Is Your Child a Goth? Presented by St. Mary's Church
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 nail polish.
-Wears any odd silver jewelry or 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.
-Demands an unusual amount of privacy.
-Spends large amounts of time alone.
-Requests time alone and quietness. (This is so that your chid may speak to
evil sprits through meditation.)
-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 Dracula cereal is an example of this.
-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 or sexual manner.
-Expresses an interest in sex.

"I'm so gothic, I'm dead", "woe is me", "I'm 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.

aha! maybe the question is not whose child IS goth?, but whose child is not
goth?... randomly, but in reality these days all the little children are
saying they are goth, that or 'emo' and they run around wearing black and
talking about how depressed they were last week and how drunk they got..
'child', i said, 'you are seven, first off you should not have been drunk
and did you ever think that you might be depressed because you were that
drunk and stoned out of your mind...?' but then they start into a long
string of insults that are not really insults because for something to be
insulting one first has to understand what they are saying so i walk
away...

Wasn't this whole "Is your child a goth" thing quoted in some other forum
topic? It seems very familiar.

yeah, i was thinking that. ah well, its still funny.
i have just noticed that it says, 'child takes an interest in...anything
else that involves satan.'
now, correct me if im wrong, but is satan not quite intrinsically involved
in the bible. and in church. and in christianity in general?
is this list honestly saying that if your interest in the bible, church and
prayer declines then you are a goth, and that if you take an interest in
these things then you are a goth.
maybe im misinterpreting, but it does say this quite specifically.
hmm
