Lighthouse Daily – 21st July 2026…


Good day, fellow citizens and brothers and sisters in Christ.

Today’s update is about an 8-minute read with an additional short audio from Paul S. Waugh.

In this update:

  • Understanding Our True “Religion”
  • Profiling Fake Whistleblower “Erin” and Her Family
  • Are You Prepared To Be Smeared?

1. Our Personal, Interpersonal & Global Commission from Christ: The Problems We Face and Solutions Needed

Understanding Our True “Religion”

“You shall not worship their gods, you shall not serve them, and you shall not do according to their deeds; but you shall utterly pull them down and shatter their sacred pillars in pieces.” — Exodus 23:24

Yesterday we posed several questions under one: what is actually most important to you in your life? This is demonstrated by where we invest our thoughts, our energy, our time, our money, etc., not what we think is most important, and not what we identify as on a census poll.

Today, we have a very powerful, short insight from Paul S. Waugh to help us answer this question.

Please see the article below:

👉 What Is Truly Most Important in Your Life? By Paul S. Waugh

This is a fascinating and very revealing insight, only for those who actually want to know the inconvenient truth about themselves!

2. Targeted from Within: The Greatest Threats to the Body of Christ from Inside

Profiling Fake Whistleblower “Erin” and Her Family

“An evildoer gives heed to lips of wickedness; a liar gives ear to a destructive tongue.” — Proverbs 17:4

One of THE most disturbing cases we have ever encountered at Lighthouse Global, for a number of reasons, and one that the BBC has been instrumental in enflaming, is the case of “Erin”. This is a pseudonym; her real name has been hidden because she was the victim of gross and heinous incestual sexual abuse as a child.

Erin’s case closely reflects the pattern Dr Jennifer Freyd calls DARVO1: Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender.

Rather than confronting the grave childhood abuse Erin disclosed, her parents denied and minimised its reality, then attacked the people helping her face it—above all Paul S. Waugh and Lighthouse Global.

The roles were then reversed: those who had supported Erin’s healing (Paul and Lighthouse) were recast as the alleged wrongdoers, while those whose conduct and failures required scrutiny were presented as victims.

The following is an evidence-led description of a recognisable defensive pattern: deflect responsibility, discredit the truth-teller and their supporters, and manufacture a false public narrative in which accountability itself becomes the supposed abuse.

  • Raped by her step-brother as a child: At 13, Erin was repeatedly raped by her 17-year-old step-brother as he returned home from drunken nights with his friend.

  • Deeply disturbing cover-up of abuse by Erin’s parents: Her parents were listening in the room next door and conspired to cover up this heinous criminal abuse. Her step-mother said she thought they were being “naughty teenagers”, when, as stated by Erin, she was pre pubescent.

  • Sexual predators run in the family: In addition to her step-brother, Erin’s extended family contained rapists and paedophiles, which she was exposed to throughout her life. Testament to her parents’ utter evil and complete neglect and heinous abuse of their extremely vulnerable daughter.

  • Coercive control by her parents: Erin’s abusive family were coercively controlling her well into her adult years, in order to stop this heinous abuse coming to light. Her mother in particular was always attacking Erin and blamed her for everything that was wrong with her mother’s life.

  • Shocking denial of abuse as an adult: When Erin began to confront her step-father on the heinous abuse she endured, his response was “ Time heals”.

  • Evidence proving parental abuse of Erin: We have numerous audio and written messages as proof of this, which we will be releasing soon.

  • Receiving help from Lighthouse Global: Erin was desperate to build a new life and start afresh. She received an enormous amount of pro bono support from her mentor, Paul S. Waugh and other Associates at Lighthouse. She tried to escape her family and dreaded spending any time with her parents.
  • She was so desperate to get away from them that she escaped to another country for a decade, long before coming to Lighthouse. She was yearning to go back and build her life away from them.

