Dr Gene Scott Partying in Heaven

Written by Al Barger
Published February 22, 2005

They're probably having a hell of a party in heaven about now. Famous teacher and televangelist Dr Gene Scott died on Monday, February 21, 2005 at age 75. You could really see him having a good old time arguing philosophy and theology with the saints. St Peter's probably picking up some new theological insights right now.
NEWS STORY.
HIS WEBSITE BIOGRAPHY
Lengthy 1994 Los Angeles Times profile

Gene Scott was the only preacher on tv worth watching. Over 30 years on the tube, he grew long hair and a big shaggy beard, and was usually chewing on a cigar. He came off as more of a really nutty professor rather than a preacher per se, given to reading extensively on air from obscure historical works and history books- with commentary, of course.

640;

Then for a break, he'd talk about his fancy cars and race horses. Queue up the video, and he'd be out in the barn inspecting his prize race horses- with a couple of big-breasted model types on his arm.

This purely boyish delight in showing off his goodies and getting the goats of all the church ladies (religious and secular) naturally enraged all kinds of self-appointed guardians of public morality. He had run-ins with different official types, trying to make some kind of case of fraud or financial impropriety. The California Attorney General's office screwed with him for a couple of years in the 70s before legislative reform finally trimmed their harassment abilities.

They never got anywhere, most likely because he was clean and above board. Also, he was famously resistant to auditors. Robin Williams once imitated him, saying, "The word 'audit' does not appear in the Bible." I'd presume that Williams made that up, but it's not far from stuff I heard him actually say on a regular basis. It was also hard to really justify being indignant when his followers were sending in donations marked with statements like, "Gene Scott can do whatever he wants with this money."

Really, these attorney generals and tax folk just provided grist for his mill. Among other things, this Renaissance man was a painter. (He's said to have his own paintings displayed in his private museum alongside original Rembrandt and Monet.) At one point in the early '90s, I saw him hawking prints of an impressionist painting he'd done called "A Bureaucrat (And what to do with him)."

"A skinflint may get to Heaven, but what awaits him are a rusty old halo, a skinny old cloud, and a robe so worn it scratches. First-class salvation costs money."

Among his many interests, he played saxophone. Obviously he liked to share that gift on air. I believe he was also a songwriter. I don't know who else could possibly have written such a song as his perennial favorite "Kill a Pissant for Jesus." He was also considered a world-class stamp collector. (For being the author of a couple of dozen books, a stamp book was the only thing I could find for him on Amazon.)

Here's a particularly fun bio of Dr Scott from Rotten.com. This makes a good example of a fairly common phenomenon: Even people dead set on hating "televangelists" can't quite help but admire him, and revel in his rebel charm.

I've seen several stories such as this Rotten.com piece describe Dr Gene as perpetually "angry." That's really not right at all. Now, he could certainly get annoyed with whatever jackass crossed his path that day, but such displays were seemingly more for the entertainment of his audience than from any deep feelings of resentment. His anger was mostly skin deep. He really seriously ENJOYED his work, and it came through. Gene Scott gave FUN rants, not hate rants.

As to the shaking down of the congregation for some bucks, he had rather a different outlook than most. He generally didn't come begging on how the church needs money, or some Third World food bank he was sponsoring needed help, or any of those typical approaches.

As he viewed it, his students OWED him money for his teaching. If you're learning from his broadcasts, then you should be paying the teacher. "Get on the telephone!" he liked to bellow in that gravelly voice. "I'm not selling forty-pound Bibles, or water from Jordan, or 4,000 plastic crosses made by the Japanese and sold to Arabs. I don't send out 'healing cloths' or tear up my shirt. I say: what's what I've done worth? Whatever the meal I've fed you is worth, pay up."

He was born in Idaho in 1929, the son of an itinerant preacher. As a young boy, his infant brother died in the bed next to him, resulting in this explanation from his mother Inez Leona Graves Scott in a 1980 interview, "I saw a stairway begin to roll down from heaven and come right down to the side of my bed. Two angels walked down and they stopped in front of Gene. I said, 'Oh no, Lord, you can't take Gene!' and they just went around him and picked the baby up."

You can well imagine how such a background- coupled with genius intelligence- might result in an exceptionally interesting character. It did.

He got a PhD in 1957 from Stanford University for "philosophies of education," whatever that exactly means. He sure seemed to have created his own special philosophy of education as a tv preacher.

He was some kind of freaky evangelical. He was involved somewhere in the creation of Oral Roberts University. His background and original affiliation was Assemblies of God, which he resigned before he took over as pastor of the Faith Center in the 70s, leading to the 15K member congregation and television presence of his glory days.

I'm not sure the state of his empire at the time of his death, but he was broadcasting on his own satellite University Network channel 24/7, and was translated into at least eight languages broadcast on tv and radio in over 180 countries. The dude was a machine.

As a theologian, he de-emphasized what he might have viewed as relatively trivial lifestyle issues. "I take you as you are, as God takes me as I am." He was not known for wagging the finger at sinners for typical petty sins of the flesh. I don't think I ever heard him preach against drugs and fornication.

What he preached FOR was a staunch belief in the Resurrection, and the power of believing in Jesus Christ of Nazareth. That, and the therapeutic power of screwing with bureaucrats.

He mostly liked to carry on with his bad boy image, but he was also major philanthropist, giving and raising money for many charitable causes over the years. Among other things, he was on the board of the Richard Pryor Burn Center.

Maybe Dr Scott can learn some of them old popes and saints and such a thing or two about the Bible and God and law. It'd sure be fun to watch him try.

Unreformed hawkish Hoosier hillbilly and sometimes candidate Al Barger runs the still squeezin' down the psychodelic Kentucky moonshine at MoreThings.com, what with the paranoid religious visions and the Pentacostal music and visions of God and anarchy running amok and such. Somebody oughta call the cops to report his out of control freedom of conscience. Till they come to take him away somewhere where he can't hurt anyone else, you can check out his weekly column of NEW ALBUM RELEASES.

The only TV preacher I ever watch is Arnold Murray.

And only because he's such a lovable asshole. ;-)

#2 — February 23, 2005 @ 08:28AM — Nick Jones

Geez, we've got another Celebrity Death Cluster going - Sandra Dee, HST and Dr. Gene Scott. Didn't we have one just two weeks ago (Ossie Davis, John Vernon, Max Schmeling)?

#3 — February 23, 2005 @ 08:33AM — Eric Olsen

yes Al, he is the guy I thought he was - RIP

#4 — February 23, 2005 @ 17:05PM — Mike Kole [URL]

I really loved watching Robert Tilton about 15 years ago. His speaking in tongues shtick was a regular laff riot. Scott ranked up there, but Tilton held my attention as much as any televangelist could at 3am.

#5 — February 23, 2005 @ 18:01PM — Shark



He'll be quickly forgotten as a scholar and a televangelist, but if I have anything to do with it, he'll be remembered as the Christian's Cy Twombly.

Forget his paintings. I always thought Scott's illustrated blackboards were some of the greatest abstract and/or DADA art ever made. I used to watch just for a glimpse of his wacked-out drawings. Great stuff.

#6 — February 23, 2005 @ 18:35PM — Al Barger [URL]

All together, then, guys: one more chorus of "Kill a Pissant for Jesus."

#7 — February 25, 2005 @ 22:13PM — gatosammy

This guy was the best bible teacher in several generations. His quirks that made people hate him were designed to make the fools change the channel. If you waited out his folly you'd see and hear the greatest lessons in a generation. Things that the run of the mill bible thumpin piss ants could never understand or teach.
RIP DOC

#8 — February 25, 2005 @ 22:23PM — Al Barger [URL]

Amen, Gatosammy, preach it!

#9 — February 26, 2005 @ 11:04AM — abe

Dr. Scott's barrage of languages couldn't even be understood by most of his followers.

Give me that plain spoken, easy-to-understand, to the heart preacher..I believe His name is Jesus Christ, and His words are translated in more languages than Dr. Scott could ever have fit on those white boards.

#10 — February 26, 2005 @ 14:34PM — Al Barger [URL]

Oh Abe, don't be a party pooper. Besides, Jesus isn't volunteering to come down and actually talk to us like Dr Scott.

#11 — February 26, 2005 @ 21:02PM — Marlene

Dr. Gene Scott was a lost man who thought he was going to heaven upon his death...I bet he's suprised at where he really ended up. How sad that he was so blinded by his own genius and even sadder, how he deceived so many followers. The man was a wolf in sheep's clothing.

#12 — February 26, 2005 @ 22:51PM — Al Barger [URL]

Really Marlene, you presume to know how God would judge Gene Scott? I don't want to accuse you of Extreme Arrogance or anything, but that does seem just a wee bit presumptuous- and somewhat hateful- of you.

#13 — February 28, 2005 @ 11:36AM — Larry

Dr Gene Scott the only real TV Preacher we ever had or will have,his teaching were the best i ever heard. He was way a head of his time and will be greatly missed. I know he is in Heaven. His teaching will live for many years to come.

#14 — March 4, 2005 @ 15:49PM — frank [URL]

Only in California! Gene Scott simply validates Pt. Barnum's declaration about a sucker being born every minute. Except the birth rate has dramatically increased in recent years.

#15 — March 4, 2005 @ 16:05PM — Demosethena

you mean to tell me, naysayers and detractors you never understood what the heck scott taught? Ya all' still bond up in the"law"; of "do do this and don't do that's"! The actual teaching at a University level just doesn't pander to the silly secular, flesh peddling pissants pretending they are Christians.! Those who have ears to hear and eyes to see...Most so-called christians and non christian detractors, and artists in adipose orificery; arn't in correspondence with reality to begin with!

#16 — March 6, 2005 @ 10:49AM — thomas doubting

Demosethena: Beuatufiuly said. Today is a sad day. Peace will be his in the heaven he preached for so long i hope.

#17 — March 6, 2005 @ 11:24AM — Phillip Winn [URL]

Marlene, I don't know what standard you're presuming to use to determine Scott's final resting place, but everything I've seen indicates that he preached (among many other wild and crazy things) salvation by grace alone by faith in Jesus Christ alone, which tells me that he'll end up where he thought he would, idiosyncracies and all. Are you claiming to be perfect? Are you claiming perfection matters?

In my book, what Jesus has done matters and nothing we do really does, in the end.

#18 — March 6, 2005 @ 17:44PM — Al Barger [URL]

Well put, Phillip. Gene Scott sure seemed to be a true believing Christian, even if he was sometimes egotistical and highly eccentric.

#19 — March 6, 2005 @ 18:29PM — Thomas Doubting

Frankly, i thought, like i think of all heroic creatures of the creator, that he was indectructible, (but yet again he is and we are ulitimatly aren't we?) So i found out today he had finaly left us, and it seems a bit unbelivable.

Anyhow, where do these that think that he's just a clown get their rocks off? a clown don't preach the the way he preached brothers, the way he hit on target wha'ts most salient to us christians...e.i. the true nature of christ and his fathamable/unfathamable works and destiny vis a vis history.

Gene Scott a toast to you and your teachings of wayward topics like B.A. (Biblical Astrology) Godspeed with tears in my eyes towards your reward..Leononian/Virgo/Scorpio brother. Sorta like Saint Charles Bukowski was...he preached it too, in his own manner, another combo 5-6-8 in destiny's script, i hope.

Love to Scott, Buk and all, TD.

#20 — March 7, 2005 @ 00:05AM — Al Barger [URL]

Amen, Brother Thomas Doubting. Rev Scott of course liked to clown around some- he obviously didn't take himself entirely seriously, but he was clearly ultimately serious about his beliefs and teachings. I don't think there's anything inherently sacrilegious about a preacher actually having a working sense of humor.

#21 — March 9, 2005 @ 13:46PM — Marlin

In the years to come Dr. Scott's teaching will live on through the rebroadcasts and printed transcripts. Preachers will plagerize his sermons on Sunday's and hail him as a saint like other great preachers of the past.

He will become more mainstream as the years go by and memories of his "cigar" and "independent" style fade. But they were what made the man real. They will try to "sanitize" him like all the great ones who at the time didn't fit in with the religious establishment at the time.

The truth is in the teaching. Rest in peace Dr. Scott, and thanks for the encouragement to put trust in God while you were here.

#22 — March 11, 2005 @ 21:53PM — Thomas Doubting

Following a great uplifting quote....

He bestowed upon my heart. the gift of limitless faith.

So that in these final days i could carry out his divine work.

& even tho i have not led a life of perfection. i am not ashamed in his sight, & give unceasing thanks to him.

for he has been lenient with me, a careless fool, and lifted me up beyond all measure, even thou i was unworthy and the least of his servants.

i, patrick, a sinner, a most unlearned man, tirelessly i give thanks to god, whom in his divine power, has shown himself to me, the least amoung his faithfull, and an unworthy man, despised by many.

Quote from St. Patrick. Patron Saint of Ireland.

Title of the film St. Patrick Patron Saint of Ireland as i saw it on EWTN.

Eternal Word Television Network. Catholic Cable Channel.

