Ten years ago this summer I packed up my car with the bare essentials and my dog Tammy and I left our hometown of Reidsville, North Carolina.  I didn’t know where we were going.  We were headed toward literally only God knew where.

We spent the better part of an entire year crossing America, looking for a new place to call home.  When we got to California I decided that we had gone as far from our old home as we could, so I spent a few months looking for work there.  That didn’t happen.

I didn’t want to go back to Reidsville a failure, but that’s pretty much what happened.  And I was there for a couple of months while I tried to figure out what my next course of action should be. That didn’t go so well.  Concerned friends came up with a plan: to let Tammy and ...

Maybe I’m about to say too much, with this post.  But a few of you have asked me about recent events and my take on them.  And this does pertain to some people who I had blogged about much (though it’s been awhile, like fifteen years or so).

I feel obligated, for sake of completion, to weigh in on the matter.  So here it goes…

As reported a few days ago, Johnny Robertson of the Martinsville Church of Christ died a week ago.  The funeral service was held this past weekend.  Robertson was cremated, which may or may not be germane to the conversation.

The manner of Robertson’s death has become a topic of considerable discussion in the Martinsville, Virginia and Reidsville, North Carolina area.  I am aware of what the medical examination determined.  By now many people have correctly surmised how Johnny Robertson came to pass away.  Regardless ...

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 ...

Many egotisticial nutcases in history have had pastimes. Fidel Castro almost made it as a professional baseball player. Charles Manson wrote songs. Even Hitler painted roses.

And apprently local cult leader Johnny Robertson of the Martinsville Church of Christ (part of what many are now calling “Sons of Hell” and “Stalkers for Jesus”) is not exempt.

Here’s the original photo that was sent in by “Code Name Exelsior”…

This photo was taken inside Martinsville Church of Christ’s sanctuary. That’s Johnny Robertson himself in the left of the picture, and fellow cultist/stalker (and partner with recently found-guilty criminal trespasser Micah Robertson) Mark McMinnis in the plaid shirt sitting down.

Have you spotted it yet? Is your “Spider-Sense” tingling?

Well if not, behold true believers!

I count at least nine and possibly more Spider-Man comic books sitting in a pile on the pews of Martinsville Church of Christ. The headquarters of ...

Word has reached me from a few places that on last night’s installment of What Does the Bible Say? (or as many people call it “What Does Johnny Robertson Say?” and “The Martinsville Taliban Show”) on WGSR, that local cult leader Johnny Robertson called me out by name for stating that his son Micah Robertson was convicted on May 7th in Danville General District Court on the charge of trespassing stemming from an incident on February 28th at Westover Baptist Church in Danville, Virginia.

It seems that Johnny Robertson – leader of the area cult calling itself “Church of Christ” (I now call them the “Sons of Hell”, see Matthew 23:15 and some are now calling them “Stalkers for Jesus”) believes I am being irresponsible as a journalist. It is his contention that Micah Robertson was not actually “convicted”, but has had his judgment deferred for one year. At which ...

If the local cult calling itself the “Church of Christ” (which as I’ve stated before has nothing to do with the mainstream Churches of Christ that most people respectfully acknowledge) has any sense at all, then its leader Johnny Robertson had better direct those mysterious attorneys of his to begin filing amicus curiae briefs with the United States Supreme Court on behalf of Shirley Phelps-Roper: his longtime nemesis (among many others) and spokesthing for the infamous Westboro Baptist Church run by her father Fred Phelps.

(Having been in the same room with both of these soulless wretches and witnessed them screeching at each other, I can only begin to imagine what the reaction of either Robertson or Phelps-Roper to that assertion would be like…)

But it’s true: if Johnny Robertson and his followers want to continue harassing innocent people in what should be the comforting environments of their places 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 ...

To: Charles Roark, general manager of WGSR Star 47

I have significantly more substantiation for my report than you had when you allowed your biggest-paying client to accuse First Christian Church in Kernersville of child pornography without challenging him on it, or when you personally claimed on live television that the same church was “full of perverts”.

sincerely,
Chris Knight...

Yah, talking about Micah Robertson, son of local cult leader Johnny Robertson of the so-called “Martinsville Church of Christ”. Someone sent me an e-mail saying that Robertson the Lesser was doing daddy’s show tonight (why is it that Micah seems so ashamed to acknowledge that Johnny is his father?) and I was about to work on a video project and needed some background noise, so I dialed up the Martinsville feed of WGSR for chuckles.

Even while busy authoring a DVD, I was able to poke tons of holes in Robertson the Lesser’s alleged “presentation”.

First of all, I’m not at all convinced that Micah Robertson is completely confident in what he professes to believe. The guy comes across as too nervous, too insecure. He drones on and on like a monotone robot.

Well, when I tuned in Micah Robertson was claiming that pianos and guitars were carved idols and ...
