    : Tehe. I remember when a friend posted this
    : on their LiveJournal. I never laughed so
    : hard. The sad thing is that they are in
    : fact Catholic and VERY actively participate
    : in the scene (they help promote our local
    : Goth club).
    :
    : I wish I could assist with its source, but
    : the only thing I could remember was that it
    : has the name of a particular Father
    : something-or-other. The only thing they
    : didn't mention was watching "Sesame
    : Street" just to see The Count!

    : 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,

    : -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

    : 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 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.)

    : 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.
