  • Steve Simmons urgent message to the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church

    Steve Simmons urgent message to the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church
    Feb 6 2026
    This video is addressed directly to the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church. Steve Simmons has been a fierce advocate for Cheryl in her fight for justice, and in this message he says what the PBCC continues to refuse to say themselves. While serious and well-documented allegations remain unanswered, the church has chosen silence and that silence is deliberate. The PBCC has continued to push out carefully staged videos projecting compassion and moral authority while refusing to deal with the harm done in its name. Steve tears through that hypocrisy and calls it exactly what it is: image management instead of accountability. He ends with a clear warning — stop producing any more pathetic videos and deal with this matter. Until there is truth, responsibility, and action, the PBCC has no credibility and nothing worth broadcasting.Link for insiders- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/hc82o3a83ceti9htsbd13/Steve-Simmons-video-for-Lawsuit-against-Cheryl.mp4?rlkey=ov4njpfuq2lwqar6ttm1bx86p&st=o0zzehlj&dl=0

  • Get A Life Ep.160 : PBCC Charity, Rapid Relief Team Attacks Cheryl and Get A Life

    Get A Life Ep.160 : PBCC Charity, Rapid Relief Team Attacks Cheryl and Get A Life
    Feb 3 2026
    The Plymouth Brethren Christian Church’s charitable arm, the Rapid Relief Team (RRT), has launched a legal SLAPP action against Cheryl and the Get A Life podcast. Filed in California, the lawsuit accuses Cheryl of copyright infringement over RRT’s “Cookie Bird” cartoon mascot. The claim is false and dishonest — and it serves a far more serious purpose than protecting a cringeworthy cartoon kookaburra.Alan Drever, the Maple Creek PBCC elder accused of sexually abusing and trafficking Cheryl, is also an RRT volunteer. He appears publicly outside Maple Creek Town Hall representing the church and claiming to act in the name of Christian “care and compassion.” After Cheryl obtained a recorded confession from Alan, she wrote directly to PBCC leader Bruce Hales, asking the church to take responsibility for the abuse she suffered inside the cult. No response came from the “Man of God.” What came instead was a lawsuit.The action targets Cheryl personally, but it also targets the Get A Life podcast and by extension, every former PBCC member who has spoken publicly through that platform.In this episode, Cheryl and Richard walk through the full timeline, backed by documentation. This includes the recording of Alan Drever’s confession, disturbing historical links involving Dean Hales and Lloyd (Merrick) Grimshaw, and guest contributions from cult expert Anke Richter and ex-PBCC member Steve Simmons, who offer their own unfiltered assessments of what is unfolding. This episode lays out how a corrupt charity responds when a survivor asks for accountability and how the legal system is abused to silence a whistleblower.Link for insiders- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/j1u7egpyqlwgdvneg9mht/45000-160.mp4?rlkey=oysxsiryu449uoeok8pt148ey&st=agnftau0&dl=0Link to Legal documents- https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Vs70rXTmfJBscBPX1gDnIR8mFfUl2cRi/view?usp=sharingLink to Cheryl's podcast on Blackballed- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4_mcx-f4LQCanadaland article- https://www.canadaland.com/plymouth-brethren-christian-church-members-under-rcmp-investigation-for-alleged-sexual-abuse-in-saskatchewan/Link to Mick Dover Audio- https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09-15/exclusive-brethren-plymouth-alleged-abuse-nda-four-corners/105762208Article to Michael Bachelard death threat- https://archive.ph/XMRyVTo 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.159 with Jason Pittock Part 2- Leaving the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church

    Get A Life Ep.159 with Jason Pittock Part 2- Leaving the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church
    Jan 28 2026
    We continue Jason’s story as he leaves the PBCC, then makes a second, painful attempt to go back in, not because the system deserves another chance, but because the pull of family connection is deliberately weaponized by this calculated, coercive cult. The Plymouth Brethren Christian Church knows exactly what it is doing when it severs ex-members from their families, then cloaks that cruelty in polished lies for the outside world. After 159 podcasts, the pattern is unmistakable: every survivor tells a different story, but the damage is always the same. In Part 2, Jason exposes the degrading, psychologically brutal treatment he endured at the hands of the priests as he tried to “make it work,” revealing a culture steeped in control, humiliation, and fear. We confront the disturbing, negligent absence of sex education inside the Brethren and the lifelong consequences that silence creates. Jason also recounts a volatile, confrontational meeting with their so-called “Man of God,” Bruce Hales, following a horrific accident in Argentina, laying bare the cold indifference, unchecked authority, and moral rot that sit at the very top of this organization.Link for insiders- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/dzf986zda0plxt5e5tlsy/45000-159.mp4?rlkey=0ca9wclo1txumlo50ihoqfnv6&st=gzdhtdd0&dl=0To 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
