gone astray from the Lord. |
|
| Gothic

young teenagers are prone to participating in. The gothic culture
leads young, suseptible minds into an imagined world of evil,
darkness, and violence. Please seek immediate attention through
counceling, prayer, and parental guidance to rid your child
of Satan's temptations if five or more of the following are
applicable to your child. |