  • Financial deception with the BBC: Erin lied to the BBC, claiming she was extorted financially, including encouraging her to sell her house. This is completely false and an act of dark fantasy. In a conversation with Erin, Paul directly expresses his sincere hope that she doesn’t sell her house, as she needs that security.
  • We have thousands of pages and thousands of hours of recorded evidence completely refuting all allegations of financial extortion, including her saying to her father that she was not given any financial advice by her mentor, nor was she encouraged to sell her house by anyone at Lighthouse.

  • BBC fake news exposed: As with Jeffrey Leigh-Jones, the BBC have falsely depicted Lighthouse as having financially scammed her. Yet this accusation was disregarded by the Insolvency Service.
  • This smear is palpably and provably false. We have hundreds of pages of full material evidence which we will be releasing soon! The police have looked at all of these false allegations and know they are all fake and therefore a waste of public resources.

  • Erin’s family catalysed a smear and hate campaign against Lighthouse: Her family were the leading predatory trolls behind setting up an anti-Lighthouse website as part of a smear and hate campaign on us, to try and cover up their diabolical abuse of her.

  • Racist and deceptive step-father: He hired a private investigator to deliberately target three Lighthouse Associates of Indian origin as part of his own racist and hateful agenda. He found absolutely zero evidence of any wrongdoing.
  • Again, this was an attempt to smear with malicious falsehoods to cover up their own criminality. Erin, herself, completely refuted the step-father’s allegations against Lighthouse, which we will be sharing the full evidence for.

  • Encouraged to receive independent counselling: When Erin decided, of her own accord, she needed to confront her parents once and for all about all of her childhood abuse, Paul S. Waugh intervened because she was exhausting herself with so much stress. He recommended that she ought to be very cautious with confronting her parents.
  • In fact, he was concerned that they might try to physically harm her to prevent the truth of the incestuous rape being revealed. Paul encouraged her to seek independent counselling from a specialist outside of Lighthouse to help her prepare maturely for such a confrontation, which she did.

  • BBC and Erin perverting the public record about her abuse: Erin and the BBC twisted the facts to insinuate (without any evidence because there isn’t any) that Paul was somehow obsessed with speaking about her abuse. This is not only absurd, but an outrageous, slanderous, malicious falsehood.
  • As made clear above, Paul recognised she needed very specialist help that was not his remit, and that it would have been entirely inappropriate for him to therefore advise her accordingly.

  • Erin knew her parents were the real abusers: In one of her final mentorship sessions where Erin was fraught with fear and terror from her parents, she stated she needed to leave Lighthouse Global for her own health and safety, stating very clearly “it’s not Lighthouse. It’s not you guys, it’s my parents”.

  • Parental Betrayal Trauma: This was not merely a failure of parenting; it was parental betrayal and secondary victimisation—minimising grave sexual abuse, failing to protect a vulnerable child, and compounding the original trauma through denial and concealment.

  • The tragic coercion to sell out to the BBC: Eventually her own family coerced her through fear and terror to lie about Lighthouse Global and hide their own dark, disgusting secrets.

  • This is the norm, not the exception: Fundamentally, parents who knowingly and wilfully abuse or enable abuse of their own child will often scapegoat someone else, absconding themselves completely of any blame.
  • A therapist supporting a grown child to heal, a health professional helping someone to heal from physical childhood trauma, or a mentor such as Paul S. Waugh and those at Lighthouse Global, being blamed, targeted, smeared and viciously attacked to cover up the tragic and horrifying abuse of children by their own families.

One of the most chilling realities about Erin’s case is how the BBC literally conspired to cover up heinous incestuous rape of her as a child.

Why would they do that?

It’s who the BBC are. They cover for their own abusers, just as they did with Jimmy Savile and are now doing with the UK child rape gangs by deliberately not reporting on them.

3. Targeted from the Outside: How The Establishment Persecutes us Christians

Are You Prepared To Be Smeared?

“A dishonest man spreads strife, and a whisperer separates close friends.” — Proverbs 16:28

If someone close to you spread malicious and destructive lies about you—carefully designed to sound credible and believable—to everyone important to you, and potentially the whole world, would you be ready? Would you know how to respond before the damage destroyed you?

