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 counseling, 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.
>>like johnny cash?
-Wears band and/or rock t-shirts.
>> like brittney spears?
-Wears excessive black eye makeup, lipstick or nail polish.
-Wears any odd silver jewelry or symbols.
-Shows an interest in piercing 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.

-Takes drugs.
-Drinks alcohol.

-Complains of boredom.
>> a child complaining of boredom??
-Sleeps too excessively or too little.
>>bad mattress
-Is excessively awake during the night.
-Demands an unusual amount of privacy.
>> maybe trying to get away from parents following them around with some list they found on the net??
-Spends large amounts of time alone.
-Requests time alone and quietness. (This is so that your chid may speak to evil spirits 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.
>> kids still do that?
-Misbehaves at home.

-Eats related-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.

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

I especially love the part where it says philosophy is a dangerous cult religion.
