A podcast jam-packed with powerful content and breaking news as Steve Simmons unpacks yet another Exclusive Brethren scandal concealed behind layers of deception and outright lies. Learn how the UK government was defrauded of £ millions by a written committal that was then secretly verbally withdrawn. Hear about the PBCC trustees who don't even meet their own definition of being a member of the Brethren, and take a look at the immoral business affairs of Richard Garrett and David Ovenden. Finally, some essential advice that every current member of the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church needs to urgently consider in order to safeguard their assets ahead of the inevitable crisis that is about to overtake the cult. Every word counts in this damning exposé, and we challenge the PBCC to go right ahead and sue us for libel if every word of it is not the truth.Link for insiders-https://docsend.dropbox.com/view/nbbbqntiprz5ey7gFaith in Practice document- https://docsend.dropbox.com/view/wcarj4vrbqqc5rjpArticle link-https://archive.ph/9nSWLTo 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/G6sjHA2xHwbAberdeen 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

Have the Toronto Blue Jays gotten anything right this year? As we near the end of a disappointing season, on a night that should have been a bright spot in an otherwise dark year, the Jays have once again dropped the ball. Joey Votto, one of the best baseball players this country has ever produced, has decided to call it a career. With the Cincinnati Reds in town (the team Votto played with for 17 years), and a lifelong dream to wear a Blue Jays jersey, it seemed like the perfect storm for a proper Canadian sendoff. That's why many, including Steve Simmons, were confused as to why the MLB slugger made his announcement from a parking lot in Buffalo. Steve joins us today to discuss the blatant disrespect shown by the organization and why he isn't surprised in the slightest before making room for Brad May to talk about his time competing with his daughter on The Amazing Race Canada.
At some time in our lives, every one of us believes that we are facing something that is far too big to overcome. All too often we use these things as crutches to avoid facing the difficult things in life. We may say we'll do whatever it takes to get past our struggles, but will we really do it? On today's show, we'll meet a man who learned to cuss as a little boy working in the peanut fields of Georgia. He faced obstacles and one day, after losing his mother, he decided from that day forward, he would not want to do anything that would have disappointed her. God took this boy to great and beautiful places around north America… but more importantly, He took him on a life of spiritual adventure and victory!

After the break, we get into the process of selecting inductees to the Hockey Hall Of Fame & end the show with a passionate conversation about the direction the CFL is heading in.
It's been six days since the Toronto Maple Leafs lost yet again in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, and just one day since Maple Leafs Management decided to let go of Head Coach Sheldon Keefe. Steve Simmons was at their Press Conference today where he saw Brendan Shanahan, Brad Treliving, and Keith Pelley all address the media and assure Leafs fans everywhere that they have everything under control. But do they really? Steve, Bob, and John break down some comments made at the press conference, debate on who of their “big four” is out the door, and more as the three end the week with a question: What do the Toronto Maple Leafs do now?

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

Steve Simmons joins the show today to discuss baseball and a little bit of hockey with Bob and John. Is it time to panic when a pitcher with fewer than 10 career starts throws a no-hitter against the Toronto Blue Jays? Steve says no.

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

In this short episode we explain exactly how Bruce Hales and his family embezzle tens of millions of dollars of both the brethren and the government by a clever combination of fraud, tax evasion and laundering. We present some very interesting emails from Steve Simmons's archives and we come to a surprising conclusion!

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

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

A sermon by Steve Simmons on Luke 2:41-47 in the season of Epiphany.
The Underwhelming Off-Season From The Toronto Blue Jays, The NHL All-Star Game & The Maple Leafs With Steve Simmons. It's Toronto sports talk with Steve Simmons on today's episode. With Josh Turner signing a one-year, $13 million contract with the Jays, we talk to Steve about the impact he will have on the team heading into the season before taking a wider look at the rather underwhelming and unfulfilling postseason for a baseball team that many believe needed to make significant upgrades to their roster. We also make sure to have a brief discussion on this year's NHL All-Star Game in Toronto before focusing on the Maple Leafs as we set our expectations for the team's push for the Stanley Cup.

It doesn't matter what you throw at him; Steve Simmons can hit the curveball, and he puts that skill on display today as he joins John and Daren for some general sports talk on today's show. We start things off by discussing Shohei Ohtani's monster deal and the intricacies of the contract before figuring out just how close the Toronto Blue Jays were to getting the Japanese phenom north of the border. We also get into the voting process, of which Steve was a part, for the Northern Star Award for Canada's Athlete of the Year before shifting our focus to media distribution in Canada. We take a look at one of Steve's recent articles regarding Rogers Media and their NHL rights going forward.
