Donny Reagan is the pastor of the Happy Valley Church of Jesus Christ located at  2733 Elizabethton Highway in Johnson City, Tennessee.  It is also one of the largest message churches in North America.  Donny Reagan is known for his "screaming" style of preaching which brings to mind a story told of Winston Churchill.  As the story goes, there was a section in the manuscript of one of his speeches which was underlined in red and in the margin he had written '''“Weak point. Speak louder.”'''   
Donny Reagan is the pastor of Word of Life Church (formerly Happy Valley Church of Jesus Christ) in Johnson City, Tennessee.  It is also one of the largest message churches in North America.  Donny Reagan is known for his "screaming" style of preaching which brings to mind a story told of Winston Churchill.  As the story goes, there was a section in the manuscript of one of his speeches which was underlined in red and in the margin he had written '''“Weak point. Speak louder.”'''   


And while Donny Reagan screams about sin, it is interesting that he has failed to speak out about sin within the ranks of the message.  He was scheduled to speak at a camp meeting in August 2013, sponsored by Cloverdale Bibleway, when he found out that the pastor had been accused of covering up the sexual abuse of a minor.  Rather than deal with the issue, he cancelled his trip and has remained silent on the issue.  While incessantly screaming of the terrible sins of the Roman Catholic church, he refuses to speak up about the sins within the ministers of the message.

=Donny Reagan's defense of the Message=


In response to ministers and other message followers abandoning the message, Donny Reagan screams that he knows people are leaving but he and his church will never abandon the message. 


That's a reasonable point IF there is a clear rationale.  We simply ask - '''"What is Donny Reagan's reasoning for staying in the message when confronted with the many problems with the message?"'''
The simple answer?  He has no valid reasons for staying.  He just screams that he won't abandon it.  (weak point, speak louder)
==Which Jesus does Donny Reagan follow?==
Donny Reagan declares that those that are leaving want the nice Jesus of the Gospels but not the Jesus of the rest of the New Testament.
But that is complete nonsense and he has nothing to base his claim on.  We stand for the whole Word of God.
He wants Jesus PLUS William Branham.  But Jesus + Nothing = Everything.  He simply cannot accept that.  He has to add something to the Bible.
In fact, he exalts the message of William Branham above the Bible.
==Has Donny Reagan responded to the issues we have raised?==
Donny Reagan states that he has considered leaving the message.  But we do not believe he has every clearly examined [[List of Issues with the Message|the issues we have raised]].
How can we say that?
Because he has never addressed a single one in any kind of public forum.
