"Is Your Child Goth?" kinda funny e-mail i just got[views:3776][posts:42]_______________________________________ [Jul 4,2005 1:28pm - DomesticTerror ""] This is a newsletter that St. Mary's church in Colorado Springs sent out this week: 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 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 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 are of a 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 center. ~St. Mary's Catholic Church |

| _______________________________________ [Jul 4,2005 1:31pm - DomesticTerror ""] or be bored. or have interest in sex. or eat count chocula |

| _____________________________ [Jul 4,2005 2:33pm - Lamp ""] I can't decide which one of those is the funniest, the constantly wanting time alone to talk to evil spirits, the Count Dracula cereal thing, their idea of wholesome activities, or... You know what? Hell, they're all ridiculously funny. |
| __________________________________ [Jul 4,2005 2:56pm - Dissector ""] I want to get a pin that says "I'm So Gothic" And one of the warning signs to see if your child is gothic is if he or she claims to be gothic. Haha that's a little more than just a warning sign. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 4,2005 3:05pm - AUTOPSY_666 ""] Boo Berry is pure evil! |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 4,2005 3:06pm - DomesticTerror ""] that's why they got rid of it |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 4,2005 3:08pm - DomesticTerror ""] personally, i've always felt that Smurfberry Crunch was a blatant attempt at converting american children to Communism. |
| ________________________________________ [Jul 4,2005 6:59pm - SacreligionNLI ""] this reminds me of all those crazy, ignorant slogans they put in front of churches now such as "fear of the lord is wisdom"...i feel like pulling a varg |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 5,2005 1:40pm - tsectpathogen ""] That would basically be implying that every teenager is a goth...and I highly resent that, since i am in fact no where near a goth. |
| ______________________________ [Jul 5,2005 1:47pm - jesus ""] woe is me |
| _________________________________________ [Jul 5,2005 2:24pm - largefreakatzero ""] Just for the record, it's Count Chocula cereal. And eating it is pure kvlt. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 5,2005 2:36pm - Ma_Dukes ""] I dont think that i have ever heard someone refer to hinduism or buddhism as a "dangerous cult religion" all those damn monks killing people cause they think that their religon is the only way to salvation. are catholics seriously calling out OTHER religons for being cultlike????? |
| _________________________________________ [Jul 5,2005 2:44pm - largefreakatzero ""] Actually they do have some good advice: "Marilyn Manson claims to be the anti-Christ, and publicly speaks against the Lord. Please discard any such albums IMMEDIATELY." |
| _________________________________ [Jul 5,2005 2:45pm - Ma_Dukes ""] okay ...i agree with that one, but that is all. |
| _________________________________________ [Jul 5,2005 4:18pm - IntricateProcess ""] -Eats goth-related foods. Count Dracula cereal is an example of this. haha wtf that list is wrong on so many levels |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 5,2005 5:21pm - DomesticTerror ""] so mote it be... |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 5,2005 6:10pm - swamplorddvm ""] Remember this kid? http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fusea...ndID=2612175&Mytoken=20050705150920 |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 5,2005 6:11pm - swamplorddvm ""] oops. |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 5,2005 6:17pm - swamplorddvm ""] -Wears any odd, silver jewelry or symbols. Some of these include: reversed crosses, pentagrams, pentacles, ankhs or various other Satanic worshipping symbols. various OTHER Satanic symbols. The "Ankh" is not frigging Stanaic. -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". Hahaha, "woe is me". Who ever came up with this list is not very with it. |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 5,2005 6:28pm - swamplorddvm ""] -Makes Satanic symbols and/or violently shakes head to music. There was plenty of that going on last night! |
| __________________________________ [Jul 5,2005 8:18pm - eddienli ""] i hate goths. I also hate born agains. maybe the two groups will have a war and kill each other off |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 5,2005 8:39pm - Distrust-Kevin ""] -Wears band and/or rock t-shirts. - band t-shirts. wow. is that ANY band i wonder? I also like the "and/or" |
| _____________________________ [Jul 6,2005 1:13am - Lamp ""] If there was a band called Jesus Saves and they made shirts and I wore one, would I suddenly be goth? According to this, fuck yes. |
| _______________________________ [Jul 6,2005 1:24am - retzam ""] "-Pursues dangerous cult religions. Such include: Satanism, Scientology, Philosophy, Paganism, Wicca, Hinduism and Buddhism." That's one of my favorites. Hahaha, this is hilarious. |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 6,2005 2:34am - anonymous ""] all of that sounds like the kids in bloodstruck |
| ________________________________________ [Jul 6,2005 9:47am - DreamingInExile ""] swamplorddvm said:various OTHER Satanic symbols. The "Ankh" is not frigging Stanaic. yes, but according to "Christianity"(and all it's gayness), any symbol that depicts something other then a cross or crucifix is a pagan symbol. Star of David = Pagan Pentacle = Pagan Pentagram = Pagan Thor's Hammer = Pagan -insert other symbol here- = Pagan Christians are to stuck in their own ways to understand that other points of view are also correct. :gun: |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 6,2005 11:38am - babyshaker ""] it does sound like us in bloodstruck huh...this explains my insatiable lust for count chocula cereal and or my gigantic marylin manson collection... |

| _____________________________________ [Jul 6,2005 12:59pm - Robdeadskin ""] who ever wrote that has to check themselves in a local mental center. |
