Sister do not get dragged into the uneducated circle of young boys. I don't have much advice, I openly acknowledge I am not a very good Muslim myself but stick to learning from people with knowledge. You would never learn microbiology from someone who didn't study it? You would never learn physics from someone who didn't study it and you certainly would not learn philosophy from a farmer.
Stick to trusting the people with the knowledge, 10 - 15 years knowledge and they've mastered the Quran and the hadiths and all aspects of Islam.
All knows our intentions and our hearts
P.S About the documents being forged. File a freedom of information request with the U.S government and you'll get his entire court case, his mug-shot photo and the details of his arrest. This was in 1996 when he wasn't delusional and there was no need to forge these papers. He fled to Yemen where he was ultimately killed by a hellfire missile. The proof is there sister, it's just whether or not people actually want to find it.
Even if you only follow one scholar, I highly advise Muhammad al-Yaqoubi. He is a Syrian and a direct descendent of the prophet saw.
