Well Jah may have let all those ones get away with serious stuff (even murder),
but according to the org, us "apostates" have committed the "unforgivable" sin!

Manasseh
We all remember David, but it takes two to tango, so...Bathsheba. And not only did God let it slide, he rewarded it by making Bathsheba part of the lineage to the Messiah.

Jacob
He stole the blessing reserved for the firstborn son.
Jacob was not an unreserved worshiper of Yahweh: Genesis 28:20-21
The flocks conceiving in front of the poles (Genesis 30:39) has reference to the concept of the pagan asherah poles, before which worshipers had sex.

Adam and Eve were supposed to die "that day."
Cain was able to live an entire life after killing his brother.
Lot got drunk and had sex with his daughter, then did it again the next night with the other daughter. (Somehow, he was too drunk to know who he was screwing, but not so drunk that he couldn't get it to rise to the occasion without Viagra.) These are the same daughters who were virgins that Lot offered to the rape mob in Sodom, so Lot took their virginity away.
Job should have spit at the very mention of God after He allowed his children to be killed and asked Job who the hell he was to question God. (Fits the Kiss-Ass types that the GB likes)
Joseph's brothers sold him into slavery.
Judah had sex with his daughter-in-law when he thought she was a prostitute. (I guess she was for a day.) Yet Judah's son, Onan, was instructed prior to have relations with that same woman (Onan's widowed sister-in-law) to produce offspring and Onan pulled out and let his "seed" go to waste on the ground in a form of protest (might have to do with inheritance also) so God had Onan killed. Judah was forgiven.
Shechem had premarital sex with Jacob’s daughter Dinah, which angered Jacob’s sons. Shechem and his father, Hamor, agreed to circumcision for the men in the city in order for Shechem to marry Dinah and make Jacob’s other daughters eligible for the men of the city. Three days later, while the men were still enduring the pain of circumcision, Jacob’s sons attacked the unsuspecting city, killing Shechem and Hamor with swords, looting the city, seizing the flocks, herds, possessions and wealth, plundering the houses and carrying off their women and children.
Moses bent over backwards to please God but did some vague thing about not giving credit to God for some water out of a rock or some stupid thing like that, so he made one little mistake and was left alone in the desert to die, yet somehow it was written down what happened to him by someone else who wasn't there. His brother, Aaron made a giant gold idol for false worship but was put in charge of the priesthood.
King David did some terrible things, but it is good to be king. Heck, they even found a beautiful virgin (Abishag) to lay down with him every night in his old age to keep him warm. Why the heck did she have to be a beautiful virgin? But that was after all the death and mayhem in his life.
After all the other power struggles for acquiring Kingship from King David, after all the other brothers were dead, Solomon had a power struggle with his older brother, Adonijah (older as in should-be-next-king) and Solomon had Adonijah executed to seal his own kingship. Solomon goes on to be considered the wisest person ever and prefigures Jesus.
Elisha cursed several children for calling him "Baldie" and had a bear maul them to death.
And one for the New Testament: Peter denied knowing Jesus.
