For any diehard Gene Scott fans, you can buy his '67 Rolls Royce
Corniche Coupe on ebay.

Doc Scott's widow needs the money. Last night I heard her begging for
cash
because donations are way down. She says she can't run the Doc's ministry
as he did on only half the donations. Actually, I'm surprised the
ministry
is getting even half without the Doc. The widow is far less compelling.
And I'm sure the true believers can invest their evangelical dollars in
far
more efficent media than Doc Scott reruns.


Yeah, I heard her whingeing last night too. She's lashing out and blaming
the listeners for failing to fulfill their promises. Only 50% of the
listeners and 50% of the donations from last year, but costs are still 100%,
blah-blah. She had the anger and righteous indignation of her late husband,
but little of the persuasiveness. I'm kinda surprised she still has the
ministry going, you'd think a rest might give her peace of mind, but it
sounded like she was on a one-way trip to both the poorhouse and nuthouse if
last night's tirade is any indication.


In an odd coincidence, last night was the last SW night for the Hour of
the
Time. The unmemorable guy who took over the show from the late Bill
Cooper
said, again, freeloaders and lack of donations were the problems.

So, I guess that shows there's no future in the SW Voice from the Grave
business. But that's to be expected. After all, that would be like
hearing
old, stale false predictions from the late Herbert W. Armstrong when we
could be listening to brand new false predictions from Prophet Stair.
