TRINITY LIFE CHURCH LEICESTER: PRAY FOR CHANGE

I know that after my departure fierce wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; and from among your own selves will arise men speaking twisted things, to draw away the disciples after them. (Acts 20:29-30).

In this short video we see David and Susan Hind of Trinity Life Church Leicester (Assemblies of God) with the same old "revival" mantra that we have heard repeated year on year from charismatic and Pentecostal leaders. They never question why their "revival" mantra never comes to anything.

Susan Hind begins the mantra by quoting the first part of Jeremiah 33:9, which she says, over the years, many people have prayed "over our city". TLC are not particular about accurately quoting the scriptures, and what Susan Hind says does not come from any bible translation that I know of. The ESV translation is below:

And this city shall be to me a name of joy, a praise and a glory before all the nations of the earth who shall hear of all the good that I do for them. They shall fear and tremble because of all the good and all the prosperity I provide for it. (Jeremiah 9:33).

Susan Hind: "Right now the eyes of the world are on Leicester and Leicestershire... so what about if God was about to break in to our city and county?"

David Hind continues with the words from the song "Change" by Bright City:

We can see a change coming
Our God is here to save
We can see a change coming
The streets are filled with praise
We can see a change coming
The church will take her place
We can see a change coming
Revival’s on its way {1} 

David Hind: "God is at work here in Leicestershire."  Hind should be fearful about praying Matthew 6:10: Your kingdom come, your will be done.. He continues: "..and for the name of Jesus to be honored.. Jesus take your place here in Leicestershire." These words are very likely to come back to bite him. God will not bless the false shepherds of the ecumenical movement ~ they will be held accountable. (Ezekiel 34:2-5).

THE QUESTION IS: WILL THEY CHANGE?

In general, the "professing church" seem oblivious to the fact that the present situation may in fact be a judgement from God, not only upon our godless nation, but also upon mainstream apostate "Christian" denominations. These false teachers go through the same old "revival" routine, never mentioning the blood of Jesus or repentance, and never warning the body of Christ about the impending crisis that will come upon the whole world in the shape of the Antichrist. (1 John 2:18).

This is what they do: They take a verse of scripture out of context and make it applicable to their own delusion. In this case Susan Hind inaccurately quotes half a verse of scripture that actually applies to Israel's future restoration.

I have hidden My face from this city because of all its wickedness. Nevertheless, I will bring to it health and healing, and I will heal its people and reveal to them the abundance of peace and truth. I will restore Judah and Israel from captivity and will rebuild them as in former times. And I will cleanse them from all the iniquity they have committed against Me, and will forgive all their sins of rebellion against Me. (Jeremiah 33:5-8).

The entire context of Jeremiah 33 concerns Israel's iniquity and the promise of her final future restoration when Jesus Christ, the Messiah whom they rejected, returns. The time of "cleansing" refers to “the time of Jacob’s trouble” (Jeremiah 30:7) during the great tribulation. Surviving Israel will trust in their Messiah and be grafted back into their own olive tree (Romans 11:24). The apostle Paul writes: And in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written, “The Deliverer will come from Zion, he will banish ungodliness from Jacob”; “and this will be my covenant with them when I take away their sins.” (Romans 11:26-27 cf. Zechariah 12:10, 13:1, 14:4; Matthew 23:39; Acts 3:19-22).

The Hinds attempt to shoe horn Jeremiah 33:9 into some magical "revival" can be found nowhere in the scriptures. At the same time, they choose to ignore essential prophetic material specifically applicable to the last days, warnings that believers urgently need to hear:

As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” And Jesus answered them, “See that no one leads you astray. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are but the beginning of the birth pains. (Matthew 24:3-8)

But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.. while evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. (2 Timothy 3:1-5,13).

And someone said to him, “Lord, will those who are saved be few?” And he said to them, “Strive to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able. (Luke 13:23-24).

The Ticking TLC Time Bomb

Since David Hind's controversial appointment at TLC in 2007, many things have taken root that are contrary to the scriptures. The leadership at TLC have a troubling "carry on regardless" mindset, ignoring both the scriptures and the genuine concerns of godly believers.

