Introduction
Lighthouse Global is a mentoring, coaching and counselling fraternity that has been researching how to overcome the obstacles to realising our God-given potential for nearly 20 years.
For 16 of those years we had almost no public criticism until many of us became Christians in 2020. This is when a small group of anti-Christ ex-Associates broke away and colluded with malignantly toxic family members and partners to persecute us.
Everything stated here is backed up with substantial evidence from the last 20 years through recordings, texts, emails & transcript evidence. Such evidence will also debunk the 143+ malicious falsehoods committed in the BBC’s hit piece, to be revealed in the David vs Goliath showdown.
We invite you to join us in being part of and building a groundswell of everyday people who value truth rather than the lies and deception we are subjected to on a daily basis. As everyday men and women we must stand together to protect our families and our livelihoods against predatory trolls, the mainstream media and governmental collusion and corruption.
Since the start of 2021 we have endured relentless assaults on us, our characters, our livelihoods and our families through an orchestrated smear campaign. There’s been thousands of hateful, defamatory comments on Reddit along with articles in the Daily Mail, a documythry by the BBC based on an 18-month corrupt investigation and a wave of baseless lies propagated in the British press. In the midst of online and media attacks, there were falsely-triggered government investigations at a time when we were quite literally fighting for our lives and livelihoods to continue our crucial and vital work at Lighthouse Global. At this time in mid-2022, we had two Associates attempt to take their own lives because of the stress involved.

Below is a list of the anti-Christ ex-Associates, malignantly toxic family members and partners and so-called ‘experts’ who have conspired and colluded against Lighthouse Global and its people. We pray for the repentance and redemption of all those listed and with hope for their regeneration:

4 Reasons Why The BBC Smeared Lighthouse
1. The People Who Have Attacked Lighthouse – Why This Could Happen To You…
1.1 The media lies against us were all started from just four anti-Christ ex-Associates who became bitter after leaving Lighthouse Global while demanding undue refunds on their mentorship programs. All had been involved with us for well over 2 years prior to this.
1.2 Some of these individuals fell in love with their mentor. When their advances were unrequited they vindictively turned on their mentors and Lighthouse Global.
1.3 They then sought out the controlling, malignantly toxic families, partners and siblings of many of those still at Lighthouse Global.
1.4 These families were jealous and resentful that they couldn’t control their (now adult) child or partner anymore. Some families feared that their horrific abuse of their own children (including sexual) would come out.
2. Criminal Trolling On Reddit
2.1 This small group of anti-Christ malignantly toxic family members, ex-Associates & spurned mentees actively sought each other out along with anyone else with grievances (no matter how false) against Lighthouse Global.
2.2 They proactively roped in more people online; some of them criminal, extremely unstable & dangerous, to attack us and even lead the charge.
2.3 Some of these people had no prior issue with Lighthouse Global, having never met us.
2.4 What followed was a daily flood of slurs and hate crimes on Reddit against the people of Lighthouse Global, our characters and mental health. These assaults were designed to cause as much pain and suffering as possible, despite us increasing police intervention against them.
2.5 They hurt and nearly destroyed many sensitive and honest souls here but for the grace of God. Two members of the team tried to take their own lives.
3. Using The Press & Government Institutions To Attempt To ‘Legitimise’ Their False Claims
3.1 The predatory trolls then sought to use the Daily Mail, the BBC and government institutions to legitimise their malicious campaign of constructive sabotage. They claimed our research community and fraternity was some kind of evil cult taking advantage of vulnerable people, which is provably false from evidence.
3.2 The Lighthouse assailants, hellbent on destroying us, then went to the BBC and other press to add the perception of ‘credibility’ to their assaults. The BBC then produced a sensationalised, biased documythry ‘A Very British Cult’ with over 143 falsehoods which Ofcom are investigating.
4. We Were Given No Live Right To Reply & No Proper Investigation Was Ever Done By The BBC
4.1 The BBC did not want us to know about their production or for us to be involved in it when we approached them, months before it aired. Following the broadcast, they denied us a live right to reply. Register to see this evidence.
4.2 The BBC only spoke to those who were trying to destroy us, not those who we have served tirelessly for years and who have benefited greatly.
