Date & Comments: Facinating site!! Just found it and have spent the last hour reading everything in it. I was an eager active member (attending most "Levitical" meetings in Bristol etc.). Kicked out in 1984 when I raised a question about local leader. Was married to Martha Pittman and had 5 children but lost all but Eric who was 12 years old. Had a vicious court fight to see Neil who was 8. Won but Pbs never respected court decision. Life is now wonderful! A lovely wife super church family and Neil ran away from the Pbs when he was 12. Isn't the Lord wonderful? Would like to hear from old friends.

City, Country: Chester England
Date & Comments: Born 1963 into Exclusive Brethren family in Birmingham England. Ex-communicated in 1981. Parents 1 brother and 1 sister have remained in the Exclusive Brethren. They have not initiated any communication with myself since 1981 and have expressed a wish that I refrain from contacting them. As a computer engineer I find their opinion of the machines I work with curious to say the least.

Date & Comments: 17 November 1997. Would be interested in discussing eccentricities and outright dangerousness of brethren propaganda having been part of the movement from a child up to almost 40 years of age before I was able to break free. But few brethren are open to an honest discussion.
Guest: Alistair Deayton
Guest E-mail: Alistair@Deayton.freeserve.co.uk
Date & Comments: A return visit to your site to see what's new. I managed to get a copy of Shut up Sarah found it easy to read and giving an accurate description of life in the Jims as I knew it. I note that Marion Field has written another book on the subject Don't call me Sister which is currently out of print but will be reprinted in Spring 1998. Re the references in the Correspondence to the attacks on FE Raven I am in two Internet mailing lists/Forums pb @ bro and many of the folks there are in meetings that originated with the divisions against Raven e.g. Kelly Stuart Glanton Tunbridge Wells. It may be that Anon has been in touch with folks from these assemblies. I certainly never heard of the teaching he ascribes to Raven until I came on the Internet. I look forward to hearing if this rumor of a major split is true. It's certainly been brewing for a while. Historically splits occurred every 10 years or so. It's almost 30 since Aberdeen.

Date & Comments: Many brethren (I among them) still hold exclusive principles to be
Scriptural principles but we recoil with horror over some of the things that
happened in one company of exclusive brethren. Please remember that we are not
all like that and we are ashamed of our link with it. We love all the Lord's
people and do not fancy ourselves to be better in any way than any other believer!

Guest E-mail: Dmxe@aol.com
Date & Comments: Great site. I am interested in hearing from anyone. Went to Bristol 10 times then Winnipeg for the Levitical Meetings. Our story is virtually unbelievable. Our four kids are all out now (one son still in) along with two of their spouses and four grandchildren. Is anyone interested in writing a comprehensive book? I've started with a rather large collection of ministry info notes etc. There must be a way to explain this to our families. May the Lord bless all who tackle all the spiritual, emotional and psychological ramifications of this life-altering experience. After almost 10 years we are still amazed at the impact.

Date & Comments: Thanks cousin for sharing this fascinating site with me. I have such mixed emotions as I continue to scroll and read the comments. It is truely a blessing that you all have been brought this far and had the courage prayer and true understanding of Jesus that enabled you to respond to the working of the Holy Spirit and not remain complacent in spite of the questions. I think that you have shown great courage and I thank you. I was not in the life however I lost the privilege of being able to know my seven first cousins and my aunt and uncle. Our family my grandmother was deeply impacted as you may know but God prevails and is awesome. The truth is the light
