Yep, in Tom's post in The Excellent Pastor in the COG he addressed the façade of honery docterates. Bishop J David Stephens commented on the honor of bein awarded one. Course, nobody is sayin it aint a honor, only that it don't qualify a feller to be called Dr.Then, Dr. Jonathan Augustine, spoke voluminous truth when he said that NO ONE should ever be called Dr based on a honery docterate alone.Heres the question a the day!When will you personally stop facilitating the façade? When will you cease to reference anyone as Dr if all they have is a honery doctorate?

Is Hey Doc ok

I refuse to call anyone doctor if they haven't earned it. Mostly for their own benefit. I see no need to enable their need for validation without probable cause.

I got me one of 'em dere earned doctorates, but you guys don't have to call me doctor.Especially in a church context, do we need to call our brethren father, master, teacher, or doctor

Someone posted how many REAL doctorates there were on the CoG executive committee. Can't remember who or how many it was Memory problems, no?

Five men, one earned docterate, Dr. David Ramirez. OK, thanks for the clarification.

I never call my MD, etc Dr. I always call them by their first name.To them it is no big deal, none of them have Ever said You must call me Dr.Whatever.

I suppose it could happen in some incredibly egotistical cases, but having been around several preachers who had honorary doctorates, I have never heard of any of them demanding to be referred to by the title. My guess is that most who insist on referring to ministers with honorary doctorates as Doctor are just trying to curry favor. Now

Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/

We had a feller in the state office what got him a honery docterate. An yes, a memo went out from his office requestin at he be referenced as Dr. Johnny Bub Doe. Another feller got in good with ole Randy White back for Without Walls turned into No Walls, an Randy gave him a honery docterate from his 2 year Bible institute. Sonnnnnnnn, at ole boys head got to swimming an for ya knowed it evertime I seen his name is was Dr. James Diddly Doe.