4.3 The BBC did no serious investigation or fact-checking and deliberately ignored the offer of evidence until it was too late. They hung the responsibility for the ‘accusations’ in the programme on the shoulders of their sources to avoid being held accountable.
4.4 Despite being the most viciously attacked by the BBC and these predatory trolls, Paul Waugh has stated on numerous occasions publicly and privately that he would be prepared to meet our assailants to reconcile. He has also stated he would be there to help any ex-Associates if their safety was at risk.

This is a clear call for the Davids out there, to come together as a groundswell of Davids so that we can stand together against the abuse of the Goliaths of this world like the legacy media. To unite under one cause, to get the effect that we need in standing up to the Goliaths of this world, like the BBC and Insolvency Services and having them see and admit their lies and deception by making it right.
We are not out for revenge, we are seeking justice, but more than that, we want our abusers, our toxic trolls to realise and see their abuse towards Lighthouse and repent for it, for we want nothing more than for them to come to Christ. I am excited about David vs Goliath because what this will do is help countless people who are either going through something similar to what we are at Lighthouse or have been at some point in their lives. This is a learning experience that will revolutionise the way people see organisations like the BBC or the Insolvency Services and realise that they are not beyond holding them accountable. This is why we need a groundswell so that we don’t have to stand alone because we are not alone. We do and always will have Christ.
Thank you for putting this together, God bless us all.
If you take anything and everything at face value that is presented to us by the traditional legacy media giants such as the BBC, then I strongly recommend that you take a moment to consider the wisdom of taking such a stance. If, however, you have a strong desire to know and to uphold the truth and, most importantly, absolute truth, then the David vs. Goliath series will reveal what you are seeking. As a Christian, standing for Christ and for the Kingdom and His righteousness, is always going to attract those who oppose. What’s important here is that our lives and our livelihoods depend on the integrity of the truth and surely that is worth fighting for; standing against the tyranny of anti-truth and anti-Christian principles, values and virtues. Coming together in a groundswell of support for truth and reality is the right response for righteous reasons. Understand the cause at the root; understand the outgrowth and the effect emanating from it 🙏
This is such a clear overview stating the facts of why the BBC smeared Lighthouse Global. It shows how the BBC is more interested in a good story than publishing what is true and real. It’s also shocking to see how a few unhappy Ex-Associates demanding undue refunds can become predatory trolls and how malignantly toxic family members and others jump on the bandwagon of becoming trolls. It’s so crucial to uncover this kind of destructive behaviour and to show what happened. Trolling and abuse can happen to any individual and any organisation. We need to come together to protect ourselves from any form of abuse! We definitely need a groundswell of people who value truth to come together. God bless us all 🙏🏻
This is a really important post to help the world understand the background and the context for why we, as a small fraternity of 20-30 everyday conscientious people wanting to become better human beings, found ourselves at the subject of national press coverage portraying us as “the worst of humanity” (Source: The Guardian). The tragic reality is that we have seen the betrayal from false friends and members of our own families.
There’s so much the BBC missed in their corrupt investigation whilst they ‘investigating’. Why didn’t they report the suicide attempts BECAUSE of the smear campaign that they completely minimised as some soundbite? Why were the incidents of abuse inflicted by their own sources not reported? Watching, reading and listening to the media coverage was like learning about a different group of people, which was surreal to say the least!
What I have personally learnt from this experience is not just how much the mainstream media lies, but also how much people believe such bias, prejudice and deception (https://www.lighthousecommunity.global/post/the-war-against-clickbait-vultures-fighting-for-truth-authenticity).
The short account of what we’ve been through over the last 3 years seems like an extract from some thriller novel. However, this is no work of fiction. I and we have personally lived through this. We have seen and experienced firsthand the pain, the suffering and the loss that can come from being involved with the wrong people, even if they are those we grew up with.
The worst of humanity is to know that people who purport to care for you, end up turning on you and turning on you viciously because you want to grow to become a more righteous, loving and caring human being.
