The part of the article I like is when the author says downtown LA "is
the center of Los Angeles geographically, but it has no real
importance to the city." Reminds me of how paradoxically Dr. Scott
always said that the church needed to have a strong presence in
downtown LA, since
many congregations had fled to suburbia.
The other quote I thought was funny was the author's description of
the Sunday service when he says, "people clapped and waved their
hands, and in general acted a
whole lot stranger than they would normally. Finally the singing and
the clapping stopped, and people sat down."
Great comments.

WM-The idea was, that if a "stronghold" was not maintained in the
heart of LA, that the forces of darkness would completely overtake the
city. Congregations, that didn't teach the truth anyway, were
abandoning the city to powerful demonic forces. So there stood Gene
alone and his band of givers, becouse fighting off this takeover costs
money. Oh and the Catholics were there who Gene credited with wisdom
in understanding this warfare. Nonetheless Gene represented a
protestant voice thwarting a complete demonic take over. Competing
with the Catholics cost big money as well.
And just you never mind your own city becouse LA was the center of the
world according to Gene and so "as goes LA so goes the world". So you
better not let LA be turned over to wicked forces or the whole world
will go down the tubes. Yes, supporting a church in downtown LA was
the restraining force that kept the world from another dark age.Yet
behind the picture Gene drank deeply from the vats of LA. A real "when
in Rome"man. And Gene sold LA like a heavenly real estate agent to
people all over the country. The the high and low. Even to the guy in
the outbacks with the double wide with a dish out back.
More like Lot at the gates of Sodom. Somewhere out on the rocky and
sandy tundra was Abraham whom Lot had screwed over. Lot having lifted
up his eyes, saw the well watered and green land. Besides Lot was
actually the chosen one anyway to his thinking and he and his
decedents continued to fancy themselves as such long after the failed
mission to Sodom had failed to stay the hand of destruction. A
destruction that Lot would have been a part of if not for Abraham.

i would almost say he is autistic but he isn't because there was a

his life she was able to control this stuff.
