Get A Life - Ex-Cult Conversations

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

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.
