Get A Life - Ex-Cult Conversations

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
