Campbell’s claim of being merely “connected through family” has been shredded by the evidence and sect survivors who have spoken out against Campbell's claims, exposing him as a duplicitous figure unfit for public office. This isn’t a scandal; it’s a disgrace.
Let’s cut through the nonsense. Campbell, Christchurch’s supposed man of principle, didn’t just fib about his role in the Two by Twos, a group so shadowy it doesn’t even have an official name for itself. He flat-out lied, painting himself as a casual bystander when, in reality, he’s a so-called elder who is deeply entrenched in the day to day workings of the cult. Sources, including former members who escaped the sect’s grip, have called him out.
Yesterday, the NZ Herald reported:
Two by Twos: MP Hamish Campbell ‘deeply embedded’ in religious group under investigation by FBI, police
National MP Hamish Campbell has been accused of downplaying his “connection” to a secretive religious movement under investigation by the FBI and New Zealand police over allegations of sexual abuse, the Herald can reveal.
Multiple sources have claimed that Campbell is an “elder” in the Two by Twos ministry and, over the years, has been responsible for hosting many weekly Bible meetings at his private home in Christchurch.
And despite last week saying, “My connection to the organisation has been through family”, yesterday, he admitted to the Herald, in response to a series of questions, that he is, in fact, a member. “I am a member of a small Christian group who meet in people’s homes on Sundays rather than go to church. I have hosted a small number of meetings at my home,” Campbell said.
If Campbell fed Prime Minister Christopher Luxon the same “family ties” hogwash, as insiders claim, he’s not only deceived the public...he’s lied to the Prime minister, which should be a sackable offense.
The Two by Twos, or The Truth, as its followers creepily call it, is no quaint prayer circle as Campbell wants you to believe. With over 900 alleged perpetrators worldwide, it’s a pedophile ring facing global scrutiny for allegations and documented cases of systemic sexual abuse. The FBI’s on their trail, NZ Police are making arrests, and ex-members describe a nightmare of control, isolation, and trauma for its numerous victims.
Campbell’s attempt to sanitize his “church”, calling it a “non-denominational Christian group just trying to live the best way possible,” isn’t just delusional...it’s a sickening attempt to whitewash an organised criminal group drowning in a sea of red flags. He’s not clueless; he’s complicit in deflecting from what's really going on.

Campbell’s an elected official, entrusted to serve with integrity. By lying through his teeth to the public, and potentially the PM, he’s torched that trust and exposed his utter contempt for accountability. If he’ll brazenly mislead reporters and the people about his role in a sect under investigation for pedophilia, what else is he hiding? His silence now, after being caught out, reeks of complicity.
Luxon’s response? A gutless dodge, brushing off Campbell’s lies as no big deal. National’s sanctimonious bleating about “transparency” is a joke when they let their own MPs lie with impunity. Campbell must come clean...admit his full role, explain why he lied, and address his stance on the allegations of widespread child abuse within his secretive sect. Anything less is a slap in the face to law-abiding voters and the numerous victims of the secretive religious cult known as the Two By Twos.
