A mad man can do a lot of damage before people finally say – He is mad! Look at King George. Which illustrates my point perfectly. The higher up the mad man – the harder it is to get people to form a consensus and do something about them. Do it individually and you will get your head lopped off. Do it as a group and you depose the nutter –generally without a whimper.
I refer of course to Bruce Hales. Head nutter of the poor Exclusive Brethren. Don’t rail at me for telling you so. This came from an insider. A Peeb laying low and pondering on the degradation of everything Peeb in recent times. He today (and I wonder how many like him) just shakes his head when he sees the insulting behaviour of this man. The sheer contempt he holds his Brethren in. Given that he lives off them –this is pretty insulting on every level ignoring the one that says he is supposed to be their primary religious example.
Dear Brethren – particularly those of you who are old enough to remember his father – this is nothing new with the Hales clan. His father John was also a bit of a nutter – reliant we were told on massive doses of anti-depressants for much of his latter life. When a man needs chemicals to restore a balance in his brain and life…..you have to sit up and ask the odd question.
The current Hales –his son –also requires things to get through each and every day including large doses of high alcohol content liquor. Booze is a mind-altering substance. It is something that helps make the pain go away. Although why Bruce has any pain is beyond me unless it is trying to make sense of all the balls he has in the air at any one time. We –out here- have often alluded to the fact that this man is out of his depth spiritually and this is proven in his ministry. Trust me folks- it is not good. They are the ramblings of a man with delusions of indoctrination. According to our insider – he frequently loses his place….can’t find stuff in the bible…and forgets what he said five minutes beforehand. All classic signs of a mind out of control.
Then there are the direct and more blatant insults. Like telling the Brethren to be at a place by a particular time and then making them wait for the best part of an hour before he actually turns up. And here is the bit where you can feel the palpability of what he is saying. There they are – having turned up in plenty of time to be seated before the great one arrives. He then keeps them waiting for nearly an hour before a dramatic silence falls over the church as he is ushered in – they stand as though before a monarch while he shuffles down the aisle– and he sits ready to dispense his harsh put downs on the rabble that are the Brethren. How appalling! Who in their right mind would put up with such insulting behaviour?
Perhaps the thing that is even more abhorrent is his separatist attitude. He does not mingle with the Brethren. He makes sure that people are put on the end of rows so that any untoward contact or comment is suppressed. Heavens – even the Archbishop of Canterbury shakes every parishioner’s hand at the end of every service at the door as they leave. What makes Hales so bloody special that he feels he can treat people like this? Delusion dear friends. Bloody minded delusion. The man is a nutcase. Pure and simple. Sadly not nutty enough that he has failed to maximise every red cent out of his congregation that he can. Apparently, as he waddles out of the meeting before anyone is allowed to leave – he shouts out put downs to various members of the assembled throng.
Then we have the ‘class system’, which from all accounts is worse than ever before. Where poorer Brethren are treated like lepers. They do not contribute as much to the Hales cause and are therefore left languishing in the rear rows unnoticed and unappreciated. What pigs these Hales are!
Then there is this obsession with money. The Hales were always fixated with folding and now it has become manic. The underpinning emphasis of every communication. Madness. And nothing to do with why they are there in the first place. How many of these sorts of men have to be exposed before someone wakes up here? We do have a dozens of examples in America to witness from. Same M.O. folks. Trust me on this.
Then we have the extreme paranoia. Make that chronic paranoia. Hales won’t allow himself to be photographed. In the photo book on Sydney Brethren – he does not appear. Why? Who knows? He thinks he is a prime target. From what nobody knows. Maybe terrorists. No one I know wants to hurt the bloke. Ask him some questions in the faint hope of getting a coherent answer maybe. He couples this with his private jets, his blacked out chauffeur driven vehicles, his special marquees to alight and disembark from – his need to have no actual contact with anyone except his closest family and henchmen. Paranoia on a scale that is unprecedented. It’s also called madness.
Then we have utterances from him to douse any question of drinking to excess. Which apparently he does daily. He says -“The Lord would never allow me to be drunk.” Well it’s not the Lord who is doing the drinking here Bruce! It’s you- you silly bugger! Hard liquor is bad for you. It rots your liver and impedes your senses. Which is why only hardened drinkers drink the stuff. I have not touched a drop since I left the Brethren. Never felt better!
Once Bruce you only had opposers on the outside. People whom your predecessors dealt with wrongly or badly. Now you have them within. People may be standing in mock reverence as you arrive – but inwardly they are shaking their heads in disbelief at your arrogance and antics.
As leaders go – the Hales more than most – have everything to be ashamed of. They are not magnanimous. They are not honest. They are flawed in the extreme. They do crave for things that normal Christians shouldn’t. They are cruel. They are wrong. They are unChristian. How many reasons do you want dear Brethren to get rid of this monstrous injustice from your midst?
He’s a drunk.
He’s paranoid to the point of delusion.
He’s greedy.
He’s dishonest.
He’s bloody rude.
He’s deluded.
He’s self-absorbed.
He only wants your money.
He only wants complete submission.
He only wants to glorify his own family.
He’s a nutter!
Simple.
Get rid of him. Get back to going to church and worshipping God. Stop wasting your money on every latest whim. Be yourselves. God made you all individuals. Start acting like individuals. See the writing on the wall.
Give this madman the bullet!
