If I have to live a double life I might as well play the double agent.
and remember sock puppets are your friends. No need to keep the same handle wherever you go.

Some anon advice:
Take care to hide your identity online. OSA is reading these boards. The number of scientologists on lines is actually quite small. The number married to a wog is smaller yet. You are not untraceable. If OSA finds out who you are, your relationship will be in very rocky water.
Though you have taken steps to hide your and your partners identity, small things, even your writing style give you away (see e.g. http://www.ehow.com/info_8001121_difference-male-female-writing-styles.html ). I am fairly certain I can tell your gender, and I am no expert.
You can edit out details of your posts. OSA is understaffed and slow these days, they may not have gotten around to read this thread yet. If you can't edit yourself, ask a moderator to help you.
You can make more than one user name and use them both ("sockpuppeting"). This may help dispersing clues.
Good luck!
They only seem to take action now when people threaten their income stream directly.
A spouse who is anti-scientology can threaten their income stream directly.
OSA is not the bugbear it once was. They only seem to take action now when people threaten their income stream directly.
Never hurts to be careful, but hiding from them is also absurd.
Sockpuppetry here gets you the boot.
I'm sitting here reading EMSB (in google incognito) while my scn mate is fiddling around the kitchen. The phone rings and it's the org. We need people to respond to the NYT review of a book. They did a terrible review - just rehashing all the old lies without citing sources yada yada yada.
S/he tells me they need help. Oh dear, I say, that's terrible. Let me look up the article, is it a new book?
Well, shit, I say, it's not those things at all. It's an interview with the author. It's about his process. Other things he's written. Names some sources for this book. Talks about what he's up to next.
S/he called the org back. It's not a review, s/he says. I'm sitting here with Blanky who looked it up. NO! I didn't read it. NO! I didn't look at it. Oh, you want me to send the response where? Let me write that down.
My spouse is NOT supposed to read the article. Nor even go to the NYT site to post a response. S/he is to write the "usual" atheist, bigoted, poorly researched and send it to [email protected]. (I think, it was a fairly quick convo) I had a small hissy and insisted s/he needs to at least read what the article said before writing a response. It's completely bogus to write a response to something you haven't read and that is not what you've been told. <sigh> I even offered to read it to her. S/he nearly ran from the room.
I'm a little... no, a lot, sickened. S/he's writing a lying, bogus response right now.
Blanky
I think he woefully short changed Scn. It is about cults generally - the first book is mostly about Moonies because he talks about himself so much. He has one sentence in one of the books about bullbaited TR's when he talks about thought stopping. If you grew up in a Christian Fundie cult, it could be something you had in your personal library to help decompress.

Steve's a good guy and a great resource. He was a guest in my home in 1998. I spent some time in his office in Boston (Somerville) back in 1999. He's highly critical of $cn w/o a doubt! He totally gets the creepy nature unique to $cn. But yes he's an educator of all different kinds of abusive sects too.
The org has already tried to break up their marriage a few years before based on nothing more than a couple of comments.
Two comments, exactly. Apparently the god given right to express opinions is more of a guideline than a tenet. It was a long time ago but some of the same people are still around. I've always been certain there's a file on me somewhere.
