In checking in with SEU, about getting a PhD so far the response time has been very slow on the part of Dr John Johnson, academic director SEU.
What I have learned is that:
Mr. Johnson was quick to inform me
"SEU is an American University and as such is not able to award UK qualifications."
Also they cannot admit students from Arkansas, odd considering that is where their "campus" is located.
And the best part so far is their email address you would expect something like jjohnson@SEU.edu. Right?
Oh no they are upscale the email address of the "academic director" is OwlsJKJ@aol.com
I will keep all of you updated in my pursuit of PhD.
Special thanks to Lee Stoneking who turned me on to his alma mater.

Well, when someone makes a special plea or provides a CV with academic credentials, that person is making an argument themselves - and "argument from authority" - they are making a claim that they are an "authority" to some degree on the matter under discussion based upon the degrees and other awards that they hold.
So far, the men whose arguments are under discussion lately have come up short when it comes to the degrees they have touted.
There are many others who have been discussed recently - Talmadge French, DKB and many others. These guys with authentic degrees, however, don't seem to make the sorts of outrageous claims that others with "exaggerated" degree credentials have made.
One exception - in my own observation - has been Arlo M. He does hold a valid and earned doctorate in chemical engineering from an accredited university. He has however made the most outlandish and unreasonable claims with regard to the creation/evolution debate. He peddles claims that most of the Young Earth crowd abandoned decades ago.
All of the rest of the guys making outrageous claims all have exaggerated their credentials.

"Those who are awarded a Doctorate may, at the discretion of the University, be appointed Fellows of the University and Members of their Faculty."

So this is how Dr. Stoneking lists himself as faculty...
When does deliberatly misleading become a lie?

Now why is it that they only peddle their merchandise in America even thought they are located in the UK?
Because it is a violation of UK law for them to sell their bogus diplomas.
The Education Reform Act 1988.
214. Unrecognised degrees. — (1) Any person who, in the course of business, grants, offers to grant or issues any invitation relating to any award—
(a)
which may reasonably be taken to be an award granted or to be granted by a United Kingdom institution; and
(b)
which either—
(i) is described as a degree; or
(ii) purports to confer on its holder the right to the title of bachelor, master or doctor and may reasonably be taken to be a degree;
shall be guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 5 on the standard scale.

ABsolutely right.
Even better, those that have Doctorates or some credential from SOME school, most often are not specific or concentrated in Christian Theology, Exegetical Teaching, Divinity, etc... It's usually either in the broad field of "religion" or "education," etc
PhD in chem engineering? Not sure the scope of this degree or how his degree makes his an expert in the matter. However, any educated man can surely have an opinion about Young Earth, New Earth Creationism, etc.

I looked at the faculty of ABI (LS's undergrad school) the other day. Most had Bachelor's degrees from ABI itself, and in some cases from other institutions as well. I think there were two doctorates: one in entomology and one in chemical engineering. Oh, whattya know: it would appear to be the same doc that Pel mentioned. Dr. Arlo Moehlenpah. He has a BS and an MS in chem eng., as well as a Th.B. in Apostolic Studies from ABI.
Anyway. Just sayin'.

The latest email and my response. why do I feel like I am talking to someone in Nigeria?
The cost SEU charges for a masters is £3500 for 2010-2011. The requirement is either one piece of research of between 30-35000 words or 2 pieces on a related topic of between 15-18000 words each and a short essay (500-800 words) explaining the link between the two pieces. The time limits for submission are not less than 12 months and not more than 18 months from the date of registration.
I have spoken to one of the theology markers who is happy to guide you through a masters. The guidance is in essence provided to assist in the identification of research topics then comments on the progress reports sent in by the student and a provisional response to the work a month before final submission.
If you are still interested in joining the programme please send you address and I will have the enrolment forms sent to you.
kind regards
Dr John Johnson
My response:
Can you email me the forms?
Is it possible for me to have Lee Stoneking as my faculty contact?

There should be a special warning when one signs up for AFF:
"Do not.....we repeat, DO NOT, make any claims that you cannot absolutely and completely validate. If you do, Baron will hunt you and that claim down the the flippin' end of the earth and nail you to the wall."
That should be in the AFF intro.

His audience is going to look at his degree and go, "WOW, not only is he sitting on the right hand of God, but he's educated. This gives even more credibility to his hair claims."

No, it doesn't really. But he sure always seemed legit to me. He was absent-minded enough to qualify! And the way he scrunched up his nose to get his glasses up to he could see through them....classic. And for sure, when topics got to science, he sure sounded like he knew what he was talking about.