• LOTTERY FUNDING = UNGODLY APPROVAL OF GAMBLING

• PREACHING THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST IS PROHIBITED AT OPEN HANDS AS A CONDITION OF RECEIVING BIG LOTTERY FUNDING
• TLC MUST DEMONSTRABLY BELIEVE AND ABIDE BY UNBIBLICAL SECULAR EQUALITY VALUES AS A CONDITION OF SECURING LOTTERY FUNDING
• THEOCRACY: UNBIBLICAL TOP HEAVY LEADERSHIP (ACTS 15:22)
• NEPOTISM: SENIOR FAMILIAL APPOINTMENTS
• ROCK MUSIC VERSUS WORSHIP
• CHURCH GROWTH BASED ON THE MEGA CHURCH CAMPUS MODEL 
• VIOLATION OF THE SCRIPTRUAL BLUEPRINT FOR AUTONOMOUS CONGREGATIONS (ACTS 14:23)
• HOST TO FALSE TEACHER/PROPHET MARK STIBBE IN 2011
• VALIDATION OF ARCH DECEIVER AND NECROMANCER BENNY HINN IN 2014
• INVOLVEMENT WITH ECUMENICAL CHURCHES TOGETHER IN 2014
• ECUMENICAL ALPHA COURSE 
• ENDORSEMENT OF ECUMENIST BILLY GRAHAM
• ENDORSEMENT OF SMITH WIGGLESWORTH'S FALSE END TIME REVIVAL PROPHECY
• ADAM SIMMONDS ILLEGAL REMOVAL OF TWO OF MY POSTS IN FEBRUARY 2014
• BLATANT SATANIC 666 DISPLAY AT OPEN HANDS 6 DEGREES COFFEE HOUSE

David Hind's early compromise with ecumenism continues to be an issue as he participates with more than 100 churches in the ecumenical event ~ Praying For Leicestershire. {2} True believers should "mark and avoid" those leaders/churches that have taken part in this event, some of whom are named below:

Mark Pasimupindu - Church For All Nations International
Josh Gardiner - Associate Pastor KingsGate Community Church
Andrew Upton - Knighton Free Church
Elaine Sutherland - Vicar Holy Trinity Church
John McGinley - Associate Vicar Holy Trinity Church/New Wine leader
Martyn Snow - Bishop of Leicester
David Hind - Trinity Life Church
Susan Hind - Trinity Life Church
Odeh Akatu - Trinity Life Church
Rachel Bhanu - Chroma Church

I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. (Romans 16:17).

Agu Irukwu, the Churches Together movement, and the coming Satanic deception.

THE ABUSIVE JESUS ARMY CULT: MORE ANTICS COME TO LIGHT!

SPECIAL REPORT: Jesus Army workers facing large pensions gap because church did not pay their National Insurance

By Paul Lynch

Northampton Chronicle and Echo

8th August 2019

Ian and Jeannie Johnson are calling for National Insurance contributions

 to be paid back to former Jesus Army members.

Dozens of former Jesus Army (JA) residents who toiled day and night to look after one of the organisation’s many communal houses are facing having to take reduced pensions – as their elders chose not to pay their National Insurance.

In May, the Christian sect formed in Bugbrooke announced plans to disband following a wave of abuse allegations – exclusively revealed to be more than 100-strong by this newspaper back in 2017.

                       Preacher Noel Stanton set up the religious sect throughout the 1970s.

A group of ex-members known as the Jesus Fellowship Survivors Association are leading an effort to see those abused sexually, physically, financially and spiritually compensated by the church.

But among those making claims against the church are people who looked after the communal Jesus Army houses around the country – many of which were in Northampton.

The church made part of its revenue through a number of business ventures – such as a large potato farm in Nether Heyford and a building services contractor. Several ex-members who worked on the farm as children have described the work as ‘slave labour’ as they did not actually receive a wage, it was ploughed into the common purse.

The so-called employees had their National Insurance contributions paid by the church elders.

New Creation Farm in Nether Heyford, where many of the Jesus Army members lived in a secluded community.

But the Chronicle & Echo has now learned that dozens of members who maintained the church’s many communal houses did not have those contributions paid for a number of years – as they were not originally classed as having a job.

Often their daily life involved long, strenuous hours catering for up to 30 housemates at a time. In the 1980s it was agreed that they should, in fact, be classed as workers.

But for many there had already been a significant gap in their National Insurance contributions.

Ian Johnson founded the JA’s Goodness Foods bakery in Daventry only to leave during the 1980s out of principle. His wife Jeannie was among those affected.

                             The entire Jesus Army estate is said to be worth close to 60 million.

“For people, we know this has had a dramatic effect,” he said.

“One person I know is 70 and has had to get an extra job because of the shortage in their pension. My wife should have been paid another five years’ worth of contributions. That would have been at about £1,000 a year. That’s a lot of money.

“I know of at least four people this is affecting and there could be dozens more.”

Mr Johnson, 70, who now runs a successful lettings business on Crete, has urged the Jesus Army to fill in the National Insurance payment gaps for the communal house workers.

“People that lived in the communes were basically being looked after as if they lived in a hotel.”

These workers should have been classed as employees.”

Mr Johnson is calling on the Jesus Army to make up the pension shortfall as part of the ongoing redress scheme but he says the organisation is yet to give him firm answers on whether this will be the case.

