The Church of the SubGenius has announced that the end of the world will take place on Sunday, July 5, 2009.



FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CLEVELAND, Ohio, January 2, 2009: The Church of the SubGenius has announced that the end of the world will take place on Sunday, July 5, 2009. In preparation for the fulfillment of this doomsday prophecy, the Church is requesting that all of its members participate in a bizarre religious ceremony taking place in upstate New York, during the final weekend before the arrival of the apocalypse.

Since its inception in 1953, Church founder J.R. "Bob" Dobbs has predicted that a fleet of flying saucers will arrive at the beginning of July to destroy the worldwide Conspiracy against the Church of the SubGenius, while all ordained SubGenius ministers will be rescued by escape vessels piloted by the Alien Sex Goddesses, also known as the Xists.

The Church is inviting all of its members worldwide to gather together for the final hours in Sherman, New York from Wednesday, July 1 to Sunday, July 5, at a clothing-optional outdoor campground called Brushwood Folklore Center. The first gathering at this compound took place in 1996, and the event has increased in size and participants each following year. 1998 was designated the first true "X-Day," and each successive year has added one to the total. This year's celebration in 2009 is X-Day 12, or X-Day XII.

The Church has been engaged in a massive recruitment campaign to increase the numbers of its membership before the arrival of the Xists. According to Church records, the organization currently has approximately 100,000 members worldwide. SubGenius recruitment has been especially dedicated among the ranks of people who refuse to conform to the norms of society, including disbelievers, blasphemers, pranksters, rebels, hackers, pornographers, geeks, and outcasts.

The Church is seeking underground bands, indie rockers, performance artists, and performers and producers from the adult entertainment industry, because sexual freedom has been an important part of Church doctrine from the start. X-Day will be a celebration of free expression, performance art, rock and roll, pornography, and adult entertainment; and certain parts of the event will be restricted to adults only. Only ordained ministers of the Church of the SubGenius are allowed at the event, but the Church is accepting memberships at its standard rate of $30 up until the final hours of July 4.

The Church of the SubGenius has been no stranger to controversy since its foundation, and the upcoming X-Day celebration promises to be no different. In the late 1980s, members of the Church were accused of spreading a virus in Macintosh computers known as the "Peace Virus." Numerous articles have been written on the Church in such noteworthy publications as the New York Times, Washington Post, Wired Online, Boston Globe, U.S. News and World Report; and broadcast reports have been produced by CNN and NPR. In April 1999, officials of the city of Cambridge, Massachusetts shut down an official SubGenius Devival gathering in the belief that the Church was affiliated with the Trenchcoat Mafia (the organization blamed for the Columbine high school shootings), though authorities later realized the association was mistaken. In its January 1, 2000 issue, a Time magazine poll declared J.R. "Bob" Dobbs the biggest fraud of the 20th century.

The Church received additional media attention in 2006 when one of its high-ranking members, known in SubGenius circles as Reverend Mary Magdalen, became involved in a legal battle for custody of her son due to her membership in the Church. This case has been covered in such popular online sites as Boing Boing, Fark, and Wikinews (Wikipedia's news reporting service).

In 2008, the notorious hacker collective known as ANONYMOUS took up the cause of the Church of the SubGenius, and many of the alleged "hackers on steroids" were among the attendees at its Brushwood festival. In an astounding case of the pot calling the kettle black, representatives of the Church of Scientology have accused the Church of the SubGenius of being "a dangerous UFO cult," and SubGenius members (and SubGenius memes) have been among the ranks of "Anonymous" since its war against Scientology began.

Photographers, entertainers, production companies, radio broadcasters, and all media producers are encouraged to contact the Church at its Cleveland, Ohio headquarters at 1-216-320-9528.

Now that sounds interesting!

These folks remind me a bit of the Heaven's Gate/Jonestown folks. I certainly hope their big party won't end in mass suicide.

[dagon]

that's been my thinking on this. I noticed a lot of exposure of cults in the media lately as well. we will probably see more of this in the next few years.

but seriously folks. all this reading is getting me thirsty.

kool- aid anybody?


I know I need to come from love. but you got to laugh once in a while.

[Dantheman62]

bwahaha, and did you notice it's clothing optional at the party?, and it's over the 4th of July weekend, and all the ministers are going to be picked up in rescue ships by alien sex goddesses. hmmm

[futureyes]

when i was growing up there was a family living up the street, their father spoke of the world ending, that his church(?) "said so", and that they were to make preparations ...

after all preparations were complete, he took his family (wife and four kids) up onto the roof of their home and waited for the great event, all neighbours watched this unfold ...

and they waited, and they waited ... waited ... waited ....

they might still be up there now!

it was entertaining for everyone else anyhow, their poor mother though never made an outside appearance for quite some time ...

and the father, he stopped going to church ...

C'mon guys, get some perspective! If the choice is this, Annunaki Reptilians or the Luciferian NWO, sign me up! Sounds like the kind of party where the world could end and most people wouldn't notice, or at least go out with a smile on their faces!

I'm off to spell out "Welcome Alien Sex Goddesses" on my roof with fairy lights.
