Dr Gene Scott was a radio & TV "teacher" and as stated during station IDs:"Dr Scott teaches every Sunday in the Los Angeles University Cathedral." Officially the bishop of the church that he had formed in his own image,Dr Scott had "taught" to his L.A. "audience" for almost 30 years, which towards the end of his life numbered circa 15,000. He later transformed his ministry into a faith-healing cult, after he was confronted with prostate cancer in 2000, stating that God was to heal him due to his faith. Further unusual practices toward the end of his career included: 1. weekly "Festivals" which were conducted like mini-Nuremberg rallies, whereby "elite members" of the "church" would leap to their feet on cue & shout "Yes, Sir!" or lead the audience to give standing ovations; Those elite members were expected to "perform" without pay & without question for such an honor; 2. telling his audience that they are to pay him "worth-ship" to show how much they felt his teaching was "worth" to them, or they'd be stealing from God, if they felt that he had taught them anything; Formerly he had revived now-obsolete Old Testament tithing, such thathe all but told his congregation that if they did not pay such tithes, then they would go to hell..Although he claimed a salary as pastor of only $1 a year, he enjoyed the exclusive use of a multimillion-dollar horse ranch, a 11,488 sq.ft residence, and a 20,089 sq.ft museum/gallery next door, all paid for out of church funds, and to the exclusion of church members. He later married one of his "Pony Girls" as his 3rd wife, who had worked in the porn industry, and is now his successor as pastor. .After years of allowing his cancer to reach an advanced stage unchecked, Dr Scott "went home" a month ago on 21 February 2005. His "homecoming song" as sung by himself appears below:
