1 Cor. 13:12) by God, without confusion.  Heaven admits no "problem verses."  God's Word will exist in heaven (Mat. 24:35) open, honest, simple to understand and true at face value. The solution to these ten doctrinal debates does not require diminishing or obfuscating, explaining away or twisting scores of problem verses.  The solution lies in understanding the big picture of the Bible.  Those well versed on the biblical plot and the plot twists can read Bible passages and accept them for just what they appear to say without harboring a sense of internal conflict.  The Bible is the Word of God.  The Bible makes sense and does not contradict itself.

You'll love this powerful teaching through Scripture as you see that the overview of the Bible really is the only valid key to its details! * Historical Notes on the Pre-Tribulation Rapture: Chapter 11 of The Plot includes a response to the widespread claim that pre-tribulation rapture teaching began with the Plymouth Brethren and John Darby (d. 1882). That chapter references this webpage, as kgov.com/pre-trib, for more information. In the past, many Christians who wrote of the tribulation saw it as a three and a half year period. (The Plot observes that Jesus mentioned that the Tribulation may be "shortened" and that Peter called for the "hastening" of the coming of the Lord. Thus it is correct that the coming tribulation may be less than a full seven years. The text also shows that the Twelve Apostles saw, correctly, that Joel's end-times prophecy began its fulfillment at Christ's ascension. Therefore they, also correctly, expected His soon return. However, one year after the resurrection Luke 13:6-9, God temporarily cut off Israel Romans 11:11-15, 19-20, 23-26, when He grafted in the Body of Christ. So while the Great Tribulation will likely be longer than the three and a half years held by many generations of Christians, as Jesus said, those days can be "shortened", so we can expect the Tribulation to be less than a full seven years.) On what we today call the pre-tribulation rapture, Morgan Edwards, a graduate of Bristol Baptist College, prominent religion historian, Baptist pastor, and a founder of Brown University, wrote in 1788: The distance between the first and second resurrection will be somewhat more than a thousand years. I say, somewhat more—, because the dead saints will be raised, and the living changed at Christ's "appearing in the air" (I Thes. iv. 17); and this will be about three years and a half before the millennium, as we shall see hereafter: but will he and they abide in the air all that time? No: they will ascend to paradise, or to some one of those many "mansions in the father's house" (John xiv. 2), and disappear during the foresaid period of time. The design of this retreat and disappearing will be to judge the risen and changed saints; for "now the time is come that judgment must begin," and that will be "at the house of God" (I Pet. iv. 17)."   For other instances of the teaching of the pre-tribulation rapture in history, for example, including from 1300 A.D. and 400 A.D., please see chapter 11 of my book The Plot. Here's an excerpt... Belief in a specifically pre-tribulation rapture can be traced back in various ways, including to more almost 400 years before Bunyan in Italy, and more than a thousand years before him in what today is Turkey on the Syrian border. In northern Italy a treatise on the Apostolic Brethren says that their followers, "would be transferred into Paradise, in which are Enoch and Elijah… preserved unharmed from the persecution of the Antichrist… then Enoch and Elijah themselves would descend on the earth… would be killed… and thus Antichrist would reign for a long time", after which Christ returns to the earth with His saints. Further, a Latin manuscript of the sixth century exists which some scholars believe can be traced back to a prominent Syrian church father, the prolific Ephraem of Nisibis (306‑373 AD). A passage from a sermon on prophecy and the antichrist translates into English as: "For all the saints and Elect of God are gathered, prior to the tribulation that is to come, and are taken to the Lord lest they see the confusion that is to overwhelm the world because of our sins." For more, see online A History of Pre-Darby Rapture Advocates by Dr. Thomas Ice. * More On Baptism: Sadly, a ritual that takes perhaps five minutes out of an 80-year life has divided Christ's followers on many lines and into often strongly opposed camps splitting churches and helping to divide tens of millions of believers into opposing Baptist, Adventist, Episcopalian, Lutheran, Methodist, Orthodox, and Presbyterian denominations. Believers disagree over: - the mode / method – sprinkling, pouring, immersion, partial immersion  - the candidate / qualification – none or conversion (believers) - the age – infant, child, or adult - the agent – a lay person, minister, or the Holy Spirit - the formulation – in Christ's name alone or that of the Trinity - the nature – symbolic, moral, or spiritual - the reason – the remission of sin, obedience, a symbol, or church membership - the effect – obedience, identification, or salvation Yet with foresight the Holy Spirit inspired the greatest evangelist in history to write "I thank God that I baptized none of you" except for a very few, as the Apostle Paul explained that, "Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel" (1 Cor. 1:14-17). From that godly perspective, the church has descended into extreme disagreements, teachings, and practices...    Check also: Grant Jeffrey, When the Trumpet Sounds, p. 108, references this Ephraem quote, from Ephraem or Psuedo Ephraem's "On the Last Times, the Anti-Christ and the End of the World." Circa A.D. 373  

