God calls whom He will. He judges their qualifications. He calls some very qualified academically and some not.

I too resent mills, but I am sorrowful for the innocents that are being misled out there. The one thing that is clear that majority of those in these forums think (by way of reading posts only) that everybody that attends a diploma mill or a sub standard unaccredited school do it with malovent purposes..ie to keep an accreditted degreed person from getting a job, or to brag that they are Rev. Dr. That there is no way that they could not know that it was a fraud and a sham and has incorporated in 7 states and counting...lol. Having been out there, and running into them everyday I know that is not true in all cases. Some, sure...many...probable..but all...definatley not. Who speaks for them? I guess I do..and take the flack too.

No, I think several of us here have been duped and do believe many mill students are sincere and innocent. Such have friends here.

Sir, I admire your choice of priorities at this time in your life.
-----------------------------------------
Thanks. It is frowned on by several.

Although I am 38 I am too forgoing health insurance, cable, DISH TV, getting a better running car, car repairs so that I can clear up my past debt and get my RA for my families future. Because now that is one of my priorities, whereas 14 years ago it was not. And unlike some popular wordly opinions as a minister and his/her salary I only make enough to keep the lights on and the roof over my head, so i have to cut things out to make it work. No educational fund for me...that is what they used to run the last one out of town...rofl. | ----------------------------------------------
I suppose if God supports your RA aspirations it will happen. You say God qualifies the called, right? Why do you want RA? Have you looked into some sort of help by the school itself?
