La Tour de garde
Moyle was disfellowshipped by his congregation, which wrote a letter to "The Watchtower" stating that they had not read Moyle's letter, but disapproved of his actions and "never listen to accusations against Brother Rutherford". In 1940, Moyle sued the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania and the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York over the response in "The Watchtower". Rutherford presented a public resolution at a 1941 convention against Moyle, with reference to the September 15, 1941 issue of "The Watchtower". Moyle won his suit, and the court awarded him $30,000 in damages, which was reduced to $15,000 on appeal in 1944.
