    Aug 27 2025
    Ian Arbon was present at the infamous July 1970 meetings in Aberdeen, where Jim Taylor Jr., the powerful leader of the Exclusive Brethren, shocked many with his behaviour. Ian describes how the atmosphere was tense and mocking, far from the reverence he expected from a brethren meeting.He saw how “Big Jim” controlled the room, playing to the crowd and the press like a performer. It was clear to Ian that Taylor knew exactly what he was doing. But things took a darker turn when Taylor was found in a compromising situation with a married woman; an event that led the Aberdeen Brethren to reject him and send him back to New York.This moment became the biggest scandal in the history of the Brethren, yet it was quickly covered up by leadership. Many members left, but the truth was buried. Ian describes the impact this had on him and his family and many other brethren. This accounts is collaborated by Rebecca Stott who also joins us to delve into the trust of this scandal.Join us to hear Ian Arbon’s firsthand account and learn what really happened, where he shares the inside story as an eyewitness to one of the most controversial events in the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church's history.Link for insiders- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ugoe2yysc792m7vyroiuz/45000-143.mp4?rlkey=he065zaubg9wpryr23icgbij9&st=rfjjxeeg&dl=0Aberdeen 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=sharingTo 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.pdfAdmin/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

    Mark’s story is one of quiet courage and transformation. In 1975, he left the Exclusive brethren, now known as the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church. This was not something he planned or had wanted. He was given no choice in the decision. Stepping away from such a community meant not only redefining his beliefs but also rebuilding his life from the ground up, without the support of family or lifelong friends. What was the reason for withdrawing Mark?? He simply wasn't fit for Christianity, says the Exclusive Brethren members! Since then, Mark has navigated a path marked by resilience, curiosity, and a deep commitment to personal growth. He and his wife were able to adopt 2 children, something that isn't allowed inside the cult. Join us as Mark explains how he has navigated his journey to find acceptance with events of 50 years ago including the infamous review where they showed up on his doorstep! Mark shares his story not to dwell on the past, but to offer insight, hope, and understanding to others who may be questioning their own paths or seeking connections beyond the boundaries of the PBCC.
