In this Yahoo Answers quesiton JW apologists are trying to give the impression that the Watchtower never published any information about parents fondling the genitals of their infants leading to masturbation later on. The JW apologists claims vary from saying it's not true to accusing the questioner and one ex-JW answerer of not having proof and being untrustworthy with the truth.
I want to provide proof to the contrary but the online library doesn't go have magaizes as far back as 1973 when the article was published. I think that the best proof would be a screenshot of the Watchtower library open to the article with the statement highlighted. I think there's a way to get the image uploaded to a site then you link to the site and then the image shows up as in the post. But I don't have the knowledge. Can someone with the Watchtower library post a link to an uploaded image of the library open to:

"Did you know, for example, that mothers and fathers who stroke the genitals of their fretful babies to keep them quiet are unwittingly encouraging them to become masturbators later on? Boys and girls may start to play with their private parts during puberty and, not receiving any counsel against this, the first thing they know they are “hooked” on the habit."
