  • Get A Life Ep. 44 with guest Cassie Davies

    Cassie’s story will seem utterly unbelievable to anyone who has never been in the PBCC, but sadly familiar to the rest of us. One of 10 children raised by an authoritarian father and a mother driven to the depths of despair by mistreatment and bullying, Cassie was on the verge of marrying a young brother she barely knew, when she was struck by a conviction that she needed to leave the controlling sect and end the generational curse of spousal coercive control. One of the most riveting podcasts we have experienced, and an incredible story of how a single moment of enlightenment saved a young woman from degradation and made her the thriving success that she is today. Even though this is a 2 hour podcast, it's full of wise, sage advice from a woman who has seen and heard more than her share. Sit back, take it in small chunks and realize why Ben and Cassie are the perfect fit to open their arms to their Australian podcast.

  • Get A Life Podcast Ep 43 with guest Fritz Penney

    Another brave young man speaks out about how it feels to be gay in the brethren. Fritz talks openly about how different he felt in an very closed community. He tells a story of bullying through his teenage years and the worthlessness he felt as he realised that he would never fit into the community he was born into. The manner which Fritz describes how gradually contact with his much loved family ceased will strike a chord with many others that have left. He talks candidly about how he has gained confidence as a person after leaving, and shares with us an incredible creative talent that would never have been nurtured within the brethren. This story is a testament to anyone that there is kindness and love in this world and the freedom to be yourself is liberating.

  • Get A Life Podcast Ex-cult Conversations Episode 42 Damian Hasties

    Damian Hastie's investigations in to the PBCC have already been published in The Times - probably the most famous newspaper in the world. Here he gives a summary of the results to date of his comprehensive review of Brethren business and family wealth in the UK. Here on Get A Life we have repeatedly said that the brethren collect far, far more money than they could possibly spend on their schools - but we never had any hard numbers to back up this assertion - until now! Damian gives us a mind blowing account of just how much money the wealthiest families in the brethren are making, and just how little of that wealth it would take to run the entire OneSchool system. The burning question is - where does all the money go? Listen in on conversations with ex-cult members. As we dissect the hidden lairs within these cults, we reveal the real trauma that goes on behind closed doors.

  • Get A Life Podcast Ep 41 with guest Ross Turner

    TRIGGER WARNING This podcast contains discussions about suicide. Viewer discretion is advised
    Join us as we explore with Ross Turner how it feels to be in the brethren and gay. Ross describes how he was told therapy sessions would ‘make him straight’ and how he had to deal with the feelings of worthlessness not only because he was gay but also because he had been born into a community who would never accept him the way he was. He recounts the effect this attitude had on his family and speaks with emotion over how he was not able to even say goodbye to his Mother. His story demonstrates the controlling methods employed by the brethren to try to make someone conform to their ways, and how that sent him into a mental spiral of addictions to try to cope with the pressure. Nine years later, Ross has overcome these additions and has found freedom in life with his partner. Ross finishes with a heartfelt message for anyone in the brethren who is gay.

  • Get A Life Podcast Ex-cult Conversations Episode 40 Ben Woodbury

    We can't get enough of Ben Woodbury! Here is the much anticipated Part 2 of the podcast where Ben exposes how the Hales dynasty deleted a whole city off the map for the sake of a personal grievance, and then used a brethren spokesman to lie to the press about it. The perverted reasoning behind the eviction order, and the glib lies used to cover it up are so ultra-cultish it makes Scientology look like the Woman's Institute Knitting Circle. Ben also drops his own insights in to who will be the Mog when the current Mog meets his maker. You might get a surprise here! listen in on conversations with ex-cult members. As we dissect the hidden lairs within these cults, we reveal the real trauma that goes on behind closed doors.

  • Get A Life Podcast ex-cult conversations. Episode 39 Michael Bachelard

    Michael Bachelard is Bruce Hale's nemesis. Having blown the cult's appalling history of political, financial and sexual crime wide open in numerous newspaper articles and the famous book, "Behind the Exclusive Brethren". He then added insult to injury by not being struck by lightning, dying of leprosy or succumbing to any other curses that the ever vengeful cult expected a wrathful God to smite him with. In fact, as you will see, he looks remarkably cheerful. Michael reveals some eye-popping details about the late Tony McCorkill that will have Bruce frothing with rage, scoops some particularly mephitic dirt on the late unlamented Dr. Kirkpatrick, and gives some titillating inside information on how he has pulled the wool over the brethren's eyes. He's led them up the garden path and left them up the creek without a paddle.

  • Get A Life Podcast Ep 36 with guest Ben Woodbury

    Ben Woodbury from Windsor, Australia has an incredible and damning story about his life in and out of the PBCC. He also has a mind-blowing talent for putting his experiences and emotions into speech. So many things he said touched a deep chord with us, as he gave expression to experiences that we all shared but had been unable to form into words.  Ben recounts some horrific and traumatic happenings, but his smile, humour  and personality are living proof that he is in a far better place than the narrow-minded and brainwashed bullies that tried for so long to drag him down. Since leaving, he has gone from success to success and he shows us amazing photos of himself as a………...but you will have to watch it for yourself to find out what that was!

  • Get A Life Podcast Ep. 34 with John Spinks and the NEW UK team

    Listen to how our guest John Spinks decided as a young man to make his escape from the PBCC cult and what his plan for leaving looked like.  John reminded us their are over 40,000 different religions worldwide and each one of them believes they are the "chosen" one.  So that means if you belong to a religion you have approximately 40,000 to 1 chances of being in the "Chosen" one!  John explains how his experience led him to write a book about it years later and the emotional journey that writing the book took him on.  He received strict orders from inside the church no to write his book which slowed him down not even one bit!!