The approximately 40min. film will repeat this Saturday March 12' 05 from 8:00-9:00PM on EWTN.

Thanks Mikey, I'll have to check that out.

Any idea where I could get an mp3 of "Kill a Pissant for Jesus"?

I had the great opportunity of working for Dr. Gene Scott in the "Purple" church in Orville, CA called Westscott Christian Center. I enjoyed Dr. Scott's teaching and was happy to get him to get his sax out of the moth balls and start jamming with his Dad (Pop Scott) and me on Sunday mornings. Gene, his wife Betty and Mom & Dad Scott made me feel very much a part of the team.

The Sunday that Dr. Scott announces that Betty had filed for divorce was my last Sunday for a few years. Then one of his staff called me offering me a multi task job as the Music Director,Christian Book store keeper, TV art/backdrop (painted at the Sun Set Mosaliem) and piano player/singer for TV tapings in San Jose.

The last time I saw Gene was at Pop Scott's memorial at the SSM where we joked with each other about our weight gain. I loved his smile - he was always very kind to me.

Hello all. I just want to say that Dr. Scott was a great teacher and I'am sad to have heard of he passing. God Bless

Eric

#27 — March 21, 2005 @ 02:39AM — The Racing Reverend [URL]

Good on you Marlene... Judge and be Judged, ever hear of that one...

Gene Scott's greatness was that he loved Jesus and had a relationship with him in every part of his life, not just on Sundays..

The cigar smoking, red wine drinking, race horse owner....

Gone but not forgotten...

The first message I heard Dr. Scott preach was Psalm 84 - "Blessed men (and women) go thru valleys of weeping..." And it struck a cord with me as I was just coming out an abusive church experience in 1991. I stayed home for the next five years & the only TV on in my house was Dr. Scott. Dr. Scott is the one who cracked open the Greek language for me with his late night discourses and gave me an enduring love of Biblical languages. All the while he was talking on the set, I was busy writing down the titles of all those rare, hard-to-find books he had stacked around his chair. Most of those books in my library today. Being very busy in ministry I have not had many opportunities to listen recently to Dr. Scott's teachings, but he is with me always. In the various studies I teach today I hear him, in my voice, telling my students about the A,B,C's of faith, and the Valley of Weeping (Psalm 84), and Fret Not (Psalm 37), and about the iron and brass shoes (Deut. 33), and others. Because of him I had the courage to write my own verse by verse expositional study of Ephesians. And because of what the Holy Spirit awoke inside me using Gene Scott as his instrument, I am now living life as a consecrated Religious, having made my first profession of vows on January 17 of this year. I thank God every day of my life for Dr. Gene Scott's influence on my spiritual life.

#29 — March 22, 2005 @ 11:06AM — j. fowler

Dr. Scott was the beginning of a wonderful life for me. I still find great joy in his recorded programs. I hope they go on for many, many years because I know there are alot of people searching for one such as him to show them the way. No nonsense, just real good commonsense. I shall always treasure the things he taught me.
Thank you God for great & human teacher.

I dont know if I've lived in a cave for 40 years, but I do know that I was trying to find my way out of spiritual darkness for most of those years. I didnt even know who Gene Scott was until about 6 weeks ago when my husband and I tuned in to his Sunday morning broadcast. I was immediately taken by the passion with which he spoke, the knowledge he possessed, and the certainty of his faith. To me there is nothing more humbling than the faith of a learned man. Listening to Dr. Gene Scott speak his faith truly gave me permission to experience mine with renewed joy and vigor. The loss I feel at his death is deep. I feel as though I finally found the voice that coaxed me out of the darkness of my cave, only to hear the echo of 'good-bye'. With a tear of sadness at the loss I feel, I smile for him that his race is over. A race that was run with honesty, personality, humor, and integrity. Until we meet, so-long Dr Gene.

#31 — March 23, 2005 @ 22:58PM — Al Barger [URL]

I'm really touched by these eloquent little testimonials to the late Rev Scott.

As a non-believer, I tended to take his broadcasts as (high end) camp, though I hate to say it that way.

However, Dr Scott was truly a learned and thoughtful man with deep good humor, and an abiding faith in Jesus Christ of Nazareth as his personal Lord and Savior.

#32 — April 6, 2005 @ 13:49PM — Toni C.

Can someone tell me who the woman is that I see in Dr. Scott's place on TV? Thanks.

#33 — April 6, 2005 @ 14:24PM — DrPat [URL]

Well, Rotten.com has quite a write-up on Dr. Scott (gasp!) himself. (Sorry for the gratuitious Rocky Horror reference....) But nothing about his replacement.

Even his own site is still touting LIVE Sunday Service: "Join Pastor Scott from The Los Angeles University Cathedral for the weekly teaching on FAITH." Though they do warn that programs are subject to change without notice.

#34 — April 12, 2005 @ 14:40PM — Russ Tice

Dr. Scott, yes.. Melissa Scott, NO. Dr. Scott was a wonderful teacher. Melissa married Dr. Scott not too long ago. I see no real credit in her running the church. She is by no means qualified.

#35 — April 12, 2005 @ 15:30PM — Al Barger [URL]

Yeah, but who could possibly fill Gene Scott's boots? I haven't seen her preach. Just that this guy picked her out for marrying makes me a little curious what she's about.

#36 — April 17, 2005 @ 10:30AM — TD

Every time i see Doc on television preaching every Sunday, still can't bealive he's gone from us to the above.

Anyhow, on a cultural note, does anyone know if Bukowski ever saw Doc on tv in L.A? it just occured to me the other day that they were both based in L.A., i'm curious to know because i truly bealive in "astrology" and thus mutal signs attract same or compatible signs,and how these two were both the sign of the lion.

If Bukowski happened to see Doc on tv at any time and if he ever opined on Doc, i also, in my belief mode (i'm officialy an agnostic, but when i'm in my christic beliving mode i fully bealieve) think that Bukowski has made it up to heaven, as i find him very spriritual and uplifting in a lot of instances and ways.

#37 — June 2, 2005 @ 03:21AM — Al Barger [URL]

Must see Gene Scott video. Watch him cuss out some two bit punks!

#38 — July 12, 2005 @ 20:03PM — gerald krug [URL]

I actually called the "voices of faith" and asked why pastor Melissa Scott wasn't teaching.I guess she has caved in to the critics.I'm in tears.I support her and I know she got my message.She has gotten a hugh load to do,that's for sure.She is so beautiful and her mannerisms are so lovingly expressive.Can't you see the gift that Dr.Scott has given us to
ponder,admire and share with?I was so thrilled to hear her speak after "Doc"
passed.She had always only sang.Her tributes to her husband were so real and natural,even with the old videos.I know some of the insides of the ministry and as my daddy said to me,"Son,you can't live your whole life on B.S.",so tell me how did this ministry survive?Try by truth.

Melissa Scott (televangelist),aka Barbie Bridges, 3rd wife of Gene Scott, uses her adult modelling & acting skills for double entendres during her sermons. Inapproriate for
children's ears, Melissa calls her LA
congregants on their lack of enthusiasm after Dr Scott's death. County and State records document her experience as a principal in Barbie Bridges Ent, formerly wed to Paul Pastore, who sells the explicit videos on the internet. Pastor Melissa pleads
with viewers to send money instead of
liquidating the prize horses, stamps, wines and ranches that are unnecessary for a church to own and maintain.

I am happy for Dr. Scott's home going.
I came to the knowledge of the truth through his ministry and I am now a pastor myself.
He seperated the word of God in a real way that I could understand it. And if you like him or dis-like him one thing I can honestly say. He taught the truth of God's grace through faith in its purity. And he didn't compromise what he believed. He also acted in faith on what he believed and that example will live on through the disciples that he raised up including myself and many more across the world.
We're still here and Dr. Scott's re-runs aren't going anywhere either.
I will miss him down here in this world, but he is much better off than any of us down here. And the truth lives on. So get on the telephone.
Voices of faith are standing by at

Pastor Melissa Scott,Barbie Bridges,adult model & stripper, is showing her boring, abusive visions, sitting on a pile of cash. She begs & harrasses viewers into enslaving themselves to her luxurious power, but it's not working. By her own announcements, 250 inside dissenters have left, and there are less than 200 regular LA participants, taking her
moronic abuse. She has lost credibility on all
fronts and is circling the drain to oblivion.

#42 — August 24, 2005 @ 20:38PM — markymarkT [URL]

Melissa Scott partying in L.A. on church expense account! She's entertainment staff men in the mansion, in her admittedly carnal
desires. This widow is getting back
on a new horse to ride into the ground.

Eugene Scott,God scammer,rolls aghast, his rip offs & abuse wasting by Melissa Scott, Barbie Bridges, his Jezabel. Her guilt trip begging & snide whipping style make Gene grin.
It will be a bad dream in 6 months.

Eugene Scott's cash cow to be seized in double jeopardy IRS move, assessed as private corp income & creditors paid. First in line is Uncle Sam. L.A. could fund roads & teachers. Melissa Scott, porn producer, won't be needing horse ranches, stamps and bibles.

Heres the deal, God gifted us all to have Dr.Gene Scott in our lifetime to bring his word to life. Gene's gone, but Gods word still is here, there are 1000's of taped broadcast of him, and we need to put aside the petty BS, and make sure that till Jesus comes God's word is kept alive by Dr, Scotts messeges. Regaurdless of whos in the drivers seat! Why do you think Dr. Scott taped all his teachings? He was no fool, he made them, so Gods word could be heard long after he was gone. Lets keep the voice of light alive, and do our part. Heres something for you arrogant idiots aka:piss ants" He was one of the few, maybe the only teachers, pastors, and reverands to say " I don't need your money", but you need to give you money if you been taught in the word. It was his job to make sure that people that had light to see gave in the proper way. If you been taught in the word you have to give to the one who taught you. Dr. Scott used that money to keep Gods word alive for millions to have access to, unlike what you morons believe, that he was useing it for himself. HE DIDN'T NEED OUR MONEY HE ALREADY WAS RICH BEFORE HE CAME TO FAITH CENTER. He did it, so that WE might jointly partisipate in the fruits of his ministry. IT WAS GODS ORDER TO US TO PAY TITHES AND OFFERINGS!! GENE DIDN'T ASK FOR IT FOR HIM OR BECAUSE HE NEEDED IT!! once you morons get past the HUMAN part of your brains, and start thinking on a spiritual level(well doubt that will happen) you will see this to be true. But alas like Doc has pointed out many times, not everyone has the GIFT to see light...Thanks be to God i can, as well as all my brothers and sisters in Christ. So what if malissa has a past, so what if she continues, OUR job is to keep the voice of Doc alive, and make sure Gods word stays ALIVE. God bless to my family of faithers, and to hell with all you piss ants!!

Does anyone know when the archives might be back up on Dr. Scott's web site? Thanks for any info.

#47 — September 1, 2005 @ 02:16AM — markymark [URL]

Melissa stole the archives and will put them up again when hell freezes over.

IBdaMan, get your head eamined, if you can pull it out of Melissa's arse before it is too late.

What the F**** do you think you are participating in? There are no church members, never were, and never will be. It's one big private money machine, cha ching, funneled into Melissa's offshore accounts.

God struck Gene down. Watch what He has in store for the whore house
false teacher bazaar hagglers on the
steps of Christ's body.

All the BS you regurgitated are false
facts, straight from, you guessed it
the ass's mouth Gene Scott. None of the public documents verify the stupid claims that Gene had money before he
lined his pockets with Faith Center rebuilding.

See talkaboutpeople.com, Gene Scott,
ResearcherGuy and MrX posts of links to court and public documents March through August 2005.

Open your eyes. God is entering in.
He took Gene out for His puposes.

Black widow Melissa Scott, aka Barbie Bridges, scrambles to cover porn, stash cash & stay alive while tax bills hit the fan. She should install
a pole & get grinding like she knows how to do. Now that she's stepping out for carnal service, her whips on the insiders drive them out of her sess pool closer to Jesus.

With no moral compass or theology besides "give me the money" "give me
your time, life, and shut up" there's
no where to go but down, down, down
back to the dung pile she thrived in.

She's the queen of mean, chief siren
and false teacher Gene Scott predicted, to come from the pulpit with a Catholic background and roots
from the northern tribes. That's she
devil Melissa.

REMEMBER, JESUS SAVES.

GOD'S WORD IS KEPT ALIVE BY GOD'S WORD,
THE HOLY BIBLE. WE ARE TO READ IT AND
HEAR IT. FOLLOW THE TEACHINGS OF JESUS.

GENE SCOTT TAPED HIS MESSAGES BECAUSE HE WAS A NARCISSISTIC EGOMANIACAL SPIRITUAL ABUSER.

GOD PUT HIM IN THE GROUND. FROM DUST TO DUST. HIS WORK POINTING MANY TO JESUS WAS DONE. HIS WORK POINTING MONEY TO HIMSELF WAS NOT IN THE STREAM OF GOD'S WILL. THE MAN GENE SCOTT IS
DEAD AND GONE.

READ YOUR BIBLE AND PRAY. JESUS LIVES.

