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

Receiving God Our Father’s Love

“Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight. Be not wise in your own eyes; fear Yahweh and turn away from evil. This will bring healing to your body and refreshment to your bones.” — Proverbs 3:5-8

What matters most is that we understand the living dynamic of love between our Heavenly Father and us as His children.

One of the Father’s greatest cares is us, and His love is not merely an emotion—it is THE active, constructive force that reaches into our lives with care, grace, protection, wisdom, mentoring, coaching, and counsel.

We learn to receive that love: to recognise it, accept it, and become genuinely thankful for it. In silence and prayer, we wait attentively for His guidance and presence, allowing His love to shape us inwardly.

His love moves toward us first, and it works within us to form a purified heart, a renewed mind, and a strengthened spirit (Psalm 51:10).

God’s constructive, Divine Love nurtures us, restores us, and leads us into health, action, truth, and correction when we need it. It draws us into what is fully human and fully aligned with Christ—into self-awareness, conscience, a rightly ordered independent will, and a sanctified creative imagination.

As we grow in recognising and responding to this Divine love, we are changed by it.

We become motivated, energised, and empowered from the inside out. As our gratitude and responsiveness deepen, a relationship forms where His enduring love naturally grows into trust.

We love Our Father, and we trust Him deeply, increasingly—and we ask Him to increase our capacity to trust in Him. The more we mature in this love and trust, the more faithfully we can live under His care, and the more we can be entrusted with what He places in our hands.

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

The Terrifying Fear a Fake Whistleblower Lives In…

“The sound of a windblown leaf will put them to flight. They will run as though fleeing from the sword, and they will fall, even though no one is pursuing them. They will stumble over one another as before the sword, though no one is pursuing them.” — Leviticus 26:36–37

As we revealed yesterday, Richard Thomas came to Lighthouse Global with desperate needs of becoming a healthy, growing adult, healing his marriage and becoming a trustworthy and dependable father to his children.

Tragically, under the diabolical control of his wife Antonia Brider-Thomas and by his own choices, Richard Thomas left Lighthouse in an even more desperate situation. This is someone who received an enormous amount of pro bono help from his mentor Shaun Cooper, and from Paul S. Waugh — which we will elaborate on in the coming days.

Richard Thomas is a representation of a small minority of people in this world who think they can attack those who serve God, truth, righteousness and the vulnerable from the shadows, while scampering away once their attacks have failed. A predatory troll. A fake whistleblower. A demoniac.

Here is an excerpt from Paul S. Waugh’s Twitter/X Post from the 25th April, 2024, exposing the reality of the self-damning reality he and others like him live in…

If Richard Thomas genuinely had confidence in his (weak) position, then why did he not expand his repertoire of lies by being involved with the BBC’s maliciously false attack on Lighthouse Global after his pathetic appearance in the Daily Mail?

Why did his employers not promote him when they found out that he was behind the racist, hateful anonymous smear campaign against Paul S. Waugh and Lighthouse? On the paedophilic dirt bin of the internet, Reddit, no less?

To the contrary, they could not keep him in their employment knowing such truth.

No matter how many falsehoods and hot air Richard Thomas and these foolish Reddites spew out, underneath all of the noise, they are terrified and have zero confidence in themselves. Even if they don’t know the Scripture, they know the essence of the truth of these words,

“A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who breathes out lies will not escape.” — Proverbs 19:5

As we reveal more and more by the day of their fraudulent, deceptive and abhorrent nature, it becomes increasingly apparent to them that no amount of BBC reach or government agency is going to change that. As Paul S. Waugh stated recently,

“We are now seeing that they are slowly starting to realise this…. finally. They still have a way to go, but they are getting there.”

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

What Has the BBC Ever Given Us?… Child Abusers and a Culture That Hid Them

“If anyone sins because they do not speak up when they hear a public oath to give testimony concerning something they have seen or learned about, they will be held responsible.” – Leviticus 5:1

As we have covered this week, the BBC’s self-congratulatory advert, “What has the BBC ever done for me?”, celebrates the programmes, personalities and public service it has brought into British homes.

But there is another answer—one the BBC would rather Britain forgot.

The BBC gave the public serial child abusers such as Jimmy Savile, Rolf Harris, and Stuart Hall, as well as those who were found guilty of watching child abuse such as Huw Edwards.

