The Book Of The SubGenius Lunatic Prophecies For The Coming Weird Times This is not the entire book of the SubGenius. Yes, it contains all the chapters, and most of the writings are here, but this simple Text file cannot contain nearly the amount of SLACK that the book has. I have type the whole thing, under the directive of "Bob" himself, so that you may gain some insight into the Church Of The SubGenius (TM) and then go out and by the book. This file also makes a handy reference when the book is in your excremeditation chambers, where it belongs. We, the Anonymous Scribes, realize that this file has been written without the consent of the publishers and "authors" of this fine book, namely His Greatness, The Sacred Scribe Of The SubGenius Church, The Reverend Ivan Stang, and therefore this file is illegal. We ask for forgiveness from This Holy Person, but we also know that this will generate book sales by bringing the Word O'Dobbs to the remote, hidden SubGenius who know nothing of their Inner Slack. So, I'm telling you. This file is not nearly as good as the Book and is actually an advertisement to sell the Book. To order the Book, either go to your nearest book store, or obtain it from the Foundation by writing to The Church Of The SubGenius P.O. Box 140306 Dallas, TX 75214 USA You can order the book for $11.95 + $3 S/H. There is also an order form at the end of this file, where you can find out how to receive ordainment and lots of other Holy Junk. When ordering from the Foundation, please mention That The Anonymous Scribes provided you with the information. This will help us in our case. "Bob" is looking out for us, but his perfect imperfection may cause him to forget us in a lawsuit. Also...Don't say WHERE you saw this file. The Book Of The SubGenius Sometimes a book goes too far. Sometimes...is NOW. First -- there was The Gilgamesh Then... The Bhagavad-Gita Then... The Torah, The New Testament, The Koran Then... The Book of Mormon, Dianetics, I'm OK you're OK. And now... ----------------------- THE BOOK OF THE SUBGENIUS ---------------------- THE BOOK YOU NOW HOLD IN YOUR HANDS COULD CREATE A NEW INQUISITION - A SELF-PERPETUATING FASCIST STATE THAT WILL LAST TO THE END OF HUMANITY - OR IT COULD BE THE FOUNDATION-STONE OF THE PROMISED KINGDOM OF PEACE AND HARMONY. WHICH WILL IT BE? --------------(How To Prosper In The Coming Weird Times)----------------- Yes, YOU can rape your own mind. YOU can finally relax in the safety of your own delusions. This epipastic for the brains of Epoptics, Beholders, and Initiates,works an authentic magician's spell that will drive OUT the foreign person- alities and id-demons. Protected by its own occult roots in the most extreme forms of para- and mech-psychology, it places the reader within a "shell" of Weird Phenomena which Must be used for good And evil. Its system of Mystik Correspondences' has already given SECRET POWER to the Church of the SubGenius - the world's first Industrial church, the prophesied End Times cult of screamers and laughers, scoffers, blasphemers mockers, sinners, and the last true holymen in America today. KEEP THIS BOOK NEAR YOU - in your pocket, your bathroom, your glove compartment. Study it. Memorize it. Find within its pages a NEW DIRECTION- a NEW WAY - a HIGHER yet LOWER REALITY - just as thousand before you have done! Copyright 1983 by THE SUBGENIUS FOUNDATION All Rights Reserved.

DO NOT ALLOW TO FALL INTO ENEMY HANDS WARNINGS & DISCLAIMERS: If you think there's nothing wrong with the world, don't buy this book; if you are offended by your own sick rage when viewing literature alien to your repressive behavior code, go ahead and Purchase the book, but DON'T read it. The Church of the SubGenius may drive you Crazy. The Roman Catholic Church had driven people crazy, Scientology has driven people crazy. So have Satanism, Islam, The Boy Scouts, the government of the United States, Judaism, traffic jams, LSD, the C.I.A., Taoism, kids, parents, TV, war, and peace. Some people drive themselves crazy. This Book will not drive Subgeniuses Crazy. It will supply them with the Slack they need to drive others crazy. Many idiots will object to this publication. The techniques and secrets revealed herein have been passed through the headquarters of many terror- ist organizations (including the FBI and CIA) for years. This knowledge will also enhance your professional capabilities and aid you in protect- ing against THEM, but it is not meant for the young or irresponsible. J.R. "BOB" Dobbs is endowed with the full range of ESP abilities.Although "Bob's" accuracy has never been questioned by previous "clients." no SacraMentalist can claim infallibility. With "Bob," especially, it is only a matter of time before he falters in a big way; he is farther from so-called "perfection" than most of us could be if we worked at it. Therefore, "Bob," his associates, promoters, empolyees, sponsors, agents, followers, and writers must disclaim all liability to all person or groups who act upon ESP impressions given by word of mouth, print, tele- IV DISCLAIMER & WARNINGS CONTINUED.... phone, film, tape, or holograph recording now or in the...the future.

No magical claims are made and medical problems should be attended by lic- ensed physicians. IGNORE THIS: FNORD: To practise and preach the same things is utter mad- ness. Sometimes communication must be made More Difficult and Irritating Than Necessary, in order to conve certain dangerous complexities. The knowledge must not fall into the wrong hands. "SCIENCE DOES NOT REMOVE THE TERROR OF THE GODS" The SubGenius knows that a Godlike alien space monster calling himself "Jchingh-1" Is watchig us and making us dance like cheap puppets for His own ends. he demand that we worship Him, and so we surely must. And if you say that the SubGenius is deceived, that there is no alien God of Wrath, then the SubGenius will attack YOU! you are wrong; we are right; WOTAN told us so and we believed it. Alright? Now roll over and go back to "sleep"...(By "God's Third Leg," you'd think these humans didn't know what religion was For!!) A note about the word "he" as an alneurpose pronoun: we use it because constantly saying "he or she," "s/he," or "it," sounds STUPID. However, notice also that while JHVH-1, God, Jesus, and a few others are called "He" with a capital H, "Bob" is merely a "he." These spellings are in accordnace with the express wishes of the respective deities. "Bob" de-deifies himself whenever possible to counterbalance the tendency of his followers to go overboard. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The Church is not responsible for the actions of individuals which may result from their mere possession of this Book.