Doggone, but there's some distinctly UNchristian hatin' goin' on here today.

As a non-believer, I don't want to get too preachy. However, I will remind you Christians that judgement belongs to Jesus. I'm not real impressed with people presuming to explain on God's behalf that he struck Gene down for some and such reasons. For one thing, did it occur to you that he was getting OLD, and all old folks eventually die?

Further, I'm not going to be real interested in hearing about supposed financial scandals with the late reverend. Jumpin' Jehosaphat, he had people sending in checks marked "Gene Scott can do whatever he wants with this money." After that, if he wanted to spend it on cocaine and hookers, it would have been between him and Yahweh so far as I'm concerned.

And Markymark, this is kinda nutsy: "There are no church members, never were" Are you telling me there was no church building, and those audiences he showed were some kind of CGI effects?

#51 — September 1, 2005 @ 23:47PM — IBdaMAN

All I can say is may God have mercy on you that judge a man HE sent to us, to teach us in HIS word. Gene always said I DON'T WANT YOUR MONEY! UNLESS YOU BEEN TAUGHT IN THE WORD! apparently you were not one of those chosen few that were taught, and by the sounds of it i doubt you ever will. Gene lived five years passed the designated 70 years GOD alotted to us to live, FIVE being the number of GRACE! Thank GOD for his grace, and for allowing me to witness one of HIS ELECT! I am gratfull to GOD for giving me the oppritunity to partisapate in Genes ministry, and for giving me eyes to see light!

#52 — September 2, 2005 @ 01:00AM — Al Barger [URL]

Speaking again as non-believer, I'll just say that the good Rev Scott did more to make me want to believe than any other guy I ever saw on a tv.

BIdaMan, God Judges souls with a capital J, as Dr. Scott taught. Man can judge contests and character of
fellow humans, with a lower case j.
We congregants and former GS followers have valid, serious criticism of Melissa Scott's deceit and lack of
pastoring heart to serve the church, which the bible defines as the people, the body of Christ.

The organization is a series of privately held and controlled corporations for the good of the Scotts. They have straw boards of themselves, with a couple of their stoolies and hired hands. Melissa has screaned into the cameras that there are no church members. They just show up and cheer there, but have no vote in any kind of polity or church governance. She bans anyone who she she just doesn't like. Mind you, they don't criticize her, they just don't give enough of their time and money to her private businesses. There are no shareholders in the corporation. Many old guard have given every penny to the Scotts and are now on the doorstep of retirement with nothing but outdated tape recordings.

#54 — September 2, 2005 @ 22:20PM — Al Barger [URL]

And whose fault is that if someone has given all their money to ANY televangelist? But especially this one. Rev Scott had people sending him checks specifically marked "Gene Scott can do whatever he wants with this money." How does "whatever" not cover this? Plus, 1 Corinthians 9:9 - For it is written in the law of Moses, thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen?

The main thing that someone might broadly expect would be that he would keep preaching, and keep the satellite broadcasts rolling. He did that right to the end. What's the beef?

And not giving members of the congregation a vote does NOT mean that there was no congregation. Just means that it's not a democracy. Why would you expect that of a church?

When did Gene Scott ever for one second imply that he would do what some board or group of any kind voted? Were you watching a whole different preacher than me who made some indication that he was taking orders from another mortal man? This was, ya know, GENE SCOTT here.

Subsequent marriages include a twenty year marriage to Christine E. Shaw, divorced in 1998, and to wife number three, Melissa Pastore, in August 2000, 39years his junior, after coupling in 1995. Since Dr. Scott's death on February 21, 2005, Mrs. Melissa Scott became pastor of Wescott Christian Center and Faith Center. She is the former Melissa Pastore and adult entertainment model/actress/producer under the stage name of Barbie Bridges. Her photos can be found on adult sites including modelslover.com and manhunters.com. Her tintillating acting thrills viewers in Picture Perfect. NoTell Hotel and other films with Asia Carrera showcase Barbie Bridges production and directing talent. Melissa Scott was a founding partner of Barbie Bridges Ent, of Hollywood. Dr. Scott referred to her as "baby" and boasting she is the "only perfected saint" in his thirty year ministry. Melissa Scott continues Gene Scott's legacy of raising funds and demanding free work in the name of God

#56 — September 7, 2005 @ 22:08PM — IBdaMAN

The way i see it, is that we all have done things in the past were not proud of. What ever the degree of what WE have done. Jesus came and broke down the barrier that keep us from GOD, and if we turn to him HE will turn to us, and let us walk in NEWNESS of LIFE. I still watch on the internet Doc's broadcast, and to this day have not even seen Malissa on there. And when I go to the cathedral again I have no idea how mallisa will preach. What I do know is: all i've seen so far over the last 6 months(and hopefully many more years)is GOD'S word still being taught by Gene. Theres alot of BS out there, Doc was not one of the ones that was passin it out. He stood fast to what he believed and taught, and never waivered. He never judged people on their personal lives, and asked the same in return from us. As long as Mellisa keeps Doc's voice alive on the airwaves, I will be a part of this ministry.

Mockery of the pulpit blasphemed Pastor Melissa Scott (televangelist) aka Barbie Bridges sex model, as she dunked over 100 white-clothed sinning saints in the same nasty dunk tank you wouldn't put two large fish in. The baptismal was all about her, pressured vows of love & devotion to Melissa & dead Gene eclipsed Jesus. Gene is pal ing around with God on a cloud waving down. The sheep blindly follow this false teacher. End times are nigh.

Joe & Dan dunked as Melissa Scott giggled over shallow compliments dunkees were made to write to her, to climb the steps into the body shaped pastic jacuzzi tank of cold water to get baptized in faith to give money and
free labor to Melissa Scott, Barbie Bridges, strip queen and false teacher.
The filthy water drained to an outside
garden, killing all growth in sight. Children bawled outside, spanked by angry scottites into submission to behave, managed stiff smiles & praises to Melissa Scott for saving their souls on 9/11. Jesus received honorable mention here and there, with credit given to God under the breath of a few.

Don't sweat these idiots AL, all these morons know how to do is keep tuning in to be able to put their own little twist's to what they hear and say. Even if Jesus himself came down and walked beside them, they'd mock him to his face, because they wouldn't reconize him if they saw him. And the sad thing is: it's not like their doubters wondering if Jesus exsist, They know he does, and yet the satin in them keeps their tongues wagging, and their fingers fonting hate.

My point is how can you preach god's words when you have your legs spread wide open for the world to see and i am sure she still gets a cut or percentage from those photos. And calling people idiots and morons mmm now that really tells me that your a believer. Melissa and Gene Scott are just sucking you people in to give money to live the high life in the name of GOD .. God is there marketing .......

I first saw Gene Scott when I moved to an area with this broadcasts when I was a young adult. I was fascinated with his strange, arrogant, colorful insanity. There wasn't a lot of weird stuff on TV at the time and I tended to look for it. That was twenty five years ago. People used to tease me because I would watch his show.

#68 — September 17, 2005 @ 22:08PM — H8N Lies [URL]

Al Barger, get a grip. It isn't the smut that is at issue, it's Melissa Scott aka Barbie Bridges lying about it, denying it's her when Suzy Randall and Earl Miller studies have verified that they are, and they own some of the copyrights. They're all over the internet.

Her hate comes out in not paying starving staff, demeaning congregants who cannot come to the cathedral for valid reasons such as taking care of special needs dependents, a long distance, or having to work on Sundays.
She blames her own volunteers and staff for her own shortcomings and mistakes, in meanspirited ways.

Right now, she's scoffing at anyone raising funds for Katrina victims, from kids having lemonade stands to the relief organizations to celebrities showing up to help or giving millions of dollars. She snarls that they're just doing it for the "hey look at me affect."

Who friggin' cares, if that is why, or part of why? They're doing what they can. They're giving. People there are dying and homeless.

The Scott's hated anyone giving money to any cause that wasn't to them.

She's a hateful angry person to Christian brethren, to her own flock, like Dr. Scott was. They both enjoy abusing their own underlings. Many are young, trusting adults. That's real hate.

Did you see her nude photos playing with herself, in holy rapture near orgasm on her face? That's self hatred, disrespect for God's temple.

#69 — September 17, 2005 @ 22:13PM — H8N LIES [URL]

Al Barger, Gene Scott was scholarly and intelligent; however, what makes you say he was faithful to Jesus? Didn't you see his angry demands to God to physically heal him of cancer as he was being eaten up by the cancer he chose to neglect for four years?

Last Sunday his widow, Melissa Scott aka Barbie Bridges broadcast that Dr. Scott did that so that people wouldn't think God was a liar if he didn't heal him. He had always preached going to the table of the Lord, the right way, his way, had to keep him and everone who did, healthy.

His faith was in himself to pull off the near impossible, not in God and Jesus to enter in and be with him, no matter what. He was an agnostic.

H8N Lies, I don't know where you get all this information about Mrs Scott. I find it unlikely that she would be scoffing at people raising hurricane relief funds, and especially that she would be doing so publicly such that you would be seeing it. Then again, I've never seen her, and maybe I just don't know.

However, when you say that Gene Scott was an agnostic, I'm afraid I'ma have to go ahead and question your police work there. I would not claim that Gene Scott was pure and righteous in all ways and times in his soul- nor would he have told you that, from anything I could see. One thing though, he surely gave every appearance of true and firm belief in Jesus Christ of Nazareth. You'd have a hell of a time convincing me otherwise than that.

#73 — September 24, 2005 @ 05:43AM — ann schultz

Could somebody please fill me in? There is much terrible stuff posted about Melissa Scott's post-Gene behaviors in the ministry - could you please tell me how you have gotten all this information?

I had not been to the Cathedral for a couple months before Dr. Scott died because I was out of town. Weird thing was, I came off the trip in early January and was planning to attend, had a reservation, and on that particular Sunday was one of the worst winter storms to hit Southern California in decades, and my street was flooded with high speed water to where it was not safe to drive. Then the following week I was sick and had not made a reservation, then the Sunday after that, I had another reservation, but something in my spirit, I am not kidding, sensed that I should not go, so I did not. Then I just stopped going because it just did not feel right, and then a couple weeks later, Dr. Scott was dead.

Sometime this summer I saw a couple of rebroadcasts of Sunday services with Melissa preaching and quickly realized that she simply did not have the depth, insight and style that her husband had and that it was a real shame that she was no longer singing, because preaching was definitely not her thing. Her singing and the band's music was some of the best and most fun, rockin' church music I had ever heard and I loved it! I was hoping and actually prayed that God would equip her to carry on the preaching if that was what He intended for her to do.

So what's the deal? Are you people actually seeing her bad behavior in the services? Are you seeing it in the studio during the Festivals? How do you know about the "stepping out" and catering to the "carnal desires" to which some of you have referred? There have been plenty of people with horrible, God-forsaken pasts who have been saved absolutely - can we be sure she really is still a pornographic bitch-goddess? Have any of you ever seen Dr. Scott himself bitch out a person in the audience for a ridiculously minor and perceived infraction, calling the poor slob an "asshole" three times on worldwide television, then throwing him out forever? (His crime? He "slumped down in his chair" in a "disrespectful" manner.) I have, I was there actually in the Cathedral when he did it, and I have witnessed other spectacular tirades during the service to the point that I finally left the church for several years. Yet I still knew him to be the finest expositor of Christian and Old Testament truths around, eloquent beyond anyone else I have ever heard.

It is not my job to decide and say who is the true Christian and who is not. Only God will do this. It is my job to search my own heart and ask the Spirit of God to help me clean it out, and to tell others about the condemnation of the Law and the redemption of the Gospel.

How did you know about "filthy water" at the baptism service? Why do you suppose that the people's statements during the service were contrived or forced or coerced? I was not there so I do not know.
Does anyone know when the Sunday service is rebroadcast on KDOC? It does not seem to be on when I thought it was.

#74 — September 24, 2005 @ 05:55AM — ann schultz

I meant, does anyone know when the Sunday service is rebroadcast on KDOC on the same Sunday, Melissa preaching? I am aware of the old services at 10pm.

Sunday:7-11....m-f: 10-11....I still haven't seen Melissa preach. So I can't answer that part, and in rebutel of what you said you witnessed. I guess to some, with out knowing in depth how passionate Doc was about GODS word, and the RESPECT he DEMANDED in GODS house, seemed absured to say or do some of the things he did. But if YOU really thought and lived like a true christen, you would honour GOD in the same way, especialy in GODS house. Most so called christens are to milk toast nambie pambys with no back bone, that would NEVER stand up or speak up to anyone who disrespects GODS house, or word. Doc on the ohter hand lived his life like a TRUE christian, with the courage, tenacity,and action BASED on GODS word that so few do. So you left the church, because you thought he was out of line for treating "some ignorant" few who DISRESPECTED GODS house....as for me I appaud Doc for DEMANDING respect in GODS house. Maybe now after the fact you can see that. He didn't do it to gain popularity, he didn't do it to be seen of men, He did it because he was a true man of GOD.