However, as I grow in my Christian faith I’ve learnt what it means to love, rather than hate and resent, my enemies. https://www.lighthousecommunity.global/post/what-does-it-mean-to-love-thy-enemy
“But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” (Matthew 5:44)
The experience of being persecuted and attacked as we became more Christian in word and deed has strengthened my faith more than the hundreds of hours of Sunday School teaching as a child. We pray for all involved and that we may all come closer to Christ through this experience.
I so needed to read this! Seeing the stepping stones of the hate, it’s revealing! This is what happens when you embrace the love of Christ it is fascinating how people resist it and start to hate you and the shining light of truth that Christ is. The hate that gave birth to the trolling, stems from the moment these ex-associates left which was when Christ entered. The hate for Him is masked in their requests for an undue refund because their life situation has changed. Until we brought our lord in, we’d had no other attacks like this. The BBC, The Daily Mail and other newspapers across the world are all an unfoldments of the anti-Christ agenda pervading. So as a force for good, fellow Christians and those that resonate with truth and reality, coming together is a must, we need Groundswell, yes for influence but just as much for safety and protection – those that genuinely seek good are attacked, you see this happening across social media. We’ve been attacked and are being attacked, so coming together is not a nice to have, it is crucial to progress. God bless you for writing this! x
I find it very sad that these kinds of situations exist, that there are people so invested in their lies and their stories about others and want to cause so much damage built up on lies. I do now find it also VERY fascinating the coincidence with many if not all coming to Christ and indeed building that relationship with Him increasingly.
Thank you to all who brought this together, just seeing the events and the unfolding of them here just shows how quickly things can and do escalate when left unchallenged and unchecked.
‘It only takes one match to burn a thousand trees’ It only takes one lie to break down lives. The likes of the BBC and their reddit sources must be challenged and held accountable for their actions, this can only be done through a groundswell. I hope and pray that there is reformation and those who have and are doing wrong will make those wrongs right
Thank you for bringing this together to help the new registrants to David and Goliath to gain an understanding of the main reasons this is happening so they can be under no illusion about it whatsoever. And this can be all backed up in evidence as you pointed out. There is no reason why anyone on that list ought to be engaged in such a heinous assault on innocent lives and their children on the basis of some comments on Reddit. I pray that they all turn from their wickedness (where they know what they are doing and do it anyway) and their evil (where they know what they are doing and they justify it in the name of “love” and “care”) and come to repentance in Jesus Christ. God’s justice is perfect and He will prevail and be glorified.
I’d like to make a correction, not just on the basis of Reddit comments – that applied to the toxic individuals who jumped on the bandwagon.
But there is NEVER any good reason to engage in destructive behaviour like this – every reason will be revenge over refunds, a spurned mentor/lover, a jealous or controlling family member or even getting 5 minutes of glory and praise because you’re on telly and the BBC are telling you you’re amazing.
Every single reason they claim for their actions is bankrupt on their own terms because if there was any honest intention, it would never have escalated to this.
Agreed Mel, if this is what we have endured at the hands of people who purported to “care for and love us”, wowww, what do those who they don’t love or care for, endure? Well, we can see that in their particular on vile treatment of Paul Waugh. The one person who has, through his love and rooting in Christ, done all he could to reconcile with these arrow slinging haters. God bless him.
Well said Stasia and yes, “love your enemies” is what we are commanded. But that is not how they have treated Paul Waugh, and he is not their enemy! God bless Paul and God bless our enemies who speak such evil against us. May they all come to Christ 🙏
It cannot be reiterated enough, this whole ordeal, this smear campaign, the predatory trolling of us, all started because of malignantly toxic families.
Every single one of us at Lighthouse has come from highly toxic or malignantly toxic birth families and have worked extensively through mentoring, coaching and counselling to overcome many internal and external barriers to God-given potential and as we have discovered and are discovering, many, many people need this crucial and vital work and support.
Way before these anti-Christ ex-associates and mentees, came onto the scene, we were already addressing the aforementioned external barriers, like birth parents, siblings, partners, who were perplexed by what we were doing and why, or bitter about the revelation that their “parenting” was not sufficient enough, so much so, we needed to seek help outside of them.
My birth mother was one, she could not understand why I called this fraternity here my family, she couldn’t understand why I was “going into the past” as she called it, to heal from childhood trauma and she most certainly did not support or back me in anyway.
