ATTN E360 MEMBERS - THE TRUE MISSION IS *YOU* NOT A FEW DISHONEST LEADERS!
ministry watch has repeatedly downgraded ethnos360
The "Ministry Watch" rating organization recently lowered Ethnos360's Transparency Grade to 'D' reflecting a near-complete hiding of Financial and other critical information from Members and Supporters.
Ministry Watch lowered Ethnos360's 'Donor Confidence Score' to a dismal '30' indicating "WITHHOLD GIVING".
Aside from lacking proper outside governance and financial transparency, the new Donor Confidence Score score correctly reflects that E360 DOES continue to (ab)use NDA's as a tool of Intimidation which leads to Retaliation if Members speak out.
Below is a direct link to verify the screenshot source page.
JULY 1, 2024, THE NON-PROFIT WATCHDOG MINISTRY WATCH CALLED OUT ETHNOS360 and ECFA FOR LACKING TRANSPARENCY. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT ETHNOS360 Mission LEADERSHIP HAS BEEN HIGHLIGHTED.
Too make matters even worse, E360's Chief Operating Officer, Dallon Anderson, is quoted in the Ministry Watch article making a misleading statement which is very offensive to those outside of E360 (like ETP) who understand reality.
Dallon and others inside Leadership at E360 get away with this kind of mis-direction because Members and Supporters have no practical way (other than this censored website) to discover what they are being told by HQ is inaccurate.
For his 'Whopper of Mis-truth' IMPLYING that "E360 is above reproach with donors", ETHNOS TRUTH PROJECT awards E360 Chief Operations Officer Dallon Anderson his first (official) GOLDEN PINOCCHIO AWARD.
It is unlikely that Dallon could ever surpass the staggering number of Pinocchio's that Brian Coombs has achieved, but they both issue dishonest public statements that are designed to gloss over very uncomfortable facts.

ETHNOS360 WIKIPEDIA = GROSSLY MISLEADING
THIS IS AN ACTUAL SCREENSHOT OF THE ETHNOS360 WIKIPEDIA PAGE.
ETP added the Red Boxes around the Wiki Warnings and the SCREENCAPTURE ATTRIBUTION for source clarity.
"This article has multiple issues." YES IT DOES!
"A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject." NO DOUBT ON THAT PART!
EVERYWHERE WE LOOK, from Ethnos360's website to Wikipedia, we cannot help but notice that E360 Mission Members, Supporters, and the Public, are spoon-fed 'massaged' information (partial-truth) that is designed to mis-lead everyone to believe False Narratives which are in favor of E360's Leadership and against the Truth.
ETHNOS360 WIKIPEDIA PAGE "RECOGNITION" SCREEN-CAPTURE JULY 7, 2024
Read the information posted under the "Recognition" heading. These facts WERE accurate back in 2009 when Ministry Watch DID name Ethnos360 in the "Shining Light Top 30 Exemplary Ministries" list. NO LONGER!
The fact that in 2024 Ethnos360 has allowed this "Recognition" to be worded as though it were CURRENT is very dishonest, but not surprising to anyone outside of the tightly-controlled "E360 Bubble".
Members and Supporters are kept in the dark about what is really going on in the Executive Board levels of the Ethnos360 Corporate Mission.
In the next graphic, ETP has added an overlay with CURRENT REALITY superimposed on the same screen-capture, and set off with colored boxes and underlining to help illustrate how misleading "Partial Truths" can be.
Sidenote - Ministry Watch did not know in 2009 that NTM/E360 Leaders were secretly stonewalling numerous Child Sexual Abuse Victim/Survivors who had been ignored for years! That only became more public after the Fanda Eagles Mk Abuse Blog resulted in the 2010 GRACE Report which exposed widespread secret Abuse.
But we digress...
ETHNOS360 NEVER MISSES AN OPPORTUNITY TO USE 'PARTIAL TRUTHS' TO TELL 'FULL LIES'
There are so many factual errors on the Ethnos360 Wikipedia Page that need to be corrected.
It is simply not believable to ETP to suggest that whoever at E360 is responsible to shape the narrative on this Wiki Page does not know that the "Shining Light" Recognition from 2009 has dimmed to the point that in 2024 Ministry Watch has alerted their Donors that Ethnos360 is to be regarded as "WITHHOLD GIVING" with a Transparency Grade of 'D'.
Since they are both publicly dishonest, ETP does not know whether to award this WIKI Golden Pinocchio Award to BRIAN COOMBS, or to DALLON ANDERSON.
If there is a different person at E360 who did this, by all means inform ETP and we will give them proper credit!
ETHNOS360 HAS A TERRIBLE TRANSPARENCY PROBLEM. AS DEMONSTRATED ON THEIR TWITTER ACCOUNT, E360 CENSORS ALL NEGATIVE INFORMATION
There is no sure method provided by Ethnos360 for anyone on the outside to raise questions aside from blind emails.
Even Members tell ETP that their internal emails to Exec Board Members are 'often' not even acknowledged, let alone responded to, except through Brian Coombs.
Ethnos Truth Project has the "receipts" to support this.
ministry WATCH SAYS ETHNOS360 MISLED THEM + Denied USING NDA
WE PROVIDED COPIES OF 'TWO' TYPES OF NDA'S ETHNOS USES!
ABOVE IS THE MANDATORY NDA THAT ALL ETHNOS360 MEMBERS SIGN ANNUALLY.
We provided Ministry Watch with a redacted copy of another NDA which came to us from a whistle-blower.
To protect our source against retaliation from Ethnos360, we have not published it here.
These documents prove that for several years Ethnos has apparently misled Ministry Watch regarding their use of NDAs.
The email below reflects what happened as a result.
(this is an example of corporate malfeasance)
HERE IS THE SAME-DAY RESPONSE FROM MINISTRY WATCH
After claiming they do not use NDA's when they use more than one type of NDA, Ethnos360's 'Donor Confidence Score' on Ministry Watch went from a '51' to a '47'. Now, as of January 2024, the Ethnos score has been further lowered to a level which triggers a "Withhold Giving" status. Ethnos HQ dismisses this as unimportant and attacks the ratings organization instead of addressing the failures. ETP sees this as troublesome.
HAS ethnos360 BEEN CAUGHT IN ANOTHER "LIE BY (A)MISSION" ?
Ethnos Executives... If your bylaws prohibit you from meeting ECFA Standard 2 on "Independent Governance" and you had to get an exception to use your corporate structure, but you certify on your public website that you 'do' meet the Accreditation Requirements as ECFA publishes them, aren't you inviting public questions regarding your lack of transparency?
We agree that according to ECFA's website, Ethnos360 'is' currently a member in good standing , although neither ECFA nor Ethnos360 publish the fact said “Good Standing” is the result of an unpublished exception to the specific wording of ECFA Standard 2, and the public has absolutely no way to know the whole truth.
We further note that it took more than five months before ECFA would give us an explanation of how they granted Ethnos the “accreditation” and the reasons given defy logic and common sense as we have discussed.
