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 jewellery 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 dresses acts or speaks
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 centre.)
*-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 child 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.) 1
*-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.
-Masturbates.
*-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 centre.
