 One major source of distorted reality surrounding the current Messenger
comes from a very angry, fanatical, disabled, divorced, ex-member that lives in
Livingston named Peter Arnone. I have had conversations with Arnone and found
he lives to criticize the current Messenger with all sorts of mis-guided
notions about reality and unresolved personal psychological issues. It is
unfortunate because I really kind of like Arnone. He seems nice enough to
direct his energy in worth-while endeavors and really do the world some good!
