Question—does anyone know...?
by careful inmost here are familiar with the history of the child abuse issue.
one past policy the org had was forbidding parents to report the child abuser to police or warn other parents in the congregation of the abuser.
they used to threaten dfing if such parents disobeyed the org in this matter.

Help needed finding an old WT article
by careful ini no longer trust the search engine at the official jw website since they have quietly modified, purged, and expunged—or simply made no longer available—so many old works/pubs., so i'm asking for help finding an old article that likely predates the late 1970s (?).
i think it was an article rather than in a book, but i can't be sure.
the article's focus was on what it means for the anointed to be declared righteous.. it's important, i suspect, for grasping the view that whatever the gb decide is completely god-directed, so that, in effect, even though the org might officially deny it, the gb are viewed as infallible in practical terms.
