this is a copy of a letter sent to the parents of one of my freshmen.
IF YOUR CHILD IS 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 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.
If Your Child:
-frequently wears black clothing
-wears band and/or rock t-shirts
-wears any odd, silver jewelery 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 goth 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 people that dress, speak, or act 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 or self-mutilation
-complains of boredom
-sleeps too excessively or too little
-is excessively awake during the night
-dislikes sunlight or any form of light (this pertains to vampires promoting 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 spirits through meditation)
-insists on spending time with friends unaccompanied by an adult
-disregards authority figures; teachers, nuns, priests, and elders are but a few examples of this
-misbehaves at school
-eats excessively or too little
-eats goth related foods (i.e. Count Chocula cereal)
-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
-plays video games that contain violence or role-playing
-uses the internet exceesively and frequently makes time for the computer
-makes Satanic symbols and/or violently shakes head to music
-dances to music in a provacative or sexual manner
-expresses an interest in sex
-masturbates
-is homosexual and/or bisexual
-pursues dangerous cult religions. (i.e. Satanism, Scientology, Philosophy, Paganism, Wicca, Hinduism, and Buddhism)
-wears pins, stickers, or anything else that contain these various phrases: "i'm so gothic, i'm dead", "oh woe is me", or "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.
whats sad is that i can't tell if it's a hoax or if its from an actual church. because we all know there are people who believe this kind of bullshit.
