I have been "out" for 23 years. At the time of that depart-
ure, I had not even one person to talk to about the whole
situation I knew things were wrong-but too unsure about
what actually was wrong. Three of my four children are
in the EB, one-Oxbow, one-Gothenburg, one-Omaha. Naturally,
I haven/t seen my daughters in 23 years.but I suppose there
still is help. God has been so good to me, and I think
this site is tremendous.
I stated that I didn't have one person to talk to. That really isn't quite true, but it is that they didn't understand how little I knew about the organization. Since I was a single Mother and there was no Father to be in on the conversations amongst the men, alot passed me by. But how happy to be freed of all that life.

Dear brother you have done a good job on this site and I am sure glad to find something
with a familiar tone. We left in 1970 but remained with a group of EBs until 1994 when
we went to meet with OBs. Where we are now reminds me of the days of my youth in
Gothenburg, Ne. and the meeting there before so much unbiblical stuff was enforced.
Would like to converse about feelings toward our OB as they seem to have good doctrine
(at least where we fellowship).
Affectionately in Christ,
CWT

Currently I am visiting my brother Nicholas Wilson in Vancouver and have been skiing at Whistler
and Blackcombe with him and Eric Huffey for the past few days in glorious sunshine. I was here in
1969, 1981, 1995 (for Nicholas's graduation from Regent College with a Master's Degree in Divinity
- yes a far cry from his former profession of growing lettuce, cumcumbers and tomatoes in Thanet.
In 1973 I married the great granddaughter of JT and daughter of Bill Petersen. Margaret and I have two children, Julia who was 23 on 12th April and who gave birth to a baby boy the following day on 13th April. He is to be known as "DJ" - David James Andrews. The next day was our 26th wedding anniversary. We have a son, Charles Guy Wilson, who was born in Bermuda on 9th November, 1978 when we lived there. We were there from 1977 until the end of the next decade - 12 years plus and had a wonderful time meeting lots of very interesting people both in and without the Christian community. Charlie (as he now prefers to be known) is reading Biblical Studies along with Hebrew, Greek and German at Sheffiel University. He has just over two years to go and is loving it there.
Needless to say, it is the genius, Eric Huffey, who has encouraged me to put pen to paper on this website which was his idea. Well done Eric. You have put hundreds of us in touch with others whose names we have not heard for thirty or forty years.
Thank you for enabling so many to put pen to paper in this way.

I have just recently broken up with my boyfriend. He ran away from his family after living in the
Brethren for 17 years of his life. He treated me badly but I found this site and thankyou becuase
it has given me an insight to why he treated me in this way, I understand him more with what he
has been through and I'll continually pray that his family will follow in his footsteps and leave EB.

I grew up in a brethren church, as did my father before me and so on. I heard a lot of good biblical
teaching while I was there and even enjoyed the intamacy of the small church. It breaks my heart to
know that some of the brethren have gotten so caught up in legalism that they have forgotten what the
scrptures really said. If they would go back and really study the book of Galations like Martin Luther
did they would see the legalism they are bogged down in. The revelations in this book freed Martin
Luther to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ as it was meant to be. The Gospel is about the finished work
of Jesus Christ on the cross. It is about the ressurection of the Son of God. It is about the freedom to
know that there is nothing WE can do to get to heaven. Jesus paid it ALL. Always remember that God
loved us ALL so much that he allowed his Son to pay OUR price. Feel free to contact me by email anytime
if you would like to discuss this further.
Just a short note to correct a mistake that I found on my entry which is that we left the EB's in 1996 and not in 1976 as was first written in the quest book Looking foward to hearing from any dear friends whom we miss and would like to get in touch with, Thanks to for this wonderful site that has made this possible, keep up the good work everyone.

I was born in Baltimore and raised in the Exclusive Brethren meeting there. My maiden name was
Barbara Waskey. I watched the movie Oscar and Lucinda last night and it prompted me to search
the web for more information on the Plymouth Brethren. I was amazed to find several websites on
the subject, and am extremely curious about Peter Carey's background, since it was obvious that
he had done his research on the Brethren.

