According to the MO letters listed on this site, Ban the Bomb was published in March, 1983. As I wasn't in TF in '86 I have no way of knowing whether or not the child abuse tract really did come out that year.
All that to say, it looks like I "missed out" on the Family of Love era, and by '89 it seems that those wild days, for the most part, were either over or really winding down depending on the area.
