Get A Life - Ex-Cult Conversations

The PBCC’s PR machine landed a double-page spread in Adelaide’s The Advertiser, and Russell grew up with the man in it. He takes the article apart claim by claim: the “interactive, fun service”, listening to the Eagles and following the Crows. None of it matches the Brethren life he and his old friends know. Just because Bruce lies doesn’t mean you need to.#PBCC #PlymouthBrethren #ExclusiveBrethren #RustysRants #plymouthbrethrenchristianchurch #rapidreliefteam #OneSchoolGlobal #adelaideadvertiser #mythbuster #Lies

Why does a church need an NDA?Members of the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church are being told they must sign a "Participation Agreement" before they can attend special PBCC events, including the upcoming New Zealand meeting with Bruce Hales. In this video, Steve Simmons reads the fine print, and it's not what you'd expect from a church.Confidential forever. Covers what's "kept in your memory". No "disparaging" comments, even if they're true. Copyright in your own words handed over to PBCC Operations. Disputes settled by arbitration in London. And you're not even allowed to tell anyone the Agreement exists.Steve asks the questions every member should be asking. What exactly is being protected? Would anyone reading the New Testament find a precedent for this? And at what point does a church become so closed that its charitable status deserves a closer look?Signed it already, or about to? Stay to the end and listen to what you can sign to help you.Link to Participation Agreement/NDA-https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/ml2l2zs92qv3dovhstphh/AMWLBnXCxH68JBGkij7i65c?rlkey=1kyenv2vv7ps7z3cf35fubw39&st=juheb3qo&dl=0The Statement of Objection is here:https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/tkazeeochoq0c1l3perr8/Statement-of-Objection.pdf?rlkey=fjl6dfj1weuynsa544klr0wqw&st=ygczhr0w&dl=0Admin/Legal email address:stouffvillelegal-gal@protonmail.comOffice address:22 Braid BendStouffville ONL4A 1R7#PBCC #PlymouthBrethren #ExclusiveBrethren #plymouthbrethrenchristianchurch #BruceHales #cultawareness #cult #freedomofspeech #humanrights #rapidreliefteam #oneschoolglobal

Following on from Rusty’s Rants #2, Russell holds the PBCC up against Luther’s pillars: only faith, only scripture and only Christ. Bruce Hales says your eternal salvation is “totally and absolutely in question” if you leave. He claims Jesus doesn’t come anywhere else, and members are told they can’t be fully cleansed unless they confess in graphic detail to two or more priests. So how can a church like that call itself mainstream? Russell lets Bruce’s own words answer it.#PBCC #PlymouthBrethren #ExclusiveBrethren #RustysRants #MartinLuther #GetALifePodcast #ExCultConversations #plymouthbrethrenchristianchurch #BruceHales #rapidreliefteam #OneSchoolGlobal #cultawareness

Today we bring you the two people Bruce Hales would least like you to meet: journalist Michael Bachelard, author of Behind the Exclusive Brethren, and financial analyst Damian Hastie of Brethren Intelligence. We dissect Bruce and Gareth Hales’s appearance before Australia’s Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters, with their wriggling, slithering smokescreens of improbable ignorance, selective amnesia and outright fucking lies.For decades the PBCC has dismissed every critic as a bitter former member with an axe to grind. That won’t work this time. Michael and Damian have never been members, have no family inside and no grudge to settle. Damian has followed the money through the Brethren’s gravy train, a colossal cartel of businesses amassing billions under the guise of charity. So when the Hales told Parliament Michael’s reporting was lies, that the PBCC has no hierarchy, clergy or businesses, and that Bruce is unpaid, you’ll soon see who has the facts.Link to Michael Bachelards articles-Exclusive Brethren don’t vote but are secretly campaigning for the Coalitionhttps://archive.li/osEeVExclusive Brethren chief’s son spotted on hustings supporting Liberal Partyhttps://archive.ph/ZkTOq‘A 100 per cent turnout’: Leaks reveal Brethren secrecy push, bid to ramp up poll presencehttps://archive.is/k2i72‘What’s going on?’: Why the Exclusive Brethren are out in force this electionhttps://archive.ph/zv9bw‘Game On’: The minute-long message that unleashed the Brethren’s election machinehttps://archive.ph/LPK2d‘I’m glad we didn’t win’: Liberal campaigners feared Brethren-fuelled Dutton victoryhttps://archive.ph/F0HG4‘We’re not a cult’ and a call for $250 million: Inside Exclusive Brethren’s rallying call to membershttps://archive.ph/a5H6sMother hit by Liberal pamphlets tells inquiry Brethren made voting ‘unsafe’ https://archive.ph/dEkJAInquiry into Brethren election involvement calls on Dutton to appearhttps://archive.li/c3JmM‘Never mind the N@zis’, Coalition says to the Brethren. ‘Just show us the money’https://archive.ph/0ITB5Secrecy, loyalty, discipline: Videos, texts blow lid on Brethren election conducthttps://archive.li/xXwbvLiberal calls summons threat to Exclusive Brethren, Advance a ‘political plaything’https://archive.ph/SELPW‘An assault on our democracy’: New push to clean up election day chaoshttps://archive.md/cctq2‘Bizarre’, ‘extraordinary’: Exclusive Brethren spokesman objects to being asked questionshttps://archive.ph/lof5nExclusive Brethren secretly paid far-right activists to perform stunts disrupting the federal electionhttps://archive.ph/5mRPVBrethren zealots forgot religion and politics don’t mixhttps://archive.ph/8eeOB‘Tail, film, heckle’: Inside the Brethren’s secret election influence plot with the far-righthttps://archive.ph/ztWqJ‘Weird mates’: Brethren ‘up to their eyeballs’ in far-right election plot, Labor tells parliamenthttps://archive.ph/rLIzT‘The jig is up’: Global Exclusive Brethren leaders face grilling over election conducthttps://archive.is/Z6vbT‘Assault on democracy’: Brethren leaders called to answer for far-right election plothttps://archive.ph/31CCu‘More power to redheads’: Brethren leader backs Hanson, building nuclear b0mbshttps://archive.li/LjVREExclusive Brethren leader calls Jews ‘wicked’, ‘infidel’ as Liberals remain silenthttps://archive.is/tcWijWhen a Liberal senator, I was asked by the party to meet with some ‘business people’.

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
