Background:
When Olin R. Moyle wrote his letter of resignation to J.F. Rutherford in 1939 he really hit the Judge's nerve. For those who haven't read Moyle's letter, it can be viewed here:
Rutherford's reaction to Moyle's letter was to publicly defame Moyle before the Bethel family and in the columns of the Watchtower magazine. Moyle eventually sued the Watchtower Society and was awarded $15,000 in 1943. A good overview of the Moyle story is up at Wikipedia:

Moyle was also named and condemned at an International Assembly of JWs. Recently, on another thread started by RR, someone quoted this statement from the September 15, 1941 Watchtower pages 285-286, describing a resolution adopted against Moyle at the 1941 Assembly of Jehovah's Witnesses in St Louis, Missouri. This was the last convention directed by Judge Rutherford before he died:
This same day a sharp judgment of the great Lawgiver against
the "evil servant" class (Matt. 24:48-51) was expressed at the
beginning of the afternoon’s sessions. An ex-army officer of the
United States appeared on the platform and asked and was granted
the privilege to present a Resolution concerning one Moyle.
Said lawyer proved unfaithful to his position of trust in theLord’s organization, slandered and abused the Bethel family at
Brooklyn, quit his post of duty, and thereafter sued the Society
and its board of directors and others for $100,000 for libel because
the facts were published in The Watchtower for the protection
of Jehovah’s witnesses throughout the land. The Resolution
condemned such course of action and such recourse to worldly
courts as unscriptural, unwarranted and unjustified. Put to a
vote, the Resolution was adopted with a unanimous "Aye" by the
vast assembly of more than 75,000. Thereafter copies of the
Resolution were given free to all, to take home with them.
I made the comment on that thread that I'd really like to read this resolution, which as far as I know has never been published elsewhere. I was contacted by a lurker on this Forum who offered to send me a copy of this Resolution from their personal collection and given permission to share it here at JWN. With help from Atlantis this Resolution along with documentation is available as a PDF.
For those interested, the PDF of the Resolution from the 1941 St Louis Convention condemning Moyle can be downloaded from this filesharing site:

Again, thanks to both my lurker friend and also to Atlantis for help in producing this PDF!
