Here are a couple of my nominations to get it started:
PMS buys Newman
The Stamps sing at LAUC
The Hellfighter Wars on AFGS(Feb & March?)
Secret M1 Fundraiser
matt2442:
I'm not sure what to nominate. Certainly the Hellfighter wars were a
major era in AFGS history.
Are we nominating LAUC/PMS events that caused the most conversation in
AFGS? If so perhaps the Steve Stone assault caper would be high on the
list. Another event may have been the end of Doc on KDOC.
Perhaps I'm just superstitious, but I'd definitely take that as a bad
sign.

My personal favorite was when Peppermint Patty threatened afgs from
LAUC pulpit. This was in 2006 right?
I posted here many times "Hey Patty, Come And Get It" !
So I googled this. The first one up is from Jun 27 2005.

OK nevermind, I'll just have to think of something more interersting
than Hellfighter. Batty Addy's larceny with his pool company and Steve
Stone's negligence and abuse family situation were interesting tho'.
Good point Missy, while I'm at it I'll yank the plug on grandma and stop
feeding the dog.
Right after hellboundfighter faked 10+ postings from/for
afgs'ers -
"God, Please forgive me for judging Dr. Scott and Mrs. Scott"
I have sinned before thee oh my God. Please forgive and heal me of my
demon inspired hate and spite of Your chosen Domata's. Thank you
Father for hearing my confession. Please forgive me!
And God Bless HellFighter/Addison for praying and working so hard f
or my complete healing!

My time on staff, working for Gods man, who was doing Gods work,
in the body of Christ
120-130 hours a week, sans paycheck
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
All that we can do is just survive
All that we can do to help ourselves is stay alive
Ragged lines of ragged grey
Skeletons, they shuffle away
Shouting guards and smoking guns
Will cut down the unlucky ones !
I clutch the wire fence until my fingers bleed
A wound that will not heal
A heart that cannot feel
Hoping that the horror will recede
Hoping that tomorrow we'll all be freed
Sickness to insanity
Prayer to profanity
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Days and weeks and months go by
Don't feel the hunger
Too weak to cry
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I hear the sound of gunfire at the prison gate
Are the liberators here?
Do I hope or do I fear?
For my father and my brother, it's too late
But I must help my mother stand up straight
Are we the last ones left alive?
Are we the only human beings to survive?

The audience was accused of failing when in fact the leader has never cut
the mustard -- although she has spread the mayo many a time.
Shows like this bring in viewers. Taking food out of children's mouths to
appease the pastress....thats must see TV.
matt2442:
The all time top ten would take some research, unless there are some
who have been posting here since 1993.
When was the great (cover up) "cut & paste" caper? Or the outright
lie of "I am not now nor have I ever been in the porno biz" ..or how
about
your own posting of the pony girls dancing picture after her challenge
of "find a picture of me in a mini skirt"...
All three incidents show her true colors.
then with tails between his legs,
eagerly running out!
What did you guys say to him? Sheesh!
The stench level has risen to the top and joined Melissa's own
dishonesty
about her pornography.
The waves of criminal revelations get my vote for the most noteworthey
2006 ministry events.
What is Brent's title/function ?
I always thought Doc picked on his self-importance, seating everyone
just so, but Doc actually liked that air of greatness doing just a
noble
task for God's man in God's house.
His brother Brad got out two or three years ago. He just had a change
of heart and left Planet Scott.
i
Was Doc a germaphobe? Did he instruct people who had been exposed to
sick people to stay away from him?
Thanks. His brother was Blair, close enough. It is just hard for
me to grasp why I see him & Teresa still there. I do not get it.

matt2442:
Is Ed Cromarty still there? He used to be the head usher, but that was
a long time ago.
The situation can't possibly be as tense for ushers as it was when Doc
was alive, knowing that he was going to blow a gasket and leave if the
seats weren't full to his satisfaction.
Um, I'm not defending what happened to you at all - but this
victimization is pathetic. There was no chain link fence, there was no
gunfire. You could have walked away at any moment. Self-imposed slavery
is not the same as force-imposed slavery.
Like I said, I'm not defending the conditions you endured, but I
cannot, for the life of me, compare you to a prisoner when you chose to
endure them. It's perfectly understandable to be mad at someone who
tricked you. It's not perfectly understandable to keep going to work
when no paychecks are being written. If you did that, I don't see how
you can quote lyrics that place no blame on yourself.
I'm not interested in a pyschological profile, I'm just saying a little
mia culpa would put this all in a much more healthy and realistic
perspective.
As a side note, I know that Neil Pert is an avowed atheist, but I
wonder about Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee. Any idea?

