Julie, the man is quite frankly a paranoid schizophrenic. He's completely convinced that the Roman Catholic church is responsible for everything from the assassination of JFK, to the rise of Islam and the Illuminati. He believes that Jesuit priests engaged in countless acts of subterfuge throughout the ages, especially during the Nazi regime. I think maybe he'd benefit from that "cocktail" you mentioned earlier. ;o)
As for the tract on JW's, I thought it was the most ridiculous and rhetorical material I ever saw on them. The situation was so stereotypical and portrayed in such a way that I groaned while I read it. It's garbage like this which convinces JW's that they really do have "the truth�" after all.
I guess his demented style of writing is the reason why his tracts have become more popular among an audience which is the exact opposite of who he meant to reach. You know, like atheists, skeptics, beatniks, etc. I guess you could say Jack Chick is the antithesis to Andy Warhol. :o)
Oh, well... What's one to do with crackpots like that?
