www.ourclarksville.comis currently located in Kinston, NC.1. CSOT began in 1952 in Clarksville, TN, thus, the name Clarksville School of Theology. The entity now goes by the name Clarksville Theological Seminary 2. CSOT/TS is accredited by American Accrediting Association of Theological Institutions, Inc. located in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, a non-recognized agency. AAATI is a one-man operation, with the accreditation being of no value at all.3. Most faculty have unaccredited credentials.4. The CSOT doctorate (ThD) is 32 hours, and cost $960.5. Several COG preachers claim docterates from this entity.
And to think that I pastored there for nine years and never took advantage of such a wonderous opportunity! Honestly, I never even heard of the place while I was there from 2006- 2015. I knew about a Baptist organization that offered Bachelors and Masters degrees, but not Doctorates. Oh well, another great opportunity missed.
I’m pretty sure I can beat that price and get rich. Hey OTCP! Want to be on my board of regents________________

You exemplified great

Reminds me of a pet peeve of mine when people refer to their accountant with H & R Block as their CPA. Once, I spoke to a group of ministers in Miami and one of the older men commented that having my CPA was about as good a being a Notary I don’t think he was being mean, just extremely ignorant. I worked very hard for my professional accounting certifications (CPE, CFE) and it is very upsetting for people to associate what could even be people without an Accounting degree as the same as a CPA is extremely upsetting. I have another certification (CICA) that was awarded on a grandfather clause based upon my degrees and experience. I am even relunctant to refer to that certification as I didn’t have to take a professional written exam for it. Even though I know that initial MD’s, Attorneys, and CPA’s were grandfathered in based on similar criteria. I fully understand legitimately earned PhD’s being upset with the degree mill variety. People will also brag about honorary PhD’s as well. While honorary PhD’s from legitimate Universities are impressive, they still do not equate to those that sat through at least 1 year of post graduate academic classes, oral defense, and at least another year on a dissertation. Sadly, some of those purchased PhD holders think theirs is somehow legit.
Thanks for the tip OTCP.I could either put a new tv on the mantle or get this doctorate.It was less work to get the doctorate.Dr. NB________________
You are most welcome, NB. Any an Every time OTCP can expose degree mills, hey, he is gonna do so.
Rough, are you suggestin an all that COG preachers, claimin to be filled with the HS, would lay their ETHICS aside to pursue their EGO?Said differently, that a COG preacher would obtain a worthless docterate from a two-bit entity like:International SeminaryChristian Bible CollegeJacksonville Theological SeminaryCovington Theological SeminaryBethany Divinity College/SeminaryNewburgh Theological SeminaryAndersonville Theological SeminaryNorthwestern International University, Ltd.Catalpa Bibleway UniversityClarksville School of Theology,an commence callin hisself The Rev. Dr. Johnny Bob Doe professionally, based solely on a unaccredited milled diploma?
Degree mills are bad news. Those who have an earned doctorate have every right to be offended by such tomfoolery. When people adopt the title without doing the work they aren’t fooling anyone except the gullible. If you claim to be a Dr and consistently use poor grammar and lack basic writing and communicative skills you’re telling on yourself!
You make excellent points, Sheik:* The mere attempt at fooling anyone reveals a lack of biblical ethics.* Poor communicative skills reveal the lack of true doctoral level study.* The most frequent abusers are indeed Pennycostals, Charismatics & Independent Baptists.
