'We' ministers and laymen used to be simply Brother and Sister. It was sorta like a family at church, our pastor is still called Brother.The excessive (if it is) use of Doctor Doe stems from the time we had one or two men in the COG ministry who actually was educated to the DD level. Pastors were proud to tell folks, xyz holds a doctorate, it was so unusual in our denomination. Some for years frowned on the higher education, one was expected to graduate from the college of hard knocks using Knee-ology. Maybe when everyone gets a DD it won't stand out so much. Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/

Worthless titles don't seem to hold anyone back in the COG. OTCP is going to need to call them out individually. They don't shame very easily.

Cojak, the DD is a honery docterate, not a earned doctorate. Now in the early 1900's the DD was a earned doctorate, but except for degree mills, the DD has been for decades a honery docterate. The early 1900's is my time frame of reference my friend, but thanks, this living under a rock is not educational, but I am trying. (Mama says your sure are, trying that is!)

Post subject:  HighFive: Baptist
I think it is silly and would not permit it to be used in front of my name if I had an honorary degree. But I have NEVER allowed Reverend in front of my name either. Just my choice. Not critical of those who do. But I will tell you one thing.....Baptist preachers abuse the Doctor thing more than anyone. A fact
