When four people write in over the course of a month, asking the same question, maybe that’s a signal to address something.

Let’s set the Wayback Machine(tm) all the way to fifteen or so years ago.  I used to work at WGSR, a television station in Reidsville, North Carolina.  That was where my school board campaign – and those wacky campaign commercials – began in 2006.  I did a few things at WGSR: master control operator mostly, but also prepping the studio for broadcasts, changing the tapes (including many Betamax cassettes) of the programs for their broadcast.  It was a job that lasted a little less than a year but I learned a lot about the broadcast industry while I was there.

During my time at the station and afterward, I began taking notice of a religious program that aired live twice a week.  It was by a group of ...

It is by faith alone that we please God. It’s just the conceited bastitches among mankind who keep insisting that we must please them with our works.

(Can’t think of a better way to preface this post than with that thought from earlier this week.)

Yes folks, it’s time to once again chronicle for posterity – in addition to laughing at – what is called on this blog and others the “Church Of Christ In Name Only” (COCINO) and the minions of Johnny Robertson.

A few nights ago numerous e-mails came in saying that I should check out what local cult leader Johnny Robertson – prime evil of the self-professed “Church of Christ” wacko fringe group – had brought in: some guy from the cult’s breeding ground in Texas, not just for the group’s annual “tent meeting” in this area but also, apparently, for the express purpose of “taking on ...

“Code Name Rodent” textified from the courthouse in Danville that Micah Robertson – son of local cult leader Johnny Robertson – has been found guilty of trespassing at Westover Baptist Church. Robertson won’t get jail time (he could have gotten up to a year in the slammer) but he’s been hit with a $100 fine.

More importantly, Micah Noel Robertson now has a criminal record. One directly stemming from his activities of harassment and intimidation as a member of the cult calling itself “Church of Christ” headed by his father, Johnny Robertson.

To the best of my knowledge, this is the first such legal mark against the cult. Will Johnny Robertson and his followers pay heed to it? Probably not.

More soon…

EDIT 4:48 p.m. EST: To all the members of the press who are finding this blog this afternoon.

Please be advised that Johnny Robertson, the father of ...

First things first: Earlier this week somebody suggested that we should begin referring to local cult leader Johnny Robertson as “He Who Stalks Behind the Pews”.

It was too good an idea not to go into Photoshop with it…

(click to drastically embiggen)

Heh-heh. Haven’t done one of those in awhile 😛

Speaking of video cameras, a number of people have informed me that during his four hours of “Religious Review” this past week that Johnny Robertson put the word out to all(?) of his viewers that he wants them to begin covertly video recording all the churches in this area with video cameras, cellphones, iPhones etc. and to send the footage to him.

Between his obsession with Martinsville-based television station BTW, his constant scheming to destroy Baptists and Pentecostals and Methodists (especially Baptists), his harassing innocent people in their own homes and churches and store parking lots, his monitoring ...

This blog hasn’t had much to report on local cult leader/pathological liar/convicted felon/public menace Johnny Robertson lately. Been almost a month since I posted anything new.

This next item though is sufficiently wacky enough that it screams to be talked about.

Some people have been writing to let me know that Johnny Robertson and all of his followers (those being James Oldfield, Micah Robertson “The Lesser” and Mark McMinnis) have been conspicuously absent from the airwaves of local television station WGSR in recent weeks. Instead What Does the Bible Say? and A Word from the Lord (AKA “The Martinsville Taliban Show” and “A Word from James Oldfield”) have been in reruns, one of which was Oldfield’s two-hour spiel about why it’s a sin to place money in the Salvation Army kettles. That particular screed prompted one person known to this writer to make a fifty dollar contribution to the Salvation ...

I must confess: it’s entered my mind that the more local cult leader Johnny Robertson harasses others and tries to destroy lives and congregations, the more opportunity he’s providing for others to seriously present what the Bible really says about Christ and salvation because of His grace.

There was much to observe from last night’s What Does the Bible Say? on WGSR. For openers, Robertson validated something that I noted about him last week: that he not only insists upon baptism for the wrong reasons and damns those who don’t subscribe to his belief, but that Robertson also think he controls baptism! It came when a woman called and asked to be baptized and Robertson expressed great hesitancy about it because Robertson suggested that the woman didn’t “understand” why she wanted baptism. He claimed to take her phone number so that he could call her later, so that she ...

Hasn’t been much to report about local cult leader Johnny Robertson lately. In recent weeks he’s been obsessed with attacking BTW, a competitor television station to WGSR in the Martinsville, Virginia market. Among other things Robertson has been blasting them for promoting shag dancing and “R-rated movies”.

(I for one would like to know where in the Bible does Robertson find a proscription against R-rated movies. ‘Tis a silly thing to fixate upon and it only demonstrates that Robertson is completely ignorant of the movie rating system to begin with, and why it was first implemented.)

Anyhoo, a few things about Robertson and his cult have crossed my virtual desk that I’ve been following up on. Nothing I can tip my hand to at the moment though. However, tonight I did receive the following observation in an e-mail. It’s a very brilliant point, and one that I had not considered ...

Odd things are afoot regarding local cult leader Johnny Robertson and the “Church of Christ in Name Only”.

Numerous e-mails came in Tuesday evening about that day’s edition of The Local Buzz on WGSR. The entire last half-hour of the show consisted of honked-off viewers calling out general manager Charles Roark on his blatant pro-Robertson bias. And one Internet forum devoted to Henry County, Virginia issues – which Johnny Robertson had publicly boasted of being “the number one topic of discussion” – has in recent days become loaded with anti-Robertson animosity. Some of which is coming from people claiming to be former members of the cult.

Without knowing anything else about what’s going down across the state line, it certainly does seem as though the people of Martinsville and Henry County, for whatever reason, are on the warpath like never before against the “Church of Christ” cult.

But here’s ...

Look folks: honestly, that isn’t MY blog at all! And I have no idea whatsoever who it might be who created it. Heck, lately I haven’t had much time to devote to this one, much less start and maintain a new one. Especially one as slick and polished and inspired as what I’m about to show you.

But that doesn’t mean that I’m not flat-out stunned at whoever it is out there who has assumed the guise of V and decided to take on Johnny Robertson…

Vendetta For Johnny Robertson popped up out of nowhere this morning and a reader passed it along to me. Yes folks, V – the masked protagonist from V for Vendetta – has arrived on the streets of Martinsville, Danville and Reidsville to take on the cult leader/convicted felon who has been trying to “defeat destroy” in the name of God everyone he hates…...

I haven’t felt led to comment much lately about the ongoing activities of local cult leader Johnny Robertson and his personal “Church of Christ” sect (which, I need to reiterate, is nothing like the real Churches of Christ that most people have respect for). For one thing, some have passed along the observation that Robertson and his followers seem to have slacked-off on their harassing of innocent people. Maybe the cultists are finally starting to straighten up and behave themselves.

I will note that a number of people have informed me that Robertson apparently made some allusion to me during his What Does the Bible Say? broadcast – or as I call it “The Martinsville Taliban Show” – last Thursday night. Something about how I was waiting to shoot him in the street. Which is a lie and patent nonsense. I will however open fire if he ever shows up ...
