I can see your aura and it's ugly
Your spirit must be rotten to the core
And to a new-age guy like me
It just means pain and misery
So baby I can't love you any more.

Author: `Rapture' will be on Sept. 1
------------------------------------
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - A retired NASA engineer who predicted that the
beginning of the end of the world would occur in 1988 now says his forecast was
off by one year.
Edgar Whisenant said born-again Christians will be taken up into heaven Sept. 1
in the "rapture."
Whisenant, 56, created a stir last year with the publication of "88 Reasons Why
the Rapture Will Be in 1988." He estimated that he and the World Bible Society
here gave away or sold about 4.5 million copies of the booklet. "The Final
Shout--Rapture '89 Report" is to be released this week, he said.
-----
So, does anyone know the address of the World Bible Society? It's not in
_High Weirdness By Mail_.

There is garbage out of food-water-TV-radios-books-newspapers in
America - mental and physical cancers are made out of living and
children everyday.
1776
Why don't world governments and every state in America do what
Father Flanagan did - build a boystown and save world children.
Easy to do if governments are not parasites.
Dictators and sick value free with their own kind would die
with *sickness-cancers and wars* - why build them in any way.
There would not be any governments if governments had to prove
themselves what governments allow.
Duty-honor-country and legally-morally correct to destroy
business and government parasites
1776 - America minutemen watchmen not Washington DC Columbia
parasites statues - Valley Forge reminders not decorators
in every state in America - 1776
Big people are parasites not children
When is America going to have a school of morals for lawyers.
Why are world governments not self supporting Boy Scouts or
better
1776
Bankruptcy signature law is a sick devil cancer parasite
business and government and are *accessories* to crimes against
every age and create martyrs and wars.
Minimum wage governments and people - only good working
conditions needed not parasites = work clothes-work shoes
America not sick mirrors
Living creatures have to be killed every day = best of medicine
if possible - self control - medicine ground floor planet not
snake pits out of living or material
B{B 1776
No money schools - no useless studies halfday in factory -
halfday in school. Everyone gets an equal chance - no
government parasite tax or salary.
Big people are parasites not children.

Subject: Todd Rundgren
Todd Rundgren, the noted rock musician, Macintosh programmer, and SubGenius
mole, will be on "Rockline," the nationally-broadcast live radio call-in show
on Monday, June 12th, at 11:30 EDT. Rockline's phone number is (800) 344-
ROCK(7625). I will call and try and ask him (1) about the Church of the
SubGenius(see if we can't get Todd to put the Sacred Brag out over the air)
and (2) about his innovative Mac operating system and visual art software.
I don't know for sure, but I suspect a lone caller(me) has a better chance than
hundreds of us. So let me give it my best shot, ok? Call them to find out
what station it's on in your area. Any suggestions for(leading) questions?
Sincerely,
The Rev

I'm having some ``Time Control'' watches made (with the face of ``Bob'' on
the ``face'' of the watch). If you want one let me know...

Delayed by a bagbiting mailer...
I read somewhere that people who did the flying double-gainer into
cults (not, of course, including the Church(TM)) were never "disturbed
youths" or anybody else who showed the slightest signs of
SubGenius-hood. They were very Pink, and had just swapped one version
of Pinkness for another. So I guess "deprogramming" is just swapping
cult-Pinkness for normal-Pinkness.
Yuck.
