The Church of the SubGenius has announced that the end of the world will take place in just over one month, on Sunday, July 5, 2009. In preparation for the fulfillment of this doomsday prophecy, the Church has issued a call to all of its members, to participate in a festival with rock concerts and blasphemous rituals taking place in upstate New York, during the final weekend before the arrival of the apocalypse.
The Church of the SubGenius is a popular organization often seen as a "parody" of religious cults, including Scientology, the Raelians, the Unification Church, and racist hate gro
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.

Hello, legions of Anonymous. We are the Church of the SubGenius.
Over the years, we have been watching you. We were there when you were born amid the festering pits of 4chan, eBaum's World, and Something Awful. We were there when you took down Hal Turner. We were there when you became a force to be reckoned with. We were there when you declared war on the Church of Scientology. With the introduction and acceptance of Anonymous into mainstream media, your actions to expose the world to abnormality, anti-censorship, individuality, rebellion, dissent, and outright pornography have come to our attention. The Church of the SubGenius has therefore decided to issue the following invitation to Anonymous:
X-DAY IS COMING.
The Church of the SubGenius extends an invitation for Anonymous to gather with us this coming July in New York, to await The Rupture: the arrival at 7 AM, July 5th, of the Escape Vessels of the Alien Sex Goddesses, and the final fulfillment of the prophecy of our founder and leader, J.R. "Bob" Dobbs.
X-Day is an opportunity for members of Anonymous to gather under the auspices of the Church of the SubGenius, pay for their SubGenius ordainments, and thereby benefit from our guarantee of ETERNAL SALVATION OR TRIPLE YOUR MONEY BACK. It is worth noting that the annual X-Day celebration is a wild, adults-only outdoor rock-and-roll party that makes the 4chan /b/ Party Van seem like child's play in comparison.
(It is also worth noting that many SubGenii are already among the ranks of Anonymous. When Anonymous was out in the streets on February 10th and March 15th, we were there among you.)
Anonymous is invited to attend X-Day, in order to gather and take a breather from the Scientology wars in true Anonymous fashion. Attendees at X-Day are encouraged to remain anonymous, not to reveal their "human" names, and to disguise their identities. Random /b/ behavior is encouraged -- as long as participants don't sully the Slack of other celebrants attending the festival.
Because Scientology will undoubtedly make note of this message, we realize there will be attempts by RTC and OSA to infiltrate X-Day in order to dig up "dirt" on Anonymous. We are prepared for this, and we encourage Anonymous to participate in several "Spot The Hidden Scientologist" events that will be planned for the festival. (Please note that live human bonfires are forbidden until AFTER the Xists arrive.)
When "Bob's" prophecy is fulfilled and the true SubGenii depart this world on the Escape Vessels, the chosen legions of Anonymous (or at least the ones who join us on our holy pilgrimage) shall be there with us. But until then, we offer you Slack. We offer you support. And we offer you the opportunity to gather and party with your fellow Anons, in a place far away from so-called "civilization" dominated by the Conspiracy of the Normals.
We are the Church of the SubGenius. We are among you. We are unexpected. # 'em if they can't take a joke. Praise "Bob."

The Church is incorporated as a profit-making enterprise, and declares itself to be "the only religion that is proud to pay its taxes." Anyone can become an ordained SubGenius minister by paying a fee of $30 US for a lifetime membership. No other requirement is laid upon prospective members, though the cost of ordination separates the Church from the Universal Life Church and other paper churches that offer ordination to all comers. The Church of the SubGenius is known for a standing offer that stems from the ordainment fee: "Eternal Salvation or TRIPLE Your Money Back!" The organization claims that if an ordained SubGenius minister dies and finds himself standing at the gates of "Normal" or "Boring" Hell, he will be personally greeted by Church founder J. R. "Bob" Dobbs Himself and receive a refund check for $90.00, along with a booklet titled, "How to Enjoy Hell for Five Cents an Eternity," which costs $89.95.[7]
