Repent you goth sinners
This is an actual letter:
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 chid 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.)
-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.
-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

Actually I started answering some of these while I was reading them to my wife...I'm even more goth than I thought at my first post...but
-Frequently wears black clothing. Doesn't the clergy seem to have an affection for black clothing??
-Associates with other people that dress, act or speak eccentrically. Don't we all hang out with people that dress, look, and talk like we do??
-Complains of boredom. Don't we all get bored at some point with something?
-Sleeps too excessively or too little. So what do you do if you are really tired or if your not?? Again which is it?
-Is excessively awake during the night. What about night shift workers?
-Demands an unusual amount of privacy. I like my privacy
-Spends large amounts of time alone. I like my privacy, and I like being alone even in a crowd. I want my space.
-Requests time alone and quietness. (This is so that your chid may speak to evil sprits through meditation.) -Insists on spending time with friends while unaccompanied by an adult. I didn't realize this was bad...besides what teen wants to be with adults anyway?? I guess we corrupted our son..
-Eats goth-related foods. Count Dracula cereal is an example of this. I thought it was Count Chocula cereal...but what do I know I don't eat it anyway
-Plays videos games that contains violence or role-playing nature. What if it was a Christian based role playing game like "THE SPANISH INQUISITION"? or "THE CRUSADES"??

My daughter sent me that list and thought it was funny.
My list looks like this:
-Frequently wears black clothing. Half my wardrobe is black or dark colors
-Wears band and/or rock t-shirts. What if it is my Amy Grant t-shirt though?
-Wears any odd, silver jewelry or symbols. Some of these include: reversed crosses, pentagrams, pentacles, ankhs or various other Satanic worshipping symbols. I suppose my Tigers Claw necklace I wear would fall under this category
-Shows an interest in piercings or tattoos. Shit and I just started having two new pieces drawn up as of this weekend
-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.) I can't remember honestly listening to anything but anti social music
-Associates with other people that dress, act or speak eccentrically. heh...you think I am weird? you really should meet my friends
-Shows a declining interest in wholesome activities, such as: the Bible, prayer, church or sports. Bible, sports, church and prayer have never been high on my list to begin with so who would notice?
-Shows an increasing interest in death, vampires, magic, the occult, witchcraft or anything else that involves Satan. nope not me...not at all:chuckles:
-Takes drugs. Been there done that
-Drinks alcohol. Oh boy this is a big one
-Is suicidal and/or depressed. Diagnosed clinical depression...does that count?
-Complains of boredom. Gee...what a specific warning sign this is
-Sleeps too excessively or too little. So what would be the proper amount of time so we can judge this properly?
-Is excessively awake during the night. It's because satn calls me in the night during free minutes
-Spends large amounts of time alone. I like my alone time and privacy
-Requests time alone and quietness. (This is so that your chid may speak to evil sprits through meditation.) -Insists on spending time with friends while unaccompanied by an adult. See above
-Disregards authority figures; teachers, priests, nuns and elders are but a few examples of this. It's just how I am
-Misbehaves at school. Does this go on my permanent record?
-Misbehaves at home. Doesn't everyone do this?
-Eats excessively or too little. I am either hungry or I am not
-Eats goth-related foods. Count Dracula cereal is an example of this. It's count chocula moron and exactly what is "Goth related foods"?
-Watches cable television or any other corrupted media sources. (Ask your local church for proper programs that your child may watch.) Wow...just wow!
-Plays videos games that contains violence or role-playing nature. You mean there are other kinds??
-Uses the internet excessively and frequently makes time for the computer. This all goes back to that alone time thing
-Makes Satanic symbols and/or violently shakes head to music. Sure you want us interested in sports so when someone headbangs as exercise it is wrong
-Dances to music in a provocative or sexual manner. One word...LAMBADA!!!
-Pursues dangerous cult religions. Such include: Satanism, Scientology, Philosophy, Paganism, Wicca, Hinduism and Buddhism. I have been Wiccan for over 12 years now and not once have I even acknowledged satan in my beliefs or rituals
-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". Wow so now humor is a gothic trait?
It's amazing how generic these traits can be, I mean I don't think I could name a person (including my kids) who doesn't fall into at least 5 of these descriptions.
