I was kicked out 7 years ago and when I read the feelings
expressed by those who have been through the ordeal I can just
feel their initial mental agony and confusion. There is no
greater way to rule human beings than to threaten their
families and keep them ignorant about it by brain washing. I
have personally met and spoken with Mr.Hales and the initial
feeling you get is that he sees right through you. However
about 18 months ago I came into contact with a gentleman who
confirms that it has been a personal practise of his (JSH) from
when he was very young to look at the person he is in contact
with in that cold austere way and maybe perfected when he was
in the Army. Call it love if you like I draw my own
conclusions. There is so much to say on this subject that I
could write a book.

Am looking for information about 1 of my sisters, Celia who

talk to anyone that has left and is having a 'difficult' time
adjusting. I have no interest in joining another church as of

I am visiting again with a bit of history. My mother is Elsie
Mulligan, of the Fresno Mulligans. My grandparents came to know
the brethern and had many edvangelists/speakers stay at the
farm house in Fresno. My father was Arthur Gattey (his family
was Gertrude Taylor of Leeds and the Gattey's of London area).
We went to a closed meeting in Fresno, when we moved to Taft we
worshiped at the Baptist church after the one other brethren
family we worshiped with departed. We came to Pomona to a
Gospel Hall and stayed there until we moved to Claremont Gospel
Chapel, where my mother and I still attend church. My father
was "read out" in the early 1950s due to an adultrus
relationship but my mother moved us all to a small independent
community church. I do not know how many remember either the
Mulligans or the Gatteys but thought I would add this.

I met with the Local Churches under Witness Lee's ministry from
1975-1989. W Lee holds a strong teaching that God uses one man
at a time.He felt after W Nee's departure, that he was that
man: God's deputy authority, the oracle of God, the
commander-in-cheif, etc.After reading your many articles, I see
those who followed Taylor held a similar teaching. Am I
right?

My father, Prof. Malcolm Waldron, along with my mother
Josephine and us kids were kicked out of the Oxford assembly in
1960 because a brother called David Johannson ( a student at
Balliol College ) had no letter of accommodation, and the
leading brother would not allow him to brwak bread. Since
everyone knew his family was a leading family in the Melbourne
Assembly my father and over a third of the others protested and
were kicked out. We subsequently discovered that theletter had
been sent and received, but that the man didn't like David and
tried to block him!! My great great great great grandfather was
probably converted by JND in County Mayo in 1827! Prauise God I
still am an active Christian. I am in touch with many exes. My
relatives are Basses and Burrs in London, Rugby, etc.

I have no family connection with the exclusive brethren. I have
been helping in my children's primary school with IT and we
have some brethren children in the class. They are allowed to
watch all that is going on as long as they don't use the
machine themselves. This includes using the Internet which we
looked at in groups. I decided to find out more as I was very
aware that one false move on my part may end up with them being
withdrawn from IT altogether. If they were to leave the
brethren the knowledge of IT would be so valuable to them so I
didn't want to jeapordise this. The meeting hall is at the end
of my road and I wish there was some way of saying 'if you do
decide to leave come to us we would love to help you out'. We
are christians and have friends at church who are ex brethren
and we have heard from them what a wrench it can be to
leave.

Hello to Everyone,
My maiden name was Peters and I grew up in deaf family. I left the brethren in 1973. My parents Ken and Joan Peters (now deceased) and my 3 sisters (one was deceased) are still involved in the fellowship but some of their children are still in and others are out. My 4 brothers (one now deceased) and I have not been in fellowship since 1972/1973. I have been married to Fernando Saulle (never in fellowship and he was born in Italy before he and his family were migrated to Australia about 45 years ago) and we have one daughter Winsome 12 and one son Gene 10. We live in Dandenong (one of suburb in Melbourne). I am very interesting to search on the net about Exclusive Brethren and brings me back to old memories and it is great to be freedom from the bondage of man made rules without according to the Scriptures. Please feel free to contact me if anyone can remember.

My father (John Stollery) was raised in Summit NJ with the Brethren. Fortunately for my three brothers and myself, he was kicked out when he married my mother in 1954.He never spoke about his childhood and we never knew our grandparents. We also hav have one aunt and five cousins that we will also never know becusse of this cult. I cannot believe that you people call yourself Christians. The way this system divides families is a shame. The best thing that may father ever did was to be baptized Catholic in 1985. He died in 1996 and enjoyed a Christian mass of the Resurrection. I know that he is at peace and not for one minute regrets this decision. Jesus Christ was ever-present in our home growing up and resides in us today.

