Definitely more of an entertainer than preacher. A televangelist with more than a touch of pro wrestling. Like a train wreck, you just had to drop in and watch.
Our pastor growing up saw him on late-night TV, Channel 38 Chicago, wearing a Panama hat, smoking a cigar, threatening to stop Bible teaching unless more donations came in, and he played "Kill a Pissant for Jesus" to get the audience going. From that, Pastor thought Scott & other Christians were nuts. God drew Pastor to Christ later. He still thinks Scott was nuts.
He came on after SCTV in the middle of the night. I was around 12. Even back then, I considered him to be an extension of SCTV. Forty years later & I believe I was right.
My mother used to say “ wha are you watching this crazy man “ Until she heard this song, “I want to know” and it was all good after that 15 year old African-American kid
I don't agree with that at all. I remember listening to him over 40 years ago, and being impressed by his knowledge and in depth teachings. You have to have a knowledge of the topic, with some spiritual insight, to really grasp a genius conversation or lecture.
For 25 years I got the majority of my teaching from Doc. You might not like the way he served it up but what he taught was the truth and nothing but the truth. I know that's true because I've been a Christian for 46 years now and I learned from the original Greek manuscripts and most of the translations (stick with the KJV). Paul taught the three major reasons for giving to the one who teaches you and they are 1. To demonstrate the genuineness of God's Spirit in you by the way you give... God gave his son and if His Spirit is in you, then you'll be a giver 2. Is to show the sincerity of your love for God... The first and greatest commandment as Jesus taught us. And 3. Is to demonstrate, to God, a value judgment of the knowledge of the words of eternal life that you have learned from your teacher. i.e. these are the words of eternal life! What's THAT knowledge worth? So, I can understand Doc's anger toward those who have learned from him and would not support his ministry. And yeah, he may have been God's angry man... But he was also God's man for the job. And there Ya GO! 😇 Be a 📖🐛
Amen. I was just thinking how often those who are the most cynical and suspicious of the motives of others when it comes to money and say things like"It's a scam for the money. All they care about is getting your money but God doesn't care about money and neither should we." But the problem with that is if you truly don't care about money and accuse others of being greedy, then why are so afraid to give away the very thing that you claim God doesn't care about and that it's not about money? And I'm not saying there aren't wolves in sheep's clothes who are con artists but if you're so worried about everyone being a con artist that you aren't willing to give generously, perhaps it's you who's conning yourself and perhaps it's you who over values money and is greedy. Even those who have given money to televangelists who were wolves in sheep's clothes, they themselves were willing to give to a cause that they believed in to serve God and I believe that God will always bless those people as opposed to those who keep their money guarded and aren't willing to give out an over abundance of caution as to not be duped into giving to someone who's not truly dedicated to serving God's will. I'd like to start an online 'televangelist' church that takes donations but I'd like to do it where every dime taken in is accounted for and transparent so that every member who donates can know where the money is going and even have a say in what causes it's going towards. I think that'd be cool. But either way, I think the blessing is in the giving and not so much in where the money goes after it's been given (although that's a great secondary benefit and shame on those who would deceive believers in Christ into giving them money only for it to be used on extravagant homes, boats, cars, and jewelry. God will not look kindly on those wolves in sheep's clothes and blaspheme His good name for their own sordid gain and for their own love of money). God bless.
I remember seeing Dr. Scott on TV when we first moved to California he had a program where he had wind-up monkeys smashing cymbals. Of which he used his cane to smash when someone in the government claimed his organization wasn't a non-profit group. Please, Clinton Foundation, hello. Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, hello? He was completely correct in his assertions. My dad was a pastor who went through Bible school, I believe he met Dr. Scott who was at his university and spoke on the reality and proofs of the trinity. There are quite a few Scholars Scott was communicating with Jewish rabbis who had shared with Dr. Scott about the different things they found in the New Testament that weren't only indicative of Jewish authors but also authors who knew about Kaballah. Especially the prayer ending "For Thine is the Kingdom The power and the Glory. Also something that fed the Anti-Charismathic groups in Dr. Scott assertion that the language of "angels" tongues. In Moses' timeline when he gave the authority to others in order to address daily problems within the camps of Israelites. One other thing that the Doctor explained was a Arenal photo that was taken which showed a pattern in the Arabian peninsula where the real Sinai is actually located. That through the sand it was claimed a great pattern under the sand showed great trails as if millions of people had transported themselves over that area. The scientists claimed it was explainable with evolution. I guess some monkeys became trails around Arabia. How could they have kept themselves alive with no water in those areas. Thank you for your writings much greater than a failed English elementary school failure here.
