Post edited and thread locked. Takuya, if you want to post an informative thread letting people know that they may have been given false information about you, fine, but to attack the integrity of other members in doing so is gossip. In the case of one of these members YOU could well have started a rumor by saying that he/she likely spread false information about you when you have no definite evidence to base these accusations on. This was not an appropriate way to handle this matter.
Also, if anyone reading this thread has in fact spread rumors about Takuya, I want to challenge that behavior by giving you a verse to contemplate.
Proverbs 20:19--
"A gossip betrays a confidence;
so avoid a man who talks too much."
Do you want to be someone that people should avoid because you talk too much? Or do you want to be someone who people know they can go to to be uplifted? I would strongly encourage anyone involved in this to apologize to Takuya and to the people who they may have spread this rumor to, for not choosing to be uplifting in their conversation.
Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.
Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.
Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight;
Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight;
Thou my soul’s Shelter, Thou my high Tower:
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.
Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.
High King of Heaven, my victory won,
May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.
