WHAT IS THE HUMAN COST PAID BY LEF WORKERS BECAUSE OF THE GREED AND WICKEDNESS OF FIRST FAMILY AND ITS STOOGES

We would like to draw the attention of our readers to understand how innocent people are caught up in the mess the first family and its stooges are creating.
Money and property are the root of all evil in LEF. Nobody in LEF leadership cares if LEF money is thrown in the gutter. There is no accountability or fear that people will get caught for making wrong decisions. If push comes to shove and if they fear that their fraud will come out they cook up a story against people who try to question them and pack them off.
Here is an account of an evangelist and his family who are caught in this mess LEF created for them. This family is torn into pieces because of the wickedness of the rogue lady head and her stooges
----------------------------------------------------------
LEF decided to buy a property in a place called Nalgonda. The evangelist at the time Mr. Gideon was asked to look around for properties. Mr. Gideon sincerely takes up the job and gives the person in-charge from Hyderabad Gnankalanjiam three or four options, one which is buying out the place that LEF is presently leasing. Gnankalanjiam tells Mr.Gideon that he need not interfere in the property matters as big people from HQ will take care of the purchase. Gnankalanjiam gave directive to Mr.Gideon not to discuss any of this even with his wife, Mrs. Grace Gideon. How low can men like Gnanakalanjiam stoop to tell people not to share stuff with their wives? Did he even wonder if his wife may be hiding her dark secrets from him just because some other big dog in LEF told her not to share her secrets with her pastor husband. 
One fine day, Mr.Gideon gets a call from the big dogs to come to the registrar's office to finalize the sale. Mr.Gideon meets Gnankalanjiam (GK), Immanuel Chakravarthy (IC), Yohan and a lawyer at the registrar and is shocked to find out that they are buying a property with litigation. This was the last choice Mr. Gideon gave as this plot of land is in a residential area, does not have a proper road access and is a stone's throw from another local church. To top it all this land did not have legal clearance due to family disputes involving the property. When he tried to protest, he was snubbed and these three big men registered the land on LEF name and left. From reliable sources we have confirmation that this land was bought for 28 lak rupees (close to USD 50,000). Not sure how much cut each of them got on this deal.

In the meanwhile the biggest scandal of LEF, IC's scandal with Parimala was coming to light. Since Mr. Gideon's son and daughter who are in Gummudipundi area in Madras had first hand information about this scandal, IC was already plotting to remove Gideons from Nalgonda. Gideon's daugher is directly under the influence of Parimala and this poor child has been manipulated and was abused beyond belief by Parimala and IC. As Parimala and IC were scared that all their dark secrets will come out if Gideon's daughter opens her mouth, they have used every possible blackmailing technique possible to separate this girl from her parents and her brother. All of this separation of Mrs. Gideon's daughter from her own parents and brother was done under the supervision of Lily Daniel, John Daniel and Gunalan and other rogues of LEF. The wickedness of Lily Daniel is so great that she did not allow Gideon's daughter to get her mother's help for the child birth. What will Lily Daniel, the monster know what kind of help a girl needs from her parents and especially from a mom during child birth. God had cursed Lily Daniel for all the havoc she has created in the lives of hundreds of girls. Her oldest daughter is childless even after marrying three men and we see the other daughter tagging along with the mom without a man to stand by her to protect her. In the zero sum game of life, what goes around will come around. 

As this property deal was shady, it was imperative that Mr.Gideon be moved out of Nalgonda. IC with the help of Parimala created false allegations against Mr. Gideon and his wife that they stole God's money.. As cheap and as deplorable as their practices are, IC, GK,Yohan spread rumors that Mr. Gideon's daughter was the one who told Lily Daniel that her parents stole money from offerings. Lily Daniel, John Daniel, Parimala, IC and Gunalan and many other rogues of LEF were successful in separating Gideon's daughter from her parents and her brother. Lily Daniel and Parimala schemed and schemed and spread stories that Gideon's daughter came and told them that her parents stole God's money. To this day Lily Daniel is painting the town against Gideons with these lies. 

Within hours of spreading this rumor with the blessing of Joshua Daniel, a letter that was signed by late Joshua Daniel was sent to Mr. Gideon that he is transferred to Pakala and his family needs to wait in Pakala for six months till things are sorted out. Mr. Gideon and his wife not knowing what hit them from where and also after being humiliated that his family stole money had to pack overnight and move to Pakala. 

