I would be amazed (although not that surprised I guess!) if you could be a charity and publicly hate gays.

ery similar to the Watchtower relationship with Jehovah Witnesses, the Bible & Gospel Trust has an assured market within the Exclusive Brethren cult. Exclusive Brethren must purchase ‘ministry’, hymn books and bibles from this single source. As an EB teenager begins to earn money, the local EB Assembly ‘BGT Agent’ will approach the young person and let them know that they are expected to purchase the collected writings of all EB leaders, right back to J. N Darby and the mid 1800′s. It’s quite an investment – and the purchase is mandatory.
Oh my! They really are just a society of idiots. Thank goodness they're so exclusive!

"The Aberdeen Incident" July, 1970
Despite claims within the Exclusive Brethren that the following image is a 'fake' and has been 'manufactured by Peebs.Net', we reproduce it here as a scanned image direct from the newspaper article upon which it appeared in the Daily Express, London, UK a few days following The Aberdeen Incident. Not only is it genuine, it tells more of the Truth than most words we could reproduce...


"We are not ashamed"--says Big Jim
London Daily Express

Reunited ... Big Jim and Mrs. Ker
Big Jim Taylor put his arm round dark haired Mrs. Madeline Ker at his Brooklyn, New York, home tonight, kissed her lightly on the cheek and said: "I don't care what people say. She is a very, very pure person."

Then the balding, silver haired leader of the Close Brethren said: "We have never at any time done anything improper."

Resting on his lap was a large leather-bound bible, and in his right hand he held a tumbler half full of Scotch.

As we talked in the upstairs sitting room of his large detached house 32-yeard-old Mrs. Ker, mother of four, from Harrow, Middlesex, smiled up at him.

When I arrived at his home, Big Jim was sitting in an armchair wearing only underpants.

He said: "I suppose I had better put my pants on. But, quite honestly, I find it more comfortable just sitting in my underpants."

Big Jim seemed quite at ease, and quite oblivious of the sensation surrounding him and Mrs. Ker and her husband during their recent visit to Negg, Aberdeenshire.

Then it was claimed that Mrs. Ker had been found in bed with him when other members of the sect walked in.

It led to a furious row among members of the sect, and today Big Jim was busy sending off up to 8,000 letters "explaining" the events in Scotland.

Mrs. K and her husband Alan, a research chemist are staying with Big Jim and his wife Irene (60).

Today Mr. Ker was not at the house, and Mr. Taylor and Mrs. Ker explained that [he] had gone to Washington on business and would be back later.

Mr. Taylor, who claims that his hold on the leadership of the Brethren is still unchallenged, said: "Absolutely nothing happened in that bedroom that Mrs. Ker and I are ashamed about.

"It is true she was laying under the sheet on the same bed as myself. But I was on one side of the bed, and she was on the other."

Whose clothes were on the floor?

Said he: "Some of the clothes were mine. I don't know who the other clothes belonged to." "I didn't ask her to lie under the sheet. Mrs. K chose to lie under it of her own free will. "Certainly nothing improper happened, and it is wrong to say that she was naked."

I thought about mentioning it at the time but decided not to bother, but one wonders whether these people are our exclusive neighbours.

Perhaps you could voice any concerns to them - in a clean and dignified manner, we're not monsters.

They're more likely to be JW one would've thought but there's only one way to find out.

A lot of the Brethren kids went to Oakridge Primary school when I worked there. Apparently they are allowed to go to primary school but then must be taught at home ,by their own kind, as they aren't allowed to mix with other faiths in our secondary schools.

They were taken out of school at lunch time as they weren't allowed to eat in the company of us normal folk!

I hate the nutters :mad: .......they class themselves as being far superior to anyone else . If they think themselves too good to mix with anyone else they should be kicked out of the primary schools as well!

On the contrary, they should be forced to attend high schools so that their children at least get a choice of whether or not to waste their entire lives!

Well said. If they want to live in the UK and take benefit from it then they should be part of it. If not there are plenty of places where they can go but I doubt if they will be as accommodating.

TBH I have enough issues with faith schools, but faith home schooling? How much does that cost to administer, and make sure they actually get qualifications etc? Really shouldn't be allowed, 'religious reasons' should never be allowed to interfere with standard practice.

If someone ran one of the weirdos over, would they go to a hospital and be treated by non-brethren doctors? If someone set fire to their house, would they let non-brethren firemen put it out? If someone killed their children, would they call the non-brethren police? Course they bloody would! Its just using God when it suits you, no different from vegetarians that eat fish. To be perfectly honest why the feck are they living in towns in the first place, they should be on some desolate rock off the Scottish coast where they don't have to run into people like us. To put it bluntly integrate or **** off.

On a side note I got stopped whilst talking to my partner on the phone the other day by some young women. I thought they wanted directions, but no they wanted to talk about god. I was on the damn phone FFS! I said sorry, I'm a definite atheist (I'm not actually, I'm most definitely agnostic, but the second someone tries to push that crap on me I turn atheist), but they carried on. I had to walk off and carry on my conversation elsewhere.

Anyway, I have cider now so shall relax.......

I understand that if a child has ever been to a school then Ofsted remain involved throughout, but if they never go to school, then you can do what you like.
