The only TV preacher I ever watch is Arnold Murray.

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

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)?

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

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.

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.

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

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

Amen, Gatosammy, preach it!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Pastor Louie Fitzgerald

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.

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.

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?

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!

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.

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

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.

Bizarre Barbie Bridges Baptized Melissa Scott bots as she read tacky messages worhshipping her.She made
baptizees fill out cards of devotion
to her, pushing God to the sidelines.
The raunchy recorded spectacle sported
Melissa Scott boasting 'I Love You's' to the porn floop, bots in freezing dirty water in a plastic unfiltered tank.Doc's rolling over in his grave.

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.

A baptizing DUNK N DONATE Spectacle from hell,last Sunday Melissa Scott ordered dunking from her dry perch across the room. Her groveling eunochs submerged in freezing dirty water. Barbie Bridges squeezed hosannahs and pledges of eternal devotion to her. God received honorable mention at this All About Melissa Show.

H8N LIES/KH2staffreporter- You seem to be wound up with way too much hatin' that you need to let go of. Perhaps one of them porn videos you claim Scott's widow made would be good for you.

Best I can tell, Jesus would object less to a little smut than to all this hatin'.

Well her nude pictures are still on the internet GO FIGURE!!!!!!! Girlsexplorer.com Aka Barbie Bridges is also on Mateshunter.com Showing all here glory and she is a minister LOL

So what's your point, joop? Do you have some ownership stake in this girlsexplorer site that you're wanting to promote?

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 .......

one more thing i am sure God really is saddened by them using his Name that way.. later have a good life

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.

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.

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.

Joop is exactly right, GO FIGURE!
HELLO! SHE'S MARKETING HER NUDE
PRIVATES IN SEX ACTS WITH HERSELF
AND WITH MANY MEN, EXPLICITLY INTENDED
TO AROUSE TOTAL STRANGERS WHO PAY
HER FOR IT. WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE OF THE HOLY PASTOR WHO LOOKS DOWN HER HOOKED NOSE AT CONGREGANTS WHO SNEEZE OR GO TO THE BATHROOM OR WHOSE CELL PHONES GO OFF WHILE SHE'S
RANTING. SHE'S FIRED AND BANNED PEOPLE
FOR SIMPLY NOT KEEPING THEIR RESERVATIONS, NOT VOLUNTEERING ENOUGH,
AND LESS.

HOW DOES THAT FIT WITH THE BIBLICAL
QUALITIES OUTLINED FOR A PASTOR?

WHERE'S THE HUMILITY BEFORE GOD?
LOOKS LIKE A SEVEN FINGER FLIPPIN
OFF OF GOD TO ME !

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.

h8n lies: [edited] Did you ever really watch Dr. Scott? or just snoop in perioticly???? Did he not raise money for the burnt down library in down town Los Angeles???? Did he not raise money for the aquatic center in Pasadena??? Did he not say and ALWAYS say FOR EVER O' LORD THEY WORD IS SETTLED IN HEAVEN???? AS HE WENT TO THE TABLE OF THE LORD??????? HE PRECHED IT AND HE KNEW THAT IF GOD DIDN'F HEAL HIM HERE HE WOULD OVER THERE.....AND HE ALWAYS SAID THAT!!!!!! [edited]

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.

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.

here

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
Gene Scott and enslaving others to worship him. God took him out. His spirit is moving to close the whole
fraud house ministry down. You watch.

Only Jesus Saves.
Stick your head in the sand if you want. It won't change reality.

Pastor Melissa Scott aka Barbie Bridges scams the feds, transferred titles of church "secrets" paid by viewers, to her name & is slashing ministry service.

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.
SLURP SLURP, BELCH> PUKE>

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.

why did you take my posting off did the truth Barbie Bridges Look you in the eye LOL LOL

LOL Ann postings here have not been edited far as I know as if Blogcritics had some stake in supporting a televangelist LOL but not would matter as no one could make sense of your not sentences LOL and how much credibility would I put in such illiteracy LOL

Hey Al Click the blue highligted name what wrong you not man enough to handle Barbie Bridges aka Melissa LOL LOL

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?