The info on Pastor Melissa Scott, aka Barbie Bridges,is public Ca. court and recorder's records, on the net and out of her own mouth. Check the summaries posted by ResearcherGuy, a pro P.I., on alt.fan.genescott.com, or talkaboutpeople.com for Gene Scott.

Some is leaked by insiders who laugh at her idiocy behind her back. Nobody respects the ignorant abusive tramp.
I was a Voice of faith, security, usher, cameraman for over 15 years.

God had enough of Gene Scott serving

Library & acquatics donations were a speck of what Gene stole from people and taxpayers, a pittance for 30 years of gorging at the pig trough. Scotts rarely fund anyone but themselves.

I have been apart of his ministry since 1982, and still to this day Gods word beems forward from the lips of Dr. Scott. Wheres the slashing? wheres the scams? if what you say were true the "feds" would have done something by now to her. And i think your full of crap about being there for 15 years serving in the ministry...#1 you had to have been a kings house #2 a tither #3 someone with brains....you fit none of the above!!! your nothing but a low life wanna be, that probely got turned away, and , or kicked out for being a moron....who do you think your convincing of your b.s??? you might fool some who don't know better, but as for me i have been a part of the ministry and an active partisipant in church activities, and your nothing but a false witness to what the ministry is. Doc don't need me to speak up for him GOD has his back, but for me to sit idol and say nothing to an ignorant fool putting down a good man, for doing GODS work, would be shamefull. As for you, may satan have a special seat for you right next to him, so you can spread your ignorance to the dammed.

Yes Ann, you had that link earlier. What's the problem? If in fact that hot thing is the widow of the late Rev Scott, I can only congratulate him posthumously on a fine catch. Presumably she has retired from such delightful wantoness. As Jesus said to the woman at the well, go forth and sin no more.

And why would you be so determinedly hateful toward this woman?

Again Ann, what's your problem? Are you jealous of her figure, or what?

Again, I do not know that this "Barbie Bridges" is the person you claim. I've seen no actual documentation, and you certainly have not provided any links that would satisfy me as proof.

Not that it would bother me if it was true. I could easily enough imagine Gene Scott marrying a retired hooker. Wouldn't shock me, nor would I think it was a particularly bad thing for him to have done.

I wouldn't necessarily believe any of your hateful statements here anyway, but I would find it especially unlikely that she's now running the ministry and still doing porn on the side as you imply. Seems extremely unlikely.

#86 — October 2, 2005 @ 17:03PM — uao [URL]

Well, my curiosity was certainly piqued, so I went and did a search for Barbi Bridges. (It's spelled Barbie or Barbi depending on the site; a quick google will reveal her in seconds)

Oh it's her, all right. Funny, I see her in a whole new light now.

Heavenly; God be praised.

I don't really care one way or another; I always fell alseep during Scott's program; never could follow all his muttering and marks on his whiteboard. If the dude married a porn babe, than the old coot had more on the ball than I thought, so to speak.

Whatever she's up to as Melissa is between her and Scott's followers. But it isn't the holiest of resumes.

I really liked this article, Al Barger; thanks for this information. I think I would have liked Gene Scott--

I like Christians who don't think laughter is a sin, and I get annoyed with jackasses too. I'll take a good joke and a song about killing pissants over Jim and Tammy Faye's mascara-streaked blubbering any day.

I can't believe people are so stupid and bound by their National Enquirer mentality! All these morons can talk about is Melissa's body, pictures, and former profession. Their rants simply indicate their arousal from the whole damned Melissa thing. These are the perverts that the Doc always talked about. The shallow brained twits who have nothing to say if they are not whitewashing over somebody they view as wrong or in sin. They need to get laid more often so that sex is not in the forefront of their clouded, feeble minds. Now, get laid several times before you read this next section and
you'll understand what and why the Doc did what he did with Melissa. At first, I didn't understand why Doc's interns didn't immediately step up and carry the message to the World as Doc once declared should happen upon his demise. When Melissa took over I was in shock. I thought about it and after a long meditation I saw this as a move that only a genius could come up with. Had his successor taken up the Ministry, eventually, human nature would take hold. The new Pastor would say to himself, "I am now the pointman here and I'll stop playing Doc's tapes and start sharing my brilliant insights." The temptaion is too strong. A man would want to take credit for what he is and not remain in the shadows of his predecessor. Human nature always seeks to elevate itself above even your vows to a dead man. Eventually, the Doc's voice would fade and we would hear more from the new voices... the interns. And I must say this now, If those interns who were discipled by the Doc are worth their weight in spit, if they don't like Melissa they should start their own work and apply all that the Doc taught them. They need to put up or shut up. Now here is the brilliance of this Melissa thing; Doc marries her and gives her a new name, and a new identity and purpose. If dense self righteous piss ants don't understand this they're not worth talking to Al. Who better than your wife to keep your voice alive? Who else will be faithfull to keep running the tv stream of videos. Call her what you will but if all she's called into the kingdom for is to keep the Doc's voice alive, then leave her alone. It is evident that she ain't the Doc. The money for that ministry flows as a result of the teaching. The Doc's failsafe is built in. If you're not fed, you don't pay. It's obvious to many. She doesn't and can't serve it up like good ol' Dr. Gene. If her head swells, I guarantee the money won't come in. She is bound to keep the Voice of Doc Scott going as long as she is able.

#89 — October 15, 2005 @ 00:25AM — Dan

Dr Gene Scott was fundamentally what all preachers are, especially the televangelical sort. He was a man in search of escape from what most of humanity calls "honest work." That he may have worked harder (and MUCH smarter) at his chosen craft than he would have at the honest sort is besides the point, to him it was all just play.

Normally, I might classify Preacher Scott with that other great avoider of all things that even remotely resembles honest work, G.W. Bush, except that, in watching Dr. Scott over the years, I really do believe he truly did despise the liar and lying as a method of getting one's daily bread.

I also don't personally see any bad thing about trying to avoid "honest work," just as long as it's not maliciously fobbed off on some other undeserving rube. As with the scoundrels or even the average East, East Texan, most of the world's true geniuses have usually managed to avoid being excessively afflicted by life's most redundantly depressing labors.

Consequently, angel Scott now gets to sit on a different pedestal, in an extensively cooler climate, and with a much higher class of manual labor delinquents, say like Vincent Van Gogh, Mozart, and Robert Heinlein (who was promoted to heaven only as a deifically hellish prank! Go ahead and re-read your Bible, G_d sometimes has a viciously wicked sense of humor), etc.

Gatosammy, well said on right on point. Been saying it all along, the congregation is the fruit of Docs teachings, and the true christens that will keep giving because of what Doc taught. Melissa can keep preaching, and growing in spirt, and that will come over time, but like you said sammy long as she keeps Docs messeges alive, and p laying is what really matters. As far as you are concerned Dan, what is it you do for an honest living???? that you sit there hidding behind your computer putting down a MAN OF GOD that devoted his whole life to a perpose??? Doc made that ministry a 24/7 access to God, with accuracy that is unpresidented in todays world! So what is it that you do Dan for a living that outs you above a man that devoted his whole life to helping other poeple get to heaven????? I suppose you have devoted your life to a worthy cause, that on judgment day you can say to God that " I worked hard and honestly for you God"????????? Dan you make me sick you scum bucket!

#92 — October 16, 2005 @ 01:44AM — IBdaMAN

Well Al, I don't like to hate on anyone, but if you read between the lines what he said, it's just a false statment. Believe me I know Doc don't need me to stick up for him, but it urks me to know end that some passer's by take a glimps of what and who Doc was, and base their ignorant opinions from a non-researched point of view. Point being even if it was president Bush that was the focus, having some moron place his views with NO basis for his opinion, and falsely slanderizing them, is enough fuel for me to get on their case.

Mr. "IBdaMAN"

People who suffer from the affliction of low self-esteem such as yourself are always so easy to spot because they invariably confer upon themselves such grandiose nicknames. As often as not, the nickname usually confirms approximately what delusions a poor fool is suffering from.

Preacher Gene Scott was an excellent example of what you are not, as he was the very epitomy of self-confidence. Indeed, I feel that Mr. Scott would never have adopted such a masturbatory alias like "IBdaMAN" because he already knew it. Furthermore, the people Dr. Scott hung out with also knew it. He didn't need to advertise.

You, on the other hand, are "da MAN" most probably with only a select few individuals simply because they really don't have the time to do much more than just humor you until visiting time is over.

My original statement regarding Dr. Scott clearly seperates him as a grain of truth swimming among a vast excess of Christian imposters who spend a career harvesting their opulent lifestyles like bottom-feeders in the propaganda cesspool that is American televangelism.

In that minister Scott chose a profession that is uncommonly populated by plastic-haired con artists and moral perverts testifies to his courage. That he quite successfully avoided the worst of their social disease attests to the circumstancial superiority of his own moral standards.

One thing I do know though, Gene Scott was not trying to "help" anybody "get to heaven." Scott's ministry was mostly one of "quid-pro-quo." His was a message of EDUCATION, and if you benefitted from his very subdued form of proselytizing then he expected you to pay for the message up front. THIS is what I liked about the guy, regardless of whatever flavor he used in his snake-oil. He refused to pretend compassion for the great unwashed masses who neither wanted his compassion, nor deserved it!

From its primordeal inception, religion has functioned within human civilization as a primary conduit of the most perverted immorality and abject oppression ever produced, even while prohibiting all criticism of itself by insisting that G_d commanded such criticism heretical! Now, I'm not referring to faith or spirituality, I'm just talking about what functions as nothing more than an incorporated bureaucratic devise perpetuating a very human institution.

In the meantime IBdaMAN, it seems extremely odd to me that you would pretend to defend Dr. Scott's "honor" by initiating such a fundamentally unChristian attack of irrelevant allegations, plainly false inuendo, gratuitous insults, and just general assholedry. If you are a premier example resulting from Dr. Scott's ministry, then by that Christian yardstick, Preacher Scott has apparently failed quite miserably.

The true tragedy really displayed by you here is that YOU ARE so representative of what passes for a Christian in these modern times. And it's because of this precise, prevailing circumstance that I so strongly disagreed with Gene Scott's definition of salvation, because he believed all that was really needed to qualify for G_d's eternal health care plan was "faith" in Jesus, a "confession" from what may pass as a heart, and a desire to get "born again." This insane litmus has resulted in a "Christian" America that conducts itself much more like an anti-Christ Empire, And is severely exacerbated by your average "ditto-head" Christian lover of Rush Limbaugh, who is so much more likely to spit upon the covenant of love and peace that Jesus demanded of those who would follow Him than comply with its directives.

At its most basic IBdaMAN, you're just another hypocrite, and hypocrisy certainly ain't gonna get YOU into "heaven."

Dan

#94 — October 16, 2005 @ 14:30PM — IBdaMAN

Just fyi azzwipe, several others refer to me as "IBdaMAN" and it's an alias I use because it's how "they" see me. It was not self-proclaimed, and if i was wrong on how I read and interpreted what you wrote earlier, my appologies, but after reading your 2nd entry I stand by my responce! You don't know me other than what you read in my responce to your flavorful misguided words you fonted, and how was i being a hypocrite? Do you know what the word means? or you just trying to cover up your lack of knowledge with more " flvorful" words? and as far as what Doc produced in me as far as being a christen, I believe i'm on the right tract! and the remark "help" people to get to heaven I was right on the mark you moron! God lead Doc on a path of preaching his word, it was NOT all about "education" Doc was an "educated man" yes, and he spoke from an "educated" platform, but Gods word that came from the "educated" pastor was nothing less then what Doc found to be what God wanted him to speak and live, turning on the light switch, so that people who had eyes to see would see, and the ones who were able to see would follow. Doc's mission was not out to "help" the world to get to heaven, but to "help" those who had eyes to see, see, and lay out the map to get to heaven. And no he never asked ANYONE to "pay up front" he always said" if I have taught you in the word, you owe"! and like I said at the beginning of this responce, I never claimed nor self-prclaimed I was " DaMan" It was givin to me by my peers, and is just a screen name I use, so if your just trying to "dig" to get under my skin, move on. Stick to the platform on hand, and get off your "digs", and "dig" at the substance rather then the personal attacks!

I was a young trusting, aka gullible, kh, kt, usher, vof, came in under the philippians band, had a dish, dish#, too. Then I grew up when my dad got cancer and I got disciplined for not being "at my post" and being unable to
turn over all my money without during back on my very own dad, as pressured by mean Gene. That was before HE got cancer, then it was OK to miss church, like Melissa did, to wipe his shriveled butt. That's when the scales fell from my eyes.

Now I see Cheryl & other scotties walking around battling their cancer, hair falling out, with zero help from their church. No, it's all for PMS.

Her past and photos matter not, it's her prideful empty headed abuse, give it all to me, I'm superior to everyone attitude that is the issue. She's a liar and a thief, a false teacher and merciless task master.

Melissa acts like she's better than any other bible scholar in the world. She totally ignores what others have given to Gene, that she stands on now.

God is dealing with her, and will continue to do so. You watch. She is
blaspheming his name, and his bride,
the church, which is the people.
Listen to Satan if you want.

