Anyone can create a rumor and accusation. There need be no evidence or witnesses or any truth to the rumor or accusation. It could be completely made up or a simple misunderstanding.

Because of this, I don't put much stock into "rumors." I would require witnesses or proof before it would cause me to do something like leave that church.