And Doc couldn't leave it there, the principle that is. I remember him mentioning hilarious giving during his rage episodes on festival which negates that whole principle. If his congregation wouldn't hilariously give enough then he would verbally beat it out of them. And then there is his misrepresentation of tithing just to get more money out of people which really became a legalistic crutch. He wasn't so principled.
Praise God for Dr. Gene Scott. There has never been nor will there ever be another like him imo. To all those who think he was just out for money. Your brains are too small to understand the magnitude of what he was teaching. He brought dignity to the subject and activity of biblical giving. God loves hilarious givers, and hates tight wads, yes He absolutely cannot stand them. Dr. Gene Scott was the only preacher with the balls to stare into a camera and tell his audience that if you are not hilarious givers then you are on your way to hell. And the reason you are not hilarious givers is because you don't have the giving spirit of God working in you. And the reason you don't have the giving spirit of God working in you is because you don't practice faith in God's promises. But he also taught that faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. And that's what he did for 50 plus years, faithfully taught the promises of God as they are revealed in His Word. Surely that counts for something, no? Anyway, I recommend listening to VF-508, in this lecture he breaks down the the arguments for and against the Resurrection of Jesus, without which there is no basis for the Christian Faith. This message convinced me that Jesus rose from the dead as a fact of history. Check it out, its a blast. The Doc was deadly serious about God but he was also charismatic, funny, fun loving, generous, hard working and a giant in intellect. And no he wasn't perfect, nor did he ever claim to be, he always reseved that accolade for Jesus alone.
I attended his church in the early 80s until an incident in which I was involved gave me a "peak behind the curtain" and I and two others discovered how untruthful he reported the situation to the public on the air leaving us dumbfounded and confused and forever unable to believe another word he said from them on. For years I thought he "went bad" only to find out he was corrupt from the start but very good at pretending to be something that he was not. By their fruit you will know them and his fruit is rotten. Jude 1:8,10-13 KJV Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities. [10] But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves. [11] Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core. [12] These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; [13] Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.
Ah yes...another baseless claim of... I was there and saw this, he was corrupt the whole time statement. BTW...what "rotten fruit" are you talking about?

This guy was brilliant. PT Barnum would've been proud of him. Anyone else remember when he moved his "preachings" to The Ranch? Freakin' awesome with the girls in bikinis on rollerskates around the pool! Pure genius! RIP Dr Scott, you were the best
I never saw him and imperfect people can share Gods word. God’s fruit however would display a spirit of meekness. This seems to be an area that Mr Scott didn’t try to temper or repent from being.
Do you have a copy of Scott’s intro? It was a song that ended with the lyrics “God don’t like it too” and featured a wind-up monkey banging cymbals together,.
I used to watch him every day, just to crack up! I even recorded one his angry rants on a cassette once and brought it on a road trip with my mother, playing the part where he cusses, over and over until my mother shouted "Turn that off! That man is sick in the head!" and I couldn't hold in my laughter 🤣.
He was a genius. The church died/ was nullified quickly after this period ( his death). I m in 2024, there was a remnant church, then, now and untill he comes.
Bogus not to include his 3 chalkboard exegesis, jam packed with ancient languages and scribbled on every inch. Great teacher as well as showman. Hit piece bogosity.
I remember watching and in a strange way being fascinated that a preacher could get away with having Merle Haggard, dancing girls and cursing on TV - all the while being a great teacher. I still don’t know what to make of him or what he was truly after. Maybe all of the above. The Bob Knight of televangelists. 😀
@@scrunchymacscruff1244 because he could. Goggle the mansion he lived in, it recently sold for 48 million. Now I know he didn’t pay that for it years ago. But at 32,500 sq feet it didn’t come cheap even 25 or 30 yrs ago.
