Get A Life Ep.173 The Plymouth Brethren Christian Church, the Antichrist and the Earl of Lester
The Plymouth Brethren Christian Church invited the Geelong Advertiser into its new Geelong meeting hall to show the public that, "At the end of the day, we're just ordinary people."So... how did that work out?Get-A-Life takes a critical look at the resulting article and asks why Bruce Hales, having condemned "reputation-seeking" as a bane, keeps running back to Rupert Murdoch for more punishment.The article poses the Geelong B-team of Peter Connell, Lester Earl and Damian Earl in their strange, windowless bunker of a "gospel hall," where they take turns feeding the bemused journalist a frothy brew of lies, evasion and, startlingly, one rather damning nugget of actual factual truth.We provide a sober and measured commentary, illustrated by profound excerpts from the ministry of Bruce D. Hales, and a thrilling video clip of Gareth pretending to be best mates with a bunch of assorted tradesmen.Peter Connell also reveals, for the first time, how Bruce financed his $70 million Sydney property portfolio.So what are the Brethren, at the end of the day? Just ordinary people—or a grotesque and surreal cult of brainwashed Hales sycophants desperately trying to pass themselves off as a mainstream Christian church?Watch the podcast and judge for yourself!Link for insiders- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/jf6qcuc62v7bk9jzno8rz/4500-173.mp4?rlkey=mp0cmbbmoq01jei0eqbuumran&st=ohq3k3n5&dl=0Link to GoFundMe- https://gofund.me/8b9f805ccTo 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

Get A Life Ep.172 The Hunters Have Become The Hunted: RRT & Plymouth Brethren Christian Church
The Rapture may not be imminent, but Rapid Relief Team v Bawtinheimer certainly is, with the first hearing in this critical court case this week. We bring you the latest twists and turns as RRT’s lawyers Church and Graif try every trick in the book to escape Randazza’s revenge - and fail. While the PBCC’s legal, political and publicity platforms collapse around his ears, Bruce boldly bullshits on, too drunk, stupid or both to understand that it is game over for the hateful Hales dynasty. We bring you some samples of his recent “helpful ministry” in which his casual cruelty, misogyny and “shoot the messenger” approach to his parishioner’s problems is proudly paraded. And yes, we are launching another round of fundraising for the ongoing legal expenses of defending Get-A-Life Podcast against Bruce’s increasingly desperate efforts to silence the voices exposing him as the fraud and imposter he is. If you feel GAL has brought you any measure of insight, wisdom, humor or empowerment, please give a little back to the cause to keep us on the air!Link for insiders- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/zp1w4gp3bljqdhv8x9jlj/45000-172.mp4?rlkey=ld4y9cvpfnu7b3tx8luvjcqoy&st=gfr0z4dm&dl=0Link to Court Hearing June 18 2pm Pacific- https://www.cand.uscourts.gov/jstLink to GoFundMe- https://gofund.me/8b9f805ccTo 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

Get A Life Ep.171: Plymouth Brethren Christian Church Cult Leader Doubles Down on Insane 2003 Rules
On the heels of the global outrage over the PBCC pet ban, Bruce Hales isn't backing down. Instead, he's reaching back into the archives and resurrecting some of his most infamous ministry from 2003. And he didn't do it once. He did it two Thursdays in a row.That tells you this isn't about nostalgia or revisiting church history. It's about re-establishing boundaries and reminding members exactly where the lines are.The reaction inside has been unlike anything I've seen in years. Members are questioning, families are arguing, young people are pushing back, and priests are being left to explain how rules from 2003 are supposed to work in 2026.Some members think Bruce Hales has completely lost touch with reality. Others see this as the "door" they have been waiting for: their Aberdeen moment all over again. Meanwhile, parents are scrambling to contain the pushback happening inside their own homes as younger members hear teachings that many never experienced the first time around.How extreme are these rules? Imagine being told that entering a restaurant is a spiritual breach because worldly people use the same door. Imagine being told that a football stadium is off limits because worldly people walk through the entrance. Imagine being told that a swimming pool, skating rink, or public event becomes sinful simply because you're standing shoulder-to-shoulder with ordinary members of society.That isn't an exaggeration. Those are Bruce Hales' own words.Head to 5:36 for the first meeting and hear the full audio for yourself.Then jump to 1:24:40 for the second recording, where the separation doctrine becomes even more explicit.Many insiders believe Bruce Hales is deliberately creating an Aberdeen-style moment, forcing members to choose a side and exposing who is prepared to follow him wherever he leads. Others believe this is a final attempt to tighten control before eventually passing the torch to the next generation of leadership.Whatever the motivation, one thing is clear: these recordings are not the words of a mainstream Christian church. They reveal a system built on separation, conformity, and control. Judge for yourself. But to us, this is about as culty as it can get!Link for Insiders- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/lwzczczbk9mtr0ioa6ij2/45000-171.mp4?rlkey=wthvys046gqjilhr1kqky0dvm&st=9v4rzl0s&dl=0Link to GOFUNDME for legal suit against Cheryl and the Get a Life podcast- https://gofund.me/e976c9d77To 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/Preston 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
