“No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.” – Nelson Mandela
What would you say if you had someone come online and write more than 1,500 vicious and maliciously false things about you, your friends, your family and your business over the space of 18 months? What if that person also stirred up a whole group of people to encourage daily assaults on you and the business you’d been working on for years to build? You’d be excused for thinking that person would probably be someone like a jilted lover, vengeful ex-business partner, a vindictive ex-client, a jealous friend or maybe even a toxic family member with a personal vendetta against you.
Well, what I’ve just described are the real-life actions from someone that I and we at Lighthouse International Group have never met! These are the actions of an extremely hateful, resentful and very unwell person. His name is Jon Breen and this post is to warn you about him and those with a similarly unhealthy pathology. Deep down he knows his behaviour is destructive and so we understand why he feels the need to post anonymously about those he pursues relentlessly online and offline.
Mr Breen is a tragic case of someone desperately looking for connection, even if the only way he can do that is by stirring up hatred amongst others against a common enemy (real or dark fantasy!)
Mr Breen refuses to meet Mr Waugh or any of us despite numerous invites because he knows then that his dark fantasy will be blown apart because we are nothing like he and his cohorts imagine!
Why We Need To Call Out Acts Of Constructive Sabotage
Acts of constructive sabotage similar to Jon Breen’s are killing lives and livelihoods without a hair on the head being touched. Children, teenagers and adults are seeking therapy, even taking their own lives because of the hatred they have directed their way. The pathology of a constructive saboteur is sadistic-psychopathic in the respect that it’s rooted in Schadenfreude, whereby pleasure is derived another person’s misfortune.
Are you a sadistic-psychopathic? It’s easy to self diagnose you know! Just ask your this question Do you enjoy revenge? Do you get gratification and fulfilment out of causing others pain and suffering through vengeful words and acts? Do you experience vengeful glee? Enjoyment?

This is classic troll pathology that’s based on the dark triad. From my and our experience we have seen this dark pathology in spades from Jon Breen and others over the last 18 months. He expresses great satisfaction in his efforts to break down others. For instance, in December 2021 Paul S. Waugh was interviewed by ITV News to speak about online anonymity and in April 2022, Jon Breen took great pleasure to publish his attempts to sabotage this relationship where he used the Daily Mail article as a weapon to discredit us where previous attempts had failed.
In the space of less than 6 months, Jon Breen has tweeted links to Daily Mail articles on Lighthouse International Group more than 475 times in a deliberate attempt to destroy our reputation. He’s even created more than 10 anti-Lighthouse Twitter accounts! In this post we’re featuring tweets from two of these accounts; @educofirebird and @toseetosee1, as these are accounts that Jon Breen has attacked us most persistently and maliciously with.
Speaking personally I have firmly, but respectfully, requested him to stop this harassing behaviour in excess of 50 times. Yet Jon Breen persists with the accusation that I’m somehow harassing him and being totalitarian. The reality is that he simply does not like me standing up to him and so as a result I’ve seen attacks personally directed my way online as well as apparently being reported to the police and other authorities.
The Reaction To Jon Breen From Others
Because of his attacks on us, in May 2022 we were sent the link to a website (www.jonbreen.info) which is self-evidently produced by someone else who has been viciously attacked and harassed by Mr Breen. Clearly they had reached the point where they decided enough was enough and dedicated a whole site to him and his obsessive behaviour towards others.
Although it is one-sided and set up with the intent to destroy Mr Breen’s reputation, what’s written about Mr Breen is highly consistent with his obsessive behaviour online. We are dealing with someone who has clearly been damaged to the extent that they have no concept of what is healthy, caring and respectful behaviour. It was the circulation of this site that led to his co-conspirators against Lighthouse dropping their association with him unceremoniously because they found the content to be true while not realising how aligned their behaviour is to that of Mr Breen. They used him and then turned on him, just like they did with us. We have been there Mr Breen, they will turn on each other too, watch this space… They all claimed to love us at one point which we have on recording ready to be shared in court.
It was extremely uncomfortable and inconvenient for the likes of Richard Thomas and Joanne Holmes to see the character of someone who had been pivotal to their malicious smear campaign against Lighthouse International Group. He was deemed surplus to requirements. On a deeper level it would be too painful to recognise that the same hateful pathology lies within them as demonstrated by their actions since leaving Lighthouse.
The below tweets show the level of hatred contained within Jon Breen through recent attacks on Paul S. Waugh, again someone Mr Breen has never actually met or spoken to.



The Remaining Supporters Of Jon Breen
Of those involved in the attacks on Lighthouse International Group (covert and overt), it is only Rani Singh who maintains any form of online communication as demonstrated by the mutual support on Twitter.

