It should be noted that none of the institutions listed have ever been accredited, let alone recognized as having the authority to confer a "real" doctorate. For that matter, none of these institutions even have post-graduate studies programs - accredited or not. It is rather shaky.
I worked for Bro. Urshan briefly many, many years ago. I never knew him to use any sort of title other than "Rev." - and even that was a formality. I don't know why they pulled "Dr." out of the bag for the Ankerberg debates. In my opinion, we should not have even had the GS go on the show - just for appearances sake. |
I guess that goes to show how little I know about it. I just assumed any college that does not have earned doctorates (whether accredited or not) would not be giving out honorary doctorates.