IC, GK, Gunalan and Yohan conspired together and sent an email again signed by Late Joshua Daniel to a retired engineer to take care of Nalgonda ministry. Now the story of this man, Baburao from Hyderabad is another end of the spectrum. This man has a sickly wife and all his children live abroad. It is interesting to note that all his three children walked out of LEF and are married outside LEF circles and all his children are dead against LEF. His daughter is married to a Hindu Brahmin and Baburao and his wife against all LEF rules have been maintaining more than cordial relationships with the daughter's family and also his sons' families who married outside LEF. It is ironic that these LEF rogues forgot all their glorified LEF rules to ask this engineer to come and take care of Nalgonda ministry. It is even more ironic that Baburao who retired with a hefty pension was asked to replace Mr&Mrs.Gideon who gave up their secular jobs (Mr. Gideon was APSTRC driver instructor and Mrs. Gideon was a head constable) some 30+ years ago to commit themselves for full time ministry. It almost looks like the rogues of LEF have re-written the rules to replace the evangelists (who have sacrificed all that they have to become full time workers) with people in secular jobs or retired men like Baburao who can support themselves without depending on LEF for money. Now LEF doesn't have to even give that Rs.3000/- they give as allowance to these families. It looks like a great cost cutting strategy. It is also a well known fact that some of these retired men bribe Lily Daniel to get their own centers. Not sure what is the going price for a center like Nalgonda!!!
What happened after Gideons were kicked out and Baburao took over was even bizarre. Under the new leadership of Baburao, GK organized for revival meetings in the newly acquired place with a lot of pomp and show. As usual a huge circus tent was put and GK started his powerful preaching blabbering whatever comes to his insane mind. While the revival meetings were going on, the neighbors and the near by church members came and created a huge scene and attacked the LEF people and demanded that all this non-sense be stopped at once as this was causing nuisance in this quiet residential area. LEF had to shut down the show and all the people had to run for their lives. Baburao with his high connections (one of his close relatives is a big business man in Nalgonda) managed get what ever stuff he could from the compound. They had to discontinue the revival meetings and abandon the property. LEF went back to square one and continued its Sunday worship and other church activities in the original leased place. Since all of this was blown out of proportion and many churches in Nalgonda raised hell against LEF, the great leader had to come down his pedestal and apologize. Here is the copy of that letter. As arrogant as we know him to be, he had to bend his knees and apologize.  









***Of course, as usual Joshua Daniel wrote bunch of lies in this letter (not sure which congregation he referred to has 95% Hindus, Moslems and Buddhists). Also, after looting people for years he said he doesn't ask people for money. 

Going back to the story of Nalgonda, LEF's 28 laks has gone down the gutter. "FOR SALE" board is hanging in front of the compound that they bought last year. Baburao is using his charm with John Daniel to make LEF buy one more property. LEF is rich - why one property, they can buy dozen other properties with the kind of currency they have in their warehouse. IC, GK, Yohan and Baburao are all still the most respected men in LEF. They still get to stay on their pedestals and look down on people like Mr. Gideon. After all Mr. Gideon is branded as a robber and all these men who threw 28 laks of LEF money in the gutter are the big men who can wield their power in LEF and nobody dares to question them as they have the blessings of the lady commander-in-chief and the endorsement of the clown prince (sorry, crown prince) of LEF.

We will continue this series with what Mr. Gideon and his family have gone through and are still going through after being driven out of Nalgonda.