There are currently more than 100 claims being made against the religious sect – papers seen by the Chronicle and Echo show its asset value to be about £58 million.

The Jesus Army still owns 55 properties, according to the leaked papers. Many of the properties are communal houses – though there are currently only 200 people believed to still be living in them.

The Jesus Army Battlecentre in London is listed as being worth £13 million ‘dependant on planning caveats’.

Mr Johnson believes the Jesus Army – a registered charity aimed at helping the needy – has a moral duty to compensate the commune workers.

“People who lived in the communes were basically being looked after as if they lived in a hotel,” he said. “These workers should have been classed as employees.”

A spokesman for the Jesus Army said the redress scheme would “soon be open to sympathetically deal with the claims of people who consider that they had a bad experience in connection with the church.”

He said that extended to “people with money concerns” such as those whose National Insurance contributions were not paid.

The Jesus Fellowship Survivors Association is working with the church to compensate victims of abuse. A spokeswoman said: “We have heard, and are still hearing, many stories like Ian’s.

"We are pushing hard for restitution of financial harm to be included alongside a redress scheme being set up in conjunction with the JFCT (Jesus Fellowship Community Trust).

"As part of this involvement, we are putting pressure on the JFCT to do the right thing, morally, regarding financial redress for adults.

“Whilst working with the redress scheme we are also working with solicitors to bring group civil actions.”

CHE AHN CONFERENCE: ST JOHN THE BAPTIST CHURCH LEICESTER MAY 2019

St John the Baptist C of E Church Leicester
Friday 17th and 18th May: Ché Ahn Revival Night and Conference
Organised by Holy Trinity Church
https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/revival-night-with-che-ahn-tickets-59413580619

The New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) continues to make a negative impact on biblical Christianity here in Leicester. Of particular note are Holy Trinity Church Leicester (CofE), All Nations Church Leicester and Trinity Life Church Leicester (AOG Pentecostal). (Romans 16:17). The NAR is a large network of ecumenical churches that has developed out of the Pentecostal/charismatic movement. Its main aim is to restore the so called "five fold ministry" i.e. the restoration of church governance, namely the office of Apostle and Prophet to the 21st century church. This aim is linked to the "seven mountain mandate" aka "dominion theology", the NAR's pro active efforts to bring about a worldwide revival and establish a one world church on the earth prior to the return of Jesus. In actuality the NAR scenario represents the rule of the Antichrist. (Revelation 13:12). At its core, the NAR denies the sufficiency of scripture whilst reversing the biblical warnings of an end time falling away. (Matthew 24:10; Acts 20:29).

Ché Ahn is a big name within this movement. He is the successor of C Peter Wagner, the purported founder of the NAR and President of Global Harvest Ministries from 1993 to 2011. Ché Ahn is the Senior Pastor of "apostolic center" HRock Church in Pasadena CA and also the Founder and "Presiding Apostle" over Harvest International Ministry, an "apostolic network" of over 25,000 churches and ministries worldwide. Ché Ahn: "I have been given the unique opportunity to be an apostle to apostles. This is because of the specific anointing of God on my life." {1}

As "Presiding Apostle", Ché Ahn has a position of unique authority over the direction of the thousands of churches under his jurisdiction. This differs drastically from the New Testament model of church structure as outlined by the Apostle Paul. The newly formed New Testament churches were autonomous congregations with a plurality of local overseers directing their own specific affairs. Paul instructed Titus to ..appoint elders in every town as I directed you. (Titus 1:5; cf. Acts 14:23). NAR apostles and prophets claim to have power to overrule pastors and elders because of their claims to receive direct revelation from God.

Ché Ahn met the pope in 2016 with other NAR leaders

According to Ché Ahn: " The 1994 revival in Toronto restored the office of the apostle with the birth of many apostolic networks, including John and Carol Arnott’s Partners in Harvest, Rick Joyner’s MorningStar, Bill Johnson’s Global Legacy, Heidi and Rolland Baker’s Iris Ministries and our church’s own Harvest International Ministry.” {2}

During the so called "Lakeland Revival" in 2008, 32 year old deceiver and NAR "evangelist" Todd Bentley took part in an "Alignment Ceremony", during which "apostles" Ché Ahn, Bill Johnson and John Arnott laid hands on him. C Peter Wagner presided over the ceremony and read a lengthy statement about the need for apostolic alignment, i.e. submission to the authority of "apostles". Various "apostles" representing ICA, Revival Alliance, and Morning Star (Rick Joiner) stood on the platform to demonstrate their support for Bentley. Just days after this bizarre ceremony, Todd Bentley was exposed as an adulterer. None of the numerous miracles and healings that were reported to have taken place at Lakeland, including raising from the dead, can be verified! Despite the obvious issues, Ché Ahn and his dubious associates continue to claim apostolic authority over large sections of the church, and incredibly they are accepted as such by many! The Todd Bentley Fakeland fiasco hardly needs recounting in detail, it has been very well documented.

