On Friday, Micah Robertson (son of Johnny Robertson) was convicted of trespassing on the property of Westover Baptist Church. After spending four hours covering the situation, I still have no idea what to think about it.
Editor’s Note: Micah Robertson was not convicted of trespassing. The judge took the case under advisement for 12 months.

So, Micah Robertson lost. Or did he? After the trial, Johnny Robertson pursued the pastors of the church out of the court and they refused to stop and answer his questions. After listening to over two hours of calls from our viewers, there seems to be no middle ground. The callers that were supportive of Johnny Robertson and his methods wouldn’t budge when asked questions. The callers who were against Johnny Robertson stated their opinions then when asked questions to clarify their positions.. well, some of them got quite belligerent. This pattern seems to continue in the R&B’s comment section on the linked article.
If you’re looking for answers here, you’re in the wrong place. Because I can objectively see both sides of the arguments at times, I’ve came to the conclusion that I just don’t know what to think about this topic. The only thing that I do know is that this trespassing charge was a horrible idea, because all it does is throw gasoline on top of an already burning fire.

Sometimes radical nuts can only be controlled by laws that protect others. In this case the law2 has protected a church from being disrupted by a group of radicals bent on confrontation. I am proud of Westover and hope every church that has such an invasion file a warrant also.
If you have ever been around this group you would see how off the wall they really are. They cut and paste the bible to fit their agenda.A church has every right to prevent their services from becoming a verbal battleground.
These “Christians” are everything but.

Why can’t non members pay for his books? I don’t like putting all the financial burden on the Church of Christ. If I couldn’t afford the books that would be different knowing that I’m searching God’s perfect will in my family’s life with all of my heart. I don’t know anyone in the Church of Christ so they don’t have a right to judge me. I’m just searching for truth. Oh yeah I’m married to my third husband but he doesn’t want the things that come from our heavenly Father so I believe with all my heart soul mind and strength that the Lord is calling me out from under him to never marry again.
My husband isn’t trying to follow God and is no way interested and never has been interested in following God. I don’t believe I have enough wealth for churches any way so that means to me it must just be a hulks. Has America strayed so for from grace that we’re gone completely out of touch?