Unless you have witnessed it happen to someone close to you, or received wise counsel before a crisis arrives, you may never have even considered how you would respond.

Lighthouse Global has endured this reality since early 2021 – having been smeared to millions on a global scale through the mainstream media. But the danger is not confined to us.

Being smeared is a very real and imminent threat to us all.

Reputational attacks can happen to anyone: a child targeted at school, a family subjected to online gossip, a professional facing false allegations, or a public figure turned into a caricature for mass consumption by audiences conditioned to consume scandal as entertainment.

The consequences can be devastating. False allegations, public humiliation and isolation have contributed to profound distress; lost jobs, families destroyed, reputations annihilated—and, in tragic cases, the loss of life.

Journalist Sharyl Attkisson described the experience of sustained smearing in her book The Smear2:

“Imagine trying to focus on your job or family while professional smear artists engage in a 24/7 operation to discredit and controversialise you…

Their slander alienates your bosses, clients, colleagues, and the general public. They isolate you from your support system. Eventually, your own family and friends start to wonder about you.”

That is why this threat matters. A smear campaign is far more than criticism, disagreement or an unpleasant article. It is the calculated use of distortion, omission, repetition and social pressure to separate people from the truth (without them realising)—and from one another.

It is character assassination.

As we shared yesterday, it is a deliberate attempt to falsify the public record that completely distorts your personal cognitive record.

When a smear campaign begins, panic, isolation and impulsive retaliation can deepen the harm. But we do not have to be caught by surprise by such an attack.

The reality endured by Lighthouse Global over the last five years has taught us the personal cost of such attacks—and the critical need to help others facing them.

In the coming days, we will examine how smear campaigns operate, how to recognise the warning signs, how to preserve evidence, and how to respond with truth, wisdom and courage.

Note: Given Paul’s longstanding ill health resulting from the multiple Establishment attacks on him, these daily updates are generated by the team, drawing from recent and older meetings and transcripts that Paul has shared with us. We ask for you to keep him in your prayers as he builds strength and renews in our Lord.


God bless,

Paul S. Waugh, Chris Nash and Shaun Cooper

God help Erin and her demoniac family. Honestly what is that? The hellish old British Empire mentality of trying to destroy others, using racist, xenophobic hate speech to try and kill them because they were utterly horrible parents?! God bless Paul for the work he’s suffered day in and day out, at the hands of beastly people trying to attack him and his work, when what he’s trying to do is actually help human beings come out of this disgusting, demonic swamp of sin and self destruction!!

This is absolutely heinous to read about Erin. And actually this being talked about and the truth being revealed actually exposes the very real abuse and demonic experience that many have to face in families. It is a horrendous reality of our fallen world that Erin was not safe and cared for, that those she trusted most allowed such evil. She made very bad choices thereafter but you can understand her actions to a point when she went through so much trauma. That doesn’t justify character assassination but it does point to the spirit behind that.
Very useful breakdowns here to see the truth clearly laid out

Thank you for this update and for Paul’s article about what is truly important in our lives. It really helps to see what it means to be committed to Christ and what ought to come first in life.

On the other hand, seeing how Erin’s parents reacted to the abuse she experienced is shocking, unloving, and evil. God bless Erin, and I hope that one day she will recognise how much love and self extension she experienced at Lighthouse.

The DARVO (Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender) pattern, identified by Dr Jennifer Freyd, is very helpful in explaining what happened to Erin. The false public record and the BBC’s smears need to be corrected, and all the BBC’s lies, falsehoods, and character assassination must be exposed.

God bless.

There’s obviously a lot that needs to be kept confidential with Erin, but I had no idea there were other sexual abusers in her family. 😢 I can attest to the nastiness of her father. I sincerely hope she heals.

The more I learn about a Smear campaign, and how they are deliberately engineered the more I see the vindictiveness of the mainstream media.