Apostolic Authority Based on Ephesians 4:11-13.

11And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, 12to equip (καταρτισμὸν) the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, 13until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, 14so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes.

C Peter Wagner translated katartizō: "Aligning. literally setting a broken bone or a chiropractic adjustment.. That means putting things in order so that the body functions as it was designed to function." 

Strong's translation: 2675 katartízō (from 2596 /katá, "according to, down," intensifying artizō, "to adjust," which is derived from 739 /ártios, "properly adjusted") – properly, exactly fit (adjust) to be in good working order, i.e. adjusted exactly "down" to fully function. {3}

Wagner's translation was not incorrect, apart from the fact that he related it to the restoration of present day "apostles". My contention is that these present day "apostles and prophets" deviate from the original foundation that was set up by Jesus Christ. In Bill Johnson's words, they go "off map", i.e. they claim that God communicates new revelations directly through them. In this way, they contradict Jesus' apostles teaching as set out in the scriptures. In doing so they invalidate themselves as sound biblical teachers. (1 John 4:1).

Che Ahn: "When I use the term modern-day apostle, I am not comparing today’s apostles with the apostles of yesteryear. I am highlighting the fact that apostles are not relegated to yesteryear. They not only exist today, they play a critical role in bringing about revival and reformation." {4}

Typically, Che Ahn puts himself on a par with the original apostles, but this contradicts the foundation already laid:

19So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, 20built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, 21in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. 22In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit. (Ephesians 2:19-22).

11For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw— 13each one’s work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done.

St John the Baptist Church (CofE) is the latest of the churches in Leicester to fall foul of the New Apostolic Reformation. St John's ties with Holy Trinity Church in Leicester appears to be responsible for the shift. In late 2014, a team of people from Holy Trinity Leicester joined St John's to "strengthen the church’s mission and ministry." {5}

Suffice to say that St John's run the Alpha Course which has been described as an attempt to introduce the false doctrines and practices of the Third Wave into mainstream denominations. {6}

St John's Head of Logistics is Adam Simmonds, the much criticised former PCC of Northamptonshire, whose overspending and unwholesome policies have pretty much all been reversed by his successor, Stephen Mold. {7}

Simmonds was also the Director and Trustee of Trinity Life Church in Leicester from January 2013 – April 2014. As part of my exposé of TLC's unbiblical practices, I wrote a number of posts about Simmonds' toxic influence over the weak minded apostate leaders of that church. {8}

ADAM SIMMONDS AND TRINITY LIFE CHURCH LEICESTER ONGOING CONCERNS

Adam Simmonds, Northamptonshire's first Police and Crime Commissioner, was elected on 15 November 2012. The events surrounding Simmonds' term as PCC were quite extraordinary to put it mildly. He quickly gained a reputation for cronyism and overspending. In particular, his questionable plan to sell Wootton Hall in Northampton at less than half its value was just one of his bad ideas. Thankfully this decision has finally been reversed by Stephen Mold, Simmonds successor. The BCC reported on the 29th of October that the sale of Northamptonshire Police HQ was cancelled because it "did not represent value for money".

"A report from the office of Northamptonshire PCC Stephen Mold criticised plans by his predecessor Adam Simmonds to sell Wootton Hall.

Mr Simmonds valued the site at £3.45m, but Mr Mold said it had been consistently valued at more than £7m.

The BBC has approached Mr Simmonds, also a Conservative, for a comment.

Mr Simmonds, who was the county's first PCC between 2012 until 2016, argued Wootton Hall was not fit-for-purpose and that selling it would save £40m over 25 years.

  Image caption Stephen Mold (left) revised the sell-off plans of his predecessor Adam Simmonds (right)

The decision to sell the building was signed-off on his final day in office.
'Concerned'

The land was acquired by the Education Funding Agency, with a view to it being used for Wootton Park School - a state-funded free school offering a specialised policing and public service-focused curriculum.

However, the terms of the deal were revised less than a year later by Mr Mold, although a section of the site - previously occupied by flats - was eventually sold for £2.85m to accommodate the school, which opened in 2016.

In a report published by the Office of the PCC, auditor KPMG said Mr Simmonds' plans were not supported by a detailed business case and had not been fully costed.

Mr Mold said he was "concerned" that "the operational impact on policing" from selling Wootton Hall "had not been fully understood or planned for, nor sufficient arrangements put in place for the relocation of police headquarters".