Sickeningly, as time goes on, more and more child abuse criminals who have been part of the BBC are uncovered. The list of child abusers and sexual abusers is so long that any healthy person would be physically sick to review it. We will be publishing this list in the coming days for the public record. However, this is NOT the true, full list — that is, as it stands, still hidden from public knowledge. But we will continue to pursue the facts and reality to ensure the whole comprehensive truth of the BBC’s abuse of children is revealed.

For decades, Savile and his ilk were not merely employed by the BBC; he was elevated by it.

They were idolised inside and outside of the British Broadcasting Cult.

The Corporation supplied the studios, programmes, celebrity status and extraordinary access that made him appear trustworthy, especially to children. Behind that carefully manufactured public image, he was committing appalling abuse and just as bad…people at the BBC knew about it and still protected him, and themselves.

What did Savile know about them that would come out if he was held accountable for his heinous crimes while still alive?

The independent Dame Janet Smith Review later examined how the BBC’s culture and working practices allowed Savile and Stuart Hall to abuse victims in connection with the Corporation. The review described an environment dominated by powerful, virtually untouchable celebrities, weak accountability and employees who were often reluctant or frightened to raise concerns.

This was not simply one monster deceiving an innocent organisation. It was an institution whose hubris and prestige helped create the monster’s disguise.

Not One Isolated Failure

Savile was not the only convicted abuser who became a cherished BBC personality. Stuart Hall used his broadcasting fame while sexually assaulting girls, and Rolf Harris built a child-friendly television persona before being convicted of indecent assaults against underage victims.

The issue is not just that other BBC employees knew what these individuals were doing. The deeper indictment is that the institution repeatedly created environments in which celebrity power outweighed safeguarding, reputational protection outweighed uncomfortable questions, and those at the bottom lacked the confidence or power to challenge those at the top.

That is institutional evil in its most horrifying form.

Isn’t this what happens in an actual cult?

Selling Children While Failing to Protect Them

This makes the BBC’s use of children in its branding particularly revolting. As we shared yesterday, it wraps itself in Children in Need, wholesome entertainment and moral concern, asking the public to see it as a guardian of the vulnerable.

Yet the same institution gave predators enormous cultural authority and access, while failing to expose them for years.

It handed abusers the most valuable protection imaginable: public familiarity, institutional credibility and the unquestioning trust of families.

The Public Record Must Not Be Sanitised

The BBC would prefer these horrific instances to be discussed (if at all) in the passive language of “historic safeguarding failures,” as though they belonged to some distant institution bearing the same name.

The public funded the BBC. Families trusted it. Children watched it. That trust was catastrophically abused.

So when the BBC asks, “What has the BBC ever done for me?”, the honest answer cannot consist only of beloved programmes, charity appeals and nostalgic childhood memories.

It must also include the predators it placed before the nation, the authority it conferred upon them, the warnings its culture failed to act upon and the victims who paid a horrific price. The BBC did not merely give Britain child abusers. It gave those abusers a badge of trust and then allowed that badge to hide them.

It gave them not just the abusers. It gave Britain the BBC Savile Syndrome — a disgusting, horrifying legacy of chronic abuse, cover-ups, denial and deflection, even silencing the very victims with payoffs.

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

“The only confidence they have is that they are done for.”

And that confidence in their own demise by their own hands must be gnawing on them by the day, tragically. It’s one thing to read about these people in the Bible, like so much in Proverbs, but to see this first-hand is shocking and so damning on them. They trusted in behemoths like the BBC to protect them, when all it does is provably throw people under the bus again and again. Well, as is highlighted here, the Savile Syndrome is what they actually give us. If this is an organisation that literally protects people who rape vulnerable and invalid children, what makes the likes of Jeffrey Leigh-Jones or Richard Thomas think that the BBC will protect them?!

It is horrific to see the sheer scale of the abuse that has taken place within the BBC, along with the extensive cover-ups. As mentioned towards the end, the reports of payoffs used to keep victims silent are sickening to the very core. Thank you for continuing to shine a light on these issues.

Thank you also for what was shared at the beginning about God’s love. It is His constructive love that works within us, giving us a heart of flesh through the process of sanctification. It is a lifelong process and certainly not an easy one, but neither was the life Christ called us to live in Him. Thank you for providing this much-needed education about who we are as human beings and who our ultimate Heavenly Father is.