By some fluke, I stumbled across this web page, much like I stumbled across Dr. Gene Scott's church when I lived in Los Angeles.

Should I feel sad about his passing? Hell no! You specify that "personal attacks are not allowed." Does this mean you don't care to hear about my encounters with that egomaniacal liar, fraud, and vermin?

When I have more time, I'll give you a synopsis of the book I'm writing about the corruption at Wescott Christian Center, KVOF, and the horse ranches, houses, airplanes, and buildings he bought for himself with the church's money.

While he spent his career defaming good AND bad preachers, he was the oxymoron he publicly despised! From the burning of the Los Angeles Public Library to the attempted purchase of Church of the Open Door, I will prove that this parasite should have spent his remaining years in prison, where he could have found his most devout congregation and lived out his warped fantasies!

Read Glenn Bunnings feature article in the LA Times. It reports about how the bastard tried to have me killed because I refused to work for free. I have learned, firsthand, how he swindled his "thousands" of followers with his "secrets," and I know the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of his cronies. Got your attention, yet? If I mourn any loss, it's that the SOB won't have to face me in court! I don't believe in Satan, nor in hell. So, where can I send him an autographed copy?

Second that, Don. I'd be most interested in reading your book- though I find it hard to believe that Gene Scott would be going around trying to have people killed.

#100 — November 3, 2005 @ 14:04PM — Charlene Mosqueda [URL]

The first time I saw Dr. Scott was in 1973 as I was cleaning my living room and had the tv on. I didn't know what he was all about but thought he was so handsome. As the years went on I noticed one couldn't turn the tv through all it's channels without seeing that handsome white haired guy stiil on the tub. In 1988 my second husband and I seperated and I was considering leaving this planet early. Then I saw him again on tv and this time I stopped and listened. At first I couldn't believe they would let that guy on tv. He was shocking and bold,even insulting, but I still listened and slowly I begain to understand. I fell in love with that handsome man in that healthest of ways . I got a short wave radio and had it on 24/7. Dr. Scott took me and through me my entire family on the greatest adventure of our lifetime.
I was so socked to find out he was gone yet I new this day would come and wondered what would I do without him. I lay in my bed at night and remember the hours he filled and the excitment of the jouney. Because of him I became a self educated person and learned for the first time in my life about I Jesus who loved me.
My tears are many for the loss in my life, and I will never forget that handsome young man I first saw on tv in 1873. Thanks Gene for your gift.

Dr. Gene Scott was a lost man who thought he was going to heaven upon his death...I bet he's suprised at where he really ended up. How sad that he was so blinded by his own genius and even sadder, how he deceived so many followers. The man was a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Dr. Gene Scott ? I have find the real true believer that is just as enlighting as Gene can you say SATAN......

#104 — November 7, 2005 @ 02:59AM — susan

You know I have studied the messages on this site and have come to the conclusion there are many unforgiving folks stating thier mind regarding Dr Gene's wife Malissa Scott. I'd like to say, " I don't know where I would be, if it weren't for second chances ". I have faith in the God of a second chance.
I have to say I was shocked at Dr. Gene's choice in women too. But after the shock went away, I had to remember my checkered past and how I was forgiven. Certainly there is more then one forgiven person on this planet. I believe that program is afforded to everyone.
I feel most people need to clean up their own back yard before they start on their neigbor's. Then stop and remember, we all have secrets we want kept secret. Dr. Gene brought this mega sinner to a mirror and made me look at what I was, and then he enriched my life by showing me who I was.
Lay off Mrs. Scott because`you all need to work on self. Of corse she is no Gene Scott! There will never be another Gene Scott, but she is sincere, was found and saved by our Lord. Will she make it as a pearcher? Ask me in 10 years.

Hi-
i HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING GENE SCOTT SINCE 1983. IN THE BEGINNING WHEN I FIRST RAN ACROSS HIM ON TV, I TRIED TO WALK AWAY SEVERAL TIMES ONLY TO BE DRAWN BACK EVERY 15 MINS. NOT WILLING TO BE MISLEAD BY ANYBODY, I DOUBLED AND TRIPLED CHECKED EVERYTHING. QUICKLY I FOUND THAT THIS WAS THE BEST PLACE TO LEARN. IT IS EASY TO GO THROUGH MOST COMMENTARIES AND TELL YOU WERE THE PERSON IS WRONG. I DON'T AGREE WITH EVERYTHING HE SAID, HOWEVER I CAN PUT MY MINOR DISAGREEMENTS ON THE BACK OF A MATCHBOOK. ADVICE? FIND WHAT HE SAID THAT YOU DONT LIKE, AND FIND THE ANSWERS IN THE BIBLE. IF YOU FIND THEM ANYWHERE ELSE, YOU'RE PROBABLY WRONG.

For years I had listened to Dr. Scott on short wave in Colombia, where I live. Intriguing and sometimes provocative. Then a year or so ago I heard him chastising the congregation for not volunteering, not doing their jobs, how he was going to throw them all out.

Unfortunately because of the undated organization of the broadcasts one had no idea whether that harangue had happened that day, a day before or a year before.

I listened only occasionally in the last few months, and Dr. Scott what there telling me to GET ON THE TELEPHONE. Then a week ago I hear this woman's voice instead of Dr. Scott's. She was literally whining about how this had been thrust upon her and the everybody should live up to their pledges, and that they should send the money in in her name, and not in the name of Dr. Scott. AHA, I said. Gene Scott is dead and this can only be his wife and heir.

As a voice from beyond the pews I would like to say that it is easy to predict that the Scott ministry is going to fall in on itself in a big hurry. I raise my voice in support of preserving the tapes of Scott's lectures and getting them organized for systematic transmission on a cycle that corresponds with either their original timeline or a thematic one. And this should be put out there on the airwaves with a program and syllabus.

Sorry to hear that the curmudgeon is gone. Adios, Doc.

I have been a Kings House since 1989. Doc made me realize that having faith and receiving the eternal reward, didn't mean I had to be perfect. I am very saddened by his death last year.

Come and listen to a story about a man named Eugene
Poor old preacher always acting mean

Then one day while puffin a cigar
He thought to himself,hey Im a preaching superstar

Self anointed that is, Selfrighteous,Egomaniacil

Well the next thing ya know old Genes a millionaire
Robbing his congregation just seemed downright more
than fair

Said Californy is the place I oughta be
So he married a porn actress and moved to Beverly

Hills that is
Swimmin pools,movie stars


Well now its time to say goodbye to Gene and all his
kin
And they would like to thank you folks for all the
money you've sent in.

Your all invited back again to this locality
To have a heapin help of his nastyass'ole personality

Charlitin that is,Watch a while,Send your money in
Ya all get on the phone now ya hear
BOOK OF HOAKSTERS
Chapter:7 Verse:11
And see my prophet Dr.Loveless Scott
For I have given unto him
ladies,limos,learjets,luxury
mansions,show horses,
cuban cigars
with which to puff himself up
and many fools to magnify himself
(YE SHALL KNOW THEM BY THEIR FRUITS
NOT THEIR SUITS
YE SHALL KNOW THEY ARE MY DISIPLES BY
THE LOVE THEY HAVE ONE FOR ANOTHER)

Gene Scott. I want to meet him once more than anything in the world, and take him up on his noblest promise of paying my fare to come and argue with him. There's many a thing we would come to agreement on, I'm sure if he was still here he would buy some more horses and scream at some people. I recently came into contact with an escaped slave from his California ranch. Tyrone Washington said that he was the greatest masta ever one could have. Gene Scott is one person that I would never challenge to a drinking contest. The one time I had the nerve to go drinking with my old dad, he beat my ass in beer pong and we went outside and he argued me down more than anybody else in a 24 hour ratio. I bought him his glasses that he wore till he died. He was buried in those glasses, so I had to exume his lacadasical corpse to get them back. They are currently on sale on e-bay. Make all your snap-judgements you fucking embeciles, poppa gene was not an idiot.

I grew up in the Lutheran church, longing to be an Alter Boy. My faith was crushed by a pastor who probably never should have been in the ministry in the first place. For years I ignored God. Out of desperation I parayed that god would give me a job and he came through. I vowed I would in turn serve him but never seemed to find a way. When flipping TV chanels I came across a white haired guy sitting in a chair. I said to my wife, who is that guy? her response, "I don't know, but he never goes to the bathroom." That statement so struck me that I determined to see if he ever did get out of that chair and go to the bathroom. Listening to Dr. Scott changed my life. I was born again, learned to read the Bible for myself, and make decisions based on Biblical truth, not religious dogma. I have been serving God ever since. No matter what you may have heard someone say about Dr. Scott, his basic doctrine never changed, he was sent to minister to the unusual man who couldn't be reached by any other christian. I am saved and serving in the local church because of Dr. W. Eugene Scott. For that I am eternally greatful. Sincerely, Rev. Dr. Karl Hansen, D.D.

I can only thank the universe that I wasn't raised as a Lutheran, whatever weird variety of Christianity that may be, if this is what passes for intellectual or philosophical discourse to its adherents.

If you were taught by Mr. Scott you were caught by Mr. Scott. Not one deed or word of his was without an attempt profit itself or self agrandizement in total. He was one of those folks that feed on the weak minded and amateur thinkers, overthrowing their souls with license and dazzling bullshit, setting them "free" and into a wilderness of hero worship and degradation. His first days at Faith Center were filled with upheaval as he made it his own, and creating such distracting and ugly atmosphere most of the congregation left. His radio broadcasts then were filled with a much rawer version of his TV performances. The stark contrast of the former solid Bible teaching to the belacose rantings to arouse the worst sentiments in the listening audience. Many people know who is really is and it's not these folks that claim their life was changed. No doubt he has changed and damaged many folks. At the judgement seat of Christ all we be know. Nothing of his words or behaviour indicate that he knew or ever knew Jesus Christ as Lord or Saviour. He boasted on radio in the early years that he taught Oral Roberts how to fleece the flock. That I have on tape from the time when he first came to Faith Center and was fighting for absolute control. Someone might find something in these comments that they will use to discredit my witness but it is true never the less. I stopped watching him years ago while he was still crying with snot dripping a carrying on like a very disturbed individual. he refused to listen to any voice but his own and stood in his own council. If he was wealthy before he got to Faith Center , where did it come from? Did he have a job somewhere? Did he inherit it? He was supposedly doing God's work. Few get rich serving God. Mr. Scott lies waiting for the resurrection and judgement of the dead. Those that follow him will do likewise. Ok, Scott defenders , work your magic logic on my comments. Despite the policy of not attacking personally, Mr. Barger seems to likes to get a few chicken shit digs in , church lady style. Just posture as morally outraged and let me have it baby. What I wrote is still the truth as any of the early Faith Center folks could confirm if they ever found this blog. I won't respond to comments as it is a bit spiritually icky here. I just read and thought I needed to speak up since it is an unfriendly forum for those that do not honour this man's deeds and words. Thank you.

#126 — March 15, 2006 @ 17:31PM — Al Barger [URL]

M Gale, thank you for your thoughtful comments. You make a fair case against ol' Gene. I'm more generous and forgiving of him than you are, but then I'm not a Christian, so he's not abusing MY beliefs.

I was intrigued by this tape you say you have of Scott talking about teaching Oral Roberts how to "fleece" the flock. You should get that converted into digital form, and propogate it. I would LOVE to have an mp3 for my home MoreThings website of Gene talking like that. I'd post it for one and all.

A couple of small criticisms, though. You don't need to be quite so defensive with me. I might criticize as I think appropriate and needful, but I'm not malicious, and I ain't trying to get ya. Don't 'noid out on us.

Also, it would improve your literary impact considerably if you could just break your writing up into paragraphs. Something that long, most people even who are interested will lose there place after a few lines- besides the thoughts themselves running together- and just give up. A mere half dozen carriage returns would help considerably.

it never ends here.. everyone has here has opinion's of old Gene but didnt jesus, moses, martin luther , paul and peter talked with authority ??? Why because they were taught by God personally or like gene and martin luther, did hard studies in gods word . and like old gene said a thousand times dont take his word for his teaching go read the bible and study history for yourself. i dont know what your bible says but when jesus returns what did he say he was looking for ,, FAITH ! not people who act like christians.. And faith is an action word in the original greek.

YOU jackass critics havent spent 5 hours reading your bible . cause if you did you would know the truth. DID not paul say the righteous shall live by FAITH

that is what OL gene lived by , so you that judge, are gonna get yours !!! JESUS said my last statement , read the four gospels and repent!!!

this statement is not to piss anybody off, but to wake some of you up ! i dont worship gene and im not a cultist . but the man taught me Faith action in GOD's word and thats what i live by .

Gene Scott was a jerk a prick an asshole an egomaniac an overconfident self righteous cold hearted old coot with standards that were amazingly high....i think that his teachings (which can be checked re-checked and checked again and proven, for the most part, to be completey accurate) were just what the world as whole needed to break free of the beuracratic hypocrytical christian traditions that "make void the word of God" you can make you judgements on whether of not he is in heaven and anyone can tell you that youre wrong and you can have an argument for years about it and none of it will matter God (judging through his promised son, Jesus) makes the final judgment based on faith alone as Paul states in romans, and if faith isnt the way to heaven what was the point of jesus?