As a kid briefly living in San Diego in the 80s, this guy was on rambling on about "double portion" month... I cannot understand how this man reached anyone with God's Word with his creepy attitude. If I was in the congregation, I'd walk up to him and backhand some sense into him.
Q: How do you know whether or not you are in a religious cult ! A: An infallible proof ! YOU ARE ALWAYS BROKE ! God never spoke to his prophets through other people or Clara Grace ! The French have a word for this. Its called SEANCE ! Deuteronomy 13:1 If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, 2 AND THE SIGN OR THE WONDER COME TO PASS, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them; 3 Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the Lord your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
Back in the 80's there was a channel that aired Gene Scott 24 hours a day. I'd pause a few seconds to watch this guy rant and rave before moving on. Then during the Craig Kilborn and Jon Stewart era of The Daily Show they had a segment called God Stuff hosted by John Bloom (aka Joe Bob Briggs) and they'd frequently include a clip of Dr. Scott looking like a holy pitbull or berating one of the crew due to some technical difficulties that were not checked before they went on air. I imagine the crew changed frequently as a result of this type of childish behaviour. He seems to be a perfect subject for Herzog.
Indeed the same spirit that operated in Brother Stair. He would complain about his sound, that sounded fine for those listening - just not to the liking of the deaf Stair, and belittle his technicians. They were used, as were all, for scapegoats so that the Big Man was never the problem. RG Stair would also blame his tech's for airing his embarrassing or revealing rants - apparently he had no means of stopping his own evil spirits exposing himself.
I smoked cigar tobacco because of him, lol! I couldn't buy cigars, being I was underage, but I managed to purchase a foot-long one through the Johnson Smith Company (they never checked for age) and stuffed the tobacco into a pipe I inherited from my uncle to smoke. When I smoked the cigar pipe around my mom, she expected that sweet pipe scent, but discovered it was a cigar scent and told me "That smells like a fart!" 🤣.
"Lying on my back, watching some TV and there is nothing left to see, hypnotized by the screen turn the channel down to channel 33, and there's silver bearded man staring back at me"
People can say what they want about Brother stair but as a Shortwave listener he is the one that brought me back to God through his Shortwave broadcasts. That alone has to be worth something. I listen to Gene Scott on Shortwave too but it was Stair who awoke me again. Stair might shout and roar and Scott might have a more soft approach but the message is the same. Scott does his fair share of shouting too. It's mad to watch Scott rant on when some people donate a few hundred when in fact maybe that's all they had. I never heard Stair complain about any donations.
I heard Stair use the writings in the book of Acts comparing those who don't give all to him in reference to Ananias and Sapphira who withheld a portion. This was used out of context in order to defraud brothers and sisters of all. You and others would know this if you moved into a Community. Furthermore the control got more and more oppressive as time progressed. Stair held all the leverage to threaten to evict brothers and sisters at that point and did so for any reason. He put people down with name calling and told us to go to hell. He mocked us and taunted us. There were so many witnesses to his ungodly sexual advances. I remember 1 precious sister, a virgin was assigned a 4 AM shift in the kitchen and Stair knew she was alone. He went and sodomized her as she wept on the kitchen floor while she covered her face with her hands. This was not consensual. Only a cruel man would misuse the spiritual authority he claimed to have to objectify these sisters in this manner. Another sister had a terrible outbreak around her mouth from having oral sex with Stair. When she had begged him to leave her alone Stair said, "Don't you want to please the Lord?" Stair was a reprobate and viewed sisters as a way to vent his filthy perversion onto. Pray for those that were harmed. Stair will give account before Jesus Christ. This should cause others to tremble that supported him, the most inner circle that made it appear a godly Community and allowed themselves to help draft others to take the place of those who left. They know and some of them had daughters that were sexually assaulted but betrayed their own precious daughters and stayed for decades now watching the same exact thing happen to other sisters. They only aided and abetted a sexual criminal in a perpetual cycle as Stair never repented. I deeply regret not knowing all this and moving there with my family in the 90's. It would have spared me much grief and sorrow if we had known the truth.