Doesn't it bother you that Stoneking was willing to pay for a bogus degree or that he puts himself out there as a PhD and an adjunct and when the "school" hears his name they say who is that? I am not sure who is the bigger fraud.
I am sure this can be easily explained away by the Holy hair sychophants and Stoneking supporters.
Truth be told this is a well-intentioned man who has had results and that is all that matters.
The fraud being perpetrated on Pentecost is amazing ... The analogies to William Branham are fair.

Good work Baron.
Questions I have:
Is any institution that awards a degree considering one's life experience and work then considered a diploma mill?
I have heard more than one person express (certainly not hide) the fact that they received a diploma by an institution who considered their life's work, writing and other scholarly activity, along with their assigned academic achievements.
Is an institution that is not brick and mortar by definition "a fraud"?
Since many denominations have colleges that do not meet the standards of accreditation are they also in this same "fraudulent" category?

It my view there are two categories, unaccredited and diploma mills. Unaccredited schools may have standards that are just as high as the school across town that is. Because there is no oversight you never know what you are going to get and often you can't move on to the next level with the unaccredited degree.
It may be one thing to give a limited amount of credit based on what one knows, but what's the point of paying someone to give you a paper that isn't worth anything and calling it a degree.
I admit I have completely misled the diploma mill in fact my last email is pushing them to sell me the PhD first for the price of the masters and PhD. That is all they are interested in. writing a paper, no matter how long isn't the same as a masters requires input from others who have already mastered the subject, required reading, and all the work involved to get through these classes.

I'm impressed. I am sure you know a ton about animals and treating them, taking care of them, etc. But would you feel comfortable opening a shop and calling yourself a vet? If not would you want them to award you a degree based on your life experience? I could see them saying hey this guy could pass this class without taking it, giving you a test and letting you slide on that part but requiring you to do the rest.

If not would you want them to award you a degree based on your life experience? I could see them saying hey this guy could pass this class without taking it, giving you a test and letting you slide on that part but requiring you to do the rest.

Well, when someone makes a special plea or provides a CV with academic credentials, that person is making an argument themselves - and "argument from authority" - they are making a claim that they are an "authority" to some degree on the matter under discussion based upon the degrees and other awards that they hold.
So far, the men whose arguments are under discussion lately have come up short when it comes to the degrees they have touted.
There are many others who have been discussed recently - Talmadge French, DKB and many others. These guys with authentic degrees, however, don't seem to make the sorts of outrageous claims that others with "exaggerated" degree credentials have made.
One exception - in my own observation - has been Arlo M. He does hold a valid and earned doctorate in chemical engineering from an accredited university. He has however made the most outlandish and unreasonable claims with regard to the creation/evolution debate. He peddles claims that most of the Young Earth crowd abandoned decades ago.
All of the rest of the guys making outrageous claims all have exaggerated their credentials.
He therefore enrolled Charles Darwin at Christ's College, Cambridge in 1827 for a Bachelor of Arts degree as the qualification required before taking a specialised divinity course
Darwin's cv from wiki.
So the heavy duty degree in divinity makes him a better preacher than any of these Pentecostals.:grampa
He also is not a scientist.
Charles Darwin lied in the Voyage of the HMS Beagle writings. He was Not the ships naturalist. You have to be A medical doctor to be the naturalist. He was a medical student dropout.
Darwin was not a scientist. He was a fiction writer. Story teller.
Alberto Gore is puffing himself up as a scientist also.

You are right on Dan. Tadpoles like me shouldn't be yelling at that butterfly (is that a reference to the way he prances across the stage?). I should just ignore all the lies that have been told in the name of Jesus.
I think your response is the only defense they can mount, and I also think your comparison to Branham is dead on, and a bit scary.

No, that would actually be legit. That's an accredited AOG school, that has been there since 1946, with very qualified faculty (some have actually published highly scholarly work). Compare that to the generic version of SEU, Southern Eastern University which is a tent in Arkansas that asks for a check in exchange for a degree. No faculty published on their 9.99/year website,... oh you get the point.

