I had to do that to get out of seminary, at least I have a paper that tells everyone that is the case. Maybe you should write the Dean at Milligan and tell him I am masquerading as a graduate of his school? Of course that would be slander.
Milligan college is not a Bible seminary; Milligan is primarily a 4 year Christian liberal arts college with a few graduate programs (MBA and a MEd but no theology graduate degrees). There is a seminary across the street called Emmanual School of Religion which is loosely associated w/ Milligan but is not financially or academically tied to it. Besides you specifically stated writing the Dean of Milligan College NOT Emmanual School of Religion. That is not an oversight, that is an outright lie.
I am skeptical you went to either school.
You see. I did attend Milligan in 1992 (and my father attended Emmanual). So which year did you suposedly attend and what degree did you get? And yes I know your name since it is plastered all over other forums on the internet, but I will not disclose it here.
BTW, I do have access through Milligan to contact previous alumni.
OR would you like to retract your statement?
BTW it would be libel (written) not slander (verbal) as shown here:
Media Law Resource Center writes:
In order for the person about whom a statement is made to recover for libel, the false statement must be defamatory, meaning that it actually harms the reputation of the other person, as opposed to being merely insulting or offensive.
The statement(s) alleged to be defamatory must also have been published to at least one other person (other than the subject of the statement) and must be "of and concerning" the plaintiff. That is, those hearing or reading the statement must identify it specifically with the plaintiff.
The statement(s) alleged to be defamatory must also be a false statement of fact. That which is name-calling, hyperbole, or, however characterized, cannot be proven true or false, cannot be the subject of a libel or slander claim.
The defamatory statement must also have been made with fault. The extent of the fault depends primarily on the status of the plaintiff. Public figures, such as government officials, celebrities, well-known individuals, and people involved in specific public controversies, are required to prove actual malice, a legal term which means the defendant knew his statement was false or recklessly disregarded the truth or falsity of his statement. In most jurisdictions, private individuals must show only that the defendant was negligent: that he failed to act with due care in the situation.
A defamation claim -- at least one based upon statements about issues that are matters of public interest -- will likely fail if any of these elements are not met.
Can you prove that my suspicion of your credibility constitutes libel? If not than stick it.

Well I can add fraud to the long list of insults that have been heaped upon me in a comical attempt to discredit my education and life experience...
So I take that as a: Yes, I lied about attending Milligan College and earning a Graduate Degree in Theology from there.
Why do I keep bringing this up? Because I detest dishonest people who have to lie even about there own credentials in order for them to try to persuade people to there cause and propagate there message. Why should we care? Because if you lie about yourself why should we trust anything else you say here and further deceive unsuspecting posters.
And why bring up the Nazi's and the KKK???? Your martyr complex is pitiful and typical of people, religious or not (we have called out both on this forum) who have something to hide.
Your attempt to shift the focus off of your dishonesty and onto anyone who is calling you out is weak. Am I beating down your door and dragging you into the street with a Lugar? You have no freaking clue what the Jews and other people that the Nazi's called 'misfits' had to go through during the Holocaust. You come no where close to the beatings, rapes, torture and brutal massacring they had to go through. So stop with your martyr complex and just own up to being wrong and lying about it!
I know I have probably raised the ire of the moderators for taking this thread off-track but there is a point where we have to say enough is enough and not allow purposeful deception to continue unchecked.
I am not calling on you being banned here. And I never have. That is not my job anyways. Rather I further encourage you to post here, as I have, to learn from others and stop being so hypocritical and dogmatic.
In this respect I am asking that the moderators possibly transfer this to another thread to discuss. I think this would be a wonderful topic to discuss. However, my suspicions are that RCH will perceive this as an attempt to further discredit him. That is not my attempt. I hope you will use this as a learning experience (for me as well) to explore the limits of your knowledge and broaden them. Believe me I too have had to eat a lot of humble pie here as well as elsewhere in my life adventure.
RCH writes:
As I said in the other thread (staking is in your job description as well?) I will match my educational and life achievements with anyone here and found no takers. Here its the same story. So if anyone is a fraud its well the bulk of the membership here. So please most of the members here are not my peers, but rather my students.
And you wonder why we are rolling our eyes at you?

