How to post and e-mail anonymousely
The "Church" of Scientology is famous for harassing their critics and defectors, and even their families and friends (indirect pressure). Many ex-Scientologists have stories about abuse and how the group pressure and fright of personal information being released, prevented them from blowing or going public with their inside information. Many also feel embarrassed when they learn the truth about the organization they donated money and a lot of their life to. For some fighting back is part of the "therapy" to recover and get back to a normal life in society, while others just want to put their time in CoS behind them and start fresh. Both could need someone to talk to, someone with similar experiences. For their own recovery and to warn others who might repeat their errors if not warned in time.
We are therefore faced with the challenge of providing channels for these people to get in communications with others out there that are able and willing to help. This is a difficult task since history shows us that CoS will do anything to sabotage this. There is reason to look specially out for those OSA-agents who are very often ´fishing´ for names of leaving people.

Hotmail embeds the IP address of the sender in every message. For hotmail to be (relatively) safe, at a minimum, one must create the account and send the email from a public computer (library or internet cafe) - and when using this, one must pay cash and be anonymous. |
Newsgroups and message boards are usually public places where one can post to different
groups and reply to posts made by others. Most are grouped by subject.
A re-mailer is computer service that privatizes your e-mail. A re-mailer allows you to send
electronic mail to a Usenet news group or to a person without the recipient knowing your name
or your e-mail address. To date, all popular re-mailers are free-of-charge. Read more in

Chatting is when you communicate with others in real-time using the keyboard. The defenitely
most popular method is using Internet Relay Chat

mIRC. To hide your identity on IRC you should
consult with the manuals provided with the IRC software you choose.

automatically log your IP address which can point back to you. An anonymizing service
or using a publicly accessable Internet computer could solve this. Click
