Who was the addict in Pastor Gene Scott’s life?
I recently had a fascinating exchange of ideas with a friend of Pastor Gene Scott. I mentioned his February 2005 passing in the "Under Watch" section of the www.addictionreport.com in March 2005, for reasons mentioned in the exchange. Dr. Scott's friend, Harry A. Van Twistern, gave me permission to publish our exchange without the usual altering of names and minor details.
Dear Mr. Doug Thorburn:
I found the following item in the Thorburn Addiction Report of March 2005:
"Televangelist Gene Scott who, as a young man, rebelled against the strict teachings of abstinence from alcohol that he grew up with as the son of a fundamentalist preacher and subsequently married three times, dead at age 75 from prostate cancer."
I think you should know ...