Thank you for your article by Paul S Waugh – I look forward to reading it.

Just reading the account, background and context to Erin’s involvement with Lighthouse, where she came from, what she had endured and how she came to turn on those who were genuinely caring for and helping her is tragic. It shows how smear campaigns can arise for the most diabolical reasons and from influences and persons with diabolical motives and characters. It shows us why we all need to scrutinise serious allegations and accusations against anybody with as much discernment and healthy skepticism as possible because how they appear and are presented on the surface can be extremely misleading from how dark and twisted the reality is behind the scenes. Erin is clearly a very damaged soul and has undergone immense suffering, manipulation and abuse at the hands of those she ought to have been most protected, safe and secure in – her own family. To have undergone such betrayal so often from so young it’s understandable how she could herself be able to commit the same. I pray the truth weighs on her conscience to the point she chooses to repent and make her wrongs right. Without this she carries an incredible amount of guilt for what she’s done and the damage she’s caused, regardless of the reasons for that. For the Bible says, But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed. Romans 2:5. But it also says If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:9

What happened to Erin, shouldn’t happen to anyone. Unfortunately, it does and it is. I pray for Erin, wherever she is, that she is away from the demons in her family and is being able to work through things in order to heal. It’s as you said, all post of the smear campaign. The lies and deceit. Wanting control Im order to feel better, this is happening all over the world. This is why correcting the record is so critical. We need to be able to stand up and share the truth. God bless everyone….

Thank you for this update. It is a really powerful piece, particularly the section laying out why and how the establishment has attempted to attack Paul S. Waugh and Lighthouse Global. It is becoming increasingly clear to anyone willing to look objectively.

It is tragic to read about what happened to Erin, and to so many others who find themselves in similar situations. It is heartbreaking that things ended as they did. Those who perpetrated such heinous crimes must ultimately be held fully accountable.

This is yet another substantial and significant update. I really appreciate us sharing the short audio from Paul S. Waugh to help us all to ask ourselves what is truly most important in our lives. It cuts through the way we want to be seen to the core of who we actually are based on what we prioritise and actually do.

Meanwhile it’s heartbreaking and disgusting what ‘Erin’ went through as a child. How the BBC decides to protect her abusers whilst blatantly lying about how she was treated here at Lighthouse is indefensible. Again, she was another person who was greatly loved, cared for and helped by a whole range of people at Lighthouse. It’s tragic how she was emotionally tortured well into her adult life. It’s no wonder she felt such a need to be on the other side of the world from them.

I value the detailed explanation about what’s behind the attacks on Lighthouse. There’s way more than meets the eye, but the more I learn about the Establishment, the more I learn about why so much attention and resource have been invested with the intention to destroy our lives and livelihoods.

Lastly I appreciate the continued education on smear campaigns. They are so misunderstood by the masses, yet are so destructive. That’s why I value how we’re helping others to detect and confront such reputational attacks.

“One of the most chilling realities about Erin’s case is how the BBC literally conspired to cover up heinous incestuous rape of her as a child.” Read that again…an organisation chock full of sexual predators, conspired to cover up yet another case of rape and sexual abuse of someone they have tried to convince us they are looking out for and care about. It boggles the mind how evil this organisation actually is.

Thank you for providing an example for the everyday citizen to help them see that a smear campaign can happen to anyone, at any time, so we mistreated our brothers and sisters and continue our education also 🙏

Crucial update!
Knowing what or who I actually worship is needed in order to make sure I put Christ first.

Then to see the extent to which the BBC will cover up criminality is criminal in itself. I ask, if a government agency like the BBC discovers a crime, aren’t they bound by law to report it to the police?

Lastly to know when someone is smearing you is becoming more important in the digital / social media age, where channels for abuse never stop.

It’s brilliant you’re calling out the fake whistle blowers. I feel the cognitive war, where the war is for our minds and hearts. It’s so important to understand how the enemy is attacking us, because we really do have enemies but they are walking around in sheep’s clothing. Brilliant! Thank you
