Weird Tract Number 111: "What's Wrong With Petting[?]" by Anonymous

Troy Davis writes:

I'm no fan of Lyndon Johnson but I was amused with his quip about how the invention of pantyhose ruined a certain type of petting. This anonymous six page pamphlet gives the lowdown on how unmarried couples feeling each other up is unbiblical. The highlight of the tract is when the author uses Galatians 5: 19, 21 to lump horny teens with some real lowlifes:

¹⁹ The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; ²⁰ idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions ²¹ and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.

That kind of reminds me of the list of "Doorways to Demonic Possession" I created for my Chick tract parodies (more about it here). 

The only redeeming part of this tract is that it's more succinct than a similarly-theme tract by John R. Rice in the museum's collection: "Courtship and the Dangers of Petting" (read about it here).