He said: "It was also clear to me that the sale did not represent value-for-money, either for the force or taxpayers."

Mr Mold said a new plan would see the site redeveloped as a joint police and fire headquarters." {1}

Stephen Mold also put an abrupt end to Simmonds' Interfaith Programme, the controversial Northamptonshire Police Office of Faith Based and Community Initiatives (OFBCI). {2}

In 2016 the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) investigated claims that Simmonds had breached the Data Protection Act by disclosing "sensitive" information relating to a criminal investigation to third parties between November 7, 2013 and May 1, 2014. {3}The IPCC subsequently passed the findings of its inquiry to The Crown Prosecution Service and Simmonds was charged with breaching the Data Protection Act and misconduct in public office. {4} The jury at Southwark Crown Court failed to reach a verdict after more than 12 hours of deliberations. The CPS later determined it was "not in the public interest to hold a retrial", and Mr Justice Nicholas Green directed a not guilty verdict. {5} Simmonds did not stand for re-election in May of 2016, although he denied the IPCC inquiry was the reason.

Simmonds' term of unrighteousness lasted for 3 years 7 months, during which time there were at least four petitions against him as well as the No-more-Simmonds community on Facebook, {6} and also retired Northamptonshire Police Officer Justin Brown's former website, www.justintelligence.net.

Simmonds' claim to be a "committed Christian" in tatters!

Last but not least, Simmonds' former position as Director and Trustee of Trinity Life Church in Leicester was also very troubling. Open Hands Trust, the so called "compassion charity" of Trinity Life Church in Leicester, were "lucky" enough to receive, a large lottery award of £446626 in 2014. Was it a coincidence that Open Hands' lottery award was granted during Simmonds' position as Director and Trustee of TLC? TLC is a Pentecostal Assemblies of God Church claiming to be "biblical". However I have proved a number of times that TLC's dubious practices as a wannabe megachurch do not represent biblical Christianity at all! Open Hands' lottery grant has enabled TLC to gain a significant foothold over the vulnerable and homeless people of Leicester. This is very concerning considering the recent abuse cases against TLC's partner, the former Jesus Army cult, now Leicester Jesus Centre/Jesus Fellowship, an organisation that Simmonds also had connections with.

Following the publication of my posts concerning Open Hands' lottery award, Simmonds took the unprecedented action of removing two of my posts from Blogger. I believe that this action was illegal for a number of reasons. However, despite considerable efforts to obtain information both from the Police Complaints Commission and Google, I was unable to resolve this issue satisfactorily. After taking advice, I republished these two posts unedited without a further problem! It appears that I was not the only person who suffered from Simmonds censorship:

Justin Brown: "It seems my previous post about censorship by Adam Simmonds has itself been censored by Facebook. I have not been contacted by Facebook explaining the reasons why or who the request to remove the content was from.

Like many other folk I have had comments posted onto the on line version of the Chronicle and Echo removed in relation to Adam Simmonds. I have had no notification as to the reason why despite writing to the editor personally seeking clarification. From my previous FOIA request to the OPCC we know Simmonds office has requested the removal of such comments. I have submitted a new FOIA request to the OPCC seeking answers, along with a request to Facebook asking why posts on this forum are now being censored.

I also note blogs critical of Simmonds posted elsewhere on the web have recently been censored."

Simmonds was once described as "A young man in a hurry", by the Guardian. {7}

In a hurry, no doubt, but his destination is debatable! (Matthew 23:33).

These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren. (Proverbs 6:16-19)

Simmonds now seems to have found a position better suited to his ecumenical inclinations as Head of Logistics at St John the Baptist Church in Leicester (CofE). Disturbingly, he is currently Foundation Governor St John the Baptist Primary School also in Leicester. {8}

I look forward to critiquing Simmonds' book 'Being First' in due course.

FORMER PCC ADAM SIMMONDS UNHOLY MEDDLER!

The jury in the trial of Adam Simmonds, former Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) was discharged last week. Simmonds is accused, as per section 55, of knowingly or recklessly breaching the Data Protection Act (DPA) by disclosing "sensitive" information to third parties. The jury at Southwark Crown Court failed to reach a verdict after more than 12 hours of deliberations. A retrial will now be considered according to the BBC. {1}





Simmonds denied recklessly breaching the DPA by passing on details of a fraud probe involving Wellingborough MP Peter Bone. Simmonds, of Northcote Road Leicester, admitted having conversations about the investigation with a number of Conservative colleagues, including Mr Ellis, Daventry MP Christopher Heaton-Harris, former Wellingborough Borough Council leader Paul Bell and the then Northampton Borough Council leader David Mackintosh. The case against Mr Bone was subsequently dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service in March 2014. Simmonds claimed that he thought it was within his remit to repeat confidential details saying he believed that the information was in the public domain. {2}

