For over a year, Lighthouse International Group, now known as Lighthouse Global, has been assaulted, criticised and accused of wrongdoing by those with a hateful and destructive agenda. This post will provide an ongoing picture of the relentless assault that Lighthouse Global and its people have endured through false and unfounded accusations.
We have been falsely accused of trying to silence those who have been involved with Lighthouse Global. This is completely untrue and the evidence of that is we are publishing the accusations made against us on our very own website!

Content Warning: This article contains explicit language.
Introduction
Since February 2021, we at Lighthouse International Group, now known as Lighthouse Global have been assaulted as well as falsely and baselessly accused online of immoral, unethical, unlawful, illegal and criminal activity. These assaults have been instigated by a tiny percentage of all the people we've worked with over the last 18 years; less than 0.01%!! They have been joined by malignantly toxic family members and friends of ourselves as well as people we've worked with. What those accusing us fail to recognise though is that the burden of proof lies on these accusers, not on Lighthouse Global.
Anybody can resentfully make accusations about anyone else but for these claims to be taken seriously and to avoid legal repercussions, there needs to not just be evidence of the alleged wrongdoing, but legitimate evidence, evidence that is proven and accurate and that can and will stand up in a court of law. This means that not only does the burden of proof lie on our accusers and assailants, but so too does the burden of responsibility for what’s been shared publicly and also how that has been shared as well. To accuse is one thing, but to do so maliciously, with a reckless disregard for the truth and to be deliberately destructive is something else entirely.
Therefore this post contains what will be an ongoing and constantly updated list of ALL accusations and assaults made against Lighthouse Global and its individual representatives; past and present.
Along with the accuser(s), we’re presenting the current status of each accusation in terms of the amount and quality of evidence/proof that’s been presented to back them up. In the same manner, we will also be listing and keeping a track of all the many personal assaults that have been and are being made against Associate Partners of Lighthouse Global as they develop.
For those who have already read this post, you can read the latest updates:
Context of The Assaults on Lighthouse Global
Upfront we will say that on Reddit and in the Daily Mail the word ‘investment’ has been completely misused with the intention to present Lighthouse Global in a bad light. Effectively there is a myth being presented that investments have been made into Lighthouse Global which have never been returned. This is completely untrue as we have no way of receiving investments into Lighthouse Global.
In reality any investment made by anyone has been an investment in themselves through a Lighthouse programme in a similar way to investing in a university degree. In this comparable example the investment is not in the university, but in the student through the university.
The following points put the below lists of assaults and false accusations into absolute context with all the evidence that is available within the confines of the law.
1. At Lighthouse International Group, now known as Lighthouse Global, there are 3 main reasons why people attack us through false accusations and/or blatant assaults on ourselves and our work.
a. There are controlling, malignantly toxic families, parents, siblings or partners who feel jealous and resentful that they can’t control their child or partner anymore.
b. Ex-business partners or clients who are bitter about refunds that, for clear and legitimate reasons they are not due and know they have no legal case for.
c. Those who have fallen in love and have unrequited affections for their mentor who have become nasty and bitter as a result of their feelings not being returned.
2. These 3 groups of people have actively sought out each other as well as anyone else with grievances against Lighthouse. False accusations were wrongfully and unlawfully made online on Reddit by these vengeful people in order to slander and defame Lighthouse and its people. This was to purposely inflict damage on our reputation in order to destroy our lives and our business as well as any opportunities present and future.
3. The above was then followed by a daily flood of slurs and cruel assaults on the people of Lighthouse; our characters, our mental health and wellbeing designed to cause as much pain suffering and debilitation as possible. They hurt and nearly destroyed many sensitive and honest people here. This continues daily despite increasing police intervention.
4. The Lighthouse assailants and character and well-being assassins then proactively roped in more people on the net, some of them criminal and extremely unstable and dangerous, to attack us, even letting them lead the charge. These people had no prior issue with Lighthouse, its people and had never met us.
5. The Lighthouse assailants hellbent on destroying us then went to the Daily Mail, the Daily Mirror and other newspapers in order to report their false accusations. They did this to add credibility to their assault and smear campaign. The Daily Mail’s Tom Kelly then printed a sensationalised, biased and prejudiced story designed for advertising clickbait. Mr Kelly and team did no serious investigation or fact-checking which we have challenged the Daily Mail on publicly. They simply referred to the false accusations as “accusations” and then hung the responsibility for the contents of the article on the shoulders of a few willing named and unnamed sources.
All of these Daily Mail sources were our assailants and Reddit predatory trolls who had to that point mercilessly assaulted our characters and mental health and wellbeing with the most vile assaults.
To date the Mirror has not published anything to damage us or printed anything about us at all. The hell continues. We pray for it to end soon and for justice to be done.
Many of the people recruited as predatory trolls and assailants by the disgruntled people (who did not receive refunds) are malignantly toxic and extremely controlling family members of Lighthouse Partners and clients. These family members have been of the worst kind of assailants in all of this, causing unimaginable pain, suffering and damage to their family members and others here at Lighthouse Global. They continue relentlessly.
It is both ridiculous to expect and impossible for Lighthouse Global to take responsibility and atone for any alleged unlawful/illegal activity if this cannot be genuinely proven or substantiated first. Atoning for what we’ve done wrong is at the heart of our philosophy at Lighthouse Global.
Given our research into understanding and developing human beings and human potential over the past 18 years we understand there will be three groups of people who read this article;
1. Those who believe the false accusations without evidence because it suits their current agenda.
2. Those who choose not to believe the false accusations because it suits their current agenda not to.
3. Those who are genuinely objective and who will weigh up the facts, the reasons and the evidence to base their opinion on a dedication to reality and truth, no matter how inconvenient to their current views or painful that might be to them personally.

