6th May, 2026 – Lighthouse Wednesday Update – Why The Christ Syndrome?

Lighthouse Daily – 6th May, 2026...

Good day fellow citizens and brothers and sisters in Christ,

Today’s update is about a 10 minute read:

  • Why it’s called the Christ Syndrome (and why responsibility matters).
  • A call for Christian Hacking to investigate and interview his father and family with honest scrutiny.
  • Part 2 of our investigation and case study into the UK Insolvency Service and Boris Becker.

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

“And now, little children, abide in Him, so that when He is manifested, we may have confidence and not shrink away from Him in shame at His coming.” – 1 John 2:28

Why is it called the Christ Syndrome?

Why not the Satan Syndrome? Or the Human Syndrome?

Because this is about how we, as the collective Body of Christ, treat Him.

Christ created us with choice. When we abuse that choice, we end up with a syndromic relationship with Him.

Choice, responsibility, and the root of all problems

When we wilfully disobey Jesus Christ, we abuse the very gift He gave us (besides His perfect self-sacrificial atonement).

And when we abuse that choice, every other syndrome and problem in our lives stems from it.

Adam and Eve chose to disobey God — Satan offered the temptation and lie, but they chose it. He is the father of all lies, and we must know our enemy very well. But we must not solely blame Satan as an excuse, where we clearly have responsibility.

Our duty as the Body

As a collective Body, we are far more steeped in the Christ Syndrome than we are in obeying Him, loving Him, and fulfilling His commission in every area of our lives.

It is therefore our individual and collective responsibility to work together, help each other, and know our Lord’s commission for us:

  • inside and outside our own souls
  • inside and outside our own homes

Not just proclaiming the glory of His Kingdom — becoming it.

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

“You shall have no other gods before Me.” – Exodus 20:3

Within the Christ Syndrome firmly sits the Judas Syndrome.

The Judas Syndrome exposes those who do more than betray Christians. They literally want to destroy and murder them. As Judas betrayed Jesus Christ to have him murdered.

Whether that is by a public reputational smear, or turning other Christians against them, or actual physical harm.

Christians have a godly mandate to defend and protect ourselves. We are never commanded to create conflict, but as creatures made in the image of God (Genesis 1:27), we must protect ourselves, our loved ones and the vulnerable.

Self defence is not merely physical.

Judas never physically hit Jesus Christ.

Mainstream media companies have launched countless assassination hit-pieces that have resulted in thousands of men, women and children ending their own lives, or in being killed by others.

Recently we launched our investigation into and case study of the self-proclaimed “very amateur” journalist, Christian Hacking.

If you are not familiar with our investigation and case study into Christian Hacking, click on the arrow on the left for more context. If you are familiar already, continue reading below…
  • Christian Hacking presented himself to Lighthouse Global as a “very amateur” independent Christian journalist, and we initially aimed to support him as a brother or sister in Christ.
  • Lighthouse later concluded that Hacking had a vested interest in demonising us through toxic framing, needing Lighthouse to appear as a “cult” and Paul S. Waugh as a “cult leader”, despite what is extensive contrary evidence.
  • We believe this framing served Hacking’s amateur journalistic ambitions by creating a sensational “big scoop”, even if misleading, at our and Paul’s expense.
  • Due to Hacking’s deceptive intent, lack of professionalism, and limited audience or reach, we decided we could not work with Hacking.
  • Hacking sent Paul a set of 150 questions. These questions were biased, cynical, self righteous, and prosecutorial, demanding answers, despite Paul stating (26 Jan 2026, via audio message) that we could not work with Hacking.
  • At minimum this is a petty vendetta, and possibly signs of being a “media plant” connected to the BBC. Both Hacking and Hacking’s father David have praised the BBC.
  • If Hacking is smearing Christian communities as “cults” for personal agenda rather than genuine investigation, it must be challenged, hence our case study and linking it to the “Judas Syndrome” educational series.
  • This issue is larger than one individual. It is part of a wider, orchestrated “Establishment” strategy to brand close knit communities, and even businesses or parties, as alleged cults to control narratives and ostracise opposition.

This is someone who, despite warnings, caution, support, prayers, help and massive self extension from Paul S. Waugh, Sukh Singh and other Lighthouse Associates, has chosen to abuse his position and ride on the smear campaign of the BBC’s attack on Lighthouse.

He has done this all while claiming to be a brother in Christ.

He has done this knowing full well, that we have been suffering and desperately trying to recover from the onslaught of attacks against us.

As we have made clear before, this case study is not just about Mr Hacking. This is about the wider syndromic issue of the betrayal and murderous spirit that has penetrated the Body of Christ.

So, as our beloved brother in Christ, John MacArthur, once laid out in the video below, Christians have a God-given duty, as part of our Godly commission, to protect and defend ourselves from murderous attacks. That includes holding accountable those who try to destroy us.

We do so to warn them and anyone else off from trying to attack us.

We have a job to do for Christ. To let anyone, especially a so-called Christian, try and decimate that work and publicly destroy our Christian reputation, is an affront against God and His people.

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

“When the righteous increase, the people are glad, but when a wicked man rules, people groan.” – Proverbs 29:2

In line with the accountability regarding Mr Hacking, we are sharing with you a crucial and vital instance of holding incompetent and corrupt individuals within organisations accountable to their wrongdoing.

The top-tier Establishment can and will do anything in their might to maintain control of:

  • you
  • the masses
  • the human, material and financial value in this world
  • and the power over it all

Why are individual citizens pursued so aggressively by the Establishment… while systemic inefficiencies and failures on a far greater scale are left largely unchallenged?

Part 2: Boris Becker, the Insolvency Service, and Michael Bint

Today we are sharing the second part of the investigation and case study into former tennis champion Boris Becker and the Insolvency Service, featuring Michael Bint.