FOR THIS SITE. I did suggest to Dick in the early days that he start a list of ex members. But if
any of you have received help from this site, renewed a friendship, brought back a memory; you
owe a HUGE debt to Dick Wyman. It has been his effort, time and money, that instigated this site

I have always been fascinated by what 'outsiders' thought of our heritage. When part of the
Brethren, we were individually members of the Beloved, collectively forming the Bride. Titles
and labels were unimportant to us - we knew who we were - we owned the Light, we were
the Way and the Truth ... no-one came to God except through us!
It was not until I was well clear of the cult that I heard our title - we were the Exclusive or Closed Brethren.
And now, two days ago, I heard another name that frankly had me in stitches. A colleague, a Godly man, nodded sagely when I shared of my childhood in the EB's:
"Ah yes!" he murmured, "I have indeed heard of The Frozen Chosen ..."

As a person who was raised in the baptist churches, I want to say that I am glad
that I found fellowship with the brethren assemblies and therefore discovered NT
church principles. Now I firmly believe that, for the most part, baptist doctrine is
bible doctrine and the influence and current day ministries of primarily the fundamentalist,
independent baptists is positive. However, the brethren are much closer to the NT
when it comes to the purpose of the church, organization, worship, leadership, etc.
I issue a plea for the continuance and rising up of independent, fundamental, brethren
assemblies that are holding to brethren and NT church distinctives. I want to especially
point to the Ross Bible Chapel in Ross, Ohio and to the Community Bible Chapel in
Hico, Texas as model brethren assemblies and ministries. Everybody should access
the website http://www.cnview.com to see an excellent
brethren assembly and ministry in progress.

We were both at least the third generation with the Taylor meeting. In the 1960's we became increasingly aware that error had crept in and finally left in about 1965. We met with others who left about the same time as we did, but one by one through deaths we became too small to carry on with the breaking of bread, and felt that we needed to find other Christians.
We did find a very fundamental Baptist Church where we get rich ministry and experience much love among the Lord's people. One of the real surprises was that there are many devout Christians other than EB's.
We now have a daughter and son-in-law and four beautiful grandchildren.
The Lord has blessed us much and our regret is that we didn't leave the Taylor meeting much earlier when we first became aware of the error.
We still feel love for many still caught in the system, but have enjoyed renewing contact with other guests whom we remember from years past.
Will be happy to hear from any who remember us.

Interested in hearing from anyone who had a similar reaction to mine. All the religious teachings of my parents[Frank and Audrey] went out the window in 1969 when I left this cult. Furthermore I slammed the window shut,locked it and pulled down the blinds on any other kind of spiritualty. If your reaction was similarly vehement...talk to me!

I recently discovered this site. What a brilliant idea, Good work!
I left the closed brethren in 1980 over the issue of higher education. Nobody in a million years is ever going to convince me that there is something un-Christian or otherwise wrong about striving to get a decent education. Since I left I see they have sunk to new levels of depravity. When they can't have a garage door opener because radio waves are somehow 'evil' one has to question their sanity. I just can't understand how otherwise intelligent people will accept this foolishness.
I hope this thing doesn't end in tragedy like Waco Texas or Jones Town Guyana.

Comming out of the Apartheid era has been a similar experience to leaving the Exclusives. We have had
to learn tolerance for people with other cultures and (non-Christian) religions; after living in a protected
and globally isolated enviroment, we are now exposed to pornography, legal gambling, legal abortion,
drug trafficing etc. Instead of compromising our standards, it has made us value them and fight to maintain them.
By the way as far as I know I was never "withdrawn from"! When I left at 19, they said I was too young to know my own mind and I should be "shrunk from"

Just signing on again, to indicate my new email address.
Read C.W. Cooper article on Christian Unity and Fellowship
for a very current and prophetic word for us all. It's on
Gordon Rainbow's My Brethren site. "Blinded by Might" by
Cal Thomas on the Moral Majority is very interesting read,
