Five hundred years ago, Martin Luther took on the most powerful church on earth over prepaid sins and a Pope living like a king. He went back to three simple truths: you’re saved by faith alone, the Bible is the only authority, and every Christian has direct access to Jesus. Mainstream Christianity still stands on those three pillars today. Russell asks one simple question of a church that calls itself mainstream: where are those three pillars in the PBCC?#PBCC #PlymouthBrethren #ExclusiveBrethren #RustysRants #MartinLuther #GetALifePodcast #ExCultConversations #plymouthbrethrenchristianchurch #brucehales #rapidreliefteam #oneschoolglobal #cultawareness
Russell is an ex-member, and he’s speaking straight to the genuine believers still inside the PBCC. He takes apart two Bruce Hales teachings that keep people from leaving. The first is that walking out puts your eternal salvation at risk. The second is that Jesus only goes to the PBCC. He answers both with the simplest scriptures there are, John 3:16 and Matthew 18:20, and he doesn’t hold back. #PBCC #PlymouthBrethren #ExclusiveBrethren #RustysRants #GetALifePodcast #ExCultConversations #PlymouthBrethrenChristianChurch #BruceHales #rapidreliefteam #OneSchoolGlobal #cultawareness
There are about 1,500 Brethren meeting halls around the world. The local brethren paid for them, built them and maintained them, often over generations. So who actually controls them now? Steve Simmons walks through what has quietly changed. In New Zealand, every locality's hall has been placed in a new trust, and every one of those trusts has the same corporate trustee, PBCC Properties New Zealand Limited. Similar structures appear to be going in across Australia and elsewhere.Steve goes back to Aberdeen in 1970, when large numbers of brethren could no longer support James Taylor Junior and some still managed to keep their halls. He explains why he believes the new structures are designed so that can never happen again. If a local assembly can no longer accept Bruce Hales as the elect vessel, but still believes in God, reads the Bible, preaches the gospel and breaks bread every week, should it lose the halls its own families paid for?Steve also speaks from his own experience of being cut off from the fellowship he was born into. He asks a question that members, donors, regulators and taxpayers should all be asking: are these charities really for the advancement of Christianity, or only for those who submit to one man?Link for insiders- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/s7k1w12je2oo041ifmuk5/45000-183.mp4?rlkey=7n48c2vju2k1ma2if66ztnbek&st=txoxgtrv&dl=0Links to various PBCC Property trusts and companies: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GTioJVqXHaGRm2m3eKkSCbDxDBYmzIci/view?usp=sharingTo share your story or be a guest on the show, email info.getalife@proton.meLink to Sign Petition for Maple creek-https://www.change.org/maplecreek-rapidreliefteamLink to Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters video- https://www.youtube.com/live/xORVJaxBYz0?si=Mhg1YSyhoxj_-_trLink to Transcript of that meeting- https://parlinfo.aph.gov.au/parlInfo/download/committees/commjnt/29770/toc_pdf/Electoral%20Matters%20Joint%20Committee_2026_08_21.pdf;fileType=application%2FpdfGet 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
Master manipulator Bruce Hales rules his 55,000+ sheep by coercive control, not by Christianity. Kristin Wolf explains the mechanism of coercive control and shows how it works inside the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church (PBCC), formerly known as the Exclusive Brethren.On October 16, Bruce Hales sat in front of the Australian Parliament and told them his members are free to make their own decisions. We put that claim up against his own ministry, his own words at the hearing, and the forms and agreements PBCC members have to sign. Kristin is a researcher and coercive control consultant who spent 35 years inside a controlling family system before she got out. She takes us through the BITE model and shows how behaviour, information, thought and emotional control run through Bruce Hales's ministry, and why "free to leave" means nothing when leaving costs you your family, your home and your work.We also show you the travel request forms, the relocation application forms and the participation agreement (NDA) members sign before they can sit in a meeting. No mainstream Christian church needs any of it.Canada made coercive control a crime this year, but the law only covers intimate partners. Kristin's petition to the House of Commons, e-7741, asks Canada to recognize coercive control by people in positions of trust and authority too.