matt2442:
<Ahem> Most of us did walk away. The reason it took some of us so long
is that psychological barriers can be as powerful as more tangible
ones.

mattt2442:
I know that you are not addressing me with this, but I did spend years
of self condemnation for my failure to recongnize and react to obvious
warning signs. I don't have to continue to dwell there either.

matt2442:
I'll keep praying for Neil. Don't know about the other two regarding
their beliefs.
Some believe Brent is sitting on the fence, with his no shows, but he
needs
the attention of feeling important so comes back.
First Dr. Scott was cautious about catching germs. Some people came and
spread theirs by coughing and sneezing. The noise got disruptive to the
broadcast. But Doc and Melissa go overboard in saying they don't want
anyone who's sick, even if they aren't contagious, on the platform.
They've
extended that to anyone who's been around anyone at work or home
who might be sick or might have been exposed.
The 300 are not supposed to be near anyone outside the church that's
sick.
That means they can't help their own sick family and friends. I thinks
it's
another controlling way to isolate them from helping anyone but the
pastor.
Now with fewer volunteers, if someone calls in sick, the coordinator or
Dean
press them for how sick are they, and to use their judgment but be
careful not
to give germs to Pastor Melissa. They used to be told to stay away or
cme
and sit in the back rows, just in case they were gong to come down with
some illness.
Once I brought some prominent out-of-town guests to Sunday at the
cathedral. They had been watching and sending in support and messages.
Dr. Scott knew of them and announced their home town in welcoming
guests before the message, along with others.
As Brent was bustling around and we were escorted to the right side
aisle,
I let my guests know had to wait to be seated. Brent acknowledged me,
held up 5 fingers to ask if we needed 5 seats. I nodded, he bustled
over
to one of the ushers in training and made him move a "filler" old man
with long beard back a few rows. Then, looking around, and at the
clock,
he marched with purpose up to us, gave me a fake smile, and nodded to
my guests, and walked us briskly, importantly, down to in the front
five
rows. He made a sweeping gesture with his arms, to show us the way,
nodding and pointing and holding up how many fingers, as if we couldn't
figure it out.
While smiling at us, he frowned at someone who had moved themselves
to adjust and fill in the gap, shooing them to move down further to
make
room for us. As my guests stood quietly and perplexed, I almost
laughed
at the inane scene of Brent quickly changing between sweeping gestures
with a smile to shooing with a scowl. It was like something out of a
comedy
routine. But I knew better, the cameras were already panning the crowd
for proper attitudes. I had warned my guests that no matter what
nappens,
stay where you are put, with a peaceful supportive smile on your face,
making no movements or sounds, except to get your offerings out.
To cut to the chase, as we shuffled into our row and seats, I saw my
well travelled, savvy friend had a $50 bill out to slip into Brent's
hand,
with the corner turned back to show the denomination of the bill, for
the
escort and good seating, but I frowned briefly to let him know that
wasn't
appropriate. Later he told me that he and Brent had made eye contact,
and as he was getting the tip ready, Brent glanced at it, nodded and
smiled graciously and stuck closer to him.
My guest was absolutely one hundred percent certain that Brent would
have accepted it if passed inconspicuously, and had his hand extended
back to receive it, but the moment passed as one of the other guests
passed between them. He called it tip seeking maitre-de behavior, and
that the going rate for front seating in Vegas at the time was $100.
In watching Brent, I often wondered how often he got and kept tips.
lol.
However, when a Scott devotee is sick, the world of those around him or
her
must be geared to taking care of and getting God's important saint
well.
The family, friends and neighbors of the committed ones to Scott have a
duty to get exposed, for the sake of God's word and Dr. Scott's church.

matt2442:
I never thought about this, or noticed. The cameras were sweeping the
audience before the curtain went up?
I will post a response later tonight. H8n S8N
Don'tcha know how sick we were?
I thought you knew?
Then Melissa claimed that she was destined to
take the ministry to even higher levels than
ever before.
Both fizzled, like all else Melissa touches.
