That was quick, get cold feet did we?

There is no blessings without GOD

What's the point of their 'evangelism' then? If I ever saw them in my city I'd invite them to mine for dinner...just for a laugh!! Jesus regularly ate with sinners - but they think they're better than Jesus presumably.

So stupid. No windows to keep the world out...but there's a....door. Ooooohhhh, careful, something might sneak in. They built a new hall near me. It looks like a prison camp.

Have you seen tonight’s article from ABC on South Aus? SA Health will 'no longer' partner with charity run by Brethren members, education minister refers schools to standards board

Ben, you're wonderful.

Do you mean you dont sing hymns at all. They did sing in I O MAN. Meeting before1970.

I was raised in another group of brethren,not as strict as these, but if ypu know Jesus as your personel saviour makes all the difference. I have no need of all these worldly things without anyome telling me.

Keep raising awareness Ben. Because it's so secretive, those who have been in the cult or, like me, worked for them, need to raise awareness of who these people are. While I worked for them I saw the abuse and control they doled out to a young man who was trying to leave the cult and did. I supported him as much as I could. I am now supporting a friend who works at the school. They have cameras in every room. They control what is taught so that the teacher cannot make the lessons interesting. The kids have no hope because they know what their future is. And the gene pool is too narrow so there's many kids with ADHD and other things like it. It's hard for teachers to see how the kids are abused by the cult. Keep going Ben. I would love for them to be exposed in all areas as they are being exposed by the ATO's raid!

Just another tool to justify their existence.

I'm with you Ben! Having worked with one of the families, I can totally see why you would never again subject yourself to the control and abuse you grew up with! I won't work in a company of theirs again because of how they treated a young man who was leaving the cult while I worked there. I gave him as much advice as I could for how to be in the world outside - some dangers to look out for. And I was constantly saying to him "That's not what the Bible says" when told me yet another way he was being abused at that time! I'm a Christian and was shocked by just how unChristian and how naive they were. Never ever again!

I dont even get marriage. It is nonsensical to me

I am from this school, and it is interesting to see what others think :)

Religion is proof humans are phucked.

To take advantage of tight arse Tuesday ?

Good for you for getting outta there and that you can enjoy what makes you happy. It's sad your family is still stuck in this mess

Bless you Man , brutal truth telling, angers these demons..stay safe

Excellent Video Ben. Thank you.

Boycot these businesses.

2:32 so you jumped from one cult(brethern) to another (liberalism/LGBTQIA2S) 😂 Do you guys actually sit down and critically think about anything? You always demonise religion, fair enough but then you just slide into another religion like ideology. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Ah yes. Limited gene pool means higher incidents of mild disabilities like ADHD and others which will increase with time because of inbreeding. It's also seen in other closed cultures and where cousin after cousin have married each other for successive generations.

who would ever want to go their ridiculous meetings, all they do is ruin peoples lives anyway

Those people are bastards, utter bastards. With thier buisiness ventures they'll happily take the money of 'heathens'. But they wont break bread with them, as a fact a mate of mine went to a brethen house on some construction buisiness and they all litreally turned thier back on him because they were having dinner. He was only somewhat welcomed because he had money. Apparently they can't eat or drink in front of outsiders. But happy to take thier money with thier business ventures. If you were dying on the street, a Brethen would literally step over you unless you were a member of thier cult or they could make a $ out of you. In my country some of the 'Christian Camps' that are run too teach young people good life and bushcraft schools are actually owned by these charlatans. Just do your due dilligence people,

Would inbreeding eventually cancel them out? Good on you for getting out. I can’t imagine what you’ve been through. I’ve been told there are a lot of these cult people in rural NSW. Would you agree?

Ben good on you for keeping reaching out to your mum no matter how hard it is! One day you won't even be able to do this so keep doing it while she is alive. It's 2 years since my mum died of dementia at 92 and I give anything to be able to be in her presence again. I'm a Christian and worked for one of the families a few years ago and I can definitely say they don't associate with those who aren't Christian! I don't understand how your aunt was able to meet with her old neighbour and think it was ok under their rules! How cruel of her to come to your shop like that!

