My favorite bible verse is Matthew 4:10 "Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve" :). Jesus is just so great. The sacrifice he made still amazes me. There is no reason to not serve him. :innocent:.

[18] An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
[19] A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

I take no offense at what you said. Believe me, my father beats me often and severly. My father taught me well not to "ruin even a minute of your day." as is said on the website. He has raised me in traditional values. I.e.: Speak when spoken to, address authority with the proper titles, the fear of our Lord is the beginning of wisdom, etc. My father has made it a goal to "deliver his soul from hell." As for the memorization, that came after the beating. I learned my lesson.

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:

1-Frequently wears black clothing. A lot of people wear black. Mabye they just like the color...
2-Wears band and/or rock t-shirts. There are Christian bands. Ever heard of Relient-K? (Don't get me wrong, I don't like them)
3-Wears excessive black eye makeup, lipstick or nailpolish. Yet again, maybe they just like the color.
4-Wears any odd, silver jewelry or symbols. Some of these include:
reversed crosses, pentagrams, pentacles, ankhs or various other
Satanic worshipping symbols.Pentagrams and pentacles are of Wiccan nature, unless they are reversed. And an ankh is the Egyptian symbol of life and eternity, widely know and used by some Christian churches.
5-Shows an interest in piercings or tattoos. A lot of people have piercings or tattoos. That doesn't make them gothic.
6-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.) Just because you listen to a certain music, doesn't mean you have to believe it. I like a few Marilyn Manson songs, and I'm not goth.
7-Associates with other people that dress, act or speak
eccentrically. Yet again, just because you listen to them or associate with them in any way, doesn't make you them. You can hang out with everyone, yet only be yourself.
8-Shows a declining interest in wholesome activities, such as: the
Bible, prayer, church or sports. There are non-Christian normal people, and there are Christian goths who read the Bible and pray. And not everyone likes sports.
9-Shows an increasing interest in death, vampires, magic, the occult,
witchcraft or anything else that involves Satan. Being interested in something, doesn't make said person a part of something. Only if you act upon desires and become said person, are you actually becoming a part of something. Also, there are Satanists, suicidals, Occultists, and Witches who are all normal in appearance and in interaction. And there are Christian Witches, magicians, suicidals, etc...
10-Takes drugs.
11-Drinks alcohol. Not all goths do drugs or drink.
12-Is suicidal and/or depressed.[color]Not all goths are depressed or suicidal.[/color]
13-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.) Not all goths cut themself. A lot of non-goths do. LaVeyen Satanists do not believe in self mutilatoin, but rather worshipping oneself.
14-Complains of boredom. So...
15-Sleeps too excessively or too little. And your poit is?
16-Is excessively awake during the night. Some people work at night. Kids like to stay out with their friends.
17-Dislikes sunlight or any other form of light. (This pertains to
vampires promoting the idea that His light is of no use.) Some people (in very rare cases) are allergic to UV rays or are easily burned and avoid sunlight for medical reasons.
18-Demands an unusual amount of privacy. Not everyone is a people person.
19-Spends large amounts of time alone. See above.
20-Requests time alone and quietness. (This is so that your child
may speak to evil sprits through meditation.) Or maybe so they can talk to their friends. Or maybe so they sleep. Ever thought of that? Where are you getting this from?
21-Insists on spending time with friends while unaccompanied by an
adult. They're kids. What do you expect?
22-Disregards authority figures; teachers, priests, nuns and elders
are but a few examples of this. How does that make them goth?
23-Misbehaves at school.
24-Misbehaves at home.
25-Eats goth-related foods. Count Dracula cereal is an example of
this. You mean Count Chocula? What, just because you like chocolate, you must be goth?
26-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.) Satanists don't drink blood. If your kid is drinking blood, it doesn't make them goth. That is usually related to dumb kids who think they are Satanic, yet know nothing about it.
27-Watches cable television or any other corrupted media sources.
(Ask your local church for proper programs that your child may watch.) And what might those be? ...
28-Plays videos games that contains violence or are of a role-playing
nature. And this makes you goth, how? What about games like Metal Gear? It is violent, yet has nothing in the gothic nature.
29-Uses the internet excessively and frequently makes time for the
computer. Like you don't...
30-Makes Satanic symbols and/or violently shakes head to music. It's called headbanging. It has nothing to do with Satanism and is not directly related to goths. Some goths may headbang, some don't. Some non-goths headbang, some don't.
31-Dances to music in a provocative or sexual manner. So.
32-Expresses an interest in sex. Hormones....
33-Masturbates. It's natural. Trust me.
34-Is homosexual and/or bisexual. How does that associate with goths in a direct way?
35-Pursues dangerous cult religions. Such include: Satanism,
Scientology, Philosophy, Paganism, Wicca, Hinduism and Buddhism. Buddhism is about nothing but peace and loving kindness. How could it possibly be dangerous?
36-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".
37-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.

Exactly, good Pastor.

After all, what kind of a disgusting man touches a man's private parts? :bad:
You know the answer to that, don't you Myers!?
A homersexual is the one doing it!

When you touch yourself "down there".. You're basically training for future homersexual encounters.
And boy, let me tell you, God HATES fags! (Leviticus 20:13)
Don't fall for the lieberal crap that God loves everyone, God is a consuming fire, a jealous God (Deuteronomy 4:24) who does not at all aquit the wicked.. (Nahum 1:3)

If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination:
They shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
Leviticus 20:13

For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.
Deuteronomy 4:24

The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked:
The LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
Nahum 1:3

Or do you people SIT on the toilet to pee like A WOMAN does? :fear2:
