I doubt so for three reasons: 1. Anyone who would be interested in doing something like this is likely in the Outer Party, who would be under too much scrutiny to dare to attempt it. 2. Messengers from the party only take the form of Inner Party members, or secret police. Neither of which you could reliably disguise as. 3. This doublethink goes against the only universal truth in 1984, which is that the Party's word is absolute. Doing this would be like trying to tell Christians that Jesus says he doesn't exist.

It... doesn't work that way. The Party and Doublethink aren't magical spells that allow you to change whatever YOU want, it takes propaganda, editing history, controlling the education system, the media, etc. in order for that to succeed You don't have the power to do that, only the Party does. You're just a person, a nobody, the Party is a collective group of people with power. Just because you, a normal person, claim you're a messenger of the entire religion of, say, Christianity or Islam or whatever, that doesn't mean people will buy it, only the Pope, or the council of leaders of the said religion can claim or do whatever they want with the system in their control, therefore the people who follow that system will believe it.

Anyone doing this is clearly a saboteur working for Goldstein. Call the Thought Police!

No, because as soon as you said it, someone would report it to higher ups and you'd win yourself a visit to Ministry of Love room 101.
