Brainwashing clearly evident. Child abuse. Because it's religion it's OK to brainwash?

Wrong.

I will say cults(atheist parents) are good at that.

WTF is cults(atheist parents) meant to mean?
You want to redefine some words again to suit your narrow-minded world-view?

That's not preaching, that's screaming and repeating.

Any fool, including a five year old, can shout out some trite phrases with no coherence. To write a real sermon, yes, you do indeed need an education. It's a craft as well as a calling; the one without the other just leaves you with some happy-clappy lyrics.

There are numerous incidents of this type of brainwashing on YouTube, it is not edifying nor glorifying to God.

I think I had heard that some of these children end up really burned out.

The Word of God is clear concerning who is qualified to teach and preach. But that's a whole other discussion.

Well we know that a leader should have only one wife. So if he has two he shouldn't be allowed to lead 😉

I had like the idea that he was called to be a pastor without even having to go to school. But he is still going to go. It would be awesome to have a pastor though personally that didn't even need an education and is truly called to being a pastor instead of going to get educated to become a pastor.

I mean who would you rather have as a pastor someone who is truly called and truly hear from God or someone that go to college and only preaches on what he learned and never truly hears from God/Jesus?
