Hillary may have erased hers with her emails and Donald just cannot read his.
Is that the test of ethics now________________
That Trump and Hillary, because they don’t use Dr. before their name–or for that matter, Ph.D behind their name if from an unaccredited university–are FAR SUPERIOR to men and women of God who, through no fault of their own (or perhaps because of time or money issues) didn’t go to a school that would pay for accreditation.Yes, these saints of God are almost demons in comparison to Trump or Hillary, since they have the utter gall to suggest that their non-accredited doctorate might be just as academically valid as that from an accredited program. After all, everybody knows that ONLY UTILITY MATTERS! Doesn’t matter how hard or easy the program is. All that matters is the UTILITY that comes with ACCREDITATION…which will not come unless a university PAYS FOR IT.Western Governor’s University allows you to test out of courses, taking only the courses you need to complete the degree. Yes, this university is accredited. But if someone who is NOT accredited is doing the same thing, then the difference may not have a thing to do with academic value, but only UTILITY.

It’s called hyperbole, Aaron. It’s a analogous example. I though mine was { with a little truth mixed in }
What does it matter if a theology school is accredited________________
You beat me Longhorn Normally, an attorney is only called Dr. in an Academic setting and I never hear Politician JD’s refer to themselves as Dr.According to ettituque (can’t spell), even PhD’s should only use Dr. in an academic setting, but it is quite common for them to do so today. I suppose that since ministry Doctorates typically serve in churches (and in Academia), it makes more sense they should use them from the pulpit, otherwise there wouldn’t be a forum for them to get to use their hard earned title. (Assuming they are real OT). It doesn’t bother me that (real) DMin use Dr. from the Pulpit, if anything it adds validity and respect for their position.I do have a problem with PhD’s insisting on being Dr. in social settings. It just comes across as pretentious.
The honery docterate alone allows NO ONE to use the title Dr.Unaccredited/Millish DMins, PhDs, DREs, DBSs, allow NO ONE to use the title Dr.
I agree with what you said. My problem is Phd’s insisting on being Dr in a social setting. It ends up being pretentious.I agree it is totally acceptable for DMin’s (and similar ministry doctorates) to be called Dr from the pulpit. That is their professional setting and therefore appropriate. Going through Walmart, however, and insisting on Dr is another story, that would be pretentious even for Minister. Going through Walmart and being called Pastor so and so, I think is fine as someone may overhear and ask for help. I generally talk to people at the university on first name basis unless I don’t know them or if they are in an Academic position vs Administration. If I were addressing them in a public (university) presentation, however, I would always call my associates by Dr to convey respect. Most PhD’s in Administration are perfectly fine without the Dr. Title.
