Age? Looks like early 30s to me.

BTW, he has been removed from MySpace completely now. His band remains for the time being.

My vote is Donnie is a hoax. The tip off that this is a hoax is this quote found on every page of Love God’s Way:

“Suffering is one very long moment. We cannot divide it by seasons. We can only record its moods, and chronicle their return. With us time itself does not progress. It revolves. It seems to circle round one centre of pain.”

–Oscar Wilde (reformed homosexual)

Oscar Wilde, as any good biography records never publicly recanted his homosexuality.

The next tip off is the registration information for lovegodsway.org. http://www.networksolutions.com/whois/results.jsp?whoistoken=2

There is no valid reason for any ministry located in Houston, Texas to register their Internet site through Domains by Proxy with a Scottsdale, Arizona mailing address unless they are not a valid ministry and have something to hide. Coincidentally (or perhaps not) the registered owner of donniedavies.com is Domains by Proxy. The third tip off is Donnie’s email address, which is a free Google throw away gmail account.

Donnie (if that is his real name) has taken extreme measures to hide his identity as well as his physical location.

I checked the TX driver’s license database and there is no D Davies that lives anywhere near Houston born after 1960. My vote is hoax.

It is of course an elaborate gag that highlights the sorry state of the Christian church if you ask me because LOTS of people think it’s for real. I too have chatted to ‘Donnie’ who only gives interviews as Donnie, rather like Borat only gives interviews as Borat.

It’s amazing to watch google hits multiplying in real time and all… Here’s yet another blogger’s take: http://www.beforeiforget.co.uk/2007/god-hates-a-fag/

I am spending way too much time following this thing. It is either stunningly hateful or stunningly well done. And one indicator is how many people are throwing up their hands and saying, I dunno!

One thing today that made me think it might be a hoax is the fact that I cannot find any history of the band The Evening Service. Their website says they have been together in the Houston area for a long time and they do not show up on the Internet anywhere that I can find. Indie bands tend to promote on the net and I see nothing from them.

Point for the parody theory.
