Get A Life - Ex-Cult Conversations

When the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church announced an unprecedented Woman’s Seminar recently, we were stunned! After 200 years of profound misogyny and exploitation, was the Handmaid’s Tale of the Real Housewives of PBCC finally coming to an end? Were women actually being allowed to think, to speak, to make decisions for themselves? Would there be female trustees and directors of ecosystem entities?What would the theme of the Woman’s Seminar be? Empowerment? Autonomy? Trusting your feminine instincts? Equality? How to say NO to abusive men? Equal pay in the workplace? Protecting yourself and your children from the PBCC’s ubiquitous pedophiles? - or perhaps a more scriptural theme – the Great Women of the Bible – Esther, Ruth, Deborah, the Queen of Sheba?Sadly, the vaunted “Woman’s Seminar “ was mostly about…wait for it…The Great Men. Yes, you read that right – a Woman’s Seminar all about THE GREAT MEN. How women should utterly submit themselves to these exulted demi-gods, how just a look from their Beedy eyes should reduce every female to trembling submission, and thrilling recollections from a sister of being kissed at age 12 by the lecherous and despicable JTJr.This revolting seminar, highly scripted and doubtless written in its entirety by men, exceeded our worst conjectures. Listen as Andrea, Cassie and Cheryl rip into this heinous piece of coercive cultic crap, and Richard exposes some remarkable and shocking secrets about Dean Hales’ shoes.Link for Insiders- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/hpta9ex2owz14zfsynekk/45000-156.mp4?rlkey=jh9h19y64q6jm22k6ml77wmjd&st=zfucjk6i&dl=0To share your story or be a guest on the show, email [email protected] 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:[email protected] address:22 Braid BendStouffville ONL4A 1R7#plymouthbrethrenchristianchurch #pbcc #abuse #church #cult #religion #trauma #religioustrauma #sexualabuse #mindcontrol #brainwashing #conversation #exmembers #exposingtruth #expose #exposure #whistleblower #getalifepodcast #getalife #podcast #rules #strict #exclusivebrethren #brucehales #BruceHales #BDH #BruceDHales #UniversalBusinessTeam #UBT #RRT #RapidReliefTeam #Aberdeen #OneSchoolGlobal #OSG #johnhales #shutup #withdrawnfrom #worldly #excommunicate #assemblydeath #christiansect #christiancult #canadiancult #canadiansect #sect #worldwidesect #worldwidecult #cultescape #cultescapestory #bully #bullying #brokenfamily #awareness #cultescape #cultandculturepodcast #cultescapee #cultescapeer #cultescapeeinterview #askingforhelp #unispace

We delve into the haunting echoes of faith, family, and freedom with acclaimed author Rebecca Stott. Her memoir, In the Days of Rain, is a lyrical and courageous exploration of life inside and beyond the Exclusive Brethren, a fundamentalist Christian sect that shaped her childhood and shadowed her family’s history. Rebecca joins us to unpack the complexities of growing up in a world governed by rigid doctrine and separation from society and the Aberdeen era that will forever leave a mark on the Exclusive Brethren's history. We’ll explore how her father, once a senior member of the Brethren, led their family out of the sect and how that rupture reverberated across generations. With remarkable insight and tenderness, Rebecca reflects on belief, rebellion, and the power of storytelling to reclaim identity. Whether you’re drawn to memoir, religious history, or the resilience of the human spirit, this conversation promises to be unforgettable.