I remember this cigar smoking dude yelling and staring at the camera saying no money, no teaching or something like that. It was extremely boring and pretty bizzare. But his method must have worked to build wealth for himself.
I was quite young when I'd see this angry preacher on TV while grandma was tuned in. I didn't realize until today what a good looking guy he was. I like his message and genuine demeanor. Who's the beauty lying on the couch 24:43?
Gene Scott was the founder of minimalism, but he paid for it in lack of privacy and at the mercy of the whims of those providing his free ride. And this Stanford educated genius is crazy like a fox in a henhouse
Stair obviously copied this persona. He didn't have a genuine personality but put on a different mannerism to suit the moment as neccessary. I heard him "play" the black preacher many times as well complete with exaggerated speech cadence and Southern accent. He was a phony and a copy cat. Underneath it all he was a weak coward who targeted brothers and sisters with cunning precision to offend and harm their faith.
You want to know the cult leader that Brother Stair really copied, it was Herbert W. Armstrong. Check this out. For those that know RG Stair’s pet phrases this will shock you. ua-cam.com/video/FJozHuom0hA/v-deo.html

(maybe youtube hates me) I stopped posting links in my comments because it's a waist of my time and no one gets to read it :(
@@microcults9827 I'm updating my responce as of 3/22. The topic of this video is on late Gene Scott. Has nothing to do with Ralph Stair. I've been seeing Gene Scott on TV since my early teens. I can't consider his ministry a cult. I've took classes on cults in college. Let's make it simple. Musicians, Politicians, News Commentators, Actors, copy and rip off others. Preachers do the same. H.W. Armstrong was a original. No telling how many have rip off him. As of this writing, Ukraine is being blasted by a thug named Valdimir Puntin, and our stupid President, Joe Biden wants to make deals with wanna be deal thugs like Puntin? Dan Bongino has said it best, Joe Biden is the worst President in U.S. History and Joe Biden is a rip off, President Zelenskyy of Ukraine is a real leader.
The music is so depressing to me...maybe it reminds me of the boring long hours this dude was on the TV 📺 back in the day, my dad lounging in his chair 💺 My dad liked him for awhile lol
Dr. Gene Scott had a IQ of 210 according to a Stanford Professor. He had a photographic memory. He knew the Bible inside and out. His early years of teaching through the Bible was very scholarly. He started a to get angry when his wife divorced him, because he would cut his relationship with his mother. That's when things changed.
He was so blatantly money grubbing it was hilarious. Also openly cavorted with whores, but no one seemed to care. Haha gotta hand it to the guy, he was one hell of a businessman and big-time bullshit artist. An American classic.
I remember him going on a spiel for a spell about hilarious givers. A couple of times he could barely keep a straight face. We'd watch him as teens for laughs, but it is sobering that a similar crook might take over the country. Incredible how gullible and stupid peoole are.
Used to see him live on some UHF channel from LA back around 1983. At that time he was raising money to buy a church in downtown LA. Looking back he never really offered a thing to humanity or had any message so to speak . He was a big BS for sure. He was like a tic tok of wasting time 40 years ago lol.
It almost was. There was no effective church restraint on this guy. Free speech existed for him but no one else in the congregation. If you had a hair out of place you could get whacked. He ran the place like a tyrannical third world dictator. He also mentioned during the years I was in his church how he would barricade the doors with communion tables if he was getting raided by the Feds which I felt secretly was scarry and unnecessary.
