The lawyer for the complainant (BCG) named Ms. David was getting quite exasperated. Quite a contrast to the cool and smooth Mr. Stewart. But the important thing is that they're not letting de Rooy get away with much.

Oy, the notes clearly state that the father had abused the younger daughters and the older one BCG, the testimony was given by the mom... there's the two witnesses and if they had asked the little ones it would have been four witnesses.
But de Rooy doesn't recall that.

It looks like the WT lawyer sitting behind Mr. Stewart just did a discreet facepalm

Judge asks him, but the civil courts can act with just the word of one witness, were you aware of that?
Nope, he wasn't! What a doof!

de Rooy says he was sickened by the allegations, but... he has no recollection of what these allegations were.
And since there was "only one witness" it was one's word against another. Good grief!

Monty Baker hasn't given testimony yet.
============================
de Rooy is getting grilled and roasted.
A repentant incest/child abuser is reproved and goes back to his home, the elders don't report the crime and the abuser remains at home with the abused. Ron de Rooy admits this is true, the elders don't report but would prefer that the accused go to the authorities.

Horley Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses UK (disbanded)
by konceptual99 indoes anyone in the uk know any details about the above congregation?
it seems it was disbanded by the co specifically because of "lack of love" and members reassigned to other congregations in the reigate and crawley areas.. i've checked the charities commission web site and the charity was removed in may 2012.. http://apps.charitycommission.gov.uk/showcharity/registerofcharities/removedcharitymain.aspx?registeredcharitynumber=1066699&subsidiarynumber=0.
the cobe was a guy called rossiter (sp?

May be they lacked the love for contributing to the society.
Good one!
With the publishers being spread about on to other congregations it would follow that the rumor mill would quickly tell the tale and spread the gossip all around the circuit and beyond.
This is certainly an unusual reason to disband a congregation, "lack of love". I'd be interested as well in learning what the real situation in the congregation was that lead to this conclusion.

I'm in your same situation. To me the fact that my wife puts the views, words, and opinions of a any JW elder above mine on anything not just those things related to religion and belief is almost a form of adultery.
Remember the Scripture about the three thong cord that wouldn't easily be torn in two? Well, the WT's added itself in as a forth thong, and it's chaffing my bum, because this thong is continually getting frizzly frazzled, irritated and progressively becoming irrelevantly redundant in this marriage relationship.
The marriage vows I spoke were to my wife before God, and they didn't include the WT. How the heck do they dare butt into my marriage relationship and steal away my wife's soul, this brazen, butt-faced, marriage-wrecking Cult!

I've never heard of a congregation being disbanded for "lack of love". But... Maybe it was lack of love for the Gobbering Body and its traveling representatives.
