Get A Life Podcast Ep. 53 with guest Fergus Howard

Malcolm Rawlings and his young family were wrongly excommunicated in the 1970s. For 28 years, the family kept faith with Brethren doctrine, practicing separation and holding church meetings to the brethren calendar as a household. In Maple Creek, the brethren acknowledged their wrongdoing and the family, now with married children and with grandchildren, were readmitted to the fellowship in Maple Creek, Canada.
The reward for this extraordinary but misguided faithfulness? The families were bullied, shredded, divided between different continents, and some members were excommunicated all over again.
Fergus Howard, Malcolm’s grandson was caught in this turmoil from a young age. As an “outsider” in the Maple Creek congregation, he was subjected to horrific bullying. When his parents relocated to Worcester, UK, it got worse - much worse.
This is just the prologue to over a decade of physical, psychological, and spiritual abuse that Fergus suffered at the hands of the PBCC. Finally Fergus discovered a message that Bruce Hales had sent to his priest:
“He is thoroughly bad. Leave him to stew in his own juice”
Rejected by his family, the brethren, and the so called “Man of God”, jobless, penniless and stranded in a cheap hotel in a foreign country, Fergus rebuilt his life, from nothing, step by step.
The brethren claim to be prodigies of “care and compassion in action”. This harrowing account proves just how false and wilfully deceitful those words are.

What an articulate young man. That was a long podcast but I still wanted it to keep on going. It was riveting. Fergus communicates his story in such an engaging way. Wonderful to hear how he never gave up on his faith and ultimately found the girl of his dreams. Have a wonderful life, Fergus and Faith. ❤

Awesome podcast. Congrats Furgus, you made it!! You still have your faith in God and a wife and a life of your own and happiness. It was a tough battle for you, all you ever wanted was what you have now. Not achievable in the PBCC. I am very happy for and proud of you!

Fergus, you will find that the trauma you have experienced will fade over the years as you learn to accept, God gave you a brain to think for yourself with his guidance and help. I hope this does not sound to patronising. STOP blaming yourself, it's not your fault.

Sorry I misspelled your name Fergus.

Still true today,, scripture quotes are not so welcome