Are those 14K eye glass frames granny wearing , they don't look cheat or ordinary but expensive,very expensive 🤫 @ 7:27 @ 7:45 Rose Gold Eye Glass Frames 😜
When I used to see him on a local UHF late night as a teenager, I thought he was completely crazy. Only in the following decades when I found his incredible Bible teaching did I realize his value. He was the best of teachers, and he was the worst of teachers. You heard him hint at some of it here. I truly believe he believed with every fiber of his being, and that's why he couldn't let so much of this go. At the same time, he was so brilliant that he battled his capacity to sin. He knew he could sin and not get caught, yet he also believe God would destroy Him if He saw fit He was a man of intense strengths and intense weaknesses. Shame on the makers of this documentary for not even showing a minute of his Bible teachings. When he wasn't ranting about the FCC, he could bring the scriptures to life. He didn't get it all right... but none of us do. He'd be the first to quote 1 John 1:8 which says, "if we claim to be with out sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth isn't in us." I have no doubt Dr. Scott was a fierce sinner... and he knew it... and that's why he fought so fiercely for what he believed was God's work. They say the body of Christ is made up of many parts; I could imagine Dr. Scott saying he was the armpit of Christ (or an even stinkier part of the body?). I think he filled a very unique need. After many decades of hearing his teachings, I've come to the conclusion that he was more sincere than 90% of the teachers you see on television today.
I owe Dr Gene Scott so much ...he was the right person at the right time for me . Dr Scott was and is a genius .He beat the hell out of fake tv preachers and gave credit to the good ones ..As I think about it all I have I owe to this great teacher. Thank you Dr Gene Scott I know you still watching us all .

Look up the OT passages on tithing. You'll realize he deliberately misrepresented the three tithes. Why? I let you come to that moment of realization.
The greatest biblical historicists and theologians disagree on the texts(s) and are much more educated in the field than Scott was.
He wasnt in Christ so what if he had a PHD?
I never saw him and imperfect people can share Gods word. God’s fruit however would display a spirit of meekness. This seems to be an area that Mr Scott didn’t try to temper or repent from being.
This man could talk for hours and not say a thing, I'm amazed people sent this maniac money.
I remember him shouting "Get on the telephone!" several times in a broadcast and I think that was his best, and funniest, quote.
He was genius and an influence on Andy kaufmann
@@FarmersAreDummiesyeah ".....THERE'S A PHONE OFF THE HOOK....."
Do you have a copy of Scott’s intro? It was a song that ended with the lyrics “God don’t like it too” and featured a wind-up monkey banging cymbals together,.
Blocked again! Look up Reformation Music by Ronnie Span.
"I read it in an ancient book, so therefore it's literally true" If that isn't logic, reason, evidence then I don't know what is.
I used to watch him every day, just to crack up! I even recorded one his angry rants on a cassette once and brought it on a road trip with my mother, playing the part where he cusses, over and over until my mother shouted "Turn that off! That man is sick in the head!" and I couldn't hold in my laughter 🤣.
He was a genius. The church died/ was nullified quickly after this period ( his death). I m in 2024, there was a remnant church, then, now and untill he comes.
She was wrong. Yelling and being upset was prescient. Enter Obama, communusm, the death of America en- sues... circa 2024
Bogus not to include his 3 chalkboard exegesis, jam packed with ancient languages and scribbled on every inch. Great teacher as well as showman. Hit piece bogosity.
Yeah the late night lectures when you're really stoned were boss.
The dummies blessed him with millions.
I remember watching and in a strange way being fascinated that a preacher could get away with having Merle Haggard, dancing girls and cursing on TV - all the while being a great teacher. I still don’t know what to make of him or what he was truly after. Maybe all of the above. The Bob Knight of televangelists. 😀
Try Andy Kaufman. Genius.
I liked his uncanny ability to proto-troll the irs
He was after your wallet. And not much else.
@@mszuzubookitty4646 why
@@scrunchymacscruff1244 because he could. Goggle the mansion he lived in, it recently sold for 48 million. Now I know he didn’t pay that for it years ago. But at 32,500 sq feet it didn’t come cheap even 25 or 30 yrs ago.
There's more than enough anger in this world.
Dr. Gene Scott was my guy much respect to him after you left things are never the same again
That's right...🇺🇸 😎👍☕
Great memories of seeing this guy late at night ! No idea what he was going on about usually 😂
As a kid briefly living in San Diego in the 80s, this guy was on rambling on about "double portion" month... I cannot understand how this man reached anyone with God's Word with his creepy attitude. If I was in the congregation, I'd walk up to him and backhand some sense into him.