I worked for Gene Scott providing security for him at his home in Pasadena for a while. I was NOT one of his followers but paid by a private security company. I can say in all honesty that he was one of the biggest assholes I have ever met thus far in life. He treated his employees more like slaves and was nasty to everyone around him. He was totally full of himself and did nothing other than manipulate the weak minded. If there is a hell, he is certainly burning in it as we speak.

Now S1, comment #136 is definitely not right. "That is your US Dollars in his pocket" Gene Scott did not make a living on tax money, so it wasn't "your US dollars" being grafted. I can understand people having a whole lot of issues with ol' Gene, but everyone who sent him money did so voluntarily. You might think they were dupes, but no one had a gun at their heads.

S one, hey hell is a hot place bro , but i respect your right to your opinion, read your bible and find the truth for yourself ... before you judge ! and isnt it funny here on this blog, everybody attacks gene scotts personality but knowbody says anything about what he taught from the bible or history. and and far as being weak minded he taught the church to learn about everything they could about truth ,, somebody thats trying brainwash people wants to keep there followers in the dark ?? here just some examples ,, hitler , jimmy jones , david koresh,
doesnt history show this just to name a few ? OL gene demanded the church to search out the truth. and he also said if you didnt like it turn the channel and if you were not taught by him dont send him any money. name one other christian channel that says that !!! ohh but they say, send us 20 dollars and well send you a a cheap trinket for jesus... give me a break !!

I have only heard Melissa speak twice but I found her very capable of expressing her understanding of the scriptures. She seems to have a deep desire in studying the difficult questions possed by Genesis. I pray that she will continue to grow in understanding and will influence many people to study the scriptures. Please give her time and I think you will be pleasantly surprised. I wish she would record all of her teaching as her husband did with his teaching, as I believe many people will want it some day soon on DVD, as I would like it, if available. Thanks for the opportunity to encourage Melissa.

i watched mean gene for years i knew he was an asshole but he taught like no other so i give credit where credit is due. never did send him a dime though, evertime he started ranting about stuff id just shut him off and come back later when he had moved on.

went to faith center once back in the eighties then once or twice otthe church of the open door. i didnt like the fact that the off duty asshole cops under his direction would not let you sit where you wanted to sit but always manged to shove you into a seat next to some old gieser. i remember one time i got up to go to the bathroom and heard him start ranting, i didnt give a crap and went out anyway.

i never cared to go to his church becasue he was an asshole about it, so i would just check out the archives online but now they are gone so that sucks. anyway barbie wont eve get a dime either.

#141 — May 2, 2006 @ 17:43PM — Me

I just started listening to him on ShortWave a few months ago. I like his sermons a lot. For me he is an antidote for all my yrs stuck in faith groups which seemed only capable of agrivating my weakness'. Dr. Scott has helped me. For this I am indebted.
Thaks Dr. Scott.

#142 — May 4, 2006 @ 19:40PM — Wally Ramone

I wonder when Doc's Official web site will acknowledge his passing. Everything about it would lead one to believe he is still alive and kicking.

#143 — June 1, 2006 @ 04:36AM — Michael

His wife is running the biggest scam in history. replaying his sermons on TV, acting like he is still alive. Why doesn't the Feds shut down his website and force his wife to declare he's dead on his website. Check it out it's unbelivable


#144 — June 1, 2006 @ 04:42AM — Michael [URL]

See Dr.Gene Scott in action. You think he is a Christian?

#145 — June 1, 2006 @ 04:51AM — Al Barger [URL]

Michael, obviously you've got issues about the late Rev. That video is pretty cute, as far as I'm concerned- but then, I'm not a believer.

You could perhaps reasonably argue that Gene Scott was not a very good example of Christianity, depending on your standards, but the late pastor certainly was a Christian, with an abiding faith in Jesus Christ. I do not doubt his basic sincerity one bit.

Plus, I don't see how re-running his old sermons is a "scam," and certainly it is of absolutely no interest to the government. There's that pesky First Amendment thing, and all.

#146 — June 5, 2006 @ 02:24AM — faither

IVE Said it once here ill say it AGAIN, read your bible and find the truth for yourself ... before you judge ! and isnt it funny here on this blog, everybody attacks gene scotts personality but knowbody says anything about what he taught from the bible or history. and and far as being weak minded he taught the church to learn about everything they could about truth ,, somebody thats trying brainwash people wants to keep there followers in the dark ?? here just some examples ,, hitler , jimmy jones , david koresh,

#147 — June 18, 2006 @ 16:57PM — Scared [URL]

Very scary. very confusing.
If we cannot judge that someone is a non-believer going to hell, what gives us the right to judge that someone is a believer and going to heaven? If by your standard we cannot judge someone is evil,what gives us the right to judge someone is good,or saved? To be absolutely fair you must not praise either the negative or positive judgements as both are forbidden. NO JUDGING or pats on the head for judging according to your opinion.
Those people,the Scotts, the church, they are a little too Jim Jones, poison kool-aid flavored for my Bible taught discernment,wisdom,or judgement as you choose to define it. Thank-you.

I am surprised at the amount of grovelling sycophants who line up to kiss this buffoons ass long after he is dead . Where is your dignity you simpletons . I am not a televangelist . LMFAO ! Your a huckster of the highest order and an abusive one at that . I think Gene has an appointment in Hell thats about to come due . Why . His comment to a man who donated his rent money . "you wouldnt be the first one to be thrown out of his house for Jesus ".

How can a man say that he loves God and ignore his Brother in need .

Its good that this prick is gone .

#149 — July 20, 2006 @ 18:48PM — Coco Bronze

I've heard Melissa Scott teach and I must say that she is pretty good! I am not interested in what her past might have been; what is important "now" is that she honor the Lord Jesus with her life and ministry! Also, she is a very sexy, good looking woman and that in itself will cause some to be jealous. It is a good thing that she usually clothe her beautiful attributes with a very conservative and appropriate attire while speaking. Otherwise, most of you could not handle the beauty of this sexy woman!

#150 — August 6, 2006 @ 22:23PM — Janet Defibaugh

I remember channel surfing back in the 80's and I came upon Dr Gene Scott late one night. He caught my attention and I started watching. I loved it when he talked about the pyramids. Such a character. "Get on the damn telephone!!"

#151 — August 27, 2006 @ 00:48AM — LULU [URL]

Somewhere there has to be Good in all of us including Dr. Gene and Melissa.....Who are we to Judge others. I respect and admire Melissa for getting out of the sewer she was trying to survive in with her ex husband. In my view, she is certainly a beautiful lady,however, I do not think she is a very good Reverend or Preacher or Teacher or whatever, she calls herself...The Gene Scott Phenomenon will soon fold and be gone...That is how it works....

#152 — September 2, 2006 @ 01:21AM — ITZME

Old Doc may be partying...but it 's sure as hell in not in heaven.

#153 — September 11, 2006 @ 10:37AM — Michael

well i don't know what makes you think that He isn't still alive and kicking. the ol doc is in Heaven and where he deserves to be. away from all the lies of you critics that cannot make up your mind about "a" religion or yet alone what is truth and what isn't. but i don't have anything to worry about, because when God comes, which by the times these days and by prophecy and revelations..if anyone would take the time to read it..tells you of how today is in every detail what is predicted hundreds of years ago. Dr. Scott is someone like God says..He will take the good away before the final days come...

oh and the website that you had us look at..doc's website clearly states "the LATE Doctor Gene Scott" His message is still going around world wide and its sad to think that the critics can't seem to trample on Melissa..lol she just shuts you all down..

#154 — September 15, 2006 @ 10:52AM — Kimberly

I think that Dr. scott was a modern day prophet. he will be deeply missed, and the world is in a load of trouble without him. we should pray that Melissa keeps up his work. He had a flock to lead, and he chastened his flock the way he needed to. GOD bless you Melissa.. Someone needs to keep on demystafying spiritual things, in this world full of lost tradition keeping souls.

#155 — September 25, 2006 @ 15:04PM — Deborah

About Dr. Gene Scott---Time will tell, then it won't matter what ANY of you had to say about it!

#156 — September 25, 2006 @ 15:17PM — Mac

What a bunch of foolish followers of a reprobate with a filthy mouth. You state that he knew the Scriptures? Well so does the devil and his angels. Being able to quote and teach the Bible means nothing if your life and heart are dark.
Let me put it this way: if he is in heaven, then ANYONE can go there! Good riddance to a deceiver of men!

#157 — November 12, 2006 @ 12:22PM — gkopit2003

what about the 16 demands dr. scott made to the church before they hired him ? why is everyone running from that ? if they have the list, why don't they post it ?

#158 — November 15, 2006 @ 02:19AM — Mark

I'm currently living in L.A. working, at night, I flip through the satellite channels. This is how I've come to know of Melissa Scott. Honestly, I searched her name because I thought she was sexy. Fortunately for me she was also a porn star, may I add, not bad looking in the buff. Nevermind that she is a horrible speaker. I grew up in the church and have heard the same trite words so many times, in a way that at least temporarily fooled my young mind. Who does she think she's fooling? Who cares about these idiots? Gene Scott was a foremost a conman, but secondly a dilettante with terrible penmanship. His "wife" can't can't convey even simple information using the english language. Personal observations aside, God(whatever he is) has given us all minds that posess varying degrees of intellect, I suggest you use yours and throw man-made religion away(yes, christianity/islam/judaism/catholicism/buddhism etc...) and seek the truth for yourself. If God answers prayers, pray for the truth! You won't hear anything.

#159 — November 15, 2006 @ 02:35AM — rajah524

DSM Axis II Schzoid Personality Disorder in the pews. DSM Axis II Antisocial Personality Disorder and... (see below) in the pulpit. Google Sharon Ekleberry or Theodore Millon for explanations.

I love to watch Melissa. With the sound muted. She is a forensic psychologist's dream girl. Few that physically gifted have the patience to work the long-term grift.

Does Pastor Pastore believe in or care about what she says when she's wandering around on the stage like a Bipolar Mixed Manic on a stiff dose of Depakote? If she doesn't, then she is one talented little charlatan. If she does, it's no wonder. Because she's very probably a Schizoid herself.

I've never met a career call girl, lap or pole dancer, porn actress or madame who hadn't been serial raped by the men in the family for a good long time. Most of them go Borderline, Histrionic, Antisocial or Passive-Aggressive (Negativistic).

I have seen a few go charmingly Narcissistic, but it's rare. So is Schizoid for these women, but given her intellectual -capacity- (not her acquired knowledge), it's not a surprize that she appears to be Schizoid -and- Antisocial.

Which equals a screwball intellectual and an immoral wallet vacuumer.

In Gene, she is a true believer. In herself, she is a reformed vending machine turned social dominatrix. I pray for her every day.

I pray for her every day. I hope she becomes a really big-time televangelist so that we can all watch the mighty (and beautiful) fall on Dateline or 60 Minutes.

#160 — December 1, 2006 @ 23:33PM — Lana [URL]

I watched Pastor Melissa on TV few times and I absolutely love her teaching. She is great! I do not know about her past (who cares about it anyway), but I know for sure that she has a wonderful future.

#161 — December 22, 2006 @ 22:37PM — Andrew

Having listened to Dr. Scott off and on the past couple years, like some have commented, I found much of his behavior disturbing, many indications he had a prime motivation to bring in those dollars. On the other hand, there were times he showed some real brilliance and insight into, especially, faith and justification, and did preach faith in Jesus Christ alone for salvation. Given this, it's clear that it's for none on earth to comment on Dr. Scott's eternal disposition, whether he was a con man at heart with a good education, or sincere, with disturbing, contradictory quirks, of a sometimes large nature. A man can have much knowledge and a basic heart for the Lord, but have major struggles with the flesh I suppose. Paul commented on such struggles, the exact nature of which are unknown, but that he did things he shouldn't do, Romans 7:19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.

