Why is Johnny Robertson dressed like Batman tonight?

(Some have written to me asking if that’s a bulletproof vest that Robertson is wearing on his show this evening. Hey, that might be. I’ve certainly never seen a getup like that worn on live TV before…)

Secondly, does anyone seriously trust any statistics that Robertson and his bunch produce as “evidence”? These people have lied about everything conceivable. Robertson could claim that he’s hired Gallup to run a poll, and he still couldn’t be believed.

And at the moment Robertson is running that clip that I posted on YouTube a little over a year ago.

It’s not just my opinion: Robertson’s broadcasts are descending into madness. And that’s not the local view either: as far away as Pepperdine University (a Church of Christ-affiliated college, interestingly enough) in California, Johnny Robertson and his cult are being derided and condemned as ...

This has to be one of the most ridiculous broadcasts I’ve ever seen coming out of Johnny Robertson and the “Church of Christ in Name Only”. And that’s sayin’ something…

He started at 10 p.m. tonight on the program out of WGSR’s Martinsville studio, ranting about Bob Lawson (several e-mails came in today saying that Lawson pitched my blog during Charles Roark’s The Local Buzz earlier this afternoon and that neither Roark or Robertson like that at all).

After that, Robertson commenced to launching an on-air crusade against, for some reason or another, a steakhouse.

And now several times in the past few minutes Robertson has insinuated that this might be the end of him on WGSR. It was like watching Oral Roberts back in 1987, when Roberts told his viewers to send him millions of dollars or else “the Lord will call me home”. Tonight Robertson announced several...

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 ...