Q: How do you know whether or not you are in a religious cult !
A: An infallible proof ! YOU ARE ALWAYS BROKE !
God never spoke to his prophets through other people or Clara Grace ! The French have a word for this. Its called SEANCE !
Deuteronomy 13:1 If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder,
2 AND THE SIGN OR THE WONDER COME TO PASS, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them;
3 Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the Lord your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
Well, so many have rejected Christ thinking it was to soft and flowery of a message. This preacher is for those. Anything to save just one.
the king is in his counting house, counting out his money... @ 30:54 "it has nothing to do with money!" Um...apparently it does.
He’s been dead for years and here I am still getting chuckles from him and his followers.
"I don't want your prayers, I want your money." -Gene Scott, 1981. Yeah, he was a regular St. Francis of Assisi...
Back in the 80's there was a channel that aired Gene Scott 24 hours a day. I'd pause a few seconds to watch this guy rant and rave before moving on. Then during the Craig Kilborn and Jon Stewart era of The Daily Show they had a segment called God Stuff hosted by John Bloom (aka Joe Bob Briggs) and they'd frequently include a clip of Dr. Scott looking like a holy pitbull or berating one of the crew due to some technical difficulties that were not checked before they went on air. I imagine the crew changed frequently as a result of this type of childish behaviour. He seems to be a perfect subject for Herzog.
Indeed the same spirit that operated in Brother Stair. He would complain about his sound, that sounded fine for those listening - just not to the liking of the deaf Stair, and belittle his technicians. They were used, as were all, for scapegoats so that the Big Man was never the problem. RG Stair would also blame his tech's for airing his embarrassing or revealing rants - apparently he had no means of stopping his own evil spirits exposing himself.

I remember Watching late at night...usually with a drink in one hand and a cigar in the other.
I smoked cigar tobacco because of him, lol! I couldn't buy cigars, being I was underage, but I managed to purchase a foot-long one through the Johnson Smith Company (they never checked for age) and stuffed the tobacco into a pipe I inherited from my uncle to smoke. When I smoked the cigar pipe around my mom, she expected that sweet pipe scent, but discovered it was a cigar scent and told me "That smells like a fart!" 🤣.
Or a joint!!!😂
"Lying on my back, watching some TV and there is nothing left to see, hypnotized by the screen turn the channel down to channel 33, and there's silver bearded man staring back at me"
amazing to this day,I watched every night!
I remember watching him when I was 11 on a TV station, KAGL 30. It also aired Glen Chambers, and other religious programs.
Since the google group is dead, is there another forum out there(not Narkive)?
Gene Scott and Marjoe Gortner would've made a helluva team out on the road together back in the day. What a circus. lol
Never heard a better teacher/preacher. Miss him and I'm indedted to him for his teaching.
People can say what they want about Brother stair but as a Shortwave listener he is the one that brought me back to God through his Shortwave broadcasts. That alone has to be worth something. I listen to Gene Scott on Shortwave too but it was Stair who awoke me again.
Stair might shout and roar and Scott might have a more soft approach but the message is the same. Scott does his fair share of shouting too.
It's mad to watch Scott rant on when some people donate a few hundred when in fact maybe that's all they had. I never heard Stair complain about any donations.
I heard Stair use the writings in the book of Acts comparing those who don't give all to him in reference to Ananias and Sapphira who withheld a portion. This was used out of context in order to defraud brothers and sisters of all. You and others would know this if you moved into a Community. Furthermore the control got more and more oppressive as time progressed. Stair held all the leverage to threaten to evict brothers and sisters at that point and did so for any reason. He put people down with name calling and told us to go to hell. He mocked us and taunted us. There were so many witnesses to his ungodly sexual advances. I remember 1 precious sister, a virgin was assigned a 4 AM shift in the kitchen and Stair knew she was alone. He went and sodomized her as she wept on the kitchen floor while she covered her face with her hands. This was not consensual. Only a cruel man would misuse the spiritual authority he claimed to have to objectify these sisters in this manner. Another sister had a terrible outbreak around her mouth from having oral sex with Stair. When she had begged him to leave her alone Stair said, "Don't you want to please the Lord?" Stair was a reprobate and viewed sisters as a way to vent his filthy perversion onto. Pray for those that were harmed. Stair will give account before Jesus Christ. This should cause others to tremble that supported him, the most inner circle that made it appear a godly Community and allowed themselves to help draft others to take the place of those who left. They know and some of them had daughters that were sexually assaulted but betrayed their own precious daughters and stayed for decades now watching the same exact thing happen to other sisters. They only aided and abetted a sexual criminal in a perpetual cycle as Stair never repented. I deeply regret not knowing all this and moving there with my family in the 90's. It would have spared me much grief and sorrow if we had known the truth.
