look at Amelia's response - do you think you might have made mistake in your assumption of the differences between NGO's?
In any case did you completely miss the point of Witness My Fury's post? A cleaner employed by a casino wouldn't need to agree with the aims of their employer, but it would still be considered a gross sin. Now think about that in the context of NGOs
For me it was never really the issue about the type of NGO. If they had signed up to say they wanted a seat in the Council and then realised the error of their ways I would have overlooked this if they had just come right out and said to EVERYONE associated with them "we made a mistake - it was wrong, we did it, but we're repentant" (i.e. exactly what a sinner would need to say to a JC).
But who among JWs knows about this whole issue?
I asked my best JW friend whether she knew about it a few weeks ago. She didn't. Then the other day she admitted it had totally shaken her up but the bottom line is that she "knows it's the truth". She didn't say how she knows it's the truth and I didn't ask her as it's between her and Jehovah I guess. I suspect you have the same reasoning.
The bottom line for me is that a little transparency goes a long way to build trust. Unfortunately the religion we are associated with is anything but transparent but will be quick to make excuses when caught out. Compare that with how a JC would expect to see works that befit repentance from someone accused of a gross sin.
