Ole Timer, I just came across something on the internet this evening saying that David Jeremiah only has an honorary doctorate. Know anything about that?
And what about Ravi Zacharias? |

Zacharias has no earned docterate, he's got six honery docterates.
Jeremiah has no earned doctorate, his is honery too.
Course, this don't mean these fellers aint intelligent or that they aint accomplished very effective ministries. It just means they don't got a earned docterate. |

This is sick....
To question a FREE degree, I can understand. But when I paid $38 that ain't no joke man. My life experience is worth a DD (Dadgummed Doctorate). That was a week's salary before taxes, in 1958, and I had a highly technical job. I had to place the Parade magazine in the EXACT center of every set of comics for the Sunday paper. YOu think that ain't tough.
Then I decided to be a Doctor. A whole week's salary and you laugh at it. At ain't funny! 
All I gotta say is I better get a validation on my parking. Cojac , DD

Ats a real good portrayal a this problem, Cojak. Ya got folk what thinks their life experience warrants a doctorate. You know, "I've tied my shoes all my life so I have earned this degree via life experience."
So, a preacher boy writes a few good sermons, starts a kids ministry in his church, has a few good revivals, an they think them life experiences are as valid in gittin a bachelor of arts degree as the feller who disciplined hisself, done the work, an earned the degree. Then, ya add to the life experiences, an a feller thinks he is worthy of a master of arts of master of divinity degree based on life experience. An the real funny one is at the docteral level. A feller plays the political game, is elected to a position within the denomination, an some think that warrants a docter of divinity based on life experience.
Nope, its a joke. |

Ain't no joke, while I was working and DOING stuff, y'all was sitting reading books and playing school. Us REAL Doctors quit school and was operating and smiling real time.
I got a DK also, Doctor of KNot Tying. I spent time with a Boatswain's mate aboard the AKA 107.  That deserves a Dr. imma tell you. You work under the Boats for awhile and you will agree, ask any sailor.

Sorry, Cojak, none a that warrants a docterate.
Now, it warrants respect, honor, recognition an all, but not a docterate. |