On 3rd June 2022, Chairman Paul S. Waugh posted publicly on Twitter that he and Lighthouse International Group, now known as Lighthouse Global, invite any and all of our accusers to meet face to face, at a neutral venue and with neutral oversight, in order to hear their claims and accompanying evidence, along with any lawyers, police or anyone else they wish to bring to help back up their case in order to avoid having to meet up in court. Our intention is to avoid having to take this through a very expensive, time-consuming and stressful judicial process through the courts on both a criminal and libel level. To date we are still waiting for even one acceptance of this invitation.
The below is a register, a compilation of assaults and false allegations that continues daily on a relentless circular pattern designed to devastate us including our families and children.
We will be updating this list daily, or as often as new information comes to light, but given the consistency, persistency and sheer volume of anti-Lighthouse statements we estimate that there is far less than 1% here, compared to the volume of what’s actually been written. The 38 assaults and false accusations listed below is drop in the ocean compared to the thousands of false accusations made online that we are still categorising from our extensive documentation and evidence gathering.
Who Are Those Behind These Attacks On Lighthouse Global?
What we will also say is that responsibility for what's been written on Reddit also comes under the moderators of the relevant subreddit. This means that the following usernames are complicit for what's been written because through their inaction they condone and endorse what's been posted. We have included the names of employers where they have been informed and not taken action as these organisations are complicit in allowing this behaviour to continue.

Assaults on Lighthouse Global, Its People & Families
We warn in advance of the offensive language used. Unfortunately those assaulting us are very bitter, hateful and resentful individuals. This is likely because as children growing up they did not receive the kindness, gentleness, love and compassion they needed to learn how to process their emotions in order to express themselves with honour, dignity and respect. We genuinely hope they will read this and be shocked into realising that hate never wins and accept our invitation to meet in person to reconcile and atone with us like healthy grown adults would choose to.

I don’t give a flying monkey’s fuck about anything Paul Stephen Waugh says. Literally everything out of his mouth is complete bullshit. He’s so full of it if you gave him an enema you could bury him in a matchbox.
They will never take anyone to court, they don’t have any legal counsel, their understanding of the law and how it works, both civil and criminal, is frankly retarded, and they don’t understand that the evidence against them is their own actions (and that evidence is quite frankly vile).
We are now working as hard as we can to end LIG. Civil and criminal prosecutions for crimes that carry custodial sentences.

Our Legal Response
As individuals we strive to forgive, to love, to care. This means we’re asking our assailants to repent, to ask them to show cause and to ask them to show evidence because we want to deal with this legitimately, authentically and decently. However, the reality is that no one can expect to cause so much damage on so different levels; physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, materially and financially without consequences.
There have been significant costs to us at Lighthouse; not just the substantial time, effort and money invested in handling what’s been thrown at us through these assaults, but also the emotional impact, attacks on our character as well as the threats to our safety and wellbeing. The costs incurred have not just been from responding to these assaults but also the sabotaged opportunities and the projects we’ve put on hold.
The individuals involved, and the group of assailants as a whole, are accountable for these increasing human, material and financial costs involved. Legally, ethically and morally this needs to be those who have been attacking us for a sustained period of time. We have a justice system to assist us in reconciling this situation that our assailants are on the wrong side no matter how right they think they are. Even if they did have the truth, the fact is that the way they’ve tried to go about holding us accountable through false accusations and relentless assaults for over a year is criminal.
There has been much chatter online about the legal team at Lighthouse. Whilst things are very much in process in relation to defamation and civil prosecution, our focus at the moment is on reporting the criminal assaults against us to the police. This is criminal behaviour and efforts to reason have been ignored, even mocked.
We recently started holding people accountable through the appropriate legal channels. Presently we have 27 cases in process with a number of police forces nationally and internationally. As part of a coordinated smear and assault campaign our assailants have admitted that they are known to each other and therefore our conversations with the police include treating our assailants as a group as well as individuals. Whilst we’re not able to name some individuals involved for legal reasons (as yet), we are presenting what we can and will update as and when further reports are filed and progress is made.

