A podcast for ex-cult members (specifically the PBCC) to share their harrowing stories of what they endured

About us

The Get-A-Life podcast is all about escaping from cults – in particular, the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church, (PBCC) or Exclusive Brethren as they were formerly known. Founded by former USA and Canadian PBCC members Carman, Cheryl, Lane and Richard in 2022, the informal conversation format was an instant hit, and the series has featured both harrowing and heartwarming, humourous and heroic stories of cult escapers, as well as interviews with psychologists, journalists and cult experts. In 2023 UK/Europe and Australia/New Zealand hosting teams came on board, and the podcast is going from strength to strength – becoming an in-depth resource for the media and researchers and quoted in mainstream media. The name and logo of the podcast reflect the intense but exhilarating experience of breaking out of the dark oppressive “box” of mental, physical and spiritual oppression and cultic control, into the sunshine and fresh air of freedom and a new life.

    And a reminder of what an insider emailed Get A Life regarding these "degrees"- "this poor suckered fool is twisting words again, in here there is a 12/15 month multi module course provided by ubt that is called ABM. yes ABM, its a play on words like everything else they try to blur. ABM stands for Advanced Business Module or similar. and they actually mention off the record of course coff coff that this is a shortened/condensed version of a business MBA. yup for about 16000-18000 new zealand dollars you can do this. the peer pressure is also real to do it and from business community. and its basically alot of cobbled together theory from Harvard & similar business papers, online resources. and you are expected to put some crazy hours into this "MBA" and then they ask you to brag about how you managed to put in 50 hours a week on it and still managed to work your normal job and how you feel you now feel you have 20 years experience but you are only in your second year of working etc. its delirious and hilarious. so i think what the poor young man is trying to brag about is that he has a nice shiny laminated ABM certificate with a nice mark on it that is only really generated from essays.... watch out business world here i come! " 😆

    Awe! How cute is this! The PBCC's facade of a charity helping the homeless- a place they throw their own people to if you don't do as they say!

    Here is a snapshot of different RRT events supporting #NationalHomelessnessWeek! Homelessness knows no boundaries and can impact anyone, regardless of background or life circumstances. Aug 5 -11 marked #NationalHomelessnessWeek and RRT has stepped in to help raise awareness and support those in need by serving over 4,780 hearty meals and hot drinks. A huge thank you to Tamworth, Mt Gambier, Wagga Wagga, Young, Orange, Adelaide, and the HO team for their unwavering support. #rrtcares

    If you think that Bruce Hales is right, you should be afraid. The Bible speaks very harshly about false prophets, and if you’re following Bruce Hales, you need to think about that carefully. What he says here is blasphemy, pure blasphemy and goes directly against the Bible. It breaks my heart that there are people I love that are so brainwashed that they believe this.

    Too bad they didn't hand these out with every person that gets cut off from their sources when they're thrown out of the #PBCC I really hope one day, this facade of a charity cleans up their own backyard and posts pictures everywhere of them doing so. What a rapid relief that would be!

    RRT found the need to create a product that can provide relief in all environments, let it be fire, flood, or a hurricane. The RRT Essentials Box has all the necessities people need to pull through. 💗🤗 #RRTcares

    I agree, the Kenyan Cult needs more exposure! Horrific what can happen when people follow someone claiming to be talking straight to God!

    A tragedy that demonstrates how mind control can make people turn away from one of humanity's most basic instincts - caring for and protecting our own children. Read more in this chilling NYT article about the Kenyan Death Cult that lead to the tragic deaths of over 400 people. To quote the article the prosecutor states: "The case before you, your honor, is not just for a trial, but for a reckoning,” Betty Rubia, one of the prosecutors, told the Mombasa chief magistrate, the Hon. Alex Ithuku, who is hearing the case. This “is about the exploitation of faith, the erosion of humanity and the chilling cost of blind devotion.” -https://lnkd.in/eRh3VNdh