👉 You can read the full article here.

Part 2 is not just a continuation, it is a warning. And more importantly, it is a blueprint for what comes next to help ourselves and each other.

This is an extremely disturbing case study, where Mr Becker was sentenced to 30 months in prison.

It is about ensuring that no individual — whether a global figure like Boris Becker or an everyday citizen on the street — is left exposed to overwhelming institutional power without the required support, structure, and advocacy.

If you missed Part 1, you can read it here.

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 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

What a powerful update… over the last few years, I have learned, thanks to Paul especially, as well as other Christians who teach with high levels of discernment, that self defence is a crucial command. But I love how brother John shows this is Biblical, coming back to protecting and keeping sacred, the image of God. Being made in His image… and how this relates to our crucial need to hold accountable those who have sought to literally destroy us through words, smears, media and any means they could. Powerful, thank you so so much.

I think what you’ve shared about the Christ Syndrome for me is the tip of the iceberg. So much I have to appreciate about my relationship with Jesus Christ, His perfect way, truth and life, and how far from Him I am in the way I think, feel and conduct my life. Thanks to Him and His Holy Spirit for being able to turn around and repent.

Looking forward to reading the second Boris Becker article, thank you all involved in sharing these case studies. God bless and protect you all.

Thank you for this latest update. I appreciate how you are helping us understand ourselves, our relationship with Christ, and how this affects us. You are helping us to understand that the Christ Syndrome is real and is within the Body of Christ. You have allowed us to understand that through the example of Christian Hacking, how he has gone against his brothers in Christ, by the way he has treated Paul, Sukh, Kris and Jatinder.

Thank you for sharing part 2 of Boris Becker. I look forward to reading it.
God bless…

This is a crucial update that I’m very grateful for, explaining the Christ syndrome and how the Judas syndrome is central to it, as we’ve recently experienced with Mr Hacking and many others throughout our lives. May we all grow in education, knowledge, and wisdom in this area, and pray earnestly for one another so we are not led astray. In Jesus’ name, amen. Thank you x x

This makes a really powerful point about self-defence. I really appreciated this video by Sean Santos Can Christians Fight Back?. What I value is that meekness should not be confused with weakness, which many Christians and non-Christians do.

The last 5+ years have taught me that murder isn’t only physical… wanting to completely decimate and destroy someone’s reputation, life and livelihood is attempted murder. In this time we’ve responded with truth in self-defence. The first 8 or so months we did nothing in response to online attacks and they only got worse, they didn’t go away.

Christian Hacking has made the statement that we’ve tried to defame and destroy, when all we’ve done is acted responsibly to a reputational attack that we did everything to try to prevent, including sending him a cease and desist letter.

God bless our brother John MacArthur, God rest his soul. His words are powerful and true, we Christians must not be passive and weak when threatened with destruction and attacked, even if it’s non-physical. We must defend ourselves and those we have a responsibility and care for. Let’s not forsake our duty to protect where and when we need to. I have been the passive, reluctant type myself too many times and I’ve had to learn to step up and not be afraid to stand my ground and/or confront in doing so. It’s situations like that with Mr Hacking show how much we need to protect our reputations, our livelihoods, our wellbeing, mentally, emotionally and spiritually from attack also. Especially from those who have initially presented themselves as a friend and a brother or sister. In those cases everyone needs to be warned for their safety too.

Thank you for this update. It is crucial to understand that we have a choice, and that it is our responsibility to choose wisely, because our choices have real-life consequences. If we abuse that choice and break ourselves against God-given laws, then both people and systems begin to break down. If I do not oil a lawnmower, it eventually breaks.

This update helps me to see more clearly the issues within the Body of Christ, and the importance of developing ourselves and understanding the Christ Syndrome. Without this, real and much-needed progress and value building are not possible, as we risk becoming delusional.

The example of Christian Hacking clearly shows what happens when someone goes against these principles and does not repent.

I also appreciate the second letter in the Boris Becker investigation, and the further insight into what happened with the Insolvency Service, as well as how the Establishment seeks to keep people small and controlled. Thank you.

After an incredibly eye-opening couple of weeks, understanding the Judas Syndrome, this daily update is appreciated to reinforce how we are affected by the Christ syndrome and more influenced by Satan’s system and influence than we are aware of and that lack of awareness has been intentional by the Establishment. We have to wake up and hold what lays within us and outside of us, firmly and consistently accountable because there is nothing more important than a true, obedient and intimate relationship with Christ and fulfilling what He requires of us.

Thank you for these last couple of weeks because the clarity and conviction has been indispensable 🙏

The Christ commentary is very important, blaming Satan for our disobedience only leads us to hell, as it our choices that bring us into conflict or separation from God. Though as with the case of Christian Hacking, not to say we can’t been satanically attacked, and attacked from other (so-called) Christians. That there is very sad story, of us doing the right things by him and still the intent was to sell us out. Okay, then the blame goes Satan’s way via this perpetrator’s choices.

Thank you for explaining the Christ Syndrome. What felt very key to me is looking at what happened in the Garden of Eden and the point you made very astutely. Yes Satan was the stimulus that caused Adam and Eve to eat the fruit but they made that choice with their God given free will. Yet many Christians ignore that and will abscond their responsibility in their own sinning and Satan becomes a catch all excuse to do so.

The Christ Syndrome is really powerful – my goodness to abuse that choice He’s given us, the atonement He’s given us whether we’re born again or not is so heartbreaking. I find myself completely underestimating my own evil and the evil of humanity. We are not all mostly good with a bit of bad. How we treat Christ even when we say we love Him just shows that syndrome

Understanding the Christ Syndrome will help us all to avoid it and make the best use of the choice He gave to us by His grace.
