Growing Up In Polygamy

Exposing the Exclusive Brethren/PBCC: Two Stories of Trauma and Escape from Religious Control


Listen Later

In this eye-opening video, we sit down with two courageous individuals who share their deeply personal experiences growing up within the Exclusive Brethren/ Plymouth Brethren Christian Church (PBCC). They reveal the intense strictness and dominance exerted by the church and its leaders, shedding light on the emotional and psychological trauma they endured. Through their heartfelt stories, they offer a powerful testimony of resilience and hope, illustrating the strength it takes to break free from oppressive environments. Join us for an honest and moving conversation about life, faith, and the journey to reclaiming their freedom.
