Olin R. Moyle

Olin Richmond Moyle (August 28, 1887 – November 26, 1966) was legal counsel for the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society^[1] from 1935 to 1939. He helped represent Jehovah's Witnesses in two cases before the United States Supreme Court, which set new precedents on First Amendment freedoms.^[2] A dispute with Watch Tower Society president J. F. Rutherford led to Moyle's expulsion from the religion.^[3] Moyle later sued the Watch Tower Society for libel over an article in its magazine, The Watchtower. 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.
