This is the old text that was on the site: Old and very biased text that needs sifting This article mentions none of that or other of the many "non-faith" controversies Scott was involved in - which just shows that this article is subject to the "who edits most and last" vulnerability of Wikipedia. 76.235.248.47 ( talk) 11:42, 5 October 2013 (UTC) Reply I remember watching Gene Scott broadcasts which were dominated by his earnest discussions of his thoroughbred race horses. He actually seems like an innovator for letting his wife continue on with his teachings, as you don't usually see women taking on the tasks Pastor Scott has taken on. They simply don't want to stomach the fact that he was fine with letting her take over for him. Scott who disagree with him having decided to let his wife take over after he passed away. It seems like those who are throwing all these negative allegations & attacks at Pastor Scott are nothing more than disgruntled ex-followers of Dr. So, while it's clear that you're aware of the article, it's also clear you didn't bother to actually READ it.

It lacks any objectivity and doesn't discuss the schism between the folowers of Doctor Gene Scott and the followers of his wife Melissa (a.k.a Barbie Bridges, according to a Marie Claire article) Scott nee Pastore. ![]() This page has clearly been edited by the Melissa Scott camp and should be deleted.