As Simmonds held a position in a public office, the alleged offence can constitute to misconduct while in public office. If he is found guilty of both offences, it is likely that he will have to pay fines imposed by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). {3}

Simmonds period as PCC from 2012-2016 was one that many people in Northamptonshire remember as an extremely troubling time. Within just three weeks of his appointment, he was accused of "hiring friends" including his election campaign manager and "best friend" Kathryn Buckle. In particular, the complaints were that the jobs were supposed to be non-political and no interviews were held. Those appointed included four assistant commissioners, on a salary of £65,000. Response to a Freedom of Information request showed that Simmonds had 12 staff in his office at an annual cost of £729,100.

A year after his election, Simmonds office costs of £1m for 17 staff were unfavourably compared by the Police Federation with the former police authority spending of £865k, when cuts were being made elsewhere in the force. £21m is being cut over 4 years from an annual budget of £120m and the Police Federation claims police number have been cut from 1265 to 1220. In response, Simmond's office said the commissioner's role was wider than that of the old police authority. By 31 March 2014, the number of staff employed by Simmonds had risen to 34, at a cost of £1.4 million. {4}

Simmonds' plans to relocate the Northamptonshire Police headquarters at Wootton Hall and to convert the site to a free school was possibly the most controversial of his unholy schemes. These plans met with unprecedented criticism by both the Police Federation and the public. Simmonds claim to be independent of the Northampton Free School Trust blatantly contradicted various pieces of evidence to the contrary, giving the marked impression that he actually created the Trust:

".....incidentally Simmonds claimed to have created the 'Northampton Free School Trust' on his personal website consisted of ex colleagues, a fellow conservative MP and county councillor."

"Simmonds' personal website (now closed) contained the statement 'Early on in my first term I created the Northampton Free School Trust.'"

"An FOI request showed that Simmonds and members of his office were behind the school - conveniently the link was closed!" {5}

Retired Policeman calls for public inquiry into OPCC and Wootton Park School:
".. I believe the PCC has misled the public regarding both his own and his office involvement with the creation of both the trust and School. I remain very concerned and suspicious that the PCC arrived in office with a prepared agenda for the Police headquarters, I don't believe its sale or intended use is either to help create a more efficient Police service or is justified as part of a wider crime tackling plan." {6}   

Stephen Mold, the current Northamptonshire PCC, is in the process of "rectifying" Simmonds questionable deal involving the sale of Wootton Hall. Mold announced in March that his Office is in advanced negotiations with the Education Funding Agency (EFA) to revise the terms of the sale of part of Wootton Hall, in a move that would see the joint Northamptonshire Police and Fire Headquarters remain on the site.

Police and Commissioner for Northamptonshire, Stephen Mold:

“The issue around the sale of Northamptonshire Police’s current headquarters is one that I wish I hadn’t had to inherit on my first day of entering Office and I am sorry it is a process that has taken so much time and effort to rectify. However, entering negotiations with the Education Funding Agency is a significant milestone in remedying this complex issue once and for all..

“Since I was elected as Police and Crime Commissioner, it has been my job to make sure that this situation is resolved in a manner that secures the best possible outcome for citizens of the county, and I believe that any revised agreement with the EFA would represent a win-win solution for all involved."

Simon Edens, Chief Constable of Northamptonshire Police:

“The Police and Crime Commissioner has sought my views on our operational requirements and he has announced his intention to retain Wootton Hall, effectively reversing his predecessor’s decision to sell it. We would keep it as our headquarters.." {7}

Stephen Mold also put an abrupt end to Simmonds' interfaith programme, the controversial Northamptonshire Police Office of Faith Based and Community Initiatives (OFBCI). {8}

Simmonds dubious activities were not limited to Northamptonshire. Open Hands Trust, the "compassion charity" of Trinity Life Church in Leicester, applied for, and were "lucky" enough to receive, a large lottery award of £446626 during Simmonds' position as Director and Trustee. Acceptance of this filthy lucre (1 Timothy 3:3) put TLC in a position of severe spiritual compromise due to their confessed faith in Jesus Christ and their stated fundamental biblical stance. (1 Timothy 6:10). I am pretty sure that Jesus Christ does not approve of gambling or profiting from gambling. In any event, TLC/Open Hands took their thirty pieces of silver. (Matthew 26:15). Open Hands have since gone from strength to strength with their "charity" ..or should I call it a business?

Following the publication of my posts concerning the spiritual demise of TLC and their "lucky" lottery award in 2014, Simmonds took the unprecedented action of removing two of my posts from Blogger. I believed this action to be illegal, but despite my considerable efforts to obtain information both from the Police Complaints Commission and Google, I was unable to resolve this issue satisfactorily. I subsequently republished these two posts unedited without a further problem. Mr Bone clearly has friends and influence in high places to have successfully taken on Simmonds where I failed!

