Why We Are Holding Christian Hacking Accountable Publicly

Christian Hacking Accountability

As a Christian, you may view this website and our accountability-holding of Christian Hacking as perhaps unusual, because it is… very unusual.

Not only is it unusual, it is extremely vital and necessary.

The Purpose of This Page

Our experiences with Christian Hacking have been a severe and invaluable learning experience for us all at Lighthouse Global.

We were shocked that a supposed brother in Christ could behave the way he has towards us — and we recognise that such behaviour exists worldwide across the Body. This is why we have coined the Judas Syndrome to describe this.

The Bible clearly calls us to settle disputes between believers in private, then among believers, then with church elders, and if all else fails, to then treat the individual in question as we would, a non-Christian. (Matthew 18:15–17, 1 Corinthians 6:1–7).

You can read the full context of what has occurred here.

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 page is to explain why we have taken the steps we have, in line with Scripture.

Handling Disputes Privately

"Now if your brother sins, go and show him his fault in private; if he listens to you, you have won your brother."

— Matthew 18:5
  • Mr Hacking's true motives and character became increasingly apparent to everyone at Lighthouse Global after he began covering the court case of Kris Deichler, Jatinder Kamra, Sukh Singh vs the CPS in July 2025.
  • With every occasion where we needed to admonish, correct or help Mr Hacking, we did so privately.
  • Sukh Singh was Mr Hacking's main point of contact at Lighthouse Global, and Sukh attempted to correct Mr Hacking's articles on several occasions, yet Mr Hacking did not correct his errors in his published work, even though he agreed it was incorrect and in his words, "sloppy".
  • Mr Hacking himself stated he is a "very amateur" journalist and later proceeded to send Paul S. Waugh 150 cynical, prosecutorial, biased and prejudiced questions.
  • Not only this, but Mr Hacking implied in a number of different ways that if Paul did not answer any of his questions, that meant he was guilty.
  • (Mr Hacking went on to later state this same sentiment publicly to his personal readership on Substack).

A Disturbing Lack of Christian Brotherly Love

"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."

— John 13:34-35
  • On multiple occasions, Paul S. Waugh extended himself despite seriously ill health, to pray for Mr Hacking through direct personal audio messages, as well as offer personal support to the aspiring journalist.
  • Paul was (and still is) extremely concerned for the wellbeing of Mr Hacking's family, given his poor financial situation which he had made clear to Paul and Sukh.
  • Paul repeated these concerns and also for Mr Hacking's personal safety in covering such a huge case where the BBC and the top-tier Establishment had attacked the small Christian contingent of Lighthouse Global.
  • Not once did Mr Hacking, who claims to be a Christian, reciprocate this love and care back to Paul.
  • In fact, what we have observed in our time knowing Mr Hacking, is a propensity for reactiveness rather than maturity and measuredness, sensationalism, jumping to conclusions, disrupting the public gallery in a courtroom, invading people's private and traumatic past in the name of journalism, to name but a few.
  • It became evident from our experiences of Mr Hacking, that he was more committed to Lighthouse being a cult, than being a Christian community.
  • His toxic bias and prejudice revealed itself the more time went by, as if his career and reputation depended on us being a cult in his eyes.
  • In short, while he claims Christ and may pray in public, our experience has shown us very little fruit of the Spirit. In fact, we have experienced the opposite.

Seeking Godly Counsel

"But if he does not listen to you, take one or two more with you, so that by the mouth of two or three witnesses every fact may be confirmed."

— Matthew 18:16
  • Sukh sought counsel from his mentor and brother in Christ, Paul S. Waugh, as to how to handle the egregious behaviour of Mr Hacking.
  • Beyond that, Kris, Jatinder and Sukh sought legal and Christian counsel in the form of their Christian lawyers.
  • They were advised to not speak to any members of the press or any journalists about their court case and to keep publications to a minimum, as to preserve the safety of their court case — which was still "live", due to their imminent appeal at the Crown Court (scheduled for 7th Sept 2026).
  • Paul himself had informed Mr Hacking that we could not work with him in any capacity, due to his gross lack of character and competence.
  • Sukh sent a personal message to Mr Hacking, informing him of how he had violated the trust and sanctity of the Christian community at Lighthouse Global — including himself.
  • As a last resort in the face of Mr Hacking's obstinate behaviour, Sukh sent Mr Hacking a cease and desist letter.
  • Christian Hacking did not heed the warnings and advice from Sukh or Lighthouse Global.
  • He proceeded to publish an article several weeks later, defaming Lighthouse and Paul S. Waugh as an alleged cult and cult leader respectively.

