Sadly true, but nevertheless let us rejoice in the one.
“Televangelist Melissa Scott, Gene Scott’s wife, was better known back in the 90’s as porn actress Barbie Bridges...”
Hmm. What, besides the fall from grace, seems to pre-qualify porn stars for the ministry? There seems to be a pattern emerging here. I did not know about Melissa Scott, but I do know that there are more than a few folks that were in the porn industry that seem to be involved in the evangelical movement (more power to ‘em), but still.
Consider the similarities between those that feel compelled to “hold forth” in public, and those that physically “let it all hang out” in public. I would suppose that someone that has enough porn films to their credit, would be a good deal less self conscious in front of folks. As one who used to make a living speaking to large groups, I’m wondering whether these porn stars may have already gotten over most of their stage fright. I’m not sure I’d recommend it for warming up for the lecture circuit though.
Now I’m starting to worry, maybe there more similarities between these porn folks and others that get up and do things in front of public like, professors, actors, ministers etc. We may be kindred spirits, but I imagine it would be pretty difficult for me to make a living in that particular industry. I’d starve!
Not the way they have to do it.