  1. Just a few serious discrepancies in the Letter Head of LEF
    The LEF Letter Head proudly states Registered Non Profit Religious Society Established 1935 Registered number 30 of 1962
    As it is claimed to be registered, who is the General Secretary / President / Treasurer, are they Indian nationals / foreign nationals. It is said it is a Nonprofit Religious Society, then obviously it has to submit its yearly account details to the Government, why it is not revealing the accounts (everybody will know it to be cooked up). When are elections conducted to the society, Are the top posts rotated, Why and how a society established in 1935 register in 1962 (there is a story behind that). After Mr. N. Daniel died, many years later a Laymen’s Evangelical Fellowship was registered, with Mr. Whitson Paul, Mrs. Kamala Paul, Mrs. Persis Peter Iqbal, Mr. Francis Daniel, (and possibly Mrs. Daniel), surprisingly in this 1962 Society Mr. Joshua Daniel nor his son John Joshua Daniel was included. After a brutal cat fight in 1996 or so The Laymen’s Evangelical Fellowship International (LEFI) was started and it informed the Government of Tamil Nadu that as the Laymen’s Evangelical Fellowship had failed to meet its planned objectives it was dissolved and the new society The Laymen’s Evangelical Fellowship International was started with the following new trustees, Mr. Joshua Daniel, Mr. John Joshua Daniel, Mr. Joseph Joshua Daniel, Mrs. Lily Daniel, Mr. Francis Daniel (and most possibly Mrs. Betty Daniel). Mr. Whitson Paul, Mrs. Kamala Paul, Mrs. Persis Peter Iqbal were booted out by the Joshua Daniel Family all singing “Let there be Love shared among us”, somehow Mr. Francis Daniel retained a board seat (possibly he being a son/ His wife outsmarted the JJD clan) .To his credit Mr. James Joshua Daniel (2nd Son) refused to be a part of the new society. Please note the same son who sang praise to his dad (Mr. Joshua Daniel) wrote to the Government that the society formed by his brothers and sisters in memory of his Dad (Mr. N. Daniel) had failed in its objectives and hence was being dissolved, the assets and the liabilities of LEF was being transferred to LEFI, then what is the age of LEFI it is only 18 years, but in the Annual Reports it will be misinformed knowingly as shepherded 72, 76, 80 years and also same time parallel information will be fielded in the government that the trust (LEF) was dissolved, Still I don’t know whether the government has approved the LEFI, If I am correct the LEFI is not a registered society and is frauding all, I think one by one the other trustees (Joseph JD and Betty JD) except Mrs. Francis Daniel were bought out and sent out, and as a continuation on the demise of Mr. Joshua Daniel, Ms. /Mrs. Lydia Daniel was brought in as a trustee. No trustee can hold a post for a period longer than 5 years and Non-Indians cannot be primary members (so they can never become trustees). Here is where the LEF/LEFI plays its games, who are the primary members who need to elect the trustees. That list is never revealed, Each Annual Retreat is shown as an AGM and election results are silently and fraudulently prepared and submitted an so for more than 50 years the same family has ruled the trust / society by hook or by crook. Please file a RTI Query to LEF/ LEFI and if they refuse, to the Tamil Nadu State Information Commissioner / Central Information Commissioner/ Registrar of Societies, to get certified copies of the annual accounts for the last 10 years.

    Show one Buddhist, more than 10 Muslims who attend the congregation, definitely more than 50 % are Christians, why live in a fool wonderland?

    1. Indeed its a fools paradise. All lies . Big words on the stage. But heartless treatment of the widows and fatherless Is their meat and bread. They envy at your gold house car what not? Any thing if it falls in their sight they under the banner of obedience force you to depart from their hard earned posessions. Sad to see these people live for money and power and butcher the sheep for thei meat.

  2. The easiest way to file an RTI is https://rtionline.gov.in/ or https://onlinerti.com/?gclid=CIW52Pvw-sMCFVYVjgodaCgAtg

    Those living in Tamilnadu can go file an RTI online http://www.tnreginet.net/english/society.asp and visit the District Collectorate and collect details on the Society LEF.

  3. Please look into these matters re accounts, people in India. Also people in the USA and in any other country where the LEF has 'centres'. Attempts to initiate investigations have been instigated outside of India, but many people need to make enquiries, with soberly presented evidence, if the authorities are to be persuaded to look into these matters. The most important thing is that all those who currently support the LEF be made fully conversant with the dubiousness which surrounds it, and withdraw financial, or any other, support. Cannot local groups meet independently for worship? No Christian can afford to be associated with any organisation, or any person (or people), that appears to be less than honest, legal, or indeed Biblical in its thinking or actions. Please, Indian Christians, take this seriously and withdraw from anything to do with the LEF(I) or the Daniel family- even if it causes you personal sadness or practical difficulties.

  4. Late Mr JD - Did not know most of the issues. He came to know very late only about a few things. All issues were covered up or not were taken up to him by LD & Gunalan, IC & Jr JD and a few others. Late Mr JD had asked people to come and meet him HQ. at HQ they will be stopped by Gunalan even if Late Mr JD was free. IF he gets treated (literally bribed - 100 rs or some fruits and biscuits) they will be permitted or else the people will get a reply saying he is busy. Many people including long time members did not know the trick. Many important communications sent to him never reached him directly or first hand information was not provided to him. And most replies to such communication came from middlemen. Late JD & Family did not even know IC had half the property of LEF in his name & that's the reason they are not able to get rid of him. He is openly challenging LEF saying without him nothing can be done.

