  • Demons & Devils: the Moral Panic Surrounding Dungeons & Dragons
    Demons & Devils: The Moral Panic Surrounding Dungeons & Dragons, 1979-1991 by Austin Wilson Submitted to the Department of History of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for departmental honors Approved by: David Farber, Thesis Coordinator Sheyda Jahanbani, Committee Member David Roediger, Committee Member Date Defended: 4/24/2019 1 On June 9, 1982 Irving “Bink” Pulling committed suicide by shooting himself in the chest. His distraught mother Patricia Pulling attempted to find out what had driven her son to such extreme measures. In her search for answers she laid the blame squarely on Dungeons & Dragons (D&D), in which Bink had been heavily involved. Patricia Pulling started the organization Bothered About Dungeons and Dragons (BADD) in 1983. BADD crusaded against roleplaying games like Dungeons & Dragons. As she would argue in many works that she subsequently published, including her 1989 manifesto, The Devil’s Web: Who is Stalking Your Children for Satan?, Dungeons & Dragons was a dangerous game that put the lives and moral virtues of youths at risk by serving as an entry point to the occult.1 This paper will argue that there was a moment of crisis centered around the family in the period and the broader discussion of youth entertainment which allowed for BADD to gain traction. By examining pamphlets produced by BADD and Patricia Pulling’s appearance on shows like 60 Minutes the dogma of the group can be understood. By juxtaposing other pieces of media that a parent may have seen in the same period such as the senate hearing for parental advisory labels on music and anti-drug PSAs this paper will illustrate the ways that people were primed by other panics of the period to believe that D&D could be dangerous.

  • Princeton Prayer Letters Street Evangelism
    Princeton Prayer Letter, Princeton, NJ (Sept. 22, 2006) Friday Night in Princeton. One of the slowest nights we’ve seen in a long time in Princeton. Six people were present to witness/evangelize on 09/22/06. Elyse and Roberto – Two teens from Princeton area. Elyse took 2QT and flunked it. Then she admitted to breaking at least 3 of the 10C’s. When we discussed forgiveness being given by God, even after a life of sin, she balked. Thought that it was too easy for a murderer to get off the hook. She had trouble really accepting the idea of grace since she was from a R/C background. But she did not like the Catholic Church and had basically left it. But she still retained some of their “works” mentality. She took a Gospel of John and a More Than a Carpenter book with her. Roberto was very quiet and finally asked if he could worship Satan tonight and then tomorrow become Born Again, “could he do it”? I said “yes”, but that if he persisted in sin his heart would get harder and harder. He wanted to wait until later to get this “good deal” of forgiveness. I asked him when he would die, and he said probably in the next two weeks since he smoked ten packs a day. But he got my point that he has no idea of the time of his death. We gave him the Scripture that “now is the time of salvation,” and told him, “Don’t wait until it is too late.” Courtney and her friend stopped to speak with us.

The Gutenberg printing press brought the Bible to the common man but that was not all. Bible literature in small doses became widely used to whet the appetite for more of God’s word. Most revivals were preceded by a saturation blitz of gospel tracts stirring the people to conviction. Chick tracts are no different —the cartoon pictures simply adapt the ageless message to a format for the visual generation.

  • The 1611 Holy Bible Versus “Three Unclean Spirits”
    The 1611 Holy Bible versus “three unclean spirits” Revelation 16:13 Introduction This work is another instalment in the series that shows how the 1611 Holy Bible counters its critics and leaves them “guilty before God” Romans 3:19. The 1611 Holy Bible counters three such critics in this work and shows them to be typified by “three unclean spirits” Revelation 16:13 namely “a lying spirit” 1 Kings 22:22, 23, 2 Chronicles 18:21, 22, “a perverse spirit” Isaiah 19:14 and “a spirit of an unclean devil” Luke 4:33. That is God’s judgement on those individuals for having “mocked the messengers of God, and des- pised his words” 2 Chronicles 36:16 even though professing the contrary “by good words and fair speeches” Romans 16:18. This is how this work unfolded. This writer compiled a book entitled Britain Under Siege in the year 2000 published by Christian Concern about the threat to this nation from the pope’s EU, other Catholic threats, the threat of Mo- hammedanism and the sinful abandonment of the 1611 Holy Bible by church and nation that has left Britain “like a city that is broken down, and without walls” Proverbs 25:28 in the face of these and other serious threats. At about the same time, Dr Ian Sadler published a more detailed work that addresses the same mate- rial entitled Mystery, Babylon the Great (The Church or Rome and the European Union Exposed to the Light of Truth). See: www.freedom-ministries.com/catalog/other-books/mystery-babylon-the-great-by-dr-ian-sadler-the- church-or-rome-and-the-european-union-exposed-to-the-light-of-truth-34.html.

  • The Visual Culture of Chick Tracts and Its Problems with Communication Philip Forness 7 August 2008
    The Visual Culture of Chick Tracts and Its Problems with Communication Philip Forness 7 August 2008 2 I. Introduction In the 1960s, a group of comic artists began to differentiate their comic books from those that were prevalent in the first half of the twentieth century. Although many chroniclers of what came to be called the Underground Comics Movement have dated the beginnings of the movement to Robert Crumb’s Zap Comix in 1968 (Figure 1), it is readily admitted that there had been traces of the movement’s ideas before. In any case, from Crumb’s series the movement spread widely, notably including Harvey Kurtzmann of MAD Magazine, and later including Art Spiegelman, won the Pulitzer Prize for Maus. The earliest works in the movement display a deliberate disregard for taboos on portraying sexual scenes, exploring drug use, and challenging political assumptions (see Figure 2). Likewise, some artists of the movement used the comic book medium to satirize religion. Most notably, Frank Stack under the pseudonym Foolbert Sturgeon wrote The New Adventures of Jesus, a series of comics exploring how ridiculous it would be were Jesus in modern culture (see Figure 3). These themes attracted an adult crowd interested in defining themselves against the contemporary norm. While these comic artists were not the first to use comics for discourse among adults, their comics marked the first time that a widely-recognized, sustained subculture would emerge around adult-comics. Matthew Pustz observes that the comic artists’ willingness to portray drug use “worked to reinforce the community between the creators and their audience by emphasizing their shared experience.”1 Reveling in their otherness defined against the prim and proper façade of the 1960s, a family of collectors and creators formed around these comic books that would play a role in the progressive movements of the coming decades.
