New Wine School of the Bible: Honorary Doctorate for $350

I came across this advertisement today in a religious publication-- didn't know if anyone was interested:

Honorary Doctoral Degrees awarded in recognition of your ministerial achievements. $50 application fee, $300 upon approval. Free details.

New Wine School of the Bible
904 West Maple Street
Tecumseh, OK 74873

I wonder if their degrees fulfill the entrance requirements of Old Wineskin State.


Cheers,

 

Or Take a Little For Your Ailments Polytechnic?

 

I this a school where we can learn to turn water into new wine?

Don't even think about it, John.

Wetsch Winery just doesn't have good ring to it.

 

New whine?

 

Gnu wine?

Actually, I don't care much for how the metaphor from the Synoptics is here employed by this school. As Jesus was using the preservation of wine in the animal skin containers ,so the rage in that day, analogously to the "old" and "new" covenants, the better application of the particulars of that parable would be : "New WineSKIN School of the Bible."

The motto could be, "We skin you well!"

$350 for a useless doctorate when the Universal Life Church sells useless doctorates for under $50. They throw in free ordination to boot.

You're watching for the bargain eh Dennis? (hee, hee).

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

My curiosity is:

1. What are the criteria for approval.
2. If one is not approved, is one refunded the $50.
3. If approved, can one choose a specific honorary doctorate, e.g., DD in Prison Ministry, etc.
