While Pastor Melissa Scott can deceive and fool
herself into thinking she deserves the wealth
and power Gene Scott swindled in God's name,
God reads the heart. God's not fooled. The lies
and false claims of not asking for money and
only getting praise messages are a joke, but
don't fool God.

By mass trust and ignorance, Melissa might
blanket the media with Gene's money. She
should pull in some response for awhile, but
Melissa cannot pull off her phoney professorial
preacher act. She cannot inspire an ass.

There are many far more spiritual, better
pastors that lead and minister to, not
fleece, their sheep. People are thirsty for
Jesus, not for the Scott cult.

Back in the barn Melissa. You can't fool
the Lord. He knows his word. He knows
his real followers and his children.

The sooner Melissa's shop caves in, the
sooner more Christians will be set free.

jericho,


Your perspective is from....?


Have you ever been in attendance at theCathedral?

Have you ever been a VOF?


Maybe you answered these questions before,
I don't recall though.


But even if you watched from a distance, it's
funny how you could recognize this scheme of
sheep fleecing while some of us here were
involved head, hands and feet.

Studio - you are a nice person - you are not a dummy by any means as
I've read your posts for 2 years now. I have just one question for you
in response to your question to Jericho
as to how he could recognize Scott's phoniness and Melissa in her turn;
just crackpot teaching to raise money for their own enjoyment. There
is nothing given in return to those in the red seats, that I can see.

How could Jericho recognize the Scott's schemes/scams?

The same way the other millions of sensible, honest, intelligent
Christians in this country recognized their cockamamie "ministry" on
TV and gave it a wide berth.

There are so many nice people in this group, and the majority seem to
be very smart, I cannot figure out how they could have been attracted
to the Scott world of fantasy and to hand over gobs of money - well,
that is just beyond my understanding. I've posted under other names,
as I've never kept a secret, and in the past I've mentioned how many
Scott "closet watchers" there were whom I knew in the 1970's and
1980's, but he was regarded as a hilarious diversion, a clown and a
thief in our opinon and while we'd phone or e-mail each other and say,
"did you see him tonight? Can you believe it?!" and laugh ourselves
silly, we had no idea otherwise intelligent people were actually
supporting him whether they could afford to do so or not.

So Jericho is not the only one, he is one of millions who did see
through the Scott's schemes; it is those who "held up Gene's arms"
that somehow could not recognize his scams but now most do see. For
some, obviously, too late and for those I genuinely grieve. Let's hope
Melissa does not ride the same horse for 30 years as he did but I'd
like to think the younger generations are more sophisticated. JMHO!

Bubelah,


It blows my mind to think there are still people
that I know, involved to this day!


It pains me because I probably convinced them
to take a look at GS and I was the one who invited them for the first time
to KH1 or
the Cathedral.

I still have a lot at stake here (LAUC).

Of course, one can rationalize and say
that I should wash my hands of this affair
and that they made their own decisions to stay onboard.

I just don't see it as being that simple.

How do you un-impact a person who is
inDOCtrinated with docamentalism?

matt2442:
Probably not with reason or logic. They have to come to their own
conclusion eventually. It is a good thing if they are still in
communication with you. I would have thought that they would not have
any dealings with someone who left the church, per Doc and Mrs. Doc.
You might be the only reality check that they have.

Are you saying that all of us who were closely
affiliated with Gene Scott are not REAL followers of Christ?

You say people are thirsty for Jesus.

Gene Scott, at his best, did preached the importance of exercising faith
in God and
respect for His Word.

In those days many of us put our money were our mouth was and came forth
to offer our help.

No, Pretty Kitty - nowhere did I say those who affiliated themselves
with Gene Scott were not real followers of Christ. You all certainly
were Chistians, through and through.

You apparently just didn't see the very human, not Christ-like
character of Gene Scott.
I'm not saying that there wasn't a brilliant burst of insight from him
from time to time
but what his hold was over so many otherwise intelligent people is
beyond me. Most
churches expect a 10% tithe at most and most operate on much less than
that. His
demand for "first fruits" and all that nonsense was definitely not
Christ-like. That doesn't mean that those who poured out their love
for Scott in the form of silver were not Christ-like, they just seem to
lose their grip on reality and the true meaning of Christianity.
Somehow he convinced the flock that to gain heaven he, Gene Scott,
must be pleased. Christians you all were, and still are.

confounding the wise!