Since their unholy lottery award, TLC have never disentangled themselves from the snare of the devil. (1 Timothy 3:7). In particular, they seem unable to kick the habit of parading the number of the beast. (Revelation 13:18). The infamous 666 is a number that sincere Christians would never wish to be associated with, but not TLC! It is quite a common occurrence to see 666 blatantly displayed at TLC's 6 Degrees Coffee House! {9} David Hind has attempted to explain the number six away to the more gullible members of his congregation as "the number of man". He is right. In whatever way six is mathematically represented, it signifies man's corruption and imperfection without God. When it is tripled, it is the number of the beast. One could no longer possibly call TLC a "church" ..it has been transformed into a family empire and a cult, thanks to the foolishness of David Hind and his cohorts. {10}

The entity called Adam Simmonds is clearly a man who is ahead of his time - he seems to have mishandled his unholy calling! (1 John 2:18). I wonder if he still likes making sermons!

 Coven or Coffee House? Jeremy Corbyn looks slightly bemused!

Hidden in plain sight!

UPDATE 28th July 2017

No retrial for ex-PCC over MP police probe. {11}

ADAM SIMMONDS FORMER PCC FURTHER COURT APPEARANCE AND TRINITY LIFE CHURCH LEICESTER 666

But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people. (2 Timothy 3:1-5)

Former Northamptonshire PCC Adam Simmonds appeared in court again today over claims he leaked information relating to a criminal investigation into Tory MP Peter Bone. Simmonds has been given a provisional trial date in August next year on a charge of breaching data protection. During the hearing, it was revealed that ".....prosecutors are ready to call a number of MPs, a mayor, and a former chief constable to give evidence against Simmonds." Simmonds was granted unconditional bail ahead of a preliminary hearing at Southwark Crown Court on January 23. {1} It seems that Simmonds unpopularity is not limited to the general public, i.e. those mere mortals who took the brunt of his arrogance and suffered the effects of his unrighteous behaviour. I refer particularly to his cronyism, his overspending, the questionable circumstances surrounding the sale of Wootton Hall,{2} and not least, his despicable ecumenical agenda (Amos 5:21). God alone knows the extent of the evil he perpetrated at Trinity Life Church in Leicester in his former role as Director and Trustee.

Ironically, shortly after his election in 2012, Simmonds described himself as 'the George Washington of the system' in a Guardian interview. {3} According to several historical records, George Washington was known to be a man of great honour and personal integrity with real Christian commitment. The comparison does not bear scrutiny, but I will let my readers decide what sort of man Simmonds is.

666 IN PLAIN SIGHT

Simmonds was responsible for removing two of my posts critiquing Trinity Life Church in 2014. I was blocked in all my efforts to ascertain the details of his actions despite appealing to the IPCC! The PCC informed me that it did not require supporting evidence and I was left asking the question: How can anyone effectively “investigate” a matter without evidence other than the subjects word? {4}It would be good if this matter were re-opened, but without connections like MP Peter Bone, I think it extremely unlikely that I shall get any justice in this lifetime. I have since republished my posts about Trinity Life Church, who continue their decline into apostasy, even going so far as to blatantly sport Satan's favourite number, 666, at their infamous 6 Degrees Coffee House! (Revelation 13:18). {5}

Previous Report:

Former Northants police boss accused of revealing information about Wellingborough MP
By Northampton Herald & Post | Posted: October 18, 2016

"Northamptonshire's first ever Police and Crime Commissioner appeared in court today (Tuesday) accused of passing information about Wellingborough MP Peter Bone.
Adam Simmonds, aged 39, denied disclosing information relating to a criminal investigation into the Conservative MP when he appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court.
The alleged breach took place between November 2013 and May 2014, when Simmonds was still in his role as Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC), and is said to involve him passing the information to colleagues inside the Conservative Party.
Simmonds was elected in 2012, describing himself shortly afterwards in a Guardian interview as 'the George Washington of the system'.
He served until 2016, when he was replaced by fellow Conservative Stephen Mold.
John Law, prosecuting, said: 'This is a case relating to the disclosure of information regarding a criminal investigation into a then and current Member of Parliament.
'This was done by this defendant having received information in his capacity as Police and Crime Commissioner and passing it to a number of colleagues in the Conservative Party between the dates that we have heard.
'It is plainly serious to disclose this information and plainly in breach of trust as a public servant, as he received this information in a professional capacity.
Simmonds, of Northcote Road, in Leicester, denies one count of breaching the Data Protection Act.
He was granted unconditional bail ahead of a preliminary hearing at Southwark Crown Court on November 15." {6}

adam simmonds: former northamptonshire pcc and director of trinity life church in leicester charged by crown prosecution service

Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but he who makes his ways crooked will be found out. (Proverbs 10:9) 

Former Northamptonshire Police and Crime Commissioner, Adam Simmonds, has been charged by the Crown Prosecution Service with breaching the Data Protection Act.