What are your educational and life achievements Rev?
I would quote his list of "missions" from other forums but I do not want to further propogate his cause. However if you do an search on google using the email address found on his profile it is not that hard to figure out what he is doing i.e trying to get internet real estate and popularity to further his religious racketeer.
Brian writes:
I am only aware of you having a M.A. in Christian Theology, I take it you have other qualifications?
Neither Milligan College (which is where he claimed to get his degree) or Emmanual School of Religion across the street, provides a MA in Theology degree.
Brian writes:
Finally, you said you have your own church, are you the resident minister there and, if so, did you need other qualifications to attain your current position?
This is what the good rev says about his church:
RCH writes:
I am a open theist Christian with Gnostic and Apocalyptic leanings (just to name a couple). The church that I founded and own is named The 'XXXXXXX' or 'XXXXXXX' to shorten it up a bit. We boast a small but growing membership which is remarkable given that the church was only meant to provide a sponsor for my missions a spiritual mission (the 'XXXXXXX' and the 'XXXXXXX'. Although we have a building, I don’t publicly preach (yet) but do send out the IRS required newsletter at least twice a year. Just a brief background as I feel its important to know the background and possibly the intent of the author.

Hey, I am an open theist Christian (Google Christian open theism)! I go to a biker church, and am a spiritual warrior for my beliefs. Sort of an archangel. I own a humanitarian mission (xxx, (xxx) and a paper tiger church. xxx Church (xxxx). I get the wrath from the fundamental Christians (think main stream Christians) AND the hard core atheists, AND everyone in between.

If you want to donate to my church or either of my missions one being a humantirian mission that helps the needy with basic humanitarian needs ( I and my mission xxx partnered with second xxx). The other mission called the xxx, is dedicated to fighting the spirtural war, which includes assisting the ID movement to get a toe hold in our educational system.
The above highlight is a real gem which discloses the religious fundamental movement's real purpose behind the ID movement.
Almost every post on the internet where I see his name (in several dozen different forums) he mentions the above even when it makes no connection with the topic at hand. It is pure religious SPAM and free advertising and donations for his supposed religious "ministries".
BTW, RCH IF you do honestly run a soup kitchen or the like I applaud you and in no way discourage this type of humanitarian activity. However, that does not give you the right to propogate dishonest credentials and the like to further your religious cause.

It appears that the good rev is not only very poor at theology and science, he is actually a very poor liar as well!
I'm sure the rev will con a little hard earned cash out of some gullible souls.
I actually just got access to the Milligan College alumni database this morning and confirmed my suspician that the good 'Reverand Cross Hugger' never attended the school.
LOL, I just noticed the # of posts I have under my belt to the left. I am sure all the Christians will take notice!

RCH writes:
I do not post my real name when I register at these forums precisely because of stalkers like you
Did I ever reveal your real name or even your pseudname you claim to use? No.
All I did is call you out on your claim that you attended a college that I myself happened to have attended.
RCH writes:
I would be happy to send my transcripts to anyone that sends me theirs with a sase AND sign a legal document (of protection) that will be enclosed.
How would I send you anything if you do not disclose your real name/address? Besides you would be nuts to think that I would disclose any information about myself to a complete stranger on the internet.
RCH writes:
Unethical rats abound on the net you know, and I don't trust anyone especially you.
Ditto.
RCH writes:
Furthermore I doubt if you even obtained a copy of anything and I will be calling the Dean of the college to tell of your activities.
And what are you going to tell the dean? That someone who's name you do not know challenged you online about your credentials to the college? Good luck. Have fun with that.
RCH writes:
If you aren't telling a lie (which I am pretty sure you are) I will be entering into a action against the school as well.
What action? On what grounds?
RCH writes:
Slander is a criminal offense eh?
Again slander is an oral statement, you mean libel. Like lunx2no stated slander/libel is a civil offense not a criminal one. The only thing you can try to do is sue me. But then you would have to prove in a court of law that what I said (calling into question your credentials and claim to attending a college) was untruthful and caused injury.
Good luck.
