anger as meant by indignation, hold on to it ... forgiveness without acknowledgment and repentance, no
Should we still be angry with the Watchtower? Should we "forgive" the WT?

It's "REAL" people hiding behind the WT-Corporation that are accountable!
- No forgiveness or mercy should be applied to those that KNOW they are doing wicked acts and refuse to make changes. I'm sure someone can be found to cast the first stone---THEN LET GOD SORT IT OUT!!!**
Let me put in in words again... these are real people HIDING behind a corporation with "CRIMINAL" LAWYERS (pos) protecting them.- Same fate need to apply to them as well. And I'm sure there are more that will cast the first stone at this group (lawyers) POS--can't live with them or without them! OR CAN WE?**
- ** After all if we are bound by some of the "old law covenant" then we are bound by all of the law
- **Of course this action this should be in a non-violent manner (Symbolic)
- Did I miss why you feel they deserve forgiveness?
- Was there an action of repentance?

This is what forgiveness and reconciliation look like.

On my good days, I put them out of my mind.
On my bad days, it is an evil corporation.
I try to keep it on the good foot. Whenever I can I warn others to stay away.
Life is a journey and the Watchtower agency is like spiritual day care, before one goes to kindergarden
before one goes to grade school, middle school, high schooll, college, doctorate.

Good analogy, Terry.
I would only add that the WTS employed coercion to force our continued investment of the most precious resource we had - time.
For many of us born-ins, that time given in service of the WTS's interests, was at the expense of education, experience, and important life choices.

LLAMACOOL:
How do you forgive a deceptive religious organization? This latest issue about the child molestation lawsuit(s) is just a big blemish on its face and is indicative of the deeper problems that run through the whole thing and cannot be ignored in my opinion.
The whole thing stinks and this is the end result of years of ridiculous policies and collective denial in their fantasy world!

I could be wrong, but isn't forgiveness contingent upon repentance?

Forgiveness has nothing to do with the other person or whether they change or not. It has to do with your own healing and moving on. Also, just because you forgive doesnt mean you stop trying to right the wrongs.
