I have been using their gospel tracts for years. While I don't agree with their stance on the KJV as being the only true word of God, also don't agree with their stance on rock music (in regards to Christian rock & metal musical artists). I do use their gospel tracks for witnessing. I was just curious as to what the rest of the ecclesia think about them?

Catholics tend to despise Chick because some of the stuff he published exposed serious sins in their worship, which I will neither get into nor debate on this thread.
Suffice it to say that every believer in Christ has their own strengths and weaknesses, and while I never viewed Chick as being the most enlightened or intellectual soul, it took serious guts to publish He Came To Set The Captives Free, and sometimes courage is a more important commodity than theological acumen, especially when it's in short supply.

I quote from Catholic Answers:
The Nightmare World of Jack T. Chick
You’ve seen them.
Perhaps left in a phone booth, Laundromat, or other public place. Maybe a Fundamentalist coworker or a street evangelist gave one to you. Perhaps a child gave one to your child at school. They have titles such as Are Roman Catholics Christian?, The Death Cookie, and Why Is Mary Crying? They are Chick tracts—tiny cartoon booklets produced by Jack T. Chick ("J.T.C.") and his publishing house, Chick Publications.
You’ve seen them . . . but have you read one? Do so, and you step into the nightmarish world of Jack T. Chick.
In this world, few things are as they appear. It is a world of shadow and intrigue, a world of paranoia and conspiracy theories, a world where demons haunt people sincerely trying to follow God, and the Catholic faith is the devil’s greatest plot against mankind.
Here are just a few things you will "learn" if you start reading Chick tracts and comic books:
The Catholic Church keeps "the name of every Protestant church member in the world" in a "big computer" in the Vatican for use in future persecutions.[1]
But the conspiracy is much broader than this, and it has been going on for a very long time. In the sixth century, for instance, Catholic leaders manipulated the Arabian tribesman Mohammed into creating the religion of Islam to use as a weapon against the Jews and to conquer Jerusalem for the pope.[2]
The Jesuits instigated the American Civil War, supporting the Confederate cause and seeking to undermine the Union. When they failed, they arranged the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.[3] Later, they formed the Ku Klux Klan.[4]
"Jesuits worked closely with Marx, Engels, Trotsky, Lenin, and Stalin" to create Communism, and it was "believed that soon . . . Communism would rise up as the new strong daughter of the Vatican."[5] It was Rome that instigated the Bolshevik Revolution and the murder of the czar’s family.[6] The Communist "liberation theology" movement also is a Vatican plot.[7]
The Nazi Holocaust of the 1940s was a Vatican-controlled attempt to exterminate Jews and heretics.[8] Further, "Hitler, Mussolini, and Franco were backed by the Vatican for the purpose of setting up a one-world government to usher in the ‘Millennial Kingdom’ under Pope Pius XII."[9]
The Vatican conspiracy is so extensive that, through the Jesuits, Rome controls the Illuminati, the Council on Foreign Relations, international bankers, the Mafia, the Club of Rome, the Masons, and the New Age movement.[10]
The Jesuits created the Jehovah’s Witnesses, Mormonism, Unity, Christian Science, and other religious groups.[11]
"Pope John Paul II has been a good Communist for many years"[12] and engineered a phony assassination attempt against himself in 1981 to shame Islam into warming relations with the Vatican, since the would-be killer was a Muslim.[13]
Tracts are only one of the ways Chick spreads his messages of hate and paranoia. His website (www.chick.com) lists large-size comic books, posters, booklets, books, videos, and DVDs for sale. Still, it is the tracts for which he is most famous. According to Chick Publications, more than 500 million of them have been distributed.
With shocking, sensationalist allegations such as these being distributed to hundreds of millions of people, you may be wondering . . .

One of the mainstays of Jack Chicks tracts is Alberto Rivera who is supposedly an ex-Jesuit priest who leads us into the murky world of Catholicism and claims to have been an undercover agent for Jesuits to infiltrate and destroy protestant churches. Many of his claims were investigated by Gary Metz of Christianity Today and found him to be a fraud. However that doesn’t stop his claims, and Jack Chicks, being touted around the numerous anti-Catholic websites on the net.

I dunno 
One of those Christian ministries that attracts fraudsters and hardliners. I do find the old school Protestant come to Jesus calls to repentance in many tracts uplifting but…
That’s about the extent of my approval I’m afraid.

As a heads up, if you want a fuller answer to your questions, you may not want to post in the Questions and Answers forum. It's not moderated, so they have no choice but delete anything that resembles debate. I provided several additional posts after the initial one because someone was goading me into an argument, and I got my posts removed for answering him, not realizing where I was, lol.

Hello jbc092671.
I don't believe those tracts portray God as just.