However, as we’ve seen with our assailants over the last 18 months, those coming together in the name of hatred and destruction will, in time, turn on each other. We wait to see whether Jon Breen will turn on Rani Singh or vice versa.
Our Compassion For Jon Breen
Based on his online presence, Mr Breen is evidently a clever, resourceful and persistent individual based on some of the things he writes. Yet his hatred and resentment often lead to him writing incredibly childish and foolish things in his bid to attack, demonise, vilify and punish others. Tragically this has an impact on his ability to connect with other people in a healthy way. So we have good reason to believe that Mr Breen is a lonely individual who craves the healthy attention and human connection that he appears to have not received as a child.
Conclusion: Our Appeal & Challenge To Jon Breen
We’ve known Jon Breen’s identity for some time now, sensitive to his deep fear of his cover being blown. We have tried to reason with him in various ways. However, he has simply thrown this back in our faces with all sorts of insults to boot. The bottom line is that Jon Breen’s behaviour does not constitute that of a healthy, loving, caring and empathic human being and certainly not someone whose genuine motive is seeking reasonable and fair accountability for others.
Nothing Mr Breen says or writes about us acknowledges anything positive or praiseworthy, it is 100% about how terrible and awful and dangerous we are to the point of labelling us as some form of destructive cult. Really? If we are such evil, nasty and wicked people, as he claims us to be, then he needs to meet us and hold us accountable; get his lawyers, police, journalists and ‘cult experts’ involved, the more the merrier! We’re open to this and even welcome and encourage such a thing, cults simply aren’t like that! We ask Jon Breen to stop being a coward, to stand behind his convictions, take responsibility and work this out; to find a fair outcome for him, for us and all those vulnerable people we want to see helped in the world.
When we going to meet Jon Breen? Come on be a sport! You have spent so much time over me and us over the last year we have got to be in your interests to meet. I will be nice I promise! 😀 don’t be scared! Love you x

May God bless you and have mercy on you Jon Breen. We continue to pray for you. We know you said that you are a self-proclaimed New Born Atheist, but it is very clear where this nihilistic, meaningless, loveless worldview has left you. We encourage you to look to Christ as healing from the trauma you have suffered can only come through Him.
Jon Breen is someone who hasn’t even met anyone involved in Lighthouse in person. All his hateful messages over all this time show his dark character and which kind of human being he really is. If he invested all his energy into something positive he could have achieved quite a bit in his time! I pray that he finds a way to get out of his destructive place and that he finds his way to reality. I have to think of all those individuals and organisations that are trolled by constructive saboteurs and whose livelihoods, families and businesses are negatively impacted or even destroyed by this kind of behaviour. But there are always consequences of actions and he will feel those as well. So, I hope he will learn to take responsibility for his life and face up to his inner struggles and stop wanting to damage others!
It’s so sad that Jon Breen, a person who has never met any of us at Lighthouse wants to absolutely decimate the lives. The hatred and torment in this man knows no bounds, to the point where he can’t see what’s healthy trying to justify his behaviour. I feel compassion for him, what he went through growing up, what he has faced in his life, to do what he is doing for over a year. It must have been absolutely shocking to him, the torment he faced in his life. Bless you Jon Breen x x
Reading this and having experienced this man’s activity and behaviour online for the last 12-18 months and looking beyond the surface I see a really tragic example of a very ill and incredibly damaged human being. I believe this is obvious to any reasonable, rational, balanced and mentally emotionally healthy human being just by observing his behaviour and through what and how he writes.. Clearly something terribly tragic has happened in his life, likely at a very early age for him to end up this way. I don’t believe that people want to be this kind of person, but I do believe they end up this way because of the choices they make in relation to what they have been through. There are many who go through incredible trauma yet who come out of that in later life as incredibly humble, warm, empathic, caring, wise and loving people. These are not the words I would use to describe Mr Breen though, quite the opposite. When I first found out who he was in real life, when we received a outside tip from someone who obviously had also suffered at his hands (there are many), because he was just an anonymous troll for a long time to start with, and I saw his picture and read what others had researched and apparently found out about him (which does resonate and tie in with his attitude and behaviour), I didn’t feel angry or retributional, I felt a deep sadness and pity. I do pray and wish for people like this to be able to heal and find themselves recovering. I believe that through Christ all things are possible, but until and unless such a thing happens, people like this man need to be confronted and held accountable and others need to be warned of such behaviour.
