I went to Bible college against my Pastor's advice, [he thought I should stay home and marry a home boy]...I wasn't even thinking about the marriage bit..I was far too young.

I don't regret going to Bible College, but then I sacrificed and paid my own way. I worked three jobs to get my way through JCM. But, 6 months after my divorce from a preacher I found myself trying to get a job and all the 15 years of ministry could not provide for my children and myself.

Those most successful in JCM came having already gone to college, had a profession, and worked comfortably through JCM and were able to go into ministry without being poverty stricken.


You know I love you and have no problem with you disagreeing with me...everyone has to choose for themselves what is best.

Love & Blessings, Rhoni

P.S. I have never thought you were an idiot...I have limited the use of that word to a couple conservative men! j/k

I totally disagree.

Right. And just what does" most succesful" mean? Who is going to define that? I did not consider anyone at JCM successful. That came years later. I know a vast majority that have gone on to very successful ministries that did not have a secular degree or a church pedigree.

I do not know where TBC stands now on teaching the gifts of the spirit. I was told during Ensey's years that it was taught against. That it isn't for today. I also was told that a teacher there did not allow the gifts to be used in his church for the same reason.

IF that were the case I personally wouldn't endorse that school. I am not sure how you could find out where the school/teachers stand on that issue.
