I am looking for examples of where the WTS has misquoted or misrepresented different ‘worldly authorities’ or sources in their publications. If anyone can point me to web sites that have this info or if you personally have found items I would love to have it. I have a lot of non-referenced quotes, a huge no no in academia, that I am researching to find the original source. This of course is difficult when the accuracy of the ‘quote’ is in question.
Anyhow, any help would be great.
Using Google I would check on the topics of creation and the trinity in relation to the WT to find misquotes from outside sources. Some examples.

Misquotes in Watchtower Publications
The Watchtower and the Ante-Nicene Church Fathers by Michael J. Partyka. This is an in-depth article that has the full source quotes of the partial quotes used in the brochure Should you Believe the Trinity (1989) . In each case it is readily apparent that the Watchtower Society has distorted what the early Church Fathers were attempting to say.
