The question insufficiently defines what the questioner means by "be gothic". Of course one can converse in that old Germanic language and enjoy the architecture and styles known as 'Gothic'.
However, it is interesting that the Apostle Paul's writings apply to all styles of dress and grooming, and still apply all these centuries later... clothes are far less important than the personality. It may be that family members who you respect, or mature sisters in your congregation, can help you to apply these Scriptural principles in making specific choices about clothing options:
(1 Timothy 2:9-10) The women to adorn themselves in well-arranged dress, with modesty and soundness of mind, not with styles of hair braiding and gold or pearls or very expensive garb, but in the way that befits women professing to reverence God, namely, through good works.
(2 Timothy 1:7-8) God gave us not a spirit of cowardice, but that of power and of love and of soundness of mind. Therefore do not become ashamed of the witness about our Lord
(Titus 2:12) Repudiate ungodliness and worldly desires and to live with soundness of mind and righteousness and godly devotion amid this present system of things

Not a jehova witness.. am goth.. I just had a jehove witness knock on my good yesterday.. scarey!
I don't know why you'd want to be one, if that is what you are thinking...
Goths are generaly open-minded people...
Jehove witnesses won't even celebrate birthdays or holidays... They believe men are better than women...
I guess you could be both..........but...

Why would we want to be? And for that matter, why would anyone with a brain in their head want to be gothic? It's stupid.
I knew the ignorance would come out, and mavis is leading the way so far.

"mavisknows" does not know very much about Jehovah's Witnesses, maybe someone will give her a brochure explaining what we believe, and do not believe.
Hey Wink, good to see you again, Bill

No they cannot
they cannot be a witness for God and be gothic as well.