Wait a second... Do you know how Alligators and Crocodiles eat food in the wild?

I'm sorry you had to deal with any of that, sir. Good on you that you are speaking out about it.

Why did you leave such a wealthy People to live a Poor Life?

You are amazing it's a great idea to do your podcasts they are very enlightening ....

Nice chest

Nice to see you speaking out about the Brethren. It can be a difficult and dangerous thing to do.

You need Jesus

Not a cult Just a religious group Trying to help the whole world And support the nation

Nob

How are these rapacious cults allowed to be treated as "charities" by the ATO when they are just foul rapacious self centred megalomaniacs

That is such a loving message to your mother!

I’m so sorry you are going through this with your mother! Sending a hug and, well, I bet your mother secretly wants to be close, but thinks she’s doing the right thing because of the lies she’s taught! I moved in with my mother as a returning practicing JW a little previous to it, and was trying to be a zealous JW. Not too long after coming here, I REALLY noticed things like misogyny, unfair treatment to some elder kids, versus the regular families, and also there are cliques, and the people snitch on each other! They are a doomsday cult, setting dates and then lying about it. Case 29 in the Australian Royal Commission, shows how bad CSA is within the JWs, and it’s horrendous! I woke up before 2018, and tried to tell my mother TTATT (The Truth About The Truth)but my mother only listens to her (near 10 member leaders called Governing Body Members! She recently told me that “the elders want to do a “shepherding call,” and that she might have to tell them I’m here.” I said, they know I’m here, but she really meant that (because I’m no longer in.) So, it was meant as a threat: to throw me out. I did try show evidence to her because I’m worried that, because of some really scary statements leaders said, that they might have a “Jonestown Event.” They told everyone on written form and in conventions, that “Everyone must obey whatever they are told, even if it doesn’t seem to make sense in a human standpoint.” That gave red flags when I heard that! My mom says she’ll do whatever she’s told! That she loves God (really the leaders) more than me, her family. So, my situation is kind of like walking on egg shells. I REALLY SYMPATHIZE WITH YOUR SITUATION. I lost a lot FOR my mother who actually said she WOULD NOT do similar for me, and it’s because if I do move, she then has to SHUN ME, and here.

As a mother of 3, and a moderate Christian, I absolutely cannot understand this. I let my children know from an early age that I will love them no matter what. How could being gay or believing differently stop a mother from loving her child? I don't get it. I'm so sorry this has happened to you 😔

Lovely image. Nothing wrong with the colour of your pants. The PBCC are idiots.

Registration and Accreditation is no joke. If enough issues are evident the schools can be closed immediately. NESA really do need to be made aware of what they’re actually dealing with here. Also, not that it will really help, going to a mainstream public school didn’t make things easier for Brethren kids back in the day. Family conversations about needing to eat separately, not being able to watch TV even when it was curriculum based , being prevented from reading certain materials required by the curriculum, a constant fear of being watched and told on by other cult kids and having no time for homework or study because of extremely late nights at meetings sounds pretty grim.

There isa youtube channel called "last days" who called the trump attempted assasination 6 months before it happend, VERY specifically, hesaid he would have a bullet graze his ear, etc. He also predicts the rapture, in about 3 more years. Dont assume you are right because others have been wrong.

iI'm so glad you got free, and are helping let the others who want to leave, know that it is possible. I've been also watching a channel called John Spinks who wrote a book called Escaping a Cult, Finding Freedom, and am reading his book. I so relate, even though I was born into the Jehovah's Witnesses. They aren't as well setup though! I suspect their JW App is also a tracking app. Their headquarters called Bethel also sounds very similar in Big Brother ways, even though they're older. They do a Vow of Poverty too. They can't even collect Social Security points for the time volunteering, ever since the 1980's when I guess the JWs introduced that vow to their volunteers! It's pretty draconian, but the ordinary JWs think the Bethelites are treated like royalty because it's supposedly "God's House" only, it's the highest there that get the perks! Anyway, am glad you're helping others figure out how to leave carefully...Great videos! Keep them up! I'm sure you are helping! I woke up in the JWs because of people in other cults (because we were allowed to wath OTHER religious stories, just not hear outside stories about our own (cult.) But also watching exjw ones helped me, so, between all you awesome youtube creators, you are helping cult membes, probably more han you think.