Wow.. It blows me away to see how consumed this man is with the tyranny and wickedness he inflicts on others online to get significance. How he dedicates so much time and effort to this, various tweets, comments, creating fake profiles not to mention the time in contemplation and reflection on his actions to see how far more he can hurt and bully others. Increasing his potential to sin rather than his potential to care. I wonder where his parents are, what principles he was taught that resulted in this behaviour? Where are his true friends? If he wasn’t hiding behind fake pseudonyms and a pc screen, talking to people like this in a social situation there would be massive concern for his mental health and his wellbeing in general. I pray for him and all those he has affected with his toxic behaviour 🙏

Imagine the good that would be done in the world if people put as much time, effort and passion into caring for each other, as they do hating, destroying and breaking each other down?!
The relentless attack from this man, who has never met us and continually refuses to meet us, is bizarre. We’ve invited him to learn who we really are, whether on neutral ground, or with others present, we’ve even invited him to bring lawyers with him to back up his claims of how awful we are… Yes, he will not act to discover and seek the truth.
Hate destroys, and while he has tried to break us down, the more he hates, the more he is hurting and destroying himself in the process. We don’t know why he has become so bitter and full of rage, but we pray for him and what he has been through to turn him into this vessel of poison.
Sadly, this is becoming more and more prevalent online, where people are attacked for things that aren’t true or because they are seen as weak targets by bullies. This is why healthy community, in the Body of Christ, is so incredibly important in anyone’s life, to help support and stay strong when we need it the most.
James, you have done a real good job writing this article, thank you for your efforts. This man Jon Breen isn’t in a good place, that’s for sure. Something that’s apparent from what I’ve experienced dealing with this man – this is all attention-seeking! His attacks on us are giving him significance, meaning and purpose. For that to be the case, we have to be his enemy in his mind or some wicked underhanded entity or people that he has to put right or destroy for the greater good. That is deeply delusional, thus I’m not filled with hate or fear about this anymore, but compassion, he’s not well to be behaving like this. Though feeling that, he does need to be stopped so I value your article for highlighting the reality of this man and most importantly for people not to fear him. In fact, use this article; link to it if you are attacked by him to show others the state and reality of this man.
I have been absolutely stunned by the relentless, deeply hateful and dark abuse Jon Breen has levelled at Paul Waugh in particular. It feels as though if he has nothing to lose. I say this because he is willing to be apprehended by the law and face all the consequences he has and will, because of his wilful involvement in criminal activity. No matter how much reality, reasoning and attempts to communicate maturely and to resolution, he is either can’t or won’t take up those opportunities. This has been the first time I have ever seen such a deeply broken human being. It is very sad and what’s scary is there are Jon Breen’s everywhere and they are increasing in number!
For the the little boy in him, I pray that he can seek the help he clearly needs to repent, make things right with whoever he needs to and help others to overcome this type of pathology.
Absolutely! This is not just Jon Breen, there are many others like him. The behaviour is obsessive and it’s relentless. Again to repeat he’s never met Paul Waugh or any of us at Lighthouse International Group. There’s no care, there’s no compassion and it’s relentless. It’s psychopathic and we need to ensure they are both held accountable and get the help they need.
Wow, the incredulous acts of such an individual is shocking to say the least, to a group of people who are trying to better themselves every day, through and with Christ, it almost seems, or does seem, rather, barbaric that such claims exist against such a group that is us at Lighthouse International Group. I hope and pray for healing for Mr Jon Breen, it is a sad sad state of affairs to be in such a state, without any love and care and support around you, this is really an example of exactly what happens when that parenting is lacking, which is exactly what we’re all trying to and are healing from here at Lighthouse, and reversing and healing from the damage that’s been done to us and/or that we’ve done to others. Please see the light Mr Breen! It’s never too late. I’ll pray for you and for all of those involved in these malicious and criminal attacks, that are once and for all being resolved now through the hard work and dedication from everyone involved here at Lighthouse, who put this website together, along with the others, thank you. Thank you for your courage and willingness/ability to stand up for those who truly need it, our most vulnerable. Thank you to everyone who put this together, again, a thorough and detailed account of the attacks the last 18 months. God bless us all. Thank you.
Thanks Jessica. One thing that I see in myself is this tendency to treat life like a computer game, like everything is a simulator and nothing is real. This is far from the truth and after spending too many years of my childhood playing games I have had to fill some gaps in myself. But its when we stop seeing human beings as empathic and sentient beings – thats when we lose our humanity and this is a call for compassion and not anger.
I couldn’t agree more, we are working intensely each day to do the work of regeneration with and through Christ. It is the most rewarding and extremely stretching work, so to then have someone who doesn’t even know us to relentlessly attack us, has been hard but our Christ, guides and directs us, we keep watch on Him and how to handle this with poise, dignity, care, empathy and love.
