This is another case of parents not being involved enough with their children and then freaking out when they do something weird. Parents let TV raise their children and then wonder why they don't grow up to wear suits all the time and listen to nothing but Beethoven. The bottom line is this, parents: TEACH YOUR CHILDREN, KNOW YOUR CHILDREN. "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." (Prov. 22:6) You don't have to worry about having satanic children if you guide them towards what is right and know their particular fears, desires, hopes, and loves.




p.s. Beethoven rocks.

p.p.s. Eating Fruity Pebbles means you are gay and eating Lucky Charms means you are Irish. :eyeroll:

I would say that I have five myself. Am I also goth because I am pale, and like medieval weapons? It would be the same as labeling me a potential murdering because of the above quirks in my behavior. I also have a strange, slight purple discoloring under my eyes which came from rubbing my eyes too much as a kid. A perpetual bruising I guess. Does these things make me need to be institutionalized?

Oh, brother...

I certainly hope that no one thought their kid was a Satanist because he watches TV, uses the internet a lot, likes spending time alone, plays video games, and ...eats Count Chocula cereal.

Sadly, the way some people think... :shake:

I can't get over the cereal thing :lol:

Excuse me if this sounds really stupid or ignorant, but is being a goth absolutely bad? I'm not into that stuff much (although the goth look interests me) but I've read somewhere that a goth isnt necessarily a satanist. I need some clarification on that :eyebrow:

Never mind, I'm not even gonna bother. . . Someone can delete this post if it's not too much trouble. Or you can leave it here. It doesn't matter to me.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

Mangafanatic wrote:Ouch, back down there, partner. Just havin' a friendly discussion.

Saying that list is just a list of behaviors of "bad kids" is some what true, but that doesn't mean it's not an equally good list of typical gothic behavior. I know parents who are good parents, but they were parents who just thought their kids were moody or just going through one of those "rebellious" stages that they themselves went through. Furthermore, one of the best mothers I know had a daughter who tried to commit suicide. Having rebellious children does not mean you are a bad parent. I sorta fail to see where this test would be for parents who want to "point the finger at something for their children's behavior." I mean, understand your child's mental state is the beginning of beind able to help them, isn't it.

I don't know. But I'm sure teh person who invented this test was well-meaning, wether it is used for good or evil.


Oh sorry if I came across as harsh there I tend to do that in a discussion.

I'm saying a good chunk of those questions, which I gave examples of, have nothing to do with "Gothdom" or anything that you can point a finger at. I'm talking about how these people just need something anything to blame even breakfast foods and cable television.

I never said that having rebellious children means your a bad parent. Most kids are like that to their parents. But if little Billy talks back to his mom and dad, and just happens to wear black clothing doesn't mean it's the new Goth movement turning him into satan's little helper.

I don't even think we need to mention the blood drinking, self mutiliation, speaking in the tongues of pagan gods stuff. Any parent in their right mind would know that something like that is a pretty clear sign your kid's in need of some serious immediate help.

[-]Claims to be a goth.

So basically, according to those that made this quiz, almost everyone has been at least somewhat "goth" at some point in there lives, or so that's what it looks like... right. I agree that some of these are indicators that a problem is present though.

Then there's the fact that alot of times goths are not Satan worshipers, though some may end up proceeding to that. Alot of goths just use the style of dress to express themselves much like some people do through art, writing, even sports. Some of them can be the nicest people you'll ever meet, and yet they get labeled badly. Okay, done now. (Not goth by the way.)

" wrote:Then there's the fact that alot of times goths are not Satan worshipers, though some may end up proceeding to that. Alot of goths just use the style of dress to express themselves much like some people do through art, writing, even sports. Some of them can be the nicest people you'll ever meet, and yet they get labeled badly.


Well-said :]

[-]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.)



Sometimes this is also a sign of depression, I've heard many stories of small children coming from a broken home or struggling with the divorce of parents who have turned to self mutilation. As a matter of fact... I once knew one. This is not neccesarily a sign of the occult, but help should be sought anyways if this symptom is discovered. It could be a sign of severe depression.




[-]Complains of boredom.



Boredom is not a sign of Satanism. If it is, then I think we are all doomed, cause after all, we've all complained of boredom at least once in our lives.



[x]Is excessively awake during the night.



I used to stay up very late all the time. But I was playing computer games, not dabbling in the occult. I can't stay up late any more as I got the morning shift now at work.



[-]Dislikes sunlight or any other form of light.



It's far too hot in Texas to even REMOTELY enjoy the sun.



[x]Requests time alone and quietness.



I request time alone so I can fully concentrate on my Japanese lessons. Does this make me a Satanist?



[x]Insists on spending time with friends while unaccompanied by an adult.



Yeah right.



[-]Eats goth-related foods. Count Chocula cereal is an example of this.



Yeah right.



[x]Watches cable television or any other corrupted media sources.



Better not watch Cartoon Network anymore.



[x]Uses the internet excessively and frequently makes time for the computer.



That's it, I'd better leave CAA before I get possessed by the Devil.



[-]Violently shakes head to music.



I shake my head violently to Christian Rock.



[-]Wears pins, stickers or anything else that contains these various phrases: "I'm so gothic, I'm dead", "Woe is me", or "I'm a goth".
[-]Claims to be a goth.



DU'H.

I don't know...I think we should stay away from that as well. We wouldn't want to become raving pirates on a sugar buzz while pillaging, burning, and ravaging the neighborhood.

To respond to what Golden Griff asked: Being goth isn't a bad thing, it's often labled that for sure fact that goths are don't conform to what everyone else says is good. The common populace is generaly disturbed by "goths" because they're different. There are goth Christians out there, one of my closest friends is. Goth is a style, a steryotype as well. It's not at all what that quiz was making it out to be. Hoped that helped. ^ ^;

I'm sorry I couldn't help it...he just seemed like an innocent spokeman for a breakfast food. I didn't know behind that white mustache and oversized pirate hat he was something sinister that would lead me away from the Light. I'm sorry!!! :sniffle:

I agree with Vash is a plant. Goth's aren't necessarily evil...my gosh. I wear black clothing, c'mon! I'm getting a black overcloak/trenchcoat thing (And a white one, like Aoshi's X}) and I'm not Gothic...at the Bible camp, some little kid said I was and...well, he apologized later, heh heh.

To add to what Vash and Destroyer said (I can't believe this just came to mind): I went to a big FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) ralley about a year back with a couple of my friends. There was food and some games, and then there was a big worship concert at the end. We had gotten our food later than most of the other people, so when we got into the auditorium, a lot of the seats were taken. We ended up sitting behind a group of guys (maybe 17 or 18) who were in full goth regale: black shirts with safety pins, black cargo pants with chains attached, and heavy black eyeliner and black lipstick. We were a bit wary at first (admittedly, who wouldn't be?) but when the music started and we all started singing, they were completely into it. It was amazing~ ^^ A good reminder that you shouldn't judge people by their outer appearances - goth or not you can still be 100% for the Lord.

Yes, that clears up things :) Thanx, and thanx to you too Kokoro and Destroyer.

As for you Yojimbo....if you ever speak or see of the blue costumed pirate again I'm afraid we will be forced to send you to the looney bin where you will be force-fed angel food cake :shady:
