    Get A Life Ep.152 Plymouth Brethren Christian Church Insiders react to Strive 26:The PBCC is a cult

    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 info.getalife@proton.meGet 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: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

    Get A Life Ep. 151 The Plymouth Brethren Christian Church’s “Not-So-Exclusive” Podcast: FULL OF LIES

    The Brethren are revolting! Not since the Aberdeen scandal have so many of the rank-and-file PBCC members been so outraged by the folly of their leaders. The sight and sound of a smirking Lloyd Grimshaw lobbing softball questions to Bruce’s repulsive whisky-soaked spawn, to be answered by a pre-scripted farrago of lies and evasions has been the last straw for much of the abused and battered flock. We have picked out a further selection of angry and heartfelt letters from current PBCC members who feel scorned and betrayed by these arrogant, entitled pricks. We also address the outrageous MOG-cast claim that families are not requited to cut-off former members, with a shocking recording taken just this week of Cheryl’s husband Curtis having the door slammed in his face as he seeks to have a discussion with Cheryl’s siblings in Maple Creek. We, the “opposers” the “apostates” the “disaffected former members” have often been accused of bitterness, and told we should “move on”. And so, on this podcast, we step aside. Dear PBCC members, this is not US taking about you and your crooked cult, this is YOU, your own current members, speaking out about the reality of life in your “gilded cage” and the compulsive lying of your greedy leaders. Let the rebellion roll!Link for insiders- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/c1qbcf3b2is0hbghl6suq/Get-A-Life-podcast-Ep-151-PBCC-podcasts-lies.mp4?rlkey=jv5a2qmniluhqrxrqkz0eviwo&st=jh616z14&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/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: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

    Inside story: Plymouth Brethren Christian Church Illegal Australian 2025 Election Campaign

    Democracy belongs to the people, not the PBCC.The cult that told its followers not to vote has now collided straight into Australia’s democracy.In the 2025 federal election, members of the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church (PBCC) — also known as the Exclusive Brethren — appeared at polling booths across the country, aggressively backing political parties they once called “worldly and evil.”This video exposes their coordinated influence, the hypocrisy behind their so-called “volunteering,” and the rising public backlash against intimidation at the polls. Leaked audio from a PBCC member shows just how far they went to conceal their illicit campaign.

    Voices From Inside- Part 3: The Cult Can’t Spin This OneThey can polish their PR and call it “the Lord’s work,” but the mask is slipping fast. In this third round of leaked letters from inside the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church, insiders expose what’s really happening behind the glossy podcasts and fake smiles. From “vision” surveys prying into private finances, to device surveillance, arranged marriages, and booze-fueled hypocrisy that would make any preacher blush.The truth hits hard. These are not outsiders talking, they’re voices from within this sect, finally done with the fear, the lies, and the manipulation dressed up as faith. One writer says it best: “Some of us don’t want to go anywhere. We just want to breathe.” That’s the sound of people waking up.If you’re still inside, this episode is your mirror: raw, defiant, and impossible to ignore. The control is cracking, the insiders are talking, and the truth is louder than their spin.They can own the microphones inside but out here, the truth has the volume knob.Link for insiders- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ndgikstynic4rfkfvgvw7/45000-149pt3.mp4?rlkey=5c5utgurv33v68w3kw0h4cnka&st=nk7uqwok&dl=0Link to Part 1 Insider emails- https://youtu.be/qtrIJv6yh6k?si=hdQ7f86KNOcg-UY7Link to Part 2 Insider emails- https://youtu.be/oXBgxpzM0UcLink to articles- https://archive.ph/Ohu6ihttps://archive.ph/Tezn2https://archive.ph/7d78uhttps://archive.ph/pOe7Shttps://archive.is/pUnB7https://archive.ph/1fJVGhttps://archive.ph/8xQJCLink to PBCC podast #1- https://youtu.be/gfdWbjmqv2s?si=wfjhfjaOiFExObdJTo 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/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: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

    JAILHOUSE LETTERS: Messages to BruceIn this second collection of letters from inside the cult, members share a revealing analysis of their own community divided by age and shaped by the ministry under which they were raised. The writer explores how each generation’s conditioning defines its current state of compliance, confusion, or cognitive dissonance.They describe the unwavering loyalty of those now in their 40s and 50s—men and women molded by the militant, fascistic discipline of the Symington era. Then comes the “lost generation,” those in their 30s and 40s, home-schooled under John Hales’s weak and uncertain leadership, left adrift and disillusioned.The collection concludes with several brief but powerful messages directed to the Man of God himself, questions that cut straight to the heart of the matter, and that Lloyd Grimshaw’s sycophantic, self-congratulatory podcast would never dare to raise.Link for insiders- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/gr1ipf429lt5rtsy50joa/45000-148pt2.mp4?rlkey=uizhtz971lggiaerk5kdyjjg4&st=823ydic4&dl=0Link to Part 1 Insider emails- https://youtu.be/qtrIJv6yh6k?si=hdQ7f86KNOcg-UY7Link to articles- https://archive.ph/Ohu6ihttps://archive.ph/Tezn2https://archive.ph/7d78uhttps://archive.ph/pOe7Shttps://archive.is/pUnB7https://archive.ph/1fJVGhttps://archive.ph/8xQJCLink to PBCC podast #1- https://youtu.be/gfdWbjmqv2s?si=wfjhfjaOiFExObdJTo 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/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: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