As for Melissa Scott, I've read she was the daughter of a mafia father or mafia type. There's no doubt her upbringing was of an environment of vileness and sin on a major level, would not at all surprise me that her home had porno in it, and that she heard and saw many things that misguided her and grew her up quickly. So, I'm not shocked she was in porno, as mafia children most often get, at least, into some sort of white collar crime or scamming, if they don't, in fact, become mafia. That said, I have some serious reservations about her. I find it difficult to understand how, with her background as fresh as it is, she's somehow a master of languages, including the ancient. I notice during her sermons, she plays with a few words or letters, but haven't seen the degree of her quickly and spontaneously writing and reading the languages as Dr. Scott did, especially writing. I wonder if her language skills are real, and have not heard they've been tested. This is important, as it's one way of knowing her veracity. If she is a language whiz, can rap with somebody in Greek, Syriac, or Hebrew, fine, but I've not seen this. Some of the conclusions she comes to seem contrived, like the trees fallen that made Noah's ark representing Christ being slain, or one instance where she claimed physical healing is inherent in faith, a "just claim it" sort of thing. There's not precedent for this, and there have been many verifiable giants of Christ fallen by disease, before they reached an age of needing a cane, who, surely, had faith sufficient for healing. Include in those people Paul, who didn't get inherent healing of his "thorn in the flesh." She's young, with a questionable background of being deep in sin, and I'm not throwing stones, but I do believe she's not qualified to lead a church, even if it's the case she's sincere, and she has an arrogance about her, does seem to strut the stage and act as if she's going to dazzle everybody with some new revelation or twist on the Bible never before heard, this not even a decade removed from porno. I've not found her sermons as profound as she clearly seems to, and even Dr. Scott gave sermons from other peoples' material: you can rehash somebody else's book, somebody else's brilliance or inspiration, without having a drop of it yourself. But Melissa seems to have all the swagger of somebody who's been steeped for decades in ancient manuscripts and languages, pointing out all the revelations other people have missed in the shapes of the letters, and I'm quite skeptical she has any such knowledge. It's not difficult to write a bunch of stuff on boards from translations, study some words in lexicons, and pretend to be a scholar. Put it this way, if she is a scholar, I don't know how she got that way, made such a leap from porn star, before the age of 40. Call me skeptical, and, IMO, Melissa is not a suitable teacher, even if she is sincere, for lack of real experience and grounding in the Word of God, given her background, and she could be a fraud. As for her preaching, so far I've seen ramblings of somebody trying to be profound, with little substance. A little Latin, folks: caveat emptor.

#162 — December 24, 2006 @ 01:16AM — karmabites

According to Dr. Gene Scott: "With Jesus, you've got what C. S. Lewis called the "startling alternate." Either He thought these things were true, but was too stupid to know it's impossible for a man to make these claims, and thus he could not be wise, or he was wise in knowing these things weren't true, but was capable of duping his followers because of self-serving motives into believing that about him, and that makes him not good."

Perhaps Dr. Scott was not overtly implying Jesus was not the son of God but just felt there was no room in Dr. Scott's universe for any God but himself. Shame. Duping his followers: In one program it is said that when one finger points out the (misperceived fault in this case) of another three are pointing back. So was Jesus duping his followers or was Dr. Scott. I dare think he is in heaven having discussions with Christ's apostles.

#163 — December 29, 2006 @ 03:18AM — Rev. Alan W. Whitelock H.R.

I have recently discovered the broadcasts and rebroadcasts which are being discussed in the above comments of others.
I do not know the past history of the good or bad Doctor, but I do know the scriptures and the Biblical languages. Having taught 50 years and satisfied ordination requirements in the Presbyterian Church U.S.A., I appreciate the telecasts I have heard and the work Melissa is doing in trying to present God's saving grace as best she understands it. It seems she is for God helping sinners and therefore I can only conclude she is for the truth in Jesus Christ, and not against Him!
I wish her well and like Benny Hinn hope that she and he are sincere and will be a credit to the Gospel of forgiveness and redemption.

#164 — December 29, 2006 @ 21:39PM — eli scott [URL]

I work and volunteer for Gene Scott and Pastor Melissa Scott, and my tech business in order and take good care of my family. Some people choose to ignore God's callings for them to serve other than their celebrity pastors. They get caught up in feeling righteous about being in the spot light, not doing what God puts in their hands.
God gives each man and woman their own toils and cross to bear. Since neither Dr.Gene Scott or Mrs. Melissa Scott had children, dependent parents or outside businesses to take care of, their world and "baby" is their ministry. They are human and don't always see what burdens life and the Lord, for his own purpose, put on the shoulders of faithing Christians.

#165 — December 29, 2006 @ 21:41PM — eli scott [URL]

I accidentally clicked on this channel one night and saw this young woman preaching, I guess that is what you call what she was doing.

Since then, I have found out a lot of strange things about this so called "pastor"...

Not sure what she is up to...A guess a LOT of repentance..............

I was born-again through Dr Gene Scott's TV show in New York City in 1984, when he said, "This is how you can prove Jesus Christ is who He said he was" I have been going around proving just that to everyone who will listen since then. Blessings, Arthur.

#169 — January 12, 2007 @ 11:43AM — deb

here are just a few of the stills from this unordained self and Gene Scott proclaimed "pastor". Link to Danish porn site

She never speaks of being repented or having turned her life around and thanking God. She also doesn't help others in the porn industry that she and her business Barbie Bridges Enterprises was a part of even when with Dr. Scott.

#170 — January 29, 2007 @ 22:12PM — Ike Chidolue

Never has any man expounded the truth of scriptures with such dept & clarity as did Dr. Gene Scott. Dr. Scott feed his followers and listeners with wisdom from on high, not the type taught from some pulpits nowadays.
I wept when I heard that Dr. Scott has gone ahead to be with our Lord, however I am comforted by these words of Apostle Paul ..."and we have come unto Mount Zion...unto the SPIRITS OF JUST MEN THAT HAVE BEEN PERFECTED BY CHRIST THROUGH DEATH..."(in my own words).
By this I know that even though Dr. Scott is gone, however sometimes when I share the Word with people, I minister in the spirit of men like Dr. Scott, I actually, passionately, know that their mantles have touched my life and this is evident in the dept and similarity of the message I share. Even though I never meet Dr. Scott physically, however these things are 100% spiritual, & the connections are done in the spirit by God & through our hunger for righteousness. We of the Faith, go about carrying the "spirits of men"---just men made perfect...
So now I can boldly look up, with an understanding that Dr. Scott has become a part of that great cloud of witnesses surrounding us-the elect of Christ, Amen.
Respectfully yours
Ike

Just found Dr. Gene Scott on television. Wow! What a hoot. If you can get past his obvious abrassive exterior...the man has a real message! It is the weak and simple minded that cannot or chose not to walk in maturity toward his message. Gene wasn't cocky...he was simply super confident...the kind of confidence you have when you know that you know the sky is blue. When you have that kind of confidence it is difficult to believe a lie. Some speculate that he was "unteachable" The fact is, he was very learned and "teachable"...you just needed to have your fact together and approach him with something irrefutable in order for him to acknowledge the truth. Dr. Gene was definately a seeker of the truth...I for one am inspired by his teaching and understanding of the word, though I may not agree with 100% of his doctrine I agree with 99.8% of it. He certainly has done his homework and he speaks as one having authority! As for Melissa...well...in the words of my buddy Elijah...some folks were called to preach and some folks were called to be super models....I like her teaching, but she would have made a good supermodel as well! :)

Dr. Scott. One of the most profound scholars of our time and had he lived another ten years would have found what he long search for on earth, BUT taken to heaven as earth could not have handled the knowledge. Who God "is." Religions have much to learn about behavior and their "God of Wrath" for he is not the one of HEAVEN.

#177 — March 25, 2007 @ 14:41PM — suarezelec

Comment for Melissa,
The knowledge of the Lord is not found within "MAN" but "of" he who is in heaven. Man confounds that which is wisdom "from" the holy and languages are the adversary of the wise upon earth. In Amen are all things possible and through Jesus even MORE.......

Beginning in 1998 _____ began recording/downloading all of Dr. Scotts Sermons on Real audio - he's not the only one either. There are about 20 of us out here. He archived everything he had on his site and purchased at least 60% of his other messages. In the next year He will have them all on CD/DVD. He plans to make them available within the year...for FREE. All he asks is that you do the same. Send them out and give them away. Copy them. Let the Word of God Go Out across the world.

It's just the sunday messages not the Festival of Faith. We'll have to do it snail mail. I'll drop his name and a mailing address when it's complete.

Doc changed my life for the better. I hope this effort will change other people for the good too.

I know little about gene scott ministries but after hearing several messages i began doing my own research. The Truth of romans 6-8 is the power of the gospel. God decalares it and that is what will stand. Those that believe in the resurrection have been crucified and translated no matter what their performance afterwards, God's Word says so. Now, imagine what that truth would do to a rebel sinner, addict, repeat offender, loser, or failure. The Truth (Christ) because of its power automatically Will renew a person's mind and transform that person-thats probably why Gene accepted gays and other sinners because God does and God Himself knows the power of His own gospel. Now, since no ministry is perfect i still would like to see Melissa get rid of the legalism. Our eternal position is secure and truth about our position will cause a person to faithe and focus on Christ(which is repentance). Regarding tithing Jesus was still walking on the earth when He said to do this. People were still under the law. The New Covenant crucified the law totally, including Malachi. If people gave in the power of the spirit with the heart, who is to say that there is a limit. Perhaps this ministry is confining itself, and, realization of total complete freedom might be the trigger for here and elsewhere that launches a revival based on Truth rather than experience... which goes beyond human expectation.

I've only seen a few of their TV shows, but IMO, they're the real thing; both Gene and Melissa are spiritual giants. That's what makes them hard to recognize as such: "Pure by impure is not seen". They are not DSM diagnoses. The sane examples are just so rare, that most folks don't know what they're seeing; plus most (not all) choose obscure lives -- they'll show up as somebody's gardener, etc.

Not that they're equal to the Diety or Joshua ben Joseph (Jesus), but they're not claiming that. I did see Melissa regretfully mention her horrid past, with gratitude for forgiveness from God. (BTW, I give them no money.) Our hearts go out to them, because they did not need us. Regarding Gene and Melissa:

1. Gene -- Despite his negative quirks, his contribution to humanity is: he cracked a spiritual code as pivotal in sacred matters as any Einstein breakthrough (ex., relativity) was in matters of physics. The gist of it is contained in those yearly Easter messages Gene gave (death, resurrection of Jesus).

I doubt that serious scholars will succeed in refuting his findings. Like some high water mark, from now on, folks will be obliged to rise to that level and surpass it, to be relevant. That truth is now out. That fog is lifted.

But, unlike knowledge in physics, personally utilizing holy facts in daily life takes way more maturity and guts. Only an uncommonly courageous person will dare try to apply and live the drastic moral implications.

Ordinarily, it can take quite a "dark night of the soul" to jolt us out of habitual treadmills enough to even grok: "What does it matter if we gain the whole world, but lose our own soul?" So the value of heroes and great persons is "that there may be greater persons".

They inspire by their example of what it can look like today, not 2000 years ago, to squarely face and embody uplifting truth, meaning every word you say, every move you make, to your very core, even for one hour on TV.

2. Melissa -- I saw Melissa first, not Gene, and sensed in her whole body energy that she's the genuine article. So far, I've not seen that level of clear being in a female.

BTW, she gives off no sensual vibes whatsoever, only elevated enthusiasm, joy in God, IMO. I'm thankful she's still alive now, and that I've lived to see her "at the very beginning of a great career" in brilliant spiritual teaching, especially the ancient language stuff.

That she could be equal to Gene, I know it seems unlikely; but I believe lightening has struck twice. But then, like attracts like. For instance, why did so many great writers end up living in Concord, MA in the 1800's (Thoreau, Emerson, Hawthorne, the Alcotts, etc.)? They were drawn together because they ignited each others' highest thoughts (they said).

Similarly, the giants of the American Revolution: how did so many of them happen to be there together (Washington, Jefferson, Ben Franklin, Paine, Lafayette, Adams, etc.)? -- They attracted each others' company; they enjoyed sparking off of each others' brave ideas and actions, to bring out the best in them. And now we have Gene and Melissa?

Why must we stone the prophets and crucify saints? When that which we've wished for, longed for -- a wise and beautiful (inside) fellow human being, faulty enough so that we can relate to them, comes before us as living proof that it can be done -- when at last they appear in our midst, what is so ignorant as not to realize it? What is so crude as to hurl insults at them?

Well, all I know is when such a one consents to shine there in my presence, I -- though I stand alone -- will hold Sabbath welcome, hushed and still, with reverence for the Diety in us all, for angels among us.

Still looking for anyone that has audio and /or video sermons of Dr. Gene Scott

#192 — May 23, 2007 @ 22:29PM — jf

I woke up this morning trying to remember the good docs first name. I knew if I googled scott televangelist I would find it, and I did. And I learned that he had died on my birthday two years ago. Yesterday, a good friend of mine died. They must have been talking and somehow Dr Gene's name popped into my head.

Now, why does this even matter? I haven't seen Dr Gene on TV for 14 years, at least, maybe more. Never before had I listened to a televangelist. Never before had I called in to such a show. I actually talked to Dr. Gene. I grew up catholic. I loved Dr Gene. Especially, for some reason, when he'd cut away and say "Get on the telephone!" and then you'd get to watch the horses etc.

I don't remember what his message was, other than that there's a spirit that is part of all of us and we must recognize it. And I never sent him a dollar. Or a cent.