Why is it that when this small number of bitter people got together, they were able to seek out fellow collaborators…well, because if it wasn’t the malignantly toxic birth families, it’s the malignantly toxic family of the BBC, or governmental agencies.
These types of families, do everything possible to preserve the brand of that family, no matter what lies they tell or who they hurt, no matter the damage they cause.
A classic case of this is Tania Francis, a solicitor, who subjected her half-sister Mel Francis, an associate of Lighthouse Global, to years of coercive control and harassment and felt entitled to continue her harassment, even after being warned, because she had the support of her fellow toxic members to preserve the Francis brand. Please read Mel’s account here:
https://www.lighthousecommunity.global/post/taking-tania-francis-of-hempsons-to-court-leaving-the-cult-of-my-coercive-controlling-family
These four succinct reasons (which hold a great deal of depth within them), lay out how your everyday person can, at the hands of the toxic family, find themselves being subjected to exceptionally cruel attacks, being falsely accused without recourse and being turned into pariahs, for example.
You can now watch this documythary (A Very British Cult) and realise that the four reasons given here are ACTUALLY why this has all happened and NOT what they claim in this desperate, shoddy documythary, backed by provably false and illogical claims, ridiculous and laughable sob stories, dramatic, soap opera-esque staged scenes and an outright evil, scornful, toxic femme foundation!
This is why david vs goliath and our groundswell is needed, we need the education, the preparation, the support system, the protection and the defence because as with us, families, children, were and can be hurt awfully through such evil as this.
God bless us all as we stand against tyranny and for justice….we know the David’s are there, they need to know they are not alone, rooted and united in Christ, we can take on any Goliath, in Christ’s name. 🙏🏾
So much deception described in one article!
Where the upright would see these four points as reasons NOT to run a program based on hearsay, lies, and a biased so-called “investigation”, the BBC sees all of the above as absolutely appropriate and fitting programming for their audience… Either that or they’re just in it for the clickbait ratings and revenue.
When it’s founded on unchecked falsehoods – despite access to all the evidence – whatever is left of the BBC’s pitiful character is revealed. The sheer lack of integrity is incredible, in line with the predatory trolls whose lies they are propagating.
May God help them to repent and reform 🙏🏼
Thank you for enlightening the reality of this situation. I tell you what, reading this, it’s astonishing because it’s plain to me that the BBC missed/ignored/tried to crush the real story here! And what a story. After sixteen years in existence, a secular leadership company’s core team became Christian! Not only that, but:
– They were attacked by bitter ex-clients
– Some of those ex-clients were angry they could not be romantically involved with their mentors!
– Many of the clients come from abusive families including sexual abuse!
– Refunds are claimed when Lighthouse bent over backwards and if any debt was owed, it was from the clients to the mentors!
And then… the government agencies are triggered to conduct a false investigation?!
BBC, what were you thinking? You missed the real precious truth and reality here! You could have shared something with the world that could have protected millions of children, and prevented many business owners and coaches from being unjustly attacked…
Ah that’s right, the BBC were not thinking – they deliberately carved a very biased, one-sided story to try and ruin the reputation of Lighthouse Global. https://davidvsgoliath.global/podcast-awards-open-letter/
The BBC definitely has a lot to answer for and I am very glad this truth is coming out now. The BBC have defended and protected child abusers and the politically, morally, and economically corrupt for decades now. God bless you all at Lighthouse Global, and may God protect you. The Battle belongs to Him 🙏
If ever there was a clear snapshot of how we have been maliciously attacked, publically smeard and hamstrung through ‘denial of service’ attacks by weaponised governement departments over the last few years…this is it!
Thank you for the clear summary of what has happened, by who and when. It is through God that the truth will come out and the people and organisations responnsible will held to account.
Incredibly well put together piece, laying out the facts of what has happened here and those we are hoping and praying will come to repentance for the wrongdoing they have committed, in the name of good – being evil. Thank you for taking a stand for us and we are, as all the Davids out there, who are willing to stand for the truth, despite, or with the pain and suffering that is endured through that, and together, with Christ, we grow stronger by his Grace and mercy. Thank you very much, God bless us all
