If Your Child is a Gothic, Reform Through the Lord!

Listed below are some warning signs to indicate if your child may have gone astray from the Lord.

Gothic (or goth) is a very obscure and often dangerous culture that young teenagers are prone to participating in. The gothic culture leads young, susceptible minds into an imagined world of evil,darkness, and violence. Please seek immediate attention through counselling, prayer, and parental guidance to rid your child of Satan's temptations if five or more of the following are applicable to your child:

- Frequently wears black clothing.
- Wears band and/or rock t- shirts.
- Wears excessive black eye makeup, lipstick or nailpolish.
- Wears any odd, silver jewelry or symbols. Some of these include: reversed crosses, pentagrams, pentacles, ankhs or various other Satanic worshipping symbols.
- Shows an interest in piercings or tattoos.
- Listens to gothic or any other anti-social genres of music. (Marilyn Manson claims to be the anti-Christ, and publicly speaks against the Lord. Please discard any such albums IMMEDIATELY.)
- Associates with other people that dress, act or speak eccentrically.
- Shows a declining interest in wholesome activities, such as: the Bible, prayer, church or sports.
- Shows an increasing interest in death, vampires, magic, the occult, witchcraft or anything else that involves Satan.
- Takes drugs.
- Drinks alcohol.
- Is suicidal and/or depressed.
- Cuts, burns or partakes in any other method of self-mutilation. (This is a Satanic ritual that uses pain to detract from the light of God and His love. Please seek immediate attention for this at your local mental health center.)
- Complains of boredom.
- Sleeps too excessively or too little.
- Is excessively awake during the night.
- Dislikes sunlight or any other form of light. (This pertains to vampires promoting the idea that His light is of no use.)
- Demands an unusual amount of privacy.
- Spends large amounts of time alone.
- Requests time alone and quietness. (This is so that your child may speak to evil sprits.)
- Insists on spending time with friends while unaccompanied by an adult.
- Disregards authority figures; teachers, priests, nuns and elders are but a few examples of this.
- Misbehaves at school.
- Misbehaves at home.
- Eats excessively or too little.
- Eats goth- related foods. Count Chocula cereal is an example of this. (Count Chocula makes you communicate with the devil)
- Drinks blood or expresses an interest in drinking blood. (Vampires believe this is how to attain Satan. This act is very dangerous and should be stopped immediately.)
- Watches cable television or any other corrupted media sources. (Ask your local church for proper programs that your child may watch.)
- Plays videos games that contains violence or role-playing nature.
- Uses the internet excessively and frequently makes time for the computer.
- Makes Satanic symbols and/or violently shakes head to music.
- Dances to music in a provocative manner.
- Is homosexual and/or bisexual.
- Pursues dangerous cult religions. Such include: Satanism, Scientology, Philosophy, Paganism, Wicca, Hinduism and Buddhism.
- Wears pins, stickers or anything else that contains these various phrases: "I'm so gothic, I'm dead", "woe is me", "I'm a goth".
- Claims to be a goth.

If five or more of these apply to your child, please intervene immediately. The gothic culture is dangerous and Satan thrives within it. If any of these problems persist, enlist your child into your local mental health center.

***Ace Mercury*** · 01-31-2005, 12:40 PM

I like the fact that "claims to be a goth" is on the list. The Count Chocula thing puts it over the top though.

Gumby, dammit · 01-31-2005, 04:04 PM

- Frequently wears black clothing
Yeah, I wear black clothing frequently, so?

- Shows an interest in piercings or tattoos.
WOW! I didn't know most of my friends are goth because they have earrings!

- Shows a declining interest in wholesome activities, such as: the Bible, prayer, church or sports.
... I'm out of shape, of course I'm not going to like sports very much.

- Shows an increasing interest in death, vampires, magic, the occult, witchcraft or anything else that involves Satan.
WOW! I didn't know I was goth because I like videogames with magic, cults, and anything like that! I guess I better toss out all of my Fatal Frame, Silent Hill, and Resident Evil games!

- Complains of boredom.
Yeah, because there's not much to do all day.

- Sleeps too excessively or too little.
Is it my problem I'm a light sleeper?

- Demands an unusual amount of privacy.
Doesn't everyone want to be alone at times?

- Spends large amounts of time alone.
See above.

- Requests time alone and quietness. (This is so that your child may speak to evil sprits.)
Gee. I guess I'm a goth because I'm shy.

- Insists on spending time with friends while unaccompanied by an adult.
Yeah, it's called 'Going to see a movie'.

- Eats goth- related foods. Count Chocula cereal is an example of this. (Count Chocula makes you communicate with the devil)
WOW! I guess I should toss all of my Count Chocula, Frankenberry, and Boo Berry cereal out, even though they're my favorites!

- Watches cable television or any other corrupted media sources. (Ask your local church for proper programs that your child may watch.)
If MXC and other great shows are on that list, then I guess I should burn my TV.

- Plays videos games that contains violence or role-playing nature.
Name one decent game that doesn't have one slight bit of violence in it. (( Almost everygame has some sort of violence, from jumping on enemy's heads to blowing them up. ))

- Uses the internet excessively and frequently makes time for the computer.
WOW! I guess I should just say 'Screw you!' to all my friends online, and forget about the internet!

HOLY HELL! 14 CHECKS! I'M A SUPER DUPER UBER GOTH!
That list is probably BS, and anyone who believes it should be shot. (( Come on, Count Chocula satanic? ))
How much you wanna bet RAMBON made that flyer?
