  • UNCUT Video of Mick Dover: The video you didn't see on 4 Corners Big Brethren Documentary Re the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church
    **TRIGGER WARNING: DISCUSSION OF SEXUAL ABUSE, PHYSICAL ABUSE, AND SUICIDAL IDEATIONS. **Here's the raw and uncut account of Mick Dover's story that was exposed on the recent 4 corners Big Brethren's documentary. These are clips from his 2 and half hour horrific account on podcast #90. On October 1, 2025, Bruce Hales made a special "crisis management" visit to Melbourne congregation in an attempt to mitigate and contain the fallout from the exposure of the 4 corners Big Brethren documentary that covered the horrific story of Mick Dover's abuse in that city. Shockingly, in the very place where Mick was repeatedly abused, Hales chose to publicly praise Melbourne elder Alf McAlpin, one of Mick’s abusers. At the same time the PBCC is reportedly offering Mick $1 million to buy his silence, Hales personally travels to the scene of the crimes to glorify the perpetrators.Link for insiders for full video- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/boi4bqizr1b991wack3pt/34897-04corners.mp4?rlkey=hhuk9ktghfpximlp864e5u0dx&st=jmry0n5t&dl=0Link to Podcast #90- https://youtu.be/MPL46VDFELcLink to transcript of podcast #90- https://pbccresearch.com/transcripts/90-mick-dover?q=mick+doverTo 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

  • Get A Life Ep.145 Rapid Relief Team: Where's the compassion with guest Damian Hastie
    Compassion, care, support – the heartwarming buzzwords thickly sprinkled over the social media and websites of the Rapid Relief Team and the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church. But where is the compassion when the cameras are turned off and the press has gone home? Former members of the PBCC speak out about the callous and demeaning treatment meted out to them by the cult, whose private cruelty greatly exceeds their public displays of carefully stage-managed “compassion”. Investigator Damian Hastie joins us to expose a scandal at the Exclusive Brethren’s new London Gospel hall and takes us through his website to answer all your questions.Link for Insiders- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/rcjso4tvw6cd4nqbmmntn/45000-145.mp4?rlkey=s4a19nxpiomx5yooh3kaq6o7h&st=sefhnk3h&dl=0Link to Articles-Scotland Police- https://www.pressreader.com/uk/the-sunday-post-newcastle/20250831/281805700048104?srsltid=AfmBOoqHK0UA4yHQ6BJM7FaIHRDDoQCvBxSYRS_PXIBR_vhvtgyLCgiOFire Brigades Union bans RRT https://www.fbu.org.uk/policies/2022/fire-service-provisionfire-ground-cateringCanadaland Article- https://www.canadaland.com/plymouth-brethren-christian-church-members-under-rcmp-investigation-for-alleged-sexual-abuse-in-saskatchewan/Brethren Exposed website link- https://www.brethrenexposed.com/RRT website- truthaboutrrt.comTo 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

  • Get A Life Ep.144 Rapid Relief Team's Branded Trauma: Ex-members Speak Out
    Relief or Deception? How do the Plymouth Brethren hand out branded food and water bottles while ignoring the trauma their church branded on ex-members?In this episode, we sit down to expose the hypocrisy behind the Rapid Relief Team (RRT) and the PBCC’s so-called charitable work. From photo-ops at public events to the misuse of “charity” as a shield, we reveal how their charitable status is used for reputation management while survivors are left carrying lifelong scars.Ex-members share the posts and public displays that hurt them most, showing the real cost behind the Brethren’s carefully polished image. Their biggest issue? The hypocrisy of supporting public causes that mirror the very problems festering in their own backyard.This is Part 2 of our deep dive into the RRT — continuing to uncover how the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church (Exclusive Brethren) use “charity” to cover their own abuses while silencing survivors.Link for insiders- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/v3ey61jk69lm6bbpod8em/45001-144.mp4?rlkey=t677lwltdchm3lokbtpbvovia&st=1rc8ji6b&dl=0Link to articles:Rat Poison article-https://archive.is/jvNM0Area N Open letter- https://www.futureofarean.com/moving-forward/NZ Compost link- https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/landscaping-firm-azwood-ltd-fined-144000-for-compost-runoff-harming-tasman-streams/Z7H4OL2QGBBDFCCNWMHFF5HOHU/Deer abuse article- https://www.thepress.co.nz/nz-news/350451583/group-filmed-man-hit-deer-his-car-gratuitous-actTo 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
