X Equals Y! Hallelujah!
When I was in middle and high school, there was a tv show on some obscure channel, where some guy would do math problems for the camera. You could call in with a homework problem, and they'd do it on tv. This guy had a whiteboard and everything. I used to watch it sometimes. You know, like when my mom was about to walk in and I didn't want to get busted watching MTV.
It probably still exists now, or some version of it at least. Recently I thought I caught it out here in SF. But then I noticed the teacher was a woman who is a pastor. With the while collar and everything. She uses whiteboards too. Nothing good was on recently, and I stopped at the preacher's math channel to see what was being taught to the young folks these days.
Except ... the whiteboards were covered with more words than numbers. And some of the words didn't seem to be in English. I kept watching. Eventually the light bulb went off in my head.
This pastor woman is teaching the bible! That's why her math book is black! I looked into this further (so you don't have to; you're welcome) and Pastor Melissa Scott is slightly interesting.
Seems she was married to the original Pastor Scott - some old guy who used to do what she does, but then he croaked. So she took over. What interests me most is that the site claims she speaks 20 languages. When I listen to her speak, I hear so many different accents. Deep South, Midwest, Middle East, etc. Her speech is all over the map.
Within her world she's quite popular. The church she's in is HUGE! I'm not quite sure why there's a 1-800 number on the screen at all times since she doesn't seem to take bible questions from viewers. I kept the show on for over a half hour. Not one phone call. Maybe Phil Donahue could teach her a thing or two? Also, why does she seem so angry? And, if she's in LA, why hasn't she found someone better to wax her eyebrows? Can I get an Amen?!
I couldn't help but notice that if you want to write in to the show, there's a P.O. Box in Los Angeles. She's got P.O. Box 1. I bet that's because she's in tight with Jesus.
By the time her show is winding down the whiteboards are covered in words and colors. It looks like football plays, algebra, and jesus stuff, all mixed into one.
Oooh - this just in! 9am watches her when he's working out! Okay I can't stand this anymore. Good night. And god bless.

I'm guessing that if YOU call the 1-800 number and pledge a minimum amount YOU TOO can have an IN with JEEEEESUS.
(By minimum, I am not indicating AT ALL that it is a small amount)
I'm also glad to hear 9am is watching. He's got to be thinking "Why are Muslims afraid of these freaks?"
9am watches her when he's working out
That's hilarious!
That church she preaches in is one of downtown LA's old theaters on Broadway. I'm guessing about the size of the Warfield.
I always though she was the old guy's daughter and when he was alive she would just sing with her hella long hair swinging around. not bad, but a little creepy.
yes good tv when you're without about cable and bored out of your mind.
Like silliyak said, the phone number and address are there so you know where to send your money. 10% of your income is the general rule.
she was married to Dr. Gene Scott, (google him) rober dean is correct, the church is in downtown LA, Dr.Gene had been on tv in LA for many decades and i was in love with him for a long time. He did not always have a white board, he used to just preach and sometimes he would get really pissed and chew out the tv audience or his staff members for something or other. he also had horses that do those cart races and dresage (sp? ) and sometimes he would show endless footage of his horses doing jumps. I think he had a Phd from Stanford and when he was focused and clear he was quite brilliant.

Holy smokes!!
I went to your tight with jesus link. Thats a pretty scary link. check out the main page and read some of writings. QUOTE "While these Christians are waiting for that physical Temple which will be built by man's hands, they had missed the Spiritual cyber Temple of GOD which was not made by hands, but by the free flow of electrons that is flowing through space." LOL!!!!
It gets better,
This guy is totally wacked