Apparently this thing has a business license in Arkansas (the "charter"). That's not the same thing as approval to operate as a university, but since this thing isn't located in Arkansas, that's probably legal.
Then it registers as a foreign corporation in the UK and cites British legislation (the "Education Reform Act of 1998") stating that use of foreign degrees is legal in the UK.
So this thing dodges Arkansas education regulations because it operates out of the UK, and it thinks that it dodges British education regulations because it has an Arkansas business license.
So effectively, it is nowhere at all.
Pretty neat.
Actually, many British degree mills do this, though until recently Ireland was the preferred locale for the foreign business license.*

In checking in with SEU, about getting a PhD so far the response time has been very slow on the part of Dr John Johnson, academic director SEU.
What I have learned is that:
Mr. Johnson was quick to inform me
"SEU is an American University and as such is not able to award UK qualifications."
Also they cannot admit students from Arkansas, odd considering that is where their "campus" is located.
And the best part so far is their email address you would expect something like jjohnson@SEU.edu. Right?
Oh no they are upscale the email address of the "academic director" is OwlsJKJ@aol.com
I will keep all of you updated in my pursuit of PhD.
Special thanks to Lee Stoneking who turned me on to his alma mater.

I said non supportive things about the teaching of the power of uncut hair.
Please, anyone, answer these questions as I find the notion of "holy magic hair" laughable yet recognizing the value of personal convictions and committed consecrations.
Is he really preaching of power in the uncut hair, or the Holy Ghost power available to the women who practice this consecration (in connection to their faith in God)?
Is it wrong to think that Christians who do live a life of consecration(s) would have closer walk with the Lord? Paul assails vain religious piety, but does he negate the concept of consecrations and convictions?
Would that closer walk with the Lord (birthed out of a life of consecration) not be made manifest in the natural and spiritual circumstances of life-- maybe even if it was only some of the time?
Or are consecrations of no consequence in God's economy?
Are anointed people anointed from doing nothing to deepen their relationship with the Lord?
I know one can do all the standards perfectly and still not be saved, but isn't there anyone else here besides me who know of precious saints, praying men and women who practice some consecrations in connection with their faith? Aren't these people mighty people in God's Kingdom?
Aren't these people closer to the Lord than other saved people who have not developed any or are even lazy in their devotions without any consecration to speak of?
Jermyn Davidson
07-02-2010, 09:37 PM
And Biblically, what makes religious piety vain? The intents behind the practices, right?
Or does Paul assail the very notion of religious piety? If this is the case, then there would be no argument for any standards or convictions at all.

An Exploration of Access Points
Dr. John Johnson and Dr. Lee Stoneking
Abstract
Many system administrators would agree that, had it not been for encrypted epistemologies, the deployment of B-trees might never have occurred. After years of technical research into Boolean logic, we confirm the refinement of Byzantine fault tolerance, which embodies the unfortunate principles of algorithms. In our research we prove that IPv6 and write-ahead logging are mostly incompatible [37].

Secondly, in speaking with the former Chair of SEU’s committee recently in Europe, communication was provided that verified that Mr. Stoneking was awarded an honorary Ph.D., from SEU, prior to the appointment of Mr. Johnson as Director. Mr. Johnson is currently being apprised of the matter by the former Chair of SEU in Europe. Mr. Stoneking has not been in any dialogue or direct communication with the author of such defamatory comments, who call’s themselves Baron.

It's a very encouraging and biblically grounded sermon.
Since I like LS, I am thinking that you guys are taking his stance on HMH out of context.
He does not think or preach about power in the hair. He preaches about the power in the lives of women who practice the consecration of not cutting their hair.
At least, this is what I HOPE he is trying to persuade people of-- the value of a personal consecration in the life of a Christian.
If this is what in fact he is preaching and teaching, then you guys may be mischaracterizing his work and thus, be on very dangerous grounds in putting your mouths on one of God's Anointed.
If this is not what he is preaching, I really hope he can explain himself, biblically.
Going back to the God's Anointed, isn't there any fear in "uncovering the nakedness" of a man that God has clearly used and may indeed be using to spread the Gospel?
If LS is preaching some abominable false doctrine laced in the trappings of pentecostal legalism, then I am against that doctrine 100%
I am also against the man of God's credibility being ripped to shreds here-- without fear.
I wish he would come on here himself and attempt to defend the message that God has given him.

