The Church of the Subgenius / SUBGENIUS

Then you are probably BETTER than most people!
IF you suspect that things are much worse than you ever suspected-

IF the only thing you’ve been able to laugh at for the last 5 years is the fact that NOTHING is funny anymore-

IF you sometimes want to collar people on the street and scream that you’re more different than they could possible *imagine*-

IF you see the whole universe as one vast morbid sense of sick humor-

IF the current “Age of Progress” seems more like the Dark Ages to you-

IF you are looking for an inherently contradictory religion that will condone megadegeneracy and yet tell you that you are “above” everyone else-

Then…
THE CHURCH OF THE SUBGENIUS

could save your sanity!

CONTACT ALIENS BOTH BENEVOLENT AND EVIL!

The Church of the SubGenius the first and last stand against a crumbling world filled with Pinks and Glorps.

“SURVIVE THE GREAT CATACLYSMS THROUGH UFO TRANSPORT!”

THE CONSPIRACY!
The idea that America (or any country) values individuality as the highest ideal is a myth. Perhaps in simpler times it was true, but no MODERN industrial society can really afford a population of unpredictables. This is not surprising — the long history of our cult’s persecution by the Conspiracy goes back for generations untold, and indeed there are signs of their hoary repression of prehuman SubGenii dating from BEFORE “man’s” appearance on Earth. All of civilization’s painful and misguided climb up from the primeval slime, and its subsequent loss of Slack AND OF ANY CLASS AT ALL, has been indelibly marked, nay, ENTIRELY MOTIVATED, by the aeons- bridging conflict between the Conspiracy’s mindlessly chickenshit Witless Principals and the Jehovah-spawned, grandiose depravity of the superior yet ethnically all-encompassing race of latent SubGeniuses. (You should know this — YOU WERE/WILL BE THERE IN THE BEFORELIFE!) The fact that only in recent years has “our kind” begun to recognize our own sovereignty demonstrates both how vicious have been Their efforts at further denying us Slack and yet now near is our race to TRIUMPH.

All this is ULTIMATE PROOF that Jehovah 1 has not only promoted the SubGenius as His Special Tool, but has SIMULTANEOUSLY pulled the strings which make THEM endarken Themselves with their hereditary ignorance AND US with their cubistic witch-hunt superstitions. His “reason” for this two-faced obedience-school programming, this fissioning of history into binary “war equations,” unfortunately, or, perhaps, thankfully, remains at total mystery.

But Jehovah 1 is not alone in His cosmic meddling, for Earth has been periodically visited for thousands of years by BENEVOLENT ALIENS of such technical and psychic superiority that their powers, while no match for Jehovah’s, are nonetheless nothing short of “Godlike” to we roaches, the Human Race. These BENIGN SPACE MONSTERS, the “X-ists,” have walked among us throughout history, investigating and sometimes resisting the subatomically-pervading presence of Jehovah 1. We are not, then, alone in our battle/subservience. The rise and “fall” of Atlantis, the erection of the Pyramids and other monuments which NO SLOPEHEADS ALONE COULD BUILD, the miracles of the Old Testament, all these and more are events so inextricably interwoven with the invisible background war between Jehovah and the Xists that all the “Ancient Astronaut” fossils in the world furnish only the barest of clues. (The movie rights ALONE to these gut-splitting tales of reincarnancient history are worth MILLIONS!) Yea, it has even been suggested that the Carpenter of Nazareth himself, God Jr., Jesus ‘What, Me Worry?’ Christ, was in actuality a ‘space detective’ of the Xists, walking the Earth in human form with the mission of extricating us from the Monster God’s grip.

The black shadow of the Conspiracy, unfortunately, has seen to it that even His teachings were diluted and distorted until human attempts to follow them were fully as misguided as the carving of the heads of Easter Island or the ‘runways’ of Nazca.

And so the true history of the SubGenius has been kept secret from Man. For Jehovah 1 is to the Xists and Us what a hungry fisherman is to a prize fish and his favorite pet worm – the last in the can. How many million other races were used before us in these ghastly galactic water-sports?

UNTIL NOW!!

