Produced by members of the ex brethren community, the podcasts give an enlightening and sometimes difficult insight in to being part of the cult. A must watch to understand what really happens inside this coercive cult.
Open & Candid are proactive in growing awareness of the Plymouth Brethren. We run campaigns to report issues to government organisations, we back campaigns to object to planning applications, we highlight hypocrisy for charities & organisations that use and promote the activities of the Rapid Relief Team (RRT), the PR function of the brethren.
Led by Sydney based businessman Bruce Hales, the exclusive Plymouth Brethren Christian Church is a tiny sect, with circa 50,000 members worldwide. Located in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, United States and Canada. They also have a small number of followers in Argentina, The Caribbean, France, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Denmark, Netherlands & Sweden. Their history dates back to the early 19th century. Fracturing a number of times. This is the Exclusive Branch of the Plymouth Brethren.
Since 2020, Open & Candid have completed a number of investigations and carried out a large amount of research into the brethren. We share all our findings.
We are always available to support media enquiries. We can provide background information on the history, financials, businesses, charities, lobbying, elections, contracts, abuse and have a produced a number of reports to assist Journalists and TV researchers.
Leaving the brethren is extremely difficult, the brethren have control on so many aspects of day to day life of their members, leaving often means giving up family, work and homes. We provide a range of support services for both people looking to leave the brethren and services to support people who have left the brethren.