Through this whole situation there is not only the burden of proof for these false accusations, but also the burden of responsibility for the assault on Lighthouse as highlighted by Paul Waugh on Twitter.
Conclusion
A year ago in June 2021, one accuser (predatory troll) made the following below comment. As you can see from the above and given our experience, we do not see that this has changed at all since then…
Lighthouse has been logging and collecting all of the above accusations dating back to February 2021, along with the ongoing non-existence of any legitimate and substantial proof, evidence or substance to verify and give credence to any of these claims that would stand in a court of law.
This process has accumulated a vast body of evidence that has been extensively collated, catalogued and organised and is now being used and will be used for existing and future criminal and civil legal proceedings on an individual as well as collective level.
Various police reports are currently in progress for crimes against Lighthouse and its people, including harassment, harassment on the basis of race, religion and disability, malicious communications and hate speech. This extensive catalogue also provides the basis for civil and libel cases to be brought where no proof has or can be shown to substantiate such claims. As can be seen above, the potential consequences for lacking such evidence is likely to be extensive.
To close we must reiterate that this is not just a smear campaign, but an outright assault on us as individuals and a business. Here's a breakdown of what we have needed to endure over the last year despite attempts to reconcile in respectful and human ways.
The Extent of the Assault on Lighthouse Global
1. Reddit
- Over 358 anti-Lighthouse posts on Reddit including 290 anti-Lighthouse posts on Lighthouse Cults Subreddit, 60 malicious posts against Lighthouse on the R/Cults platform and 8 anti-Lighthouse posts on the R/Anti-MLM Subreddit
- Over 2,000 anti-Lighthouse comments on Reddit.
2. Web presence
- 3 trolling websites created
3. Twitter
- Over 630 anti-Lighthouse Tweets (most since April 2022)
4. National press
- 2 Libellous Daily Mail articles
5. Attempt to sabotage our relationships with…
- ITV News
- TV production company
- Journalists in the national press and media
- A press release company
- Members of our families and friends/acquaintances
- A Christian volunteering charity
- Recruitment websites
- Existing and prospective clients
- HMRC, the police and other government agencies
6. Wasting police time by sending officers to visit two Lighthouse Associates at their personal homes
7. Manipulating at least 5 cult ‘experts’ to label us as a cult without any investigation whatsoever
Despite the onslaught we've faced and the need to hold our assailants accountable to their actions, we recognise that there is no future in hatred. We want everyone to learn, grow and regenerate through this experience.
We will endeavour to keep this list and progress with each accusation along with their authors and any evidence or legitimate proof that comes to light updated in real-time. Please do check back regularly to stay up to date. You can also sign up for updates using the form below the comments at the bottom of this page.
Trolling in any form, online, offline, in print, name calling, dogpilling etc, is not the way to solve a problem or disagreement. There are official channels to follow and routes to take that are designed to get to the truth and deal with complaints. Trolling does none of these things.
If only this was a few people and trashy journalism directing this vitriol at Lighthouse. The reality is stark! This hatred in the human heart and souls is increasingly happening in homes, businesses and terrifyingly ... schools ...where many young people are tragically dying through taking their own lives, because of the malicious bullying and on line trolling that they endure. We all need to respond to this pandemic of hatred from the human heart that is of epidemic proportions. Thank you Lighthouse for sharing with the world an expose of this increasing wickedness and even evil that lurks in the heart of our humanity. God Bless us all - and especially our offspring who will bear the brunt of…
Looking at this again, some weeks and months later, I'm saddened for those who think this is how you solve your problem. I'm still waiting to hear a clear case as to how spending time, money and effort on creating and building a business, which takes a lot of all those resources, means that it's a cult. If I start listing all the fallacies and false allegations that don't make sense to me, I'll just be re-writing this register.
So many people of all ages are affected by trolling and online harassment and it often has a huge impact on the wellbeing of those who are trolled.
Going through this list here shows me how abusive comments can be and how often the intentions are purely to destroy another human being or an organisation.
It is so important to make this public and to come forward with all those false allegations. I’ve got a daughter and thinking about the often 24/7 abuse that children experience nowadays shows how absolutely essential it is to address online trolling. Thanks James for putting this together.
We are living in a world where this is going on all around us, invading our homes, our children's lives. People following narratives that are set by disgruntled, people and unreliable sources of truth and reality. We cannot live like this anymore, a stand needs to be taken. We can fight this global problem and through that learn and grow together.
