Rutherford's smear campaign (a must read)
by Leolaia inthere has been some interest recently about the moyle case, and how it may have set a precident in what became the society's disfellowshipping policy.
in july 1939, the chief legal counsel of the watchtower bible & tract society, olin r. moyle, resigned from his position in a protest over conditions at bethel and rutherford's mistreatment of workers.
he did not want to continue living under those conditions and he felt he could effect positive change for his brothers by taking such a stand.

Your mileage may vary, but to me there's an important difference between RF and
Moyle:R. Franz was originally a sincere missionary--not the kind you'd make a GB
member no matter how much a beloved nephew. He was taught by 4-5 yrs. research
staff to be in on the con (including about deaths of people and their kids over
the blood policies) (or he was a dumb researcher, which he wasn't) and agreed to
tell the same lies before being accepted into the meetings of the leaders 8-9
yrs. (His own version has him realize the con at the end of those 8-9 yrs.,
which my own research tells me is impossible and isn't how a scam is done.) He
made waves over things like wanting 607 changed to 587 as though to put his stamp
on GB leadership.He put up with two extra efforts to get rid of him like they were unusual dark
clouds that might pass over and hoped they'd take him back into the GB, not
because he was still one of the chumps--that ended 15 yrs. before.Moyle on the other hand was still the sincere missionary who complained like
one (too much cursing, drinking, and worldly pursuits) but, unlike most followers,
had gotten to know too much about the little group at the top, whom he then an-
noyed like someone's Mom at a stag party. He put up with too much abuse hoping
other followers would see how good he was till he gave up the ghost.In either case, they knew too much about the top so extra effort was made to
tell the customers to not listen to them. -

"Did he form his own little bible study group?"
In his later years, he became one of the leaders of the United Israel World
Union, a movement that sought to convert people, particularly Christians, to
Judaism. Moyle became involved with David Horowitz and the work of the United
Israel World Union, formed in 1944 to "preach a universal Hebraic faith for all
humankind."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olin_R._Moyle"Indeed that letter has imo the first signs of real questioning about the
Society, though he still affirmed its authority; now he seems to consider more
openly the possibility that it has become corrupt."? I'm enjoying the research, but I think Moyle had the same complaints as
Walter Salter had in 1937 (corruption, liquor, misappropriation of funds, lavish
lifestyle in contrast to treatment of followers, hypocrisy, etc.). Likewise,
unlike Franz, etc., he just didn't want to play ball and left after sending Ruth-
erford a letter of his complaints.W.F. Salter's letter to Rutherford:
http://gwest59.tripod.com/ChristIsLord/id30.htmlPreviously in 1937, and like Moyle, he'd also openly criticized Rutherford's
Beth Sarim as lavish misuse of Watch Tower funds. This was denied by Amburgh:Walter F. Salter, former manager of the Canadian branch of the Watch Tower
Society, also criticized Rutherford's use of Beth Sarim. A reply to Salter's
criticisms of Rutherford was published in the May 2, 1937 Golden Age, with a
photocopy of a letter from W.E. Van Amburgh, Secretary-Treasurer of the Watch
Tower Society, stating:Not one cent of the funds of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society went into
the construction of the home in San Diego where Judge Rutherford does his winter
work. It was the gift of friends. I did not know of the existence of the house
until I read of it in The Golden Age. Not one cent of the funds of the Watch
Tower Bible and Tract Society went into either of the Cadillac cars used by Ruth-
erford at San Diego and Brooklyn. They were the gift of friends.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beth_Sarim#OccupationWalter was disfellowshipped in 1937:
W 4/15/39 126
July 1, 1937, page 207, and which resolution, amongst other things, contained
the following:"We received from the Canadian branch, Toronto, this afternoon, information
leading to the disfellowshiping of Walter F. Salter by the Toronto company."Followers were advised about Salter:
"The destruction, without reading, of any such literature received through the
mail or otherwise."(4) The turning of a deaf car to anyone among us manifesting a desire to de-
bate or argue respecting this course of action."