The Plymouth Brethren Christian Church plan to build a 17,000sq ft church, plus a school and superstore in Barrington IL, a suburb of Chicago. here a former member of the PBCC explains exactly what a PBCC "church" will look like, and exposes the PBCC representative Dale Diener's lie that the capacity of the hall will be only 1000 persons. We also get a tour inside a PBCC meeting hall and the reason for the mysterious sliding doors and outsize A/C units is explained. We go on to look at Bruce D Hales' ministry, and explain what "4 square feet per person" means in the context of a 17,000sq feet hall. We look at the "circus tent" outside a Manitoba PBCC hall, and explain that with each giant "city hall": the PBCC build, there will be several smaller "local" halls required. We look at how the PBCC regard their neighbors, and using quotes from their own printed literature, expose the two-faced way in which they seem to offer a friendly hand while despising and hating non-members as "worldlies". PBCC Campus&Co superstores like the one proposed usually contain a well stocked liquor store. Are the brethren really planning to put a liquor store and a school in the same building? We look at how the Brethren rationalize and excuse using lies and deception to obtain what the church needs from the "hostile" world, which it regards as satanic. Any community faced with the prospect of the Plymouth Brethren seeking planning permission for a "Gospel Hall" needs to study this video carefully. *Note 1.

Correction: The A/C units in the 17,000 sq ft room shown are not the size of a semi-trailer - they are about 8' x 27' - more the size of a school bus.#plymouthbrethrenchristianchurch #pbcc #abuse #church #cult #religion #trauma #religioustrauma #sexualabuse #mindcontrol #brainwashing #conversation #exmembers #exposingtruth #whistleblower #getalifepodcast #getalife #podcast #exclusivebrethren #brucehales #johnhales #shutup #withdrawnfrom #worldly #excommunicate #assemblydeath #christiansect #christiancult #canadiancult #canadiansect #BruceHales #BDH #BruceDHales #UniversalBusinessTeam #UBT #RRT #RapidReliefTeam #Aberdeen #OneSchoolGlobal #bully #bullying #meetingroom #meetinghall

For those who leave the ultra-conservative Christian sect, separation comes at great personal cost. The New Statesman's assistant editor Pippa Bailey had always been curious about the Plymouth Brethren, ever since discovering that her maternal grandparents had left the group in the 1960s. What might her life have been like if they stayed? Who were the cousins separated by a doctrine of isolation from non-Brethren ‘worldlies'? In this week's deeply reported and moving magazine cover story, Pippa tells the story of the breakaway group, from its origins in 1820s Ireland to its modern-day incarnation as a global church and effective lobbyist. She speaks to former members, many of whom mourn the loss of family and friends to an organisation they consider repressive. It's a fascinating journey, even if, as Pippa writes, her grandmother has no interest in resurfacing the past: “After all, she says, it's all part of the Lord's plan, and He does not test us more than we can bear.” This article originally appeared in the 25-31 August issue of the New Statesman; you can read the text version here.