Correcting the Public Record

"And if he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as the Gentile and the tax collector."

— Matthew 18:17
  • Because Mr Hacking had now made a private matter public and falsified the public record, it was too late for anyone at Lighthouse to resolve this matter privately with Mr Hacking or his church.
  • Even worse, Mr Hacking was prioritising his "scoop" ahead of Christ, ahead of Christian brotherly love, kindness, goodness, care… and ahead of serving the Body of Christ.
  • He has publicly and brazenly stated that his motives are "fight picking and limelight chasing" as for his journalistic work.
  • He has recently closed his Substack account, with no overt sign of repentance, apology or even recognition of his own wrongdoings.
  • Screenshot showing closure of Christian Hacking's Substack account

  • The public record needed to be fully and comprehensively corrected, and we have all the provable evidence to back up everything we state publicly.
  • Whether amateur or professional journalist, too many are allowed and enabled to falsify and poison the public record about Christians.
  • This cannot and must not be tolerated by the Body of Christ; our Lord's name, as well as unity among Christendom is at stake.
  • This is why we have since published a series of open letters and articles about Mr Hacking's wrongdoings against God, the Body of Christ, Lighthouse Global and his own birth family.
  • Mr Hacking has refused to examine himself, his family and the Masonic cult roots that his family hold.
  • To this day, Mr Hacking has shown no visible signs of repentance, apology or contrition.
  • We have strong reason to believe that Mr Hacking may have been motivated by financial incentive behind his targeting of Lighthouse Global and Paul S. Waugh.
  • If there was no direct incentive, we believe there was a financial objective to sensationalise us as leverage for his own personal and career gain.
  • Mr Hacking has himself stated that he has struggled financially which gives us greater reason to suspect his financial motivations in targeting us.

Edifying and Serving the Body of Christ

"I felt the necessity to write to you exhorting that you contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all handed down to the saints. For certain persons have crept in unnoticed, those who were long beforehand marked out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who turn the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ."

— Jude 1:3-4

Why do we continue publishing articles and open letters about Christian Hacking?

  • Mr Hacking's lack of repentant interaction with those he has attempted to disgrace wrongly, must not disserve the wider Body of Christ.
  • There are priceless and invaluable lessons from our experiences with Mr Hacking that are crucial for the wider Body to learn.
  • We as Christians scarcely understand how our enemy Satan operates from the outside, in the kingdom of darkness through the top-tier Establishment.
  • We know even less of how he sows discord, dissipation, division and disunity among the brotherhood and sisterhood of Christ from within.
  • We have embarked on extensive experiential research for years into this, which we have coined the Judas Syndrome.
  • Therefore our work to continue in this educational series is of the utmost importance.

Our Prayers and Concern for Christian Hacking

"Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much."

— James 5:16
  • All of us at Lighthouse continue to hold Christian Hacking and his family in our prayers.
  • We are deeply concerned for him and his wellbeing.
  • We would sincerely love for him to repent, turn from his own wicked ways, and rejoice with him as a brother in Christ eternally.
  • Every step we have taken so far has been a painful and saddening one — we have not wanted to take any of these steps. But we have been compelled to.

Our Commitment to Christ and His Body

It must be said again that all of us at Lighthouse have been shocked by these experiences. Having been the target of top-tier Establishment attacks, which sought to completely ruin and decimate our lives, we have been emotionally, reputationally, financially and physically devastated.

To open this vulnerable and tight-knit community after such attacks to someone who claimed to be a supportive brother in Christ was no small thing.

We yearned for the support from our brothers and sisters.

Yet through such heinous actions by Mr Hacking, our individual and collective faith in our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, as well as our commitment to serving His Body, has strengthened significantly.