    1. As long-term 'president' or 'chairman', Joshua Daniel was 100% responsible for anything that happened within the LEF, both legally and morally. He was also responsible for the conduct of his family members. These problems are not recent, but appear to have been fermenting for many years. Joshua Daniel was informed about fraudulent activity at least fifteen years ago. I myself urged him through Lily Daniel eight years ago to regularise financial matters. There is no excuse for him in any of this. I do not know these Gunalan or Immanuel Chakravarty people, but whatever they have done and are doing has been at very least set in motion and allowed to continue because of the negligence and arrogance of Joshua Daniel and others of his immediate family. That in his final illness he may not have been fully aware of the latest developments is no excuse. John Daniel and Lily Daniel, if you are reading this, now is your chance to apologise and try to put things right. After all, repentance and restitution have been the (inadequate) principal characteristics of your father's/husband's preaching for many decades.....

      This request comes not from an Indian who can be bullied, but from a European who cannot. Do the right thing, and experience the mercy of God and perhaps the forgiveness of those who have been damaged.

  5. I disagree with Anonymous February 26, 2015 8:20 AM but agree with Anonymous February 26, 2015 9:43 AM. I am appalled by the behavior of IC, Gunalan, GK, John Daniel and Lily Daniel. I know IC and GK personally as both of them used to counsel me in the 80s and 90s (approved by my dad who was a firm LEF believer). They were manipulative, will jump to counsel without being invited and will have a comment on everything and anything. As a young man, I knew that their counseling methods were wrong (asking me to open the Bible and blindly point my finger at a verse for assurance of salvation). Brilliant way to get saved!!!!!!
    GK was a school teacher who signed up to attend the LEF Bible College in the late 80s. He used to bicycle to people's homes to counsel young LEF boys. Maybe there could have been a competition on how many boys they could brainwash in order to receive a status!! After few years in KGF, he was suddenly elevated to take over a congregation of over a 1000 in Hyderabad. This can only happen to people who are in the inner circle (yes-man types). This man can't preach like the rest of them.

    GK, if you are reading this, please get a proper Bible degree and brush up on the OT, NT and the early church.

      GK or Gnanakalajiam owes his present stature to his father in law Bro.Jobdas Daniel.Gnanakalanjiam studied in madurai and worked in Kotagiri in a private school for some time and joined LEF bible college.He was sent to KGF as standby evangelist as Bro.Rajadhas was to be sent to North East.After the exit of Bro.Rajadhas GK became the evangelist.He married Dr.Jobdas's daughter and because of his marriage became a nice evangelist brother.

    Generally speaking the more ignorant and lacking in spiritual integrity people are, the more eager they are to share their ignorance and lack of spiritual understanding with others (usually uninvited!).

    It saddens and sickens me to remember how people used to line up to receive the 'spiritual gems' (not!) of Joshua Daniel, sitting like a malevolent spider in the web of his private quarters, waiting further to suck out any material possessions and/or spiritual integrity that might still remain in them after his previous 'counselling' sessions. He set the pattern adopted by henchmen like GK. Do people still line up to see his son John and his wife Lily? This blind worship of false teachers is an evidence of the power of Satan over the unregerate human mind - for surely a truly born again person could not continue year after year blindly and happily to worship these flesh and blood idols?

    Ironic that Joshua Daniel often included the topic of idol-worship in his questionable 'preaching', yet seemed not to understand or acknowledge that he had consciously made himself 'idol-in-chief' to thousands; a human idol with the power to damage and destroy individuals and families if they bowed down to him. At least idols of wood and stone are inanimate and powerless. I wonder if LEF supporters realise that they are the very idol-worshippers that their guru, Joshua Daniel, condemned?

    I am afraid that no amount of Bible or other knowledge that you recommend will benefit GK (or any of the LEF mafia) until he first comes to the cross in humility and repentance.

    It is nevertheless encouraging to see how the Lord, in his sovereignty, has rescued so many from the clutches of the idolatrous LEF cult. Thank you for your testimony. Perhaps one day some of the rescued will be empowered to give their testimonies of deliverance from LEF platforms, the very same platforms through which they were enslaved in the first place!