Ralph Stair molested young girls , right in front of the church's, there's a video on UA-cam called brother rg stair prophet of lust
Sound is out of sync...bad copyright karma...
This would be a great movie
At 45:34.......Man can those guys sing. Awesome.
What the hell was that song about rusty halos?
I remember this cigar smoking dude yelling and staring at the camera saying no money, no teaching or something like that. It was extremely boring and pretty bizzare. But his method must have worked to build wealth for himself.
That's no man of GOD...
Gene Scott was not perfect but he was one of the best preachers ever I don't care
I was quite young when I'd see this angry preacher on TV while grandma was tuned in. I didn't realize until today what a good looking guy he was. I like his message and genuine demeanor. Who's the beauty lying on the couch 24:43?
Either your hard up or desperate for attention 😜🎱😜
I was curious about the woman on the couch as well perhaps his wife IDK
i remmeber seeing his audiece chantong and banging on things ....wheres the film clip of that
Gene Scott was the founder of minimalism, but he paid for it in lack of privacy and at the mercy of the whims of those providing his free ride. And this Stanford educated genius is crazy like a fox in a henhouse
Founder of minimalism? Did he find it inside his 32,500 sq ft Pasadena mansion?
A madman.
Stair obviously copied this persona. He didn't have a genuine personality but put on a different mannerism to suit the moment as neccessary. I heard him "play" the black preacher many times as well complete with exaggerated speech cadence and Southern accent. He was a phony and a copy cat. Underneath it all he was a weak coward who targeted brothers and sisters with cunning precision to offend and harm their faith.
You want to know the cult leader that Brother Stair really copied, it was Herbert W. Armstrong.
Check this out. For those that know RG Stair’s pet phrases this will shock you.

@@microcults9827 I'm updating my responce as of 3/22. The topic of this video is on late Gene Scott. Has nothing to do with Ralph Stair. I've been seeing Gene Scott on TV since my early teens. I can't consider his ministry a cult. I've took classes on cults in college. Let's make it simple. Musicians, Politicians, News Commentators, Actors, copy and rip off others. Preachers do the same. H.W. Armstrong was a original. No telling how many have rip off him. As of this writing, Ukraine is being blasted by a thug named Valdimir Puntin, and our stupid President, Joe Biden wants to make deals with wanna be deal thugs like Puntin? Dan Bongino has said it best, Joe Biden is the worst President in U.S. History and Joe Biden is a rip off, President Zelenskyy of Ukraine is a real leader.
23:49. I think a lot of us feel that. Life is a struggle.
Dr Gene Scott was about money, not God. He said a lot of words to make him sound smart, but he didn't say much meaningful.
It's not about money 😂
Those singers are a good way to drive people mad....in a good way 😮
The music is so depressing to me...maybe it reminds me of the boring long hours this dude was on the TV 📺 back in the day, my dad lounging in his chair 💺 My dad liked him for awhile lol
Dr. Gene Scott had a IQ of 210 according to a Stanford Professor. He had a photographic memory. He knew the Bible inside and out. His early years of teaching through the Bible was very scholarly. He started a to get angry when his wife divorced him, because he would cut his relationship with his mother. That's when things changed.
160 according to Mensa of which he was a member. Your last part is garbage.
What do you mean by "cut his relationship with his mother?" BTW, I would bet he was born angry. He did jump the shark after his wife divorced him.