You can run from the brethren but you can't run from God

Is this a new thing? 😂 Definitely not my family BUT I have a serious problem with slipping into an ocker accent. My singing teacher couldn’t fix it. Imagine German Leider a la Kylie Minogue during her Neighbours years 🤦🏻‍♀️ The accent has no connection to the way my family speak on either side. Inbreeding and genetic tendencies to a lazy drawl 🤷🏻‍♀️ 😂

The thought of an actual rapture the way the church explains it today is actually nowhere in the Bible. It was created by a woman I want to say and early American Christianity as a theory to tie specific passages from revelations together. Also the passages that they arbitrarily group together to create this theory would not also grant the theory that believers get rescued from the aftermath of the collapse and fall of civilization. People need to be more carful when reading the scriptures, particularly the ones having to do with prophecy. It’s ok not to know everything, some of it isn’t for us right now.

Its not the rapture teaching that a cult leader is using... its works based salvation. Thats ALL religions. The rapture didnt happen bc the ppl arent ready. That is saying you havent doing enough work yet. Just how much of my work am i to rely on and how much reliance upon faith in The LORD Christ Jesus?? 10%/90% or 25%/75%?? Hmmm how much of works? Zero is the answer im a sinner so nothing i can do to save myself. But it 8snt the blessed, purifying hope of going in the rapture the cult leaders is using to manipulate... its the amount of works you need to do. Nobody would have this problem if they studied to shew themselves (THEM SELF) unto God. Rightly dividing the word of truth. 2tim 2 15. In other words you cant be missled if YOU actually study and read the book yourself. Only one mediator between God and man, the man Jesus Christ.

What we have is not just happiness and peace but a contentment in our lives. Ok we don't always have that but we are content because we can make our own choices about who we marry and where we live and whether to study at university or do a trade. You are free to be yourself because you don't have to follow the cults rules. It takes time to learn who you really are but that will come in time. You need to heal from the hurt you've suffered and then move on. I understand that you have little choice who you marry since the gene pool is so small.

Poor kids, because, how do you know they aren’t being RECORDED? And how did you know they are surveilled with their app? How long has that been going on? One reason I ask is because the Jehovah’s Witnesses at their elite centers and living arrangements for full time service making videos and books (Bethel aka house of God) well, every rank and file think the Bethelites live well, but many live very tight on like $80 a month! They ALSO HAVE AN APP, and have their own ITT, they are somewhat surveilled, and well, NOW I AM WONDERING IF THEY ALSO HAVE AN IDENTICAL APP AND ITT SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM, BUT AREN’T TOLD THEY ARE. Is there a way you found out, or WAS THE PB ITT SURVEILLANCE GENERALLY KNOWN BY ALL??

Wow! I’m out from the cult of JWs which also shun completely, (but JWs never can expect their organization pay for representation or anything) so I don’t think a JW would get help. I do imagine the PB would represent this man. Both cults do their best to stay insular, but not as much JWs. Both have windowless halls! WHAT IS THAT ABOUT I WONDER?? Anyway, I never liked that rule of separating so when I left it wasn’t quite so hard, but it’s still hard because I have yet to formally leave, am listed as inactive. I have a son in and mother too. So, it does surprise me a PB guy did this. Was he semi out? If so, then he was already going through a lot, and that might explain how he was “out of his head” speeding unless he did it out of anger, which seems unlikely! I bet it WILL BE A TOTAL CULTURE SHOCK FOR HIM! I DO sympathize because HE IS ALREADY BLAMING HIMSELF, PROBABLY THINKING HE IS GOING TO HELL, AND GRIEVING THESE FAMILY MEMBERS. I bet in the cult he will unfortunately go down in infamy! Wow! HAAAARD SITUATION! But at the same time, as a person who also is partly being shunned, I didn’t know a person could use the cult shunning as a defense. Unfortunately, that man will have to be on suicide watch…

Your amazing shine bright beautiful so pleased your out 💖💖💖