I have watched her preach, and she is damn good. Except for her 5 case Greek syntaxs and her limited Hebrew grammer, she is right on the money with her message. (I don't know the other languages, but it is impressive that she knows so many & is self educated - awesome). We are all sinners saved by grace, so her past is just that, her past; we all have a past; forget her's and just listen to her message. she has that right & that is what is important . . . . revme

The thing I most admire about Doctor Scott is his going back to the original interpretation of the sources for the Bible's writings. This is not easy. He has dedicated his life to the study. I will add that he is not a quack. You don't get into Stanford without being qualified to get into Stanford, now or in 1957. I have been a student of Robert Schuller for many years, but when I was up late, which happens often for me, I will turn on Gene Scott's ministry and listen. If you don't work at it, you probably won't be able to keep up. He's throwing it out there pretty fast.
Bottom line, he has been an invaluable contribution in reinforcing much of the Bible's meaning, and often presents a new interpretation to an old understanding of the Bible. He's a wild card. The plus side of that is he won't hold back any punches. He has nothing to do with Pat Robertson's crowd, or Jerry Falwell's, or even my Robert Schuller crowd. I love that. I very intelligent man possibly offering a fresh interpretation of the oldest school in the world. Religion! He was one of a kind, and the genuine article.

Whether or not Melissa Scott is as devout as she appears, only God knows. But as a psychologist who has done many years of cognitive assessment, I can tell you-- on the basis of watching a single broadcast-- that she has an absolutely phenomenal IQ.

#196 — June 24, 2007 @ 19:11PM — noworktoday

Millionairess Melissa Scott is a 37 year old widow. She is one cool cookie, I like her, she really does have a love for the Word of God. I just found her on the "I" channel three weeks ago.

She's on everynight during the week. It was just her for several shows with those black boards full of translated verses of scripture in several languages. She sings like a blues singer. She has a nice look to her. She teaches the Word of God. I couldn't find anything not to like at first.

One night what I thought was her still alive husband (she had talked about him on earlier shows with fond love) Dr Gene Scott came on the stage with her. He did his thing and everyone clapped and I thought wow, he's kind of old.

I did a word search and found this place. I found out Dr Scott was dead and that while he was still alive that he smoked expensive cigars, attended Stamford University, never held a job that anyone knows of, was married three times, divorced twice, loved race horses, cussed like a sailor, raised money in the name of Jesus and was honest enough to tell you where it was going, helped Oral Roberts start a Christian College in Tulsa, attended church with James Baker and kicked him out when he became the pastor of that same church in Glendale, California that was $350,000 in debt, demanded that the church do certain things to counter balance his $1 salary (still not proved in writing), told everyone what to do in his church both paid and unpaid, kicked people out for slounching down in their chair, said the Lord's name in vain on live television and ordered everyone to tithe 10% of their pay checks even if they didn't make enough to live on, lived in a 12 million dollar mansion in Pasdena, flew around in a non profit company (church) Lear Jet, had a limosine, had 24/7security on his home, married a divorced stripper, porno girl 40 years his junior, now a born again teacher of the Word of God that is still keeping the ministry alive with a one million dollar a month payment for television time to the ION channel.

I found all of that information right here in this "Dr Gene Scott partying in heaven" article with readers comments added.

What part is true and what part is false?

I've been taught to believe half of what you hear and part of what you see and everything Jesus leads us to believe.

Karma is something to do with a spiritual nature in your heart.

Dr Gene Scott surely had Karma, but whose spirit?

I'll keep watching her till she makes a mistake.

So far I like what I see. She doesn't look like Barbie Bridges to me ... Melissa is white as can be on that stage, means she's not into sun bathing, she is a tall lithe woman, she walks with confidence, she has an accent, she has beautiful hair (which that barbie girl had too), she covers herself to hide her body, she has simple taste in shoe's and only a watch for jewelry, she is not vain in her make-up and where oh where did she learn all of those languages?

If this is all an act she fools me and very few have been able to do that since I found out that carny people lie to you about those milk bottles being knocked over and coming back up again.

#197 — June 24, 2007 @ 23:15PM — G. Adams

It really does not matter what Gene said, what you, say, or I say. The only words that will last for eternity are the words of the risen Lord, Jesus Christ. He and only He is the standard we should pattern our lives after.

This pretty much explains the life of Gene Scott!

The Reprobate Mind

Reprobates know better, but they don't do better, they "hold the Truth in unrighteousness":
"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the Truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath showed it unto them. For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse."
"Because that, when they knew God, they glorified Him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things."

"Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the Truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen."

"For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet."

"And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them." (Romans 1:18-32 KJV)

#199 — June 25, 2007 @ 19:53PM — JLaff47

"He who is without sin cast the first stone." I think if Christ was here in this day and age he would have been stoned to death. Everybody loves to go on their little christian crusades pointing out everyone's faults and are too busy to realize any of their own. Try to remember one thing when you criticize Pastor Scott or Dr. Scott for their supposed lifestyles. The instrument is never as important as the musician. God will use who he wants to use to get his message to the people. If God only used people that didn't sin or had no faults, he would have no one to use. Just because you don't do the act doesn't mean that you're not sinning. Thinking about doing it is a sin. As an example...Christ said that looking upon a woman with lust is just as bad as commiting adultery. So where does that leave us? Our salvation from sin isn't found in fulfilling the law (ten commandments) Our salvation was given to us by the grace of God through the faith of Jesus Christ. God loved his chosen so much that he offered up his Son as a sacrifice for all of our sins. Past, present, and future. So to those who love to point fingers at other people's faults. Thank you. Once again you have shown me that only by the grace of God through the faith of Jesus Christ am I saved and not by a bunch of self-righteous privately sinning saints. God Bless.

Amen ,,,you are right on the mark !!!! If God before us who can be against us !!!

APPARENTLY, MANY ARE VERY IGNORANT OF BIBLICAL SCRIPTURE AND MUST BE A MEMBER/WATCHER OF HER CHURCH. IT'S NOT ABOUT EASY BELIEVISM WHERE EVERYBODY GOES TO HEAVEN. JUST BELIEVE IN JESUS AND SIN UP A STORM AND EVERYONE IS SAVED. EVEN THE DEMONS BELIEVE IN JESUS AND SHUDDER BUT ARE NOT SAVED. PAUL AND THE EARLY CHURCH FATHERS AGGRESSIVELY CONTENDED FOR THE FAITH AGAINST WOLVES IN SHEEPS CLOTHING, FALSE APOSTLES AND CHRIST'S WHO COME AMONG THE SHEEP TO DESTROY THE CHURCH. THE EARLY CHURCH FATHERS JUDGED AND WROTE AGAINST THEIR FALSE DOCTRINES AND AGAINST FALSE TEACHERS WHO TRIED TO DESTROY FLOCK. THE EARLY CHURCH FATHERS KNEW THAT THEY WERE SATAN'S HENCHMEN TO DECEIVE THOSE WHO ARE IGNORANT OF BIBLICAL SCRIPTURE AND SOUND DOCTRINE. THESE TEACHERS TWIST SCRIPTURE TO FIT THEIR OWN PERVERTED DOCTRINES. MELISSA SCOTT AND GENE SCOTT ARE BOTH ADULTERERS AND THEREBY EXCLUDED FROM MINISTRY. THE EARLY CHURCH FATHERS AND I MEAN SUCH SAINTS AS BISHOP OF ROME CLEMENT 170AD WHO KNEW WALKED AMONG THE APOSTLES AND DISCIPLES OF CHRIST WOULD HAVE EXCOMMUNICATED THE LIKES OF GENE AND MELISSA SCOTT. GENE SCOTT WHO SWEARS AND IS FULL OF RAGE AND ANGER AND A HEART FILLED WITH GREED DOES NOT HAVE THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT. YOU WILL KNOW THEM BY THEIR FRUIT, GENTLENESS, KINDNESS, MEEKNESS, LOVE. WHAT THESE FALSE TEACHERS WILL DO OVER TIME IS TO ISOLATE THOSE UNDER THEM FROM THE FELLOWSHIP OF OTHER BELIEVERS AND DENOMINATIONS, NO ACCOUTABILITY FOR THEIR TEACHINGS AND ACTIONS AND WILL EVENTUALLY LEAD THIER PEOPLE INTO ERROR AND ETERNAL DESTRUCTION. WHERE IS THEIR STATEMENT OF BELIEF? WHERE IS THEIR ACCOUNTABILITY? DO NOT DONATE FUNDS TO ANY ORGANIZATION UNLESS THEY WILL GIVE YOU THIER FINANCIAL STATEMENT SO THAT YOU CAN DETERMINE HOW THESE FUNDS ARE BEING USED! WHERE IS MELLISSA SCOTT'S EDUCATION AND WHAT DENOMINATION IS THE OVERSIGHT FOR HER CHURCH? A WARNING FROM PAUL NEITHER FORNICATORS, ADULTERERS, COVETOUS.. WILL INHERIT THE KINGDOM. FOR IF YOU LIVE ACCORDING TO THE SINFUL NATURE, YOU WILL DIE ROM8:13. THE SEXUAL IMMORAL, THE IMPURE...I WARN YOU AS I DID BEFORE, THAT THOSE WO LIVE LIKE THIS WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD. GAL 5:19-21. BELIEVING IN JESUS IS A PRESENT TENSE GREEK WOULD WHICH ALSO MEANS TO OBEY. IT'S CONINTUAL BELIEVING AND OBEYING GOD AND NOT A PAST TENSE EVENT SUCH AS I WAS SAVED ON SUCH AND SUCH DATE! THAT'S WHY PAUL IN ROM 2:7 STATED ONLY THOSE WHO BY PERSISTNECE IN DOING GOOD SEEK GLORY, HONOR AND IMMORTALITY, HE WILL GIVE ETERNAL LIFE.

#202 — July 26, 2007 @ 04:33AM — JLaff47

By the way Dan. Spiritual pride is a sin too.

#203 — July 26, 2007 @ 04:36AM — Amp51

Dan, after reading what you rambled on about, I guess that means that you don't sin.

#208 — August 10, 2007 @ 00:23AM — JLaff47

does anyone have sermons from Dr Scott

#209 — August 21, 2007 @ 02:31AM — Bassman D

It is a sad, sad thing to see people bashing away, fully clad in their Judge's robes, in God's good name.

It is God's job to sit in judgement, not ours. The Bible says that we should allow our spirits to tell us what is right or wrong.

My spirit tells me that Pastor Melissa Scott, and Dr. Gene Scott before her, are servants of the Christ in spirit, body, and soul.

I'd been listening to their teachings for nearly 6 months prior to finding out that she was once in the adult entertainment industry. Knowing that only increased my interest in her ministry. The Apostle Paul, prior to his meeting Jesus, spent his days pursecuting (sp) Christians. If he can turn his life around and become the greatest teacher of Christ's blessings, then why not a former pornstar?

And to those that believe a college degree is needed to teach the word of God, I have some questions for you. Was Jesus afforded a college education? How about any of his disciples? How about Mr Dwight Moody? Who is he, you ask? A highly revered preacher/teacher that was responsible for the initial rise to prominence of the YMCA.
True teachers/preachers are called, and the spirit is laid upon them to do so. If that person has a good teacher to walk them through the process, then an education at college is not necessary. I respect those that spend many years in Seminary. I have no problem with that at all. But I will leave it up to the Almighty to decide who is and who is not worthy to teach/spread his word.

#210 — September 19, 2007 @ 01:50AM — Randy

Have you all forgotten that even Christ took a prostitute as his close friend, (Mary M.) Quit hatin' and being jealous that you are not Melissa Scott, or "doing" her. She is an accomplished preacher, versed in many languages, teaching the word of God. Must you reject the message because of the messenger? Grow up, stand up, and become righteous. Hear the message, and know that "with God all things are possible", even the forgiveness of a whore, turned TV-evangelist. God forgives her past, why shouldn't all of you?

#211 — October 20, 2007 @ 02:38AM — Louanne Bain

I have only recently discovered Dr. Scott on TV late at night. He was an amazing teacher. I am so glad that his teachings were taped so that I did not have to miss out. Now if I can only find his book "Short Lessons from the Big Book" I will be happy.

#212 — December 25, 2007 @ 13:29PM — cowman [URL]

thank you Melissa..you have shown me women body and eternal power:)

#213 — January 7, 2008 @ 16:47PM — Joe Giamatti

I really enjoyed Dr. SCOTT. He was not only informative, but entertaining. I enjoyed hearing his banter with Sammy, the piano player. Whatever happened to Sammy? I miss Pop Scott too.

Doc could not only explain the Bible, but he played a mean saxophone too. Rest in Peace, Good Doctor...You are missed

#214 — January 9, 2008 @ 14:26PM — cowman [URL]

Thank you,Mr.Joe.That is very kind of you.Now I know.There are many rules,but we do not want to learn them all.We want to learn easily.The sky is blue and Melissa is very beautiful.I know that you want to know:)But you must have patience and wait until the next telephone-call:)

#215 — January 21, 2008 @ 01:04AM — Bookie

Dr Scott was a charismatic character who taught bible truths with a fervent yet humorous manner that kept you glued to the tv. Unlike most tv evangelists, which Dr Scott denounced, yet always made clear he was a 'teacher' with the educational background to back it up, always taught that God was looking for people who would trust Him. Dr Scott will be missed. If anyone is looking for Dr Scotts teachings, please email me at bwbookie at yahoo dot com
