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 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
- Wears band and/or rock t-shirts
- Wears excessive black eye makeup, lip stick, or nail polish
- Wears any odd silver jewelry or symbols. Some of these includes: reversed crosses, pentagrams, pentacles or various other Satanic worshipping symbols.
- Shows an interest in piercing’s or tattoo’s
- Listens to gothic or any other anti-social genre’s of music. (Marilyn Manson claim’s 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.
- 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

- Complains of boredom.
- Sleeps to excessively or too little
- Is excessively awake during the night. Dislikes sun or any other form of light (this pertains to vampires promoting that 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 your child may speak to evil spirits through meditation.)
- Is homosexual or bisexual