For YOU are lucky enough to “live” in the End Times when the Word of Jehovah’s Prime Ordinance has been made known to “Man“kind by the Primanimal SubGenius, the High Epopt of the Church!

In the early Fifties an industrious young American drilling equipment salesman, while watching late-night TV, was abruptly REMOVED and transported astrally to the ‘IDGE’ of JEHOVAH 1 HIMSELF! In this seizure-like trance he took the brunt of the first brain-buffeting communications of countless to come from the alien Jehovah: awesome pronouncements which form the sacred PRESCRIPTURES of the SubGenius

This milestone in Man’s mined path to Slack was:

THE DIVINE EMACULATION OF J.R. “BOB” DOBBS!!

Who IS “Bob”?

While yet the least approachable or scrutable of the vast SubGenius membership, he is the preeminent and most frequently invoked of the godzillion PERSONAL SAVIORS of the SubGenius. While he remains an anonymous executive shunning publicity or recognition at a faceless multinational corporation, he is nevertheless The Most Ascended Master, the original Retriever of Jehovah’s Message on Earth and basic model of the Archetype SubGenius. He set the “anti-pattern” of random conduct among all those who are now practicing SubGeniuses. His are the defects and peccadilloes that we ‘analize,’ his the SLONGS and the JESTS which we devotedly twist and distort for future generations according to our unexplored whims. — AND YET the only photos of him that exist are grainy frame blow-ups from Grade Z movie thrillers in which he played bit parts!

Dobbs is, of course, the ultimate symbol of SubGeniusness, but despite/because of his infra-human mediumship he possesses one single failing above and beyond all other shortcomings: his omninclusive FOLLIES. Yet where they would be crippling stumbling-blocks for another person, in Dobbs they loom stranger-than-life. His ten billion all-too-human quasimodalities embody, in some cheaply symbolic way, all the Foibles of the Primate Race. Dobbs is a miacrocosm encapsulating the imperfektions of the so-called ‘human condition;’ his Blunders and Idiocies, errors and inadvertencies are perhaps more sacrosanct, more deserving of analization than even his hallowed salesmanship. None of “Bob’s” words or deeds are particularly spectacular; their holiness lies IN their nondescript but inviolate triviality. As Dobbs once ‘spouted,’ “THE STUPIDER IT LOOKS, THE MORE IMPORTANT IT PROBABLY IS.”

You too can can be a part of this WAVE OF THE FUTURE!

THESE ARE THE WAYS BY WHICH WE LIVE:
*Absolute submission to leadership
*Polarized world view (we’re good/right, everyone else is bad/wrong)
*Stressing feelings over thought (emotions seen as more hilarious than
rational thinking)
*Manipulation of feelings (through guilt, fear, “acu-beating,” etc)
*Denigration of critical thinking (characterizing the mind or thinking as
wasteful or foolish)
*The ends justify the means.
*“Bob’s” concerns always come before individual concerns, needs, etc.
*Warnings of severe or supernatural sanctions for defection from the Church.
*SubGenius beliefs constitute the absolute truth and are above secular law.
*Church membership gives one access to special powers and privileges

IN ADDITION PLEASE NOTE:
*The Church controls the member’s time and activities
*The Church controls the member’s access to information
*The Church manipulates language, ascribing new meanings to ordinary words
*The Church discourages critical, rational thought
*The Church practices trance-induction techniques
*The Church pressures members to reveal extremely personal information and engages in “gut-blowout”
*There is intense group pressure to fail to conform
*The Church pressures the convert to maintain a rigorous lifestyle which
reflects irrational and insane values
*The Church pressures the member for public testimonies of loyalty
*There are repeated threats of sanctions for leaving
*The members are dependent upon the Church for relationships and support
*There are promises of imminent fulfillment, peace, salvation, if they
just “stick it out a little longer,” or “try a little harder.”
*There is control of sexuality and intimacy within the cult if they just
“stick it out a little longer,” or “try a little harder.”
*Members are pressured to give ongoing confession and self-denigration.
*Members have excessive financial obligations to Dobbs.

It’s not as bad as it looks. You get used to it after a while.
