You Won't Believe It

[SkylineAdmirer]

This was an actual letter sent out by the St. Mary's Church:

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.

-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.

[hockeybronx]

Hey Playa...

Okay, reading this even made me a little embarassed. If you guys don't want my advice on this then don't read on...
















Basically I think the thing to remember is that anybody can start a church up in their basement and say whatever they want. There were also cases I think in the States where corrupt pastors were pocketing the offering money and the church was going bankrupt.

Unfortunately this story would definetely give people bad opinions on "The Church" as a whole. I think I fit into at least 10 of those categories, and believe me I LIVE MY LIFE FOR JESUS. Please remember that this is ONE CHURCH or ONE PERSON from that church. Faith isn't about the church you are in anyways, it's about your personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

buddy that movie brainwashed you for sure:rofl:

Hey Playa...

I see where your view is coming from for sure, this list is one of the whackest things I've heard.

Yes I believe that the reading the bible is a "wholesome activity" but I also think other things such as spending time building relationships with friends, having hobbies you like to do, and generally relaxing and enjoying life are other wholesome activities as well.

I challenge you not to generalize "all Christians" or believers of the bible because of this one quote found somewhere on the internet:thumbsup:

I see you, but it be kinda hard to not generalize the religous cats when religious cats be so quick to generalize anyone who ain't see things there way.

[statick]

^not always the case. thats just the genralization of how many ppl see "religous cats"

well, after reading all the posts on this topic

1.I feel all religions, from time to time, do put down others who challenge their beliefs,

2.Saying only catholics or christians do this is COMPLETELY exagerating and very arrogant

3. To the person who posted this, you should research how reliable your so called sources are, you are posting this on a Calgary based site, where we have 1 St.Marys church and high school, you should NOT post saying that St.Mary's MAILED OUT this letter out, when I am almost positive that you found this on the web, if infact they did mail this out I would LOVE to see a pic or scan of it

Hey Playa...

Boys...I'm glad this isn't turning into another 'holy war'.

It's great too see that we are all realizing how people can be generalized so easily.

Yes some non-believers do generalize believers negatively...but not all.

And

Yes some believers do generalize the rest of the world negatively as well...but not all.

It was definetely eye opening to see this thread though.
