The Doctor Is In, Jan. 5, 1985 --- With thanks to "DP"
Tulsa, Oklahoma... 'I'm the president of the Doctor Scott fan club here at Oral Roberts University.' [laughter from the Voices of Faith] "Well that oughta make Oral's day... 'We're a bunch of students that meet in a meeting room at the Oral Roberts University.' "Well, I used to meet in his horse barn when that place was bein' built. I'd see Oral in the morning in his hip-boots, wadin' thru the snow, comin' and lookin' for me. And we'd go over to the horse barn and philosophize."
'Doc we want to know if we had enough who support you if you'd come and speak at our chapel.' "You'd better ask Oral!" 'Also we heard that you assisted in setting up a curriculum at our university'... "I was the first consultant that ever came in there. I wrote the philosophy for the school at the outset...but I was aimin' people for eternity. I don't know what they're doin' now."
"I remember playin' golf with Oral Roberts... I was playin' out of his clubs, with his little pull cart. I always noticed, he'd hit the ball and then he'd start walkin', like he used to come out from behind the curtain. And he'd leave that golf club and the cart there. Well you know, I was a guest so I pulled it the first hole... the second hole, we teed off and Oral starts swingin' off down the fairway leavin' the golf cart sittin' there, for me to truck along and pull it. Finally, I think it was a 5 par, I hit my ball and just took off walkin'!"
[reading another message]: 'I'm the lady from Dallas who's mentioned my cousins are Assemblies of God and Church of God preachers. I was telling them about an incident the other evening and used the word damn. They almost died. My cousin said, couldn't you have expressed yourself without using that terrible word? I looked him in the eye and said, Hell no! [Voices of Faith applaud] 'His reaction was, You must still be listenin' to Gene Scott!'
"Bless those Assemblies of God folks' hearts. They wouldn't have been the
fastest growin' denomination in the world if I hadn't been the research
director on their Committee on Advance. They owe me somethin', at the very least
they oughta quit criticizin' me. It took a man who knows how to say hell and
damn to tell 'em how to grow!"
