Out of curiosity, do you have a church background? 

I was informed via email that I was prohibited from enrolling due to not being a pastor.

I do actually. I have some work experience in the church, but I am not a pastor. I'm a musician.

I am also through with the PhD - Biblical Studies. It's not easy. It needs concentration and hard work. One needs to research to complete the program.

I've not done anything through the church before, I quit going to church when I was like 15 or something along those lines... Anyways, would joining the church again and be part of the choir or whatever they have work? What are the requirements, I should look that up first...

I recently enrolled in the self paced tuition free PhD in Biblical Studies program. So far, so good. It costs $25 to register, and there is a fee of $250 I think at the end of the program.

Just remember, it is unaccredited. So be careful about putting it on (or deciding to leave it off) a resume.

Yes I’m aware, can’t go wrong with the price. I will definitely be adding to my resume and the letters after my name.

Free in education is always used for monetary cost, but there are other costs that don't directly involve money. One guy at the other forum earned a PhD from an unaccredited school in the U.S. Now, he's earning a PhD from a government-approved foreign school in a similar major. He's also earning a D.Min from an accredited U.S. school. I don't know if he feels this way, but from the outside, it looks like he wasted time and effort on the unaccredited degree because he's earning a redundant PhD.

The problem here isnt just the lack of accreditation, as no doubt there are unaccredited outfits that offer quality education. The issue is that these degrees are essentially diploma mill programs, with insufficient instruction, measurement, or duration. The "PhD" program in particular is a total joke.

So from what I am reading here you really want the degree to put "letters after your name" ? Just curious why what is the goal here ? Trying to score a new job , promotion, or just to boost your credentials?

I’m actually enjoying the content, and if it leads to “letters after my name” then so be it,  Not sure what I’m going to do with the degree yet, probably teach if that’s an option.