Al come on her pics are all over the internet like she really retired please al lets not be stupid...and she is using GOD to bring in the MONEY HELLOOOOOOO earth to AL

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.

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 have never heard of Gene Scott, but I am totally going to check him out now.

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.

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.

Dan

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!

IB, why you hatin' on ol' Dan here? He wasn't particularly even putting down the good reverend. Play nice!

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

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!

IBdaMAN, thank you very much for that spontaneous confession. You just uncontestably proved with that fractured communication everything I said about you.

Dan

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?

If you ever finish that book, let us know. :-)

In the meantime, we should all remember not to invest our lives overmuch in following other people, especially those who make no secret of their many faults.

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.

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.

Thank you Charlene. That was powerful testimony.

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......

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.

Susan your sad you know that there must be something very lonely about your inner self that you have to grab on to anything for some sort of hope and gene scott is not the person

Some Gene Scott hating schmuck has been posting anti-Gene comments with MY name attached to them here. Hopefully, our editors will pluck those right out, and this comment will be be referring to stuff that isn't here anymore. Still, take note if you see something in the comments here with my name that doesn't sound like the rest of what I'm saying.

Mr Barger: I have changed the name of this gutless wonder to Unknown Chicken. I hope that meets with your approval and thank you for bringing this serious matter to our attention. There will be follow through...

Thank you, Monsieur Rose. People are welcome to leave comments dumping on the late reverend. Just do it in your own name, and not mine. I liked him, and like Annie Lennox, I know better than to mess with a missionary man.

De nada, Don Alberto. Muchas gracias por su tolerancia.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: Please take note that using the name of another BlogCritic in order to pass off your remarks as those of another is cowardly, pathetic and grounds for immediate banning. You have been advised. Heed it... Comments Editor.

to all the people who judge on this sight of Gene Scotts ministry , you people sound just like people who killed jesus and the untrusting people of israel who didnt go into the promiss land ... Read the book and step back and really look at the truth.

remember ; we like sheep have gone astray and turned everone to our own way.

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.

KINGS HOUSE FROM 1983

[Ed Note: Again, pretending to be someone you're not isn't cool.]

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. I hope and pray that Melissa will continue on in doing his work, and may God bless and guide her. Lord please give the strength and courage we need to move forward.

"The news of my demise has been greatly exagerated"- Mark Twain

Those hoping, praying and wishing for the demise of Doc's voice are in for a big surprise! The broadcast will go on until Jesus comes! AMEN

Then we won't need it any more!

When Doc taught, I "got it"...my wife never understood how I could listen to him.

Come and listen to a story about a man named Eugene

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.

Gene Scott Jr. thank you for those kind words my son i hope when i packed your butt we came much closer....

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.

I'm still chuckling over the many contradictions and paradoxes contained within this short quote alone: "make decisions based on Biblical truth, not religious dogma".

Wild!

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.

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 the only preacher on tv worth watching. Amen brother! I miss him

What a piece of shit he was -- I'm glad he's dead!

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?
Doc knew the way taught the way and lived the way and in doing so provided the closest example of living by faith the anyone in the last half century has ever seen

and in it for the money or not still provided amazing teachings that will guide millions or even billions to salvation throughout the generations

Amen jfrog !!!!!!!

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.

Mellisa Scott was actually pretty good looking. I hope she is finally gettin' the cock she was missin' when that old fart bastard was still alive at their home behind the Ritz in Pasadena. Gene was good at manipulating the weak minded morons of the world. I just can't be that evil, or I would start talking shit and demanding people's money as well. Well, maybe if Mellisa was going to suck me every night I could give in.

The Doc didn't believe in the Lord, he believed in the US Dollar. That is your US Dollars in his pocket.....Morons....

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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