Welcome to Strive 26 part 2! - and if Part 1 shocked you, you better be sitting down for Part 2 because we are calling out the profoundly devious and corrupt PBCC leadership on a whole new series of scams, scandals and lies that would make a seasoned demon blush with shame. Lets start with Roddy Cox coaching the entire PBCC membership how to lie to the world at large, by cunningly pretending that ‘PBCC’ means the cult’s tiny corporate office, and not the organization as a whole. Then he has the eye-watering audacity to quote the Symington era mantra “We have nothing to parade, nothing to hide.” We proceed to UBT Orbit, who dictate and control every detail of members’ travel and accommodation (It’s not a cult…) and in exchange for overcharging your plane ticked by at least 300%, will assist you to your seat and give you a complementary cup of joe. Then we have the “brainwashing-denial brainwashing” – a bit of an oxymoron – where they “prove” that their children aren’t brainwashed because they “only” go to church 7 days a week and 5 times on Sundays. We then review the spectacular fails of Bruce D Hales, from the NZ election disaster of 2005 right through to the bloody Australian election catastrophe of 2025. These pivotal events are curiously not mentioned in Strive26 – but given they have nothing to hide, and their sudden passion for Transparency and Accountability, they will no doubt be glad we rectified their accidental omission. Then we have the great OSG Money Laundering Scam Round 2, the brazen theft of the entire multi-billion dollar meeting hall portfolio, and last but not least, the $1.2 billion Vision Foundation AKA Global Endowment Fund scam – whose claimed $100 million profit has vanished like an unattended cookie in a daycare. Nothing to hide…nothing to hide…just keep repeating the mantra until you believe it’s true. This podcast starts with a very powerful song called Bring Back The Love which is an original composition and visual interpretation by individuals whose lives have been affected by Exclusive Brethren/PBCC.Link for insiders- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/8twjzmh43ewc3cofc4bc0/45001-154.mp4?rlkey=nl5tan04ocu4xfycbwtl41ken&st=8yikz87f&dl=0Link to Articles and podcasts episodes-https://archive.ph/TnP7Yhttps://archive.ph/iXWQOhttps://archive.ph/klwpwhttps://archive.ph/Tezn2https://archive.ph/Ohu6iPlymouth Brethren Christian Church linked business network, UBT, repays millions to ATO- https://archive.ph/TnP7YWe’re not a cult’ and a call for $250 million: Inside Exclusive Brethren’s rallying call to members- https://archive.ph/a5H6sSteve Simmons podcast re OSG scandal- https://youtu.be/HNnkaDA2BZ8?si=xljsxDr56E9VHc0BTo share your story or be a guest on the show, email [email protected] a Life Paypal donations -https://www.paypal.me/getalifepodcastGet a Life GoFundMe-https://gofund.me/614bcd06Olive Leaf Network- https://oliveleaf.network/Thinking of Leaving Pamphlet and resources - https://oliveleaf.network/resources/Preston Down Trust Decision-http://www.charitycommission.gov.uk/media/591398/preston_down_trust_full_decision.pdfAberdeen incident- https://drive.google.com/file/d/1riImgAqwaqGwjYq6vRQIr4_jscJA0eQN/view?usp=sharingIf we walk in the light letters-https://drive.google.com/file/d/14WlgJladl1r95YGxW0FbZ0prYfjlg7FU/view?usp=sharingAdmin/Legal email address:[email protected] address:22 Braid BendStouffville ONL4A 1R7#plymouthbrethrenchristianchurch #pbcc #abuse #church #cult #religion #trauma #religioustrauma #sexualabuse #mindcontrol #brainwashing #conversation #exmembers #exposingtruth #expose #exposure #whistleblower #getalifepodcast #getalife #podcast #rules #strict #exclusivebrethren #brucehales #BruceHales #BDH #BruceDHales #UniversalBusinessTeam #UBT #RRT #RapidReliefTeam #Aberdeen #OneSchoolGlobal #OSG #johnhales #shutup #withdrawnfrom #worldly #unispace

Strive 26 might be compared to a vast tray of bland and innocuous cat litter, enriched in places with a few half-buried juicy and mephitic turds. In today’s episode, the GAL team dons hazmat suits to venture across the sandy wasteland of meaningless acronyms, feel-good slogans and business buzzwords, to excavate and dissect the unpleasant fecal deposits carefully concealed therein by the alley cats of Ermington, AKA the Hales mafia family. In this, we have the invaluable aid of Scottish investigator Damian Hastie, who unerringly pursues the scent of Brethren malfeasance with the nightmarish persistence of the Hound of the Baskervilles.As we were recording this episode, the PBCC was hit by the devastating news that the UBT had plead guilty to a massive tax evasion scheme, and were in the process of repaying multiple millions of dollars to the ATO. The rising mushroom cloud of this ‘end-times’ event casts a lurid glow over the Strive26 seminar and explains the unseemly haste to wrap up the pledge process ahead of this damning wake-up call to the long-suffering members of the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church.Link for insiders- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/k1e0o8hbst8te76eptfmk/45000-153-1.mp4?rlkey=9kwblce6hni4eacbnfpuxom53&st=90uq88oa&dl=0Link to Articles and podcasts episodes-Plymouth Brethren Christian Church linked business network, UBT, repays millions to ATO- https://archive.ph/TnP7YWe’re not a cult’ and a call for $250 million: Inside Exclusive Brethren’s rallying call to members- https://archive.ph/a5H6sSteve Simmons podcast re OSG scandal- https://youtu.be/HNnkaDA2BZ8?si=xljsxDr56E9VHc0BTo share your story or be a guest on the show, email [email protected] 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:[email protected] 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

Today, on November 18th — the anniversary of Jonestown — we honour the 918 lives lost to a destructive, high-control group. It’s a stark reminder of what can happen when loyalty, secrecy, and unquestioned authority replace truth, autonomy, and critical thought. Their memory calls us to remain vigilant, to speak up, and to listen when people inside controlling systems find the courage to tell the truth.In this short episode, I read out a set of powerful insider comments about the PBCC’s recent Strive26 seminar. These comments expose the reality behind the polished presentation, the psychological pressure, the forced messaging, and the widening gap between what the PBCC claims and what its own members are experiencing.The insider walks through how the PBCC meets nine of the ten internationally recognized criteria for a cult. Their words shed light on the control, the gaslighting, the exhaustion, and the fear that many families inside are living with every day.To every insider who continues to speak, quietly or boldly: you are not alone.To those who have left: your clarity saves lives.And to those still inside these systems: there is nothing wrong with questioning what doesn’t feel right.Thank you for listening, for caring, and for helping bring these stories into the light.Link for insiders- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/goeymlokj1gukjiqt5944/Strive-26-podcast-iinsider-comments-ep.152.mp4?rlkey=2qldoo7qejyr1db09toc6nag9&st=wm7ram8q&dl=0To share your story or be a guest on the show, email [email protected] 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:[email protected] 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
