This is Feelings not Murder.

I still can't get around the fact that Christ has taught us to forgive these kinds of things. If we want justice then we will be held to justice and I don't want that. We had a saying when I was in the Army that went "We may not get what we want, and we may not get what we need, so long as we don't get what we deserve".

Held accountable how? Have you figured out what kind of resolution would suit you. Nothing will be accomplished in seeking a pound of flesh. My wife was harassed by one of our Bishopric to the point of tears every time he found her in the hallways during class at our ward. She was a primary worker so there was a lot of hallway time in her calling. I had to stay with in eye sight of her to stop him which meant I was hanging in the hall most of the time. If I was around he left her alone. He finally moved away and we got over it. Do you want them publicly ostracized, excommunicated, or what?

Church leaders are just people. They may have more responsibilities but they are prone to the same mistakes as anyone else. They may actually be prone to more frequent and bigger mistakes than than others without the same level of responsibility as a matter of exposure. I have found that forgiving an injustice leads to a far better state of mind for me and my family than seeking some sort of undefined justice. When I see members stand on justice they generally become bitter and do themselves more harm than good.

I am owed many apologies that I will never receive and I am sure that I owe at least as many. I do not let that stand in the way of my progress and neither should you or your Bride. The Gospel is true and people are flawed. These are facts. Get over the flawed people to continue your progression. This will not be the last time you will be hurt by someone....I Guarantee It.