"The Crown Prosecution Service announced the decision in a statement released on Friday afternoon.
A spokesperson said: 'After a thorough review of the evidence we have decided to charge Adam Simmonds with one offence of breaching the Data Protection Act 1998.
'The case met the test set out in the Code for Crown Prosecutors that there is a realistic prospect of a conviction and it is in the public interest.
'Mr Simmonds’ lawyers have been informed,' the statement added.
 No date has yet to be set for a court appearance."{1}

Adam Simmonds (Conservative) was elected in 2012 and was Northamptonshire's first Police and Crime Commissioner. The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) investigated claims that Simmonds breached the Data Protection Act by disclosing "sensitive" information relating to a criminal investigation to third parties in 2013 and committed an offence of misconduct in public office.{2} The IPCC has passed the findings of its inquiry to The Crown Prosecution Service. Simmonds did not stand for re-election in May of this year, though he denied the IPCC inquiry was the reason.

During his incumbency as PCC, Simmonds attracted many allegations/complaints relating to undemocratic actions. Amongst them were cronyism, abuse of power, lack of transparency, misconduct in public office, autocracy, massive overspending,{3} and not least, the very dubious role he played in the purchase of Wootton Hall.{4}

An unprecedented number of petitions were launched against Simmonds during his incumbency:

Do not accept the application for 'Wootton Park School' Northampton: https://www.change.org/p/department-for-education-do-not-accept-the-application-for-wootton-park-school-northampton

Hands Off Northamptonshire Police 999 Service! https://you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/hands-off-northamptonshire-police-999-service

My own particular bone of contention with Simmonds began when he removed two of my posts concerning Trinity Life Church (TLC) in 2014. {5} I still believe that he took this action illegally, though my attemps to ascertain the true facts of the matter were unsuccessful!

Simmonds, who claims to be a "Christian", is a former Director and Trustee of TLC in Leicester which is a Pentecostal Assemblies of God church. They profess biblical Christian values, though you would not notice! It is unclear whether Simmonds still attends TLC, but I believe his influence upon that congregation has been very damaging indeed. Having said that, had the leadership of TLC been true to the faith they profess, they would not have allowed Simmonds' worldly values to gain a foothold. What part Simmonds played in TLC's lottery funding for their Open Hands charity in November 2013 is unknown. Simmonds was a Director of Open Hands Trust from 2008-2012.{6}  I believe that TLC failed a very important test of faith when they allied themselves with Simmonds and all the temptations that association brought with it!

"The Open Hands Trust has been granted £446,626 after receiving support from Voluntary Action Leicestershire (VAL) with their bid for Big Lottery Reaching Communities funding." Release date 12th of November 2013. {7} 

Ecumenist, Adam Simmonds has done much to bring true biblical Christianity into disrepute. We will possibly never know the full extent of the spiritual damage he has wreaked (1 Corinthians 4:5; Ecclesiastes 12:14). We should be very thankful that the controversial Northamptonshire Police Office of Faith Based and Community Initiatives (OFBCI) set up by Simmonds in January 2014 was very quickly wound down by Stephen Mold, Simmonds successor.{8}

Many in Northamptonshire regard Adam Simmonds as an experience they would rather forget, though his legacy continues. It will be good to see a little bit of justice, if indeed Simmonds is found guilty of the charge! A spokesman for the Crown Prosecution Service confirmed that Simmonds' first court hearing will be at Westminster Magistrates Court in London on Tuesday, October 18.{9}

..... and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed. (2 Peter 2:2)

UPDATE 18th October 2016

Callum Jones of the Daventry Express reported that Former Northamptonshire Police and Crime Commissioner Adam Simmonds has appeared in court today accused of disclosing personal data about Wellingborough MP Peter Bone: 

"Simmonds, aged 39, of Northcote Road, Leicester, appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court today (Tuesday) after he was charged with breaching the Data Protection Act.
The court heard Simmonds is alleged to have "knowingly or recklessly" disclosed personal data relating to Mr Bone between November 7, 2013 and May 1, 2014.

Mark Harries, defending for Simmonds, indicated that his client would plead not guilty to the charge and the case was sent to Southwark Crown Court.

The case will be heard at the Crown Court on November 15. Simmonds, who spoke only to confirm his name, date of birth and address, was given unconditional bail."{10}
