Melissa Scott
In 2005 Melissa Scott, aka Barbie Bridges, took over as head pastor for
the
ministries of her second husband, Dr. Eugene Scott, when he died in
February.
Soon her past as an adult entertainer, actress and model under the
stage
name of Barbie Bridges caught up with her. Amidst vociferous denials of
swindling and fraud by those exchanging her nude in-the-act photos, she
obliquely admitted her pornographic career. Attendance and donations
plunged over 75% during her first four months reign, as Scott blasted
departing
Christians as unfaithful to God and her husband. Cites: Televised L.A.
live
broadcasts by Melissa Scott April, May and June 2005. See background
check summaries posted on alt.fan.gene-scott newsgroup March 15, 2005,
through July 10, 2005, with links to relevant photos and legal
documents.
County public records document transfers of properties and assets to
which
churchgoers contributed at Dr. Scott's solicitations, to Melissa
Scott's
personal ownership or control, during 2004 and 2005. Mrs. Scott has
reminded viewers that, under the corporate structure she heads, there
are no church members. See alt.fan.gene-scott for state and county
public
records to real property title transfers, corporate documents, Eugene
Scott's death certificate and civil case records.

Thomas Hawk's Digital Connection: Dr. Gene Scott Dead at 75
thomashawk.com/2005/02/dr-gene-scott-dead-at-75.html Wednesday,
February 23, 2005 He was a Stanford educated preacher who definitely
had more than a few screws loose.
Dr. Scott was very direct in his request for money. He oftentimes
would punish his viewers by refusing to talk until a certain amount of
money was sent in. It was comedic. He would say the most outrageous
things in his bully like demands for people to give up their money. You
were definitely going to hell if you didn't give and your place in
heaven
was largely a determination of how much you gave.
Rotten.com has a pretty good bio on the doctor that includes some
classic quotes:
"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."
"I want 300 people to give $1,000 by June 30 to humiliate Satan's
efforts to destroy us," Dr. Scott commanded in a Web site missive.
"I also want 700 to commit to $10,000 by Christmas. I've been trying
to lighten the staff load for five years! I won't take responsibility
for
things I have no assurance I'll ever see!"
Dr. Scott railed against the FCC, told jokes, played the saxophone
and showed off video footage of him sitting poolside with bikini clad
women along with his horses. His program was broadcast in eight
languages and in 180 countries. He broadcast 24 hours a day
throughout the world and more recently had set up a live internet
stream. I'm not quite sure why he was never able to crack cable
or satellite tv more significantly but he was the master of the
crazy obscure OTA programming.
Though the world may indeed be a better place without him
one can't help but chuckle at his antics and weird behavior
that was the sideshow along the way as he ripped off his flock.

Dr. Scott fought prostate cancer since 2000 that had metastasized
throughout his body, he finally died February 21, 2005 after much
pain. He is survived by his wife Melissa Pastore-Scott aka Barbi
Bridges, whom he married in 2000. Mrs. Scott, whose background
is in the adult entertainment industry, is now the pastor of
Dr. Scott's church.

Gene Scott was the quintessential abusive father living out his
free-for-all verbal assaults and directives to all the willing,
daddy-seeking unfortunates who took him seriously.
He was a prick and proud of it, but never achieved the "real" fame
he selfrighteously demanded that he unconditionally deserved,
nor the academic parity he so often paraded with his "...I have
a PhD. from Stanford" claim that he reinforced at every possible
opportunity in a futile attempt to elevate his credibility when
the rhetoric got just a bit dry.
"Forever acknowledge and worship my every idiosyncrasy," is what
he demanded of his non-academically oriented followers as long as
they kept writing those checks. But in the end, he proved himself to
be just a bad, public-access level celebrity perpetually pissed that
the elite didn't see in him the genius that only HE saw in himself.
BatesLine: Gene Scott, RIP

Pastor Melissa Scott is not so nice in person. She's mean and
ungrateful to her staff and cadre of volunteers. Despite her dubious
background and newness to Christianity she readily humiliates the
thirty
year veterans in Dr. Scott's church. She has fired many and driven
away
others by the droves. Melissa Scott (televangelist) is a good actress
when
the cameras are on her. The enthusiasm in her cathedral audiences
is decidedly forced and lackluster. The rabid core of followers fear a
loss
of their eternal salvation if they don't serve her demands as they did
Dr. Scott's.

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'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.