I am prompted to sign on as the next logical step to visiting a reunion here
in my home city. As I approached the "Hall" where the gathering was being
held I saw two women outside and had an eerie flashback to fellowship meetings
of the past! I very nearly jumped back on my bike there and then! I knew a
few people as it turned out, and the biggest surprise was someone who knew
me from a visit to Germany over 30 years ago! Since this message is going
into oblivion and I cannot see what I have written I will not add too much
more except to say, Canada gave me the physical and emotional distance to
work through many of my feelings about the past. I was mightily surprised
at my reaction at confronting real live Ex PB's! Probably there will be
more to add one day.

I was 13 at the time of the Aberdeen split when my parents came out. In the years that followed I witnessed
so many disillusioned brethren running from all forms of Christian fellowship and ultimately from Christ himself
in reaction to the revealed wickedness of those we had looked up to as leaders and exemplars of the faith. But
the Author and Finisher never failed us ! Don't run from Him ! He was working all things together for our good,
teaching us hard lessons so that we may be more like Him. Don't look up to men. Look up to the One who
humbled Himself. And don't let's position ourselves to be looked up to, as so many did in the "system". We
will only fall.

An avid reader and author of two books (both compilations): "Secrets to Spiritual Power: from the selected
writings of Watchman Nee," and "Gleanings from Robert Govett." While presently working on a compilation
of Darby's "Synopsis of the Bible," I am thoroughly enjoying reading through F.W. Grants Numerical Bible.
The Word takes on a richness of new life and meaning through an understanding of the hidden meanings of
the types, shadows, and symbolism of Scripture. The Brethren, and certain others familiar with them, excelled
in this area of Scriptural study. It is meat through which the soul can be strengthened and sustained.

Hi-I came out of the Exclusives three and a half years ago with 7 of my 8 children. My concern is for the young
people who leave on their own. Could we establish some kind of "safe house" where these unexperienced
innocents can get on their feet without stumbling into the many pitfalls so many of us have. I do not have my

Hearing about Jim Taylor etc reminded me of a verse in the Bible,"...many shall follow out their destructive ways, because
of whom the way of the truth shall be evil spoken of" 2 Peter 2.2
I was never in the Exclusive Brethren. My dad was among Exclusive Brethren 50 years ago in Bermuda and Barbados; H.O. Emptage was a prominent leader in those days. Dad is 86 and is not interested in religion. His was a bad experience.
I was saved in connection with an Independent Fundamental Baptist Church. I migrated into the "tight" Open (Gospel Hall) Brethren for 10 years. I am now amongst the so-called re-united brethren, a mixture of Kelly Brethren and others. The fellowship is very healthy from a doctrinal vantagepoint. Fellowship that I have enjoyed amongst the assemblies has been very sweet. I can thoroughly commend and recommend the fellowship of brethren in which we meet to any Christian without any reservations. If I can help any Christian in any way, it is my greatest joy so to do.

Hi. I know what you're taking about and I'm still trying to get used to this (evil machine)????
It's all so crazy what they think inside and it doesn't look to be changing all that much. A friend came out the other day and he was going really well untill we were spyed on untill we left and then they kidnapped him to go home
I'm out for a year tomorrow and it seems to have been year of my life. I have learn so much about Jesus that I had not learned in the 15 years inside and I even spent a year away from my parents living with an uncle because my parent were withdrawn from. I thought it was really bad until I got to the other side one cold lonely and cracked a tinning. My parrents were so pleased to see me and I was so happy I stayed awake for 36 hours straight.

We left the E.B. in 1975 at which time we lived in Kings Lynn in England. We then moved away from England in 1980 and
the last 19 years have lived in various countries, mostly in S.E. Asia, before finally settling in Vienna. On our travels, we had
4 lovely children, 2 of which still live with us, and 2 are studying in England. It's so interesting to see so many names on this
Web site from the past.

Shut up in 1973. Would love to hear from any old friends, so many names on the guest book we either knew
or knew their relatives.

I grew up in the peebs and went to the Aberdeen Rd Boronia Malvern and Boronia meetings I was
ejected in 73 aged 16. I think all of my family except one are still in. It would
be great to hear from anyone I grew up with. I remember the Peters and Hornzy families well.
Reading through the guest book brought back memories good and bad.

My wife and I have become computer literate this year (1999).This website tells a saddening, but also an
enouraging saga of those of us who have been disentangled from Exclusivism. In due course I hope to put
my contribution on the web. All of our stories are different in detail, but I think all of us give thanks to our
Almighty God for his deliverance, often in unexpected ways.