What happens when religious authority and secrecy create an environment where abuse can remain hidden for generations?In this episode, we welcome Mike King from Profiling Evil, a retired police commander and criminal investigator with over 40 years of experience.Drawing from his investigations into the FLDS and Zion Society, Mike explains why law enforcement often struggles to investigate crimes within closed religious communities, how predators exploit positions of trust and authority, and why understanding the psychology of indoctrination is crucial when working with survivors.He also shares why removing a leader doesn't necessarily dismantle a system of control, why attempts to educate closed communities can fail, and how transparency and accountability can begin to break the cycle of abuse.Mike is now bringing his decades of investigative experience to the stage with **The Psychology of Cults**, a live show touring across Canada in October and November 2026, followed by Australia in December. Exploring some of the world's most notorious cults, Mike takes audiences inside the psychology of indoctrination, manipulation, and coercive control, helping us understand why people become trapped and why leaving can be so difficult.Link for insiders- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/6zglx2za3nmw8r0j1mfun/45000-181.mp4?rlkey=qjrp7r6axoiqddibolqkp0b0o&st=z1hvwu0e&dl=0Map to locate tour venues and get tickets: https://www.arcgis.com/apps/dashboards/8c9a3eba226f483fbd9190a2fd177086#Tour Site: www.PsychologyOfCults.comProfiling Evil YouTube: www.youtube.com/profilingevilProfiling Evil Website: www.ProfilingEvil.comFacebook- https://www.facebook.com/profilingevilInstagram- https://www.instagram.com/profilingevil/X- https://www.instagram.com/profilingevil/TikTok- https://www.tiktok.com/ @ProfilingEvil Link to Mike's books- https://profilingevil.com/store/To share your story or be a guest on the show, email info.getalife@proton.meLink to Sign Petition for Maple creek-https://www.change.org/maplecreek-rapidreliefteamLink to Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters video- https://www.youtube.com/live/xORVJaxBYz0?si=Mhg1YSyhoxj_-_trLink to Transcript of that meeting- https://parlinfo.aph.gov.au/parlInfo/download/committees/commjnt/29770/toc_pdf/Electoral%20Matters%20Joint%20Committee_2026_08_21.pdf;fileType=application%2FpdfGet 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
Joy Nason was born into the Exclusive Brethren, the group that now calls itself the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church (PBCC), and it shaped every part of her early life, from her friendships and family to the way she saw the world. In her twenties she walked out, and she paid the price every ex-member knows. Her family and friends were cut off from her, and the only community she had ever known closed its doors behind her.She built a life anyway. Joy made a successful career and a future on her own terms, and for years she kept her head down and got on with it. What pulled her back in was the hypocrisy. She was raised being told that government is ordained by God and that Brethren don't vote, so when she learned the Brethren had been giving money to political parties, she couldn't let it go.That's what led her to write Joy and Sorrow (2015), her memoir about growing up inside the group, getting out, and living with the loss of her family. Since then she has kept speaking out about the harm the PBCC's practices do to people and families, and she's become a voice for a lot of ex-members who haven't been able to tell their own stories. She is actively involved in politics and does whatever she can to try and show what this sect is really about. In this episode, Joy talks with us about what life inside was really like, what it cost her to leave, and why she decided the world needed to hear it.Link for insiders- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/n1y1yfd8w4fl5pcohcf4f/45000180.mp4?rlkey=41vwgsf2dz3003p7h3tocxgdg&st=rc42fizr&dl=0To share your story or be a guest on the show, email info.getalife@proton.meLink to Sign Petition for Maple creek-https://www.change.org/maplecreek-rapidreliefteamLink to Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters video- https://www.youtube.com/live/xORVJaxBYz0?si=Mhg1YSyhoxj_-_trLink to Transcript of that meeting- https://parlinfo.aph.gov.au/parlInfo/download/committees/commjnt/29770/toc_pdf/Electoral%20Matters%20Joint%20Committee_2026_08_21.pdf;fileType=application%2FpdfGet 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
Australia is fed up with the secrecy and deceit of the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church, formerly known as the Exclusive Brethren.For those of us who were once inside, we lived this. We know how they can twist the narrative, bring in the big guns when they’re under scrutiny, and use deep financial pockets to make problems go away or keep people silent.But now, the world is getting a glimpse of what so many of us have been trying to expose for years. This time, the questions are being asked in Parliament, and we can only hope that accountability has finally arrived.Watch Get A Life Podcast Episodes 177, 178 and 179 for the full story and everything that has unfolded.Links to podcasts177- https://youtu.be/dx4fZLcLGcw178- https://youtu.be/wA7FswDHYRA179- https://youtu.be/jI_eisiddfkLinks to aricles-https://archive.is/zLWFyhttps://archive.is/rLIzThttps://archive.is/Z6vbTTo 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
