To Star Scott, 

As pastor of Calvary Temple in Sterling, VA, and nearing the end of your life, I notice you have been talking of your past much more frequently these days. It seems your thoughts have turned to the legacy you will leave behind. 

A recent tragic event took place that catapulted your legacy to the forefront of my thinking. The blog Dear Calvary Temple received a comment from a Calvary Temple member’s step father telling of the tragic loss of his wife. It is also recounted on this blog. Their story made me realize you might be wondering how you will be remembered in years to come. 

Every family and individual listed below has been part of your life's work. Many have experienced the destruction of their family as a direct result of your teachings, divorces at your encouragement, loss of relationships with friends or family members, or spiritual abuse. In addition, there are some who have experienced sexual, emotional and physical abuse. 

As you have said before, there are THOUSANDS who have either fled your church, or been ordered to leave. All have been shunned by those still remaining in Calvary Temple. You have instructed your congregation to cut off relationship with those who have left….because “they are already dead.” 

(How did it affect you when you learned that the woman you had pronounced “already dead” took her own life just weeks later? How did Patrick, her own son, feel? What does he tell his children that have lost their beloved grandmother? Does he wonder if his mother might still be alive if she had not had a death sentence pronounced over her?) 

In addition to those have left or been put out of your church, your legacy will be remembered by every member of your congregation that still remains. They will remember the family and friends they have cut off at your  command. Yes, you have a legacy and it will continue on past your time on this earth. 

It may have become difficult to remember so many that have been part of your history, so let me help you out. 

The following is a partial list of those who have left Calvary Temple through the years and would certainly like to talk with you of how you have affected their lives, your legacy. Though some might not want to talk to you directly, rest assured most talk with one another frequently. And they talk to their neighbors and co-workers, their family and friends.

Again, this is a partial list. There are many, many others. Multiple friends, family members, and extended family not mentioned here that have spent years suffering the consequences of your teachings.  

There are many who continue to pray for you to humble yourself and repent. It's not too late.  But time is short and you should not hesitate.
