The Watchtower, “The Path of the Righteous Does Keep Getting Brighter”
“At times explanations given by Jehovah's visible organization have shown adjustments, seemingly to previous points of view. But this has not actually been the case. This might be compared to what is known in navigational circles as 'tacking.'”
Uses Proverbs 4:18 ('the path of the righteous ... getting lighter') to frame doctrinal reversals as progress.
