church of christ

As if he couldn’t get any lower (this being the man who has already accused two churches, with no evidence whatsoever, of child pornography).

Tonight on his What Does the Bible Say? show on WGSR, Johnny Robertson – the demented cult leader of the Martinsville Church of Christ – has thus far during the broadcast done nothing to discuss and expound upon his own beliefs.

Instead Robertson has chosen to… attack an eight year old little girl.

What the hell is wrong with this man?...

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 ...

Here are three e-mails from two different senders that landed in my inbox within a few hours of each other earlier this morning.

Here’s the first one. Obviously it’s a Nigerian scam e-mail, like the one about “RANKLE Jones The Golfer ‘Film Production'” (that I’m still laughing about)…

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…...

Say what one might about Bob Lawson, to the very best of my knowledge there was only one person in that “debate” on WGSR this past Tuesday night who has lied boldly and publicly when he accused not one but two churches, with no evidence whatsoever, of what can only be called child pornography.

And Bob Lawson wasn’t that person.

More than a few people have told me that Johnny Robertson is “scum”, “a dirty-minded individual”, “a sick man”, “a complete bastard”, and numerous other epithets that I won’t share here for sake of polity, for making those unfounded accusations against First Christian Church in Kernersville and Osborne Baptist Church in Danville. Interestingly, Robertson hasn’t dared bring those accusations up any more since they have been chronicled by this and other bloggers in the area.

Based on the footage I have seen from Tuesday night’s “debate” and now tonight, Robertson ...

If anyone still harbored doubts about Johnny Robertson – leader of the local cult calling itself the “Church of Christ” – those were erased during last night’s broadcast of What Does the Bible Say? on WGSR Star 47.1 from Reidsville.

During the program, which included pre-recorded footage of Robertson speaking yesterday at his “Martinsville Church of Christ”, Robertson exclaimed that to have the wrong funeral is grounds enough to displease God! Robertson told his followers to make sure that no instrumental music be played during their last rites.

Here’s the transcript of what Johnny Robertson said at “Martinsville Church of Christ” on August 16, 2009 (with bold-faced text indicating spoken emphasis)…

“If you haven’t determined how your funeral is going to go, you need to! Because you have family members who do not agree with what I just quoted from the Bible in Ephesians 5:19 about speaking to yourselves in

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 ...

It started several months ago, when I began cryptically referring to what I called “Evil Incarnate(tm)” on my Facebook updates. It wasn’t long before many friends started asking “Hey Chris, what are you talking about?!” (or words to that effect).

So that’s how it came to be that quite a few people on Facebook are now watching – and laughing at – local cult leader Johnny Robertson. I’d dare say that quite a considerable amount of WGSR’s bandwidth is now being used by people from Florida to New Hampshire to Oregon who are tuning in via streaming video just to giggle at this loon and his cronies. And now we’ve started doing a live “running commentary” over Facebook where we poke holes and point out the lies in Robertson’s mad rantings, along with generally making fun of him and his followers.

So one friend further west pointed out something ...

Many people have told me that on Sunday night’s television broadcast of What Does The Bible Say? on WGSR – or as I call it “The Martinsville Taliban Show” – local cult leader Johnny Robertson of the “Martinsville Church of Christ” claimed that there are now four robust congregations of the “Church of Christ” (which is nothing like the mainstream Churches of Christ) meeting in this area. Those would be his own Martinsville group, one at the old post office on The Boulevard in Eden, the one that has been coming together in Reidsville at the Holiday Inn Express, and a group meeting in Ruffin.

Robertson alleged that the Ruffin “Church of Christ” had been meeting for “over a year” (his words).

Curiously, the July 5th 2009 broadcast of What Does The Bible Say? on WGSR was the very first time that Robertson or anyone else with the “Church of ...

It sure looks that way. I was notified earlier this week about Answering The Church of Christ, a new and rather articulate blog dedicated to taking on Robertson and his local “Church of Christ” cult (which again, has nothing to do with the mainstream Churches of Christ that most people know and respect).

To the best of my knowledge that makes at least four separate blogs – none of which are my own – that have set out to counter Robertson and his gang of ecclesiastical bullies.

(Incidentally, this coming week marks two years since Robertson posted anything new on his own blog.)

And then there’s this YouTube video that was sent to me today, proclaiming Johnny Robertson to be this week’s “Con-Artist for [Another] Jesus”…

I have been told that Robertson and his goons have been harassing quite a number of legitimate churches in the area lately ...