Well, I finally got another reply from SEU. Let me recap:
1. On 6/30, I sent this to their contact email: "Is there a directory of your faculty? I couldn't find one on your web site."
2. The next day, I got this response:
Sorry you have not given your name
Could you indicate what area and level of study you are interested in also your current qualification in order for me to assist you.
3. I replied the same day with my name and said "It's just curiosity. I won't be applying for admission."
4. After waiting for a reply for a few days, I sent a reminder on 7/3: "Could I see a list of your faculty, please?"
5. Got a reply to that, this morning. Are you ready? Are you sitting down? Put down the coffee. NOW, you better strap yourself to your chair. OK, here it is (don't say I didn't warn you):
I am sorry but your request does not make sense what do you want, if your next e-mail is as lacking in information it will be ignored
Dr John Johnson
. . .
6. My response to the above:
Does your university have professors, instructors, lecturers, etc.? If so, I would like to see a list of their names. Thank you
Tim
7. His response:
Tim
Your request is very strange as you have indicated that you do not wish to be a student of SEU. I am not prepared to divulge personal information on those who work with SEU but am prepared to indicate that most of the staff are part time, all have British qualifications in the areas they support and mark in and most hold or have held full time posts in the British education system. If you will indicate who you are and why you want the information I will reconsider.

He does not think or preach about power in the hair. He preaches about the power in the lives of women who practice the consecration of not cutting their hair.
If he was only preaching power in consecration, there would be no need to focus so much on hair. He is unnecessarily and unnaturally focused on hair. There are many ways to consecrate yourself to God.

I hear and respect your pleas here, Jermyn. And it gives me pause for a moment to consider what is being said.
However, the OT concept of "touching the anointed" gets stretched way out of context by those who wish to ram-rod their way through the gullible who are willing to shell out big bucks to "feel good".
There is a big difference between those who have failed, come short, erred in some way, or handled something poorly, and those who are intentionally and deceitfully misrepresenting the truth in order to appear to be someone they're not.
Paul was RUTHLESS in pointing those out. He named them. He charged them. Why? Because he cared with all his heart for the most precious thing on earth....The Church.
True...Baron and DA aren't Paul. But they're clearly, in my opinion, doing something that Paul would never hesitate to do.
There are mean spirited people who just seek to destroy. I can VERY confidently say that none of those digging up facts here fall into that category.

Jermyn, I understand what you're saying. Generally speaking, I agree. This thread really isn't about LS's teachings. It's about the advertisement of a possibly illegitimate degree on the biography page of his website.
I don't personally want to be in the position of disrespecting any child of God. If that's how my comments have come across to you, then I apologize. However, there are legitimate questions here that should be answered, and when they aren't answered directly, or the answer is only to further obfuscate, it makes it look like the negative assumptions are pretty much true.
I just don't understand how a bogus "college" could issue honorary degrees at all (and what would be their motivation to do so if they're just about issuing paper in exchange for funds?). How on earth they would come up with Lee Stoneking's name in the mix in the first place? Either way, let's assume it's TRUE that he received an honorary (and free) degree from SEU. Since it's a bogus university, he shouldn't want to be associated with them, let alone be their "Adjunct Professor."

Then someone of AUTHORITY within our fellowship (or maybe even outside of our fellowship) needs to help him see the error of his ways. Making sport of him is not the way to do it.
If he was only preaching power in consecration, there would be no need to focus so much on hair. He is unnecessarily and unnaturally focused on hair. There are many ways to consecrate yourself to God.
I agree that there are many ways to consecrate ourselves. Still, the uncut hair is a way for Christian women to consecrate themselves.
Is he presenting this as heaven or hell?
Is presenting this as a "sure-fire" way to ensure the blessings of God in every natural circumstance?
Are his presentations a springboard for other spiritual abuses that seem to permeate some of the churches of our fellowship?
Even if the answer was, "YES" to each and everyone of the questions above, this thread is NOT the way to handle him and his false doctrine.
If the answer is YES to my above questions, WE HAVE AN ISSUE OF LEADERSHIP FAILURE WITHIN OUR FELLOWSHIP which needs to be addressed ASAP for sake of the souls that this organanization ministers to.
HEY UPCI LEADERSHIP GUYS!!!! ARE YOU READING THIS???? WHY DON'T YOU GUYS DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS-- IF INDEED HE IS OUT OF ORDER!!!!
No man of God's credibility should be publicly ripped to shreds.

.
Daniel Segraves already addressed this teaching. The rest of the UPC leadership doesn't seem to care. They even had a picture of a woman on their website, letting her hair down with a capture about this sister summoning angels.
As far as LS's teaching, as part of his many messages he has women laying their hair on people needing healing. He has someone reminding God that HE owes her because she did not cut her hair..that's not about "consecration" that is about the hair. There are no testimonies about a woman reminding God she has not committed adultery.
The bible says we lay hands, not hair. No where in the bible are miracles like this connected with religious obedience or obedience to religious rules. We are told we need faith. We are told we need to pray. LS says, we need more women with uncut hair. He even teaches a woman that cuts her hair puts her husband and kids in jeopardy...they lose angelic protection
That is false doctrine

