We received this letter from one of our readers, acknowledging that PhD scams aren't limited to just the hypnosis profession but in other areas as well -including ministry. Here's what this individual wrote regarding Bill Hanshew of Bill Hanshew Ministries:
Hello. I'm glad you have established your site on BlogSpot.
Your site focuses primarily on fake hypnotherapy doctorates, but theological PhDs are pretty common as well.
I'm writing to you about a guy named Bill Hanshew in Rolla, Missouri. His website claims he has a PhD from "Easter Theological Bible College", which turns up no results on Google except for his biography. He never hesitates to refer to himself as 'Dr. Bill' in correspondence or on his written materials. For a while, he published a column in a weekly Rolla newspaper.
He founded a small non denominational church in Rolla, for which he asks for donations on his website. It seems he has now created his own 'university', and through his website you can send him money to "sponsor tuition" for students.
Strangest of all, his biography says he's currently working on a doctorate from some other no-name theological school (why would he need another one?) From what I can tell, he's either a sincere chump or a scammer.
Thanks,
NAME REDACTED

An internet search of "Easter Theological Bible College" shows that Hanshew is their only student and graduate. Further, it appears that he is working on another "doctorate" at a "university" that he and his wife direct, called the Life Christian University - Rolla Campus, which fails to exist. However, the Life Christian University website, where you can buy 1 course and get the 2nd one for half off, states that anybody can start their own campus. How legitimate does that sound? Hanshew might be able to scam his flock, but in the end, he can't scam God.