Jesus said, "You receive for free... give for free." This man was a demon in the flesh.
Memphis Sommers speaks by demons thus self condemns.
He was so blatantly money grubbing it was hilarious. Also openly cavorted with whores, but no one seemed to care. Haha gotta hand it to the guy, he was one hell of a businessman and big-time bullshit artist. An American classic.
he was something else .i tell you .
451, your words are condemning Jesus who Memphis Sommers is quoting 😬🙈.
Learn what 1John 4:1 means, he’s speaking specifically of prophets.
I remember him going on a spiel for a spell about hilarious givers. A couple of times he could barely keep a straight face. We'd watch him as teens for laughs, but it is sobering that a similar crook might take over the country. Incredible how gullible and stupid peoole are.
People miss his point. He was doing Andy Kaufman put on before and even better
Used to check him out in his sharp pimp hat, smoking his cigar, blasting other TV preachers as phonies.
Notice none of the other televangelist say nothing about Scott's swearing, smoking or rants?
"It has nothing to do with money!"
He was always on one channel or another in the 1980s.
I will never forget my Dadsayin Hey take a look at this guy.. It was 1987 and wow.... He really knew the Bible but he was definitlly entertaining : )
have you the clip with the orginale masters v with the clip jd sang " walk that lonesomeroad "
'Get on those telephones'!!!!!! hahahhahaah...what a scammer...
Classic
Used to see him live on some UHF channel from LA back around 1983. At that time he was raising money to buy a church in downtown LA. Looking back he never really offered a thing to humanity or had any message so to speak . He was a big BS for sure. He was like a tic tok of wasting time 40 years ago lol.
Seems like the saul goodman of televangelists which is saying something, considering the profession
That was KHOF Ch. 30, dude.
So a bunch of people just randomly happened to all donate $3600? 😂😂😂 such a con
Baby Billy Freeman????! Is that you?!!!!
This is not a cult.
It almost was. There was no effective church restraint on this guy. Free speech existed for him but no one else in the congregation. If you had a hair out of place you could get whacked. He ran the place like a tyrannical third world dictator. He also mentioned during the years I was in his church how he would barricade the doors with communion tables if he was getting raided by the Feds which I felt secretly was scarry and unnecessary.
Schoolyard bully becomes a conman preacher. That's not much of a leap.
Are those 14K eye glass frames granny wearing , they don't look cheat or ordinary but expensive,very expensive 🤫 @ 7:27 @ 7:45

I remember watching as a kid and he said send me money I got horses to feed. LMAO.....A shameless charlatan who was very entertaining to watch ~
Is that the worst gospel singing you ever heard? Done deliberately. Scott's broadcasts we're a hoot
There's a sucker born every minute.
Gods Work hangs on a misble 600 Dollars...God is held to an open Shame!! 😮
When I used to see him on a local UHF late night as a teenager, I thought he was completely crazy. Only in the following decades when I found his incredible Bible teaching did I realize his value.
He was the best of teachers, and he was the worst of teachers. You heard him hint at some of it here. I truly believe he believed with every fiber of his being, and that's why he couldn't let so much of this go. At the same time, he was so brilliant that he battled his capacity to sin. He knew he could sin and not get caught, yet he also believe God would destroy Him if He saw fit He was a man of intense strengths and intense weaknesses.
Shame on the makers of this documentary for not even showing a minute of his Bible teachings. When he wasn't ranting about the FCC, he could bring the scriptures to life.
He didn't get it all right... but none of us do. He'd be the first to quote 1 John 1:8 which says, "if we claim to be with out sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth isn't in us." I have no doubt Dr. Scott was a fierce sinner... and he knew it... and that's why he fought so fiercely for what he believed was God's work.
They say the body of Christ is made up of many parts; I could imagine Dr. Scott saying he was the armpit of Christ (or an even stinkier part of the body?). I think he filled a very unique need. After many decades of hearing his teachings, I've come to the conclusion that he was more sincere than 90% of the teachers you see on television today.
He was doing Andy Kaufman and Kaufman cited him as an influence.
They need to make a better Jean Scott documentary this is all about money
