Oh friends, I am just so shaken deep in my spirit! I have learned that one of my children has been cutting herself. Yes, cutting herself. Like a side of beef. And why? Because she has been converted to the EMO Cult and now follows this ritual because she thinks it will bring her salvation from suffering. Or something. It doesn't make any sense. Clearly Satan is fighting for her soul.
I found out that a friend of hers gave her an old i.pod (a musical devise to listen to music without others knowing because the sound goes directly into the ear - I learned this is one of Satan's favorite tools). On this i.pod one band was featured more than any other: Black Veil Brides.
Being a good mother and diligent home educator, I did some internet research on this band. I spent at least three hours so now I know everything there is to know. This is what I can tell you:
This band is a leader in the EMO Religion. They are like the High Priests, but more than just High Priests, as they command an Army.
This Army's sole purpose is to turn people away from the Saving Grace of Jesus. The EMO theme is that everyone needs to DIE.
I read that even the South Park cartoon blamed them for all the suicidal girls and EMO problems in this country.
Leader encourages people to punch each other in the face
to show their allegiance and blind obedience.
Their music is all about hating life, cutting, suicide, being depressed, wearing rebellious hair in the face,
skinny jeans and black clothing. Also pornography:
I don't know what's more disturbing, the person licking blood off the ax,
or the person pleasuring himself watching it.
Please pray for us as we discipline our daughter properly.
He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.
Proverbs 13:24
Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.
Proverbs 19:18
Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.
Proverbs 23:13
