Pastor Melissa Scott and Dr. Gene Scott are said to teach that giving to the poor or homeless encourages disease, addiction, violence from concealed weapons, laziness and disbelief in God.

Because they'd like you to give the money to them. They are all in it for the dough. It's a racket.

I don't watch them much but heard Pastor Melissa Scott talking on live tv about going through the videos at some baptism she did, to find out who was asking questions. Another site said they have cameras outside and inside, even in the bathrooms.

I know who your talking about, they are on late night tv. Melissa is the one with that pretty, long hair right? She is very knowledgeable and I get alot out of her teaching. I heard Gene before too, however I don't remember either of them talking about how you should not give to the poor. Maybe I missed it. I have been very poor and even homeless myself. I was a "good" girl, yet no one could see my heart. (but God) I would have literally died if no one helped me or gave to me.... I almost did. I have a really hard time finding pastors or teachers I really like and Melissa was one, however I would sorely disagree with something like that. That is not Christ-like.

They are not televangelists. They are honest people. Perhaps you've never met Doc.

They prefer you give to the rich (AKA themselves)