Just a few short weeks after Lloyd Grimshaw's sworn testimony to the Government of Australia, and his teetering tower of tall tales has tumbled, swept away by a tidal wave of witnesses and a royal flush of receipts. Lloyd dismissed Michael Bachelard's reports of the PBCC hiring neo-N@zi thugs to stalk and harass Prime Minister Albanese, saying "...it doesn't even meet the threshold of gossip..." and now it has all been publicly and irrefutably proven to be fact. Not only that, but prominent PBCC elder Lester Sharples has gone on public record to admit to his part in the shambles, and Gareth Hales has been exposed as the ringleader of the whole attempted coup. As Bachelard says in today's article, it's not just the public and former members who are outraged - current members, deeply indoctrinated as they are to blindly follow the Hales hegemony, have had enough. At get-a-Life Podcast, the phones and emails have been flooding in, and we bring you now an anthology of letters from current insiders who witnessed the whole 2025 election campaign from INSIDE THE CULT, and have written to us, asking us to make public their deep anger and disappointment with the catastrophic moral failure of their leaders. Furthermore, we read out today's explosive article by Michael Bachelard, and add in some further thoughts from ex- members of the PBCC. Can the Hales regime survive this latest and greatest in a whole series of shocking and grubby scandals? Will there be a ritual slaughter of scapegoats to wash the blood from the Hales' hands? Or will this be the Aberdeen moment when someone has the courage to stand up amidst the filth and stink and cry "Corruption!"Link for Insiders-https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/i2e5p0ha5qr235x8h2rtc/45000-179.mp4?rlkey=nmnhfidvn06rg7yq1cjq93v4v&st=rleduwz7&dl=0Link to SMH article- https://archive.is/zLWFyLink to Sign Petition for Maple creek-https://www.change.org/maplecreek-rapidreliefteamLink to Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters video- https://www.youtube.com/live/xORVJaxBYz0?si=Mhg1YSyhoxj_-_trLink to Transcript of that meeting- https://parlinfo.aph.gov.au/parlInfo/download/committees/commjnt/29770/toc_pdf/Electoral%20Matters%20Joint%20Committee_2026_08_21.pdf;fileType=application%2FpdfTo 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
In this episode we introduce the Invisible Man of God in the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church: Houdini Hales. His face and voice are broadcast worldwide on the Global Media Stream, familiar to anyone inside the church and to a growing number outside it. He is solid enough to need motorcades and armed bodyguards when he travels, and particular enough to require his dietary needs met to the letter, most of them liquid. He is adored by 55,000 faithful followers, the Taylor Swift of the fundamentalist Christian world. And yet the moment accountability is demanded, he vanishes.Not just Bruce. Every Hales, and with them the entire Plymouth Brethren Christian Church, the family's own magnum opus, wafts away on the breeze and leaves behind a hollow corporate entity that knows nothing, decides nothing and answers for nothing. So who carries the blame for the PBCC's conduct toward Australian democracy? Who are the designated scapegoats?Join Cassie Davis, Peter Hart and Braden Simmons for a penetrating postmortem of the Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters' interrogation of PBCC spin doctor Lloyd Grimshaw.Link for Insiders- https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yd7pSsJyTWZgT0d9GZ4kDN7bspWJhTYE/view?usp=sharingLink to Sign Petition for Maple creek-https://www.change.org/maplecreek-rapidreliefteamLink to Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters video- https://www.youtube.com/live/xORVJaxBYz0?si=Mhg1YSyhoxj_-_trLink to Transcript of that meeting- https://parlinfo.aph.gov.au/parlInfo/download/committees/commjnt/29770/toc_pdf/Electoral%20Matters%20Joint%20Committee_2026_08_21.pdf;fileType=application%2FpdfTo 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
Lying, crying and denying, Lloyd Grimshaw is dragged before the Federal Government of Australia under threat of subpoena. What a spectacle! What a sensation! Watch as the oily PBCC spin doctor veers from perjury to comedy, in a desperate attempt to avoid admitting the plain, obvious and inevitable facts of the PBCC’s 2025 Election Interference campaign. Finally cornered, the grim-faced Grimshaw has to admit that his public statements denying Plymouth Brethren Christian Church involvement were not referring to the church at all, but only to a tiny “secretariat entity” of the same name – an entity that has no members at all.As this unfolded, the phones at the Get-A Life HQ were running hot with calls from incredulous insiders, ex-members and journalists whose reactions spanned the spectrum from fury to hysteria. Here we bring you the first of a series of podcasts where we unleash some of those emotions and commentary from a whole series of guests, starting with Jill Aebi-Mytton, Gilli and Damian Hastie in the UK and the Get A Life team, Lane, Richard and Cheryl and last but not least, a very famous rodent with large black ears.