Either way, let's assume it's TRUE that he received an honorary (and free) degree from SEU. Since it's a bogus university, he shouldn't want to be associated with them, let alone be their "Adjunct Professor."
Maybe it's bogus, maybe it's not.
He wouldn't be the subject of such scrutiny if he wasn't preaching what he preaches in the first place.
Again, this is the wrong way to handle it.
I'm not offended enough to suggest the closing of the thread.
I want the opposite done.
I WANT HIS LEADERSHIP, SOMEONE THAT HE IS ACCOUNTABLE TO, TO PULL HIM TO THE SIDE AND HELP HIM-- JUST LIKE THE BIBLE SAYS IT SHOULD HAPPEN.
I could be wrong, but I am willing to bet that NO ONE on this thread has attempted to help this man of God out of error-- if he is in error.
That's the point of all of this-- he's a "fake", a "charlatan" and look! Here's the proof!
LS himself may be deceived, however Saul was more than deceived. He became wicked! Still, David did not do to Saul what has been done to LS on this thread.
Maybe LS needs to be helped out of error or dealt with accordingly.
This is the wrong way to do it.
Which, by the way UPCI LEADERSHIP-- this would have never happened if you had not failed LS in exercising leadership over him in the first place-- if he is out of order.
If he is not, make it clear that he is not.
If he is, do what the Bible says do and help him.
It would seem "Dr" Wilson has a vested interest in protecting the integrity of those two schools
And having attended Kent College perhaps where he met Lee, who lists he was a contributing adjunct there at one time.

The so called University seems to be a diploma mill. My question is, why would anyone even bother to claim it? I mean why include that in a bio or a resume? Or why pay for a PHd other than to try to look good to those that don't realize what a diploma mill is?
Also...why change it now that someone has pointed out it's a diploma mill?

His name is Lee Stoneking.
Doesn't anyone on AFF have any "direct" connections to somebody, anybody in St. Louis? Someone who, after reading all of this will see the importance of addressing him, his diploma-mill degrees and his potentially false doctrine?
As long as he is endorsed by the UPCI, everyone who carries that name is guilty of his misdeeds.
Sure this is guilt by association-- but the world, you know those folks we are supposed to be unspotted to, the world will declare the UPCI guilty.
Then, who will reach them?
Convince someone in St. Louis that the Gospel is bigger than one man and our mission for reaching souls is FAR TOO IMPORTANT for one man to use the UPCI platform as a means to spreading false doctrine-- if that is what he is doing.
If he is indeed operating with the blessings of the UPCI, then let the UPCI make it clear.

The confrontation should not be handled with maliciousness, neither in a way to appear to be making sport of them.

Jermyn, I understand. Really, I do. However, there is a BIG difference between being "sincerely wrong" about a doctrine and being deliberately dishonest about one's education.
Baron's investigation has been primarily into the legitimacy of Southern Eastern University, and in my opinion, it should continue. If they're bogus, then EVERYONE needs to know because apparently there are multiple ministers claiming degrees from that source. If you look at Art Wilson's page, he and his wife both claim degrees from Southern Eastern University. If the school is bogus, then all the degrees it has issued are bogus as well.
If they've all been duped into thinking they have legitimate degrees, then they need to know and need to take action against SEU. If they, however, are aware that it's a fraud and are deliberately showing off fraudulent credentials--THAT is a problem. That's deception and puffery, plain and simple.
And, I've never one time stated that I didn't like Lee Stoneking. One of the best Sunday School seminars I've ever been to was one in Missouri years ago where LS was the main speaker. I've always enjoyed his approach to exuberant worship, and his rather eccentric personality. I DO think he (and Ruth Reider) are way off base on their hair teachings, and I DO think he practices sloppy exegesis on a regular basis (and the latter isn't unique to LS). I'm disappointed in the UPCI leadership for not nipping it in the bud. I'm actually confused by it. Bro. Steve Epley is way more conservative than your average UPCer, and he had no problem stating that he disagreed with the teaching.
When you have people from all walks and flavors of Pentecost questioning a teaching, it lends quite a bit of credibility to the question. Women who want to cut their hair are most certainly not the only or the most vocal dissenters in this case.

Jermyn, I think you're overreacting. Baron has been documenting his investigation into Southern Eastern University. Anyone who claims a degree from that University will be affected negatively, if his suspicions turn out to be correct.
If his suspicions ARE confirmed, then I agree with you--it should be reported directly to UPCI leadership in the form of a formal complaint.
