The following Wikipedia contributor may be personally or professionally connected to the subject of this article. Relevant policies and guidelines may include conflict of interest, autobiography, and neutral point of view.
There are several controversial, POV statements in the article, such as "devout", "arrested", "false", "his mission", "often", and "private". There is no way of checking the veracity of these statements from public sources. The word "first", used twice, must be verified from a NPOV source. "Work often draws on" needs a neutral review.

In case anyone finds this notable, I thought I'd point out that my memoir The Accidental Terrorist: Confessions of a Reluctant Missionary has been published this month by Sinister Regard in New York City. It recounts my adventures as a Mormon missionary in 1986 and 1987, culminating with my arrest, conviction, and expulsion from Canada.