The predatory troll is someone who goes above and beyond just posting annoying messages on social media but they actively pursue to destroy the reputation and wellbeing of their targets. And unfortunately, that’s exactly what we see in Mr Breen. His brazen attacks of other people, not just Lighthouse, are never accompanied by any balance, any fairness and any liaisons done in his own name with his own face and reputation on the line as well. It is a shame to see people online buying into his hatred and bullying. I have seen the hundreds of pages of evidence of thousands of posts he has made attacking Lighthouse International Group, let alone the other people he attacks. Whether he feels justified in doing that or not, he never does so with a personal stake – where his own reputation is on the line to stand the test of getting things wrong. He hides in the shadows to protect himself, so even when he gets it wrong, which he seems to never want to admit, he just moves the goal posts, it never lands on him to deal with the consequences. Mr Breen, we pray for you to take personal responsibility for how you conduct yourself and that you find a healthier way of dealing with the grief and ailment you feel for whatever reason. Destroying others will not help the pain from those who hurt you. I am deeply sorry people have hurt you in your past, but this is not the way. I pray you see that.
Indeed Mel, if only he put as much care and attention on himself, rather than spending hours pouring out vile, malicious and hateful comments onto Lighthouse, our work and our families. I also am praying for God’s grace for him too.
This is not a message just to Jon Breen but rather to anyone who has been through pain and trauma in their lives. I have been through times of my life where I have felt incredible levels of injustice done to me, and when I look at what people have gone through by the hands of their own families – like Jai, Sukh and Paul – I know that in myself I have not even seen the half of human evil that drives people to hurt and damage their loved ones. This is deeply sick and needs the deepest levels of forgiveness. But the days of ‘an eye for an eye’ are gone. Thanks to our Lord we have a way to health – anything else apart from forgiveness just destroys our lives. In the name hurting others we become bitter, twisted and evil. Why would anyone choose that? Now is the time to repent for us ALL.
Agreed Asif – we’ve all done wrong in our life but it’s a case of repenting and making our wrongs right! God bless us all – but continuing to purposely hurt others in the name of good is evil.
It’s just so desperately sad! What must someone have been through in their life to be in a place where they behave so destructively and maliciously towards others, especially those who they have never actually met or had any association with before!? Despite all of Mr Breen’s abuse, what I really appreciate is the compassion shown and appeal to Mr Breen! That is incredibly powerful.
This very sad and hard to read, not just the suffering that Mr Breen’s attacks have caused but also the suffering he too must have experienced that has led him to believe this type of behaviour is ok. Calling Mr Breen out in this way would not have been a quick or easy choice but when someone will not or cannot see reason, when they are hell-bent on causing pain to others, then you have to act because not doing so makes you no better than them.
Having over the last year been involved in compiling some of the evidence for the police, it really is scary the depth of malevolence that Jon Breen has had for Lighthouse. God Bless him too because it is clear that he has suffered an enormous amount of personal pain and his vendetta against Paul Waugh is obsessive, especially for someone he has never met. I pray that Jon Breen finds peace and that he actually learns the absolute truth about the positive and loving work we do here.
Obsessive and relentless – just this last weekend more than 30 Twitter profiles were created specifically to target and sow seeds of doubt and destruction on Paul’s and Lighthouse’s reputation and online presence. That is not normal behaviour!
You have got to look and see the human being through their barking, psychopathic, destructive behaviour. This man is broken. He has been attacking us at Lighthouse relentlessly. I dread to think what this man Jon Breen has gone through to be so destructive. I pray for his healing and for his soul to rest and to be at peace. Those who hate have to hate themselves. I pray for Rani Singh too. What a mess and what a chaotic broken world. Thank you for sharing this page as many are at risk of this man’s destructive behaviour. I pray he repents and finds the desperate healing he needs. In Christ name, I pray. God bless us all X x
This has really helped me. What’s concerning is that this person does not see the destructive nature of his behaviour. The damage inflicted on Jon Breen growing up must have been huge to the extent he harbours so much hatred. Absolutely we must pray for him.
It’s hard sometimes when someone has wished damage on you and your colleagues for so long and is so convinced in his foolishness, it is hard to not take it personally. But God bless him, if it weren’t us, it would be another group of people, family or individual. I really hope that he heals in his heart enough for the glory and wisdom of God to be revealed to him, because for where he is, that knowledge will be withheld from him because he has rejected God (Proverbs 1). I pray he repents this and comes to the comfort and grace of Jesus Christ.
