I’m going to begin calling Johnny Robertson and his “Church of Christ” cult out for what they really are: domestic terrorists.

They just haven’t killed anybody (yet). However in the name of “God” Robertson and his followers have and continue to conspire to deprive others of their right to religion, to peaceable assembly and to free speech.

So are Johnny Robertson, James Oldfield, Mark McMinnis, Micah Robertson and the rest of their ilk enemies of the Constitution of the United States? Yup. And I suppose that means others might also be considered willing collaborators, regardless of whether they are “true believers”. Make of that what you may.

What precipitates this latest report about the goings-on of the Martinsville Taliban? A few things. The previous post seems to have had some effect, because several people noted that Mark McMinnis was struggling to subdue his silly grin during his broadcast this ...

This post will dovetail nicely with the update from earlier today about cult leader Johnny Robertson and his “Religious Review Multimedia”. Which after tonight I have to ask aloud: has anybody heard Robertson or Oldfield mention this ever before the last two months? Because I’ve been keeping my eye on the “Church of Christ in Name Only” cult for a few years now, but “Religious Review” didn’t enter into Robertson’s public vernacular until November 2008. And from hearing him use it now, you’d think that it was always a part of his operation.

In comic book terminology, that is what is called a “retcon”. Who’da thought that we’d see it play out in real life (apart from pro wrestling)?

Tonight two friends were over at the Knight Casa. Let’s call them Friend #1 and Friend #2. One of them had read the post earlier today and just before ...

(With kindest regards to Bill Maher for coming up with such a great new word that I couldn’t help but apply it to another bunch of loonies that he would probably laugh at as well…)

In late November this blog reported on local cult leader Johnny Robertson – of what I call “the Church of Christ in Name Only” – employing the services of what he referred to on his live TV show as “Religious Review Multimedia Group”, and Robertson heavily implied that whoever “Religious Review Multimedia Group” was, that they were an independent outfit covering matters of faith.

Except the whole thing was something Robertson made up. And in the footage that he aired, that’s his own teenage son who’s now following in his old man’s footsteps with the hidden cameras and “in yo face” confrontations.

“Religious Review Multimedia Group” was, as is so often with Johnny Robertson and ...

In the past week I’ve received three e-mails directing my attention to Religious Review, a newly established blog. And it’s been asked if I’m the person behind it.

I am not. And I didn’t even know about Religious Review until the last several days. But I certainly have to applaud whoever it is who set it up.

As was reported on this blog last month, “Religious Review” is the name of the bogus outfit that local cult leader Johnny Robertson came up with in his continuing bid to harass and intimidate the legitimate churches in this area. He and crony/second cousin James Oldfield have already been known to confront innocent individuals with hidden cameras and such. Now Robertson has recruited his own son to go out in the name of “Religious Review” and do the same.

So what sayeth the real Religious Review?