In 1983, Geoff left the Exclusive Brethren, a movement deeply shaped by J.N. Darby’s doctrine of separation and later reinforced under James Taylor Jr. into a system that profoundly impacted family and community life.For decades, this doctrine has divided parents from children, siblings from siblings, and members from the wider world. Its legacy remains evident today in the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church, where separation, restricted relationships, and the fear of losing loved ones continue to shape daily life.In this episode, Geoff shares how these beliefs influenced his life, the cost of leaving, and the lasting effects of anxiety, trauma, identity loss, and grief experienced by many who leave and those who remain.To better understand the origins and development of the doctrine of separation that shaped Geoff’s experience, listeners are invited to join the UK team where Geoff explores its history, impact, and continuing influence in greater depth.Link for insiders- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/qcxv0c84eui31rha8gu1d/45000-176.mp4?rlkey=k1y6j4ggguvz4jsizkgp2c15w&st=veswsiow&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
For years, people have asked the same question: Where were the teachers the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church hired? Issue No. 11 of Lady Whistleblown's Brethren Dispatch explores why so many remained silent. Through documents, correspondence, and the voices of teachers themselves, this issue uncovers the deception, fear, and emotional burden that kept many from speaking out and why the truth is only now beginning to emerge.Many OneSchool Global teachers witnessed far more than anyone realized, yet believed their contracts bound them to silence. As more teachers see what is being exposed, they are finding the courage to come forward, report their concerns to the authorities, and demand meaningful change.#PBCC #PlymouthBrethrenChristianChurch #ExclusiveBrethren #RapidReliefTeam #BruceHales #oneschoolglobal
The long awaited podcast is finally here!After we aired Ep.110, Trent's horrific priestly visit with Mick Strange, Rod Diplock, Randy Thomas and Greg Baldwin, so many wanted to know what happened after.

The Plymouth Brethren Christian Church invited the Geelong Advertiser into its new Geelong meeting hall to show the public that, "At the end of the day, we're just ordinary people."So... how did that work out?Get-A-Life takes a critical look at the resulting article and asks why Bruce Hales, having condemned "reputation-seeking" as a bane, keeps running back to Rupert Murdoch for more punishment.The article poses the Geelong B-team of Peter Connell, Lester Earl and Damian Earl in their strange, windowless bunker of a "gospel hall," where they take turns feeding the bemused journalist a frothy brew of lies, evasion and, startlingly, one rather damning nugget of actual factual truth.We provide a sober and measured commentary, illustrated by profound excerpts from the ministry of Bruce D. Hales, and a thrilling video clip of Gareth pretending to be best mates with a bunch of assorted tradesmen.Peter Connell also reveals, for the first time, how Bruce financed his $70 million Sydney property portfolio.So what are the Brethren, at the end of the day? Just ordinary people—or a grotesque and surreal cult of brainwashed Hales sycophants desperately trying to pass themselves off as a mainstream Christian church?Watch the podcast and judge for yourself!Link for insiders- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/jf6qcuc62v7bk9jzno8rz/4500-173.mp4?rlkey=mp0cmbbmoq01jei0eqbuumran&st=ohq3k3n5&dl=0Link 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
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.

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
The Plymouth Brethren Christian Church pet controversy has now exploded across the world, with headlines in Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Canada and beyond.After reports emerged that a child connected to the Hales family was bitten by a dog, new ministry regarding pets was reportedly read out across the PBCC internationally. Families have been left devastated, terrified and confused as dogs, cats, birds and other pets suddenly became the focus of urgent ministry.But this is not new.Former members still remember the horror of the original anti-pet ministry from the 1960s, when beloved family animals were removed in heartbreaking and often deeply inhumane ways in the name of obedience.And yet, in recent years after COVID, pets had quietly started appearing again in some Brethren homes. Some former members even claim local priests were allowing pets if it helped persuade families to stay inside the church as more people quietly began leaving.So what changed?This episode of Lady Whistleblown’s Brethren Dispatch looks at the contradictions, the hypocrisy, the loyalty tests, and the deeper emotional control behind the latest ministry.Why is there emergency global ministry over pets, yet no worldwide emergency readings over child abuse, drink driving, or protecting victims?Why does the Rapid Relief Team publicly promote Cookie the kookaburra as a comforting mascot with stuffed toys and emotional symbolism, while inside the church members are reportedly told that pets are spiritually dangerous and take affection away from “God”?And what did Revelation actually mean when it spoke about “dogs” outside the gates?The deeper you look into this story, the stranger it becomes.#PBCC #PlymouthBrethrenChristianChurch #ExclusiveBrethren #RapidReliefTeam #BruceHales #CultAwareness #LadyWhistleblown #GetALifePodcast

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.