The section on Richard Thomas was also revealing of the character—or lack of character—of someone who came to Lighthouse but was ultimately drawn away by his own wife. That is an incredibly toxic place to come from, and I pray that, by God’s grace, he will come out of it through Christ’s redemption and sacrifice.

Thank you, and God bless.

The evil committed by members of the BBC cannot be forgotten with some ghastly propaganda piece. That evil history ought to have informed the BBC to have a posture of humility and reform. But they have once again proven that they are incapable of doing the right thing. They are on borrowed time and they know it.

As I read this it struck me how shocked I’d be to hear the BBC broadcasting and speaking about God’s constructive love and loving one’s enemies. I think if we think about that and how alien it would feel to be coming out of the BBC, it really says so much and attunes us to the real spirit of that institution of darkness. I mean, just look at all the dark people and their heinous acts that have come out of that place. Yet still it stands, like a shrine to the most despicable debauchery and depravity because they made entertaining shows that made us laugh! What a cheap price we, the public, have been willing to sell ourselves and the lives of so many damaged children for!

The Savile Syndrome is far more than just what Jimmy Savile did. It’s the whole ecology that allowed it, hid it and justified it. We are so used to child and sexual abuse at the BBC that it doesn’t shock us. And yet we don’t hear a word about it’s prevalence from them. Evil.

Reading this update, what strikes me is how often institutions convince themselves that their reputation will shield them from accountability. The BBC’s history should have led to genuine repentance and humility and a determination to protect the vulnerable above everything else. Instead, time and again, we see evidence of denial, cover ups and the destruction of innocent people while those responsible are protected.

What was also powerful was the reminder at about God’s constructive love. It is such a stark contrast to the spirit behind these institutions. It is the complete opposite of protecting wrongdoing, manipulating public opinion or sacrificing innocent people to preserve an organisation’s image.

Thanks as well for the update on Richard Thomas. It’s a big reminder that people can be drawn away from the truth by fear, pride or unhealthy relationships. I genuinely pray that he will have the humility to repent.

This fakery only comes with a system that allows its influence. I’ll refrain from saying it allows success, because in the long run it never does. This whole system is unbalanced, where too many people have gotten away with using these dark tactics to destroy others.
Richard Thomas would never have started down this dark road if he had not believed he could gain something from it. The record surely needs correcting here.

If we presented just the reality and the facts of the BBC’s abuses from the last 22 years, we would need far more than a 4-hour podcast! The more I learn about what the BBC has done in the equivalent time that Lighthouse has been in existence, the more obscene it is that the BBC could produce such a heinous piece of destructive propaganda in the form of A Very British Cult.

Then we see the sort of people that the BBC takes to be ‘credible’ sources. Whilst being the (grumpy) poster boy of the Daily Mail’s hit piece on Lighthouse, he was noticeably missing in the BBC’s broadcast. Could the damning evidence published to reveal his malicious intentions have been a factor?

In all this evil and chaos all I can say is thank God for God. I’m appreciating the daily insights into how glorious His love is for us.

The BBC are going to regret ever asking the question “what has the BBC ever done for you?” At every turn we can answer what they have not done or what they have done to maintain their paragon of virtue image, whilst they enable and cover up, sickening abuse of children and vulnerable adults.

I have so much to thank our Lord for. Unlike what we see here at the BBC, Christ is the truth, tells the truth and does not hurt or harm …I pray to be increasingly close to Him especially in these last days 🙏

This is a very disturbing read, and I say that only because of what it is you are bringing to us all. The way that someone can turn on those who supported, loved and helped for years, like Mr Thomas…Then what you are sharing about the child sexual abusers who have been convicted who worked at the BBC – this is what is very disturbing and diabolical…The more that comes out about the BBC and the fake whistleblowers helps me and all your readers understand the war that we are in, and this is why I need to put my love, faith and trust solely in God…Amen

The BBC lie for a living.
They will ignore terrorist organisations, sanitise child mutilation and try and tell you that there are more than 2 genders.

So is it any wonder that they will also simply ignore what their highest rated personalities are doing? That they will promote those same personalities to make them the ‘highest rated’ in the first place. We must remember that in the 1980s and 1990s when Saville, Harris, Hall and so on were at their peak of criminality, there were only 4 TV stations – 2 of which were BBC run. (BBC1, BBC2, ITV and Channel 4)

Consequently, The BBC had half of the total broadcasting hours available and could basically say whatever they want and be believed.

The BBC needs to be privatised and rebuilt from the ground up or just abolished.
