…repeating defamation taken from another source is still defamation. T — Defamation

"Silence to man and prayer to God are the best cures for the evil of slander."

"Not all defamation is art; some is incitement."

"Woe unto every slandering traducer."

"Every libel, which is called famosus libellus, is made either against a private man, or against a public person. If it be against a private man, it deserves a severe punishment."

"For 32 years (1884-1916) the president of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society was Charles Taze Russell. He was a fearless preacher and a prolific writer. He boldly denounced and refuted the Trinity doctrine, the immortal soul and eternal hellfire teachings. At one time Russell’s sermons were being featured every week in some 3,000 newspapers in the United States, Canada and Europe. Consequently he was under constant attack, mainly by the clergy. Many of his enemies stooped to personal attacks in an attempt to discredit him. How did he view these slanderers? He once said: “If you stop to kick at every dog that barks at you, you’ll never get very far.”"

"When squint-eyed Slander plies the unhallowd tongue, From poisond maw when Treason weaves his line, And Muse apostate (infamy to song!) Grovels, low muttering, at Seditions shrine."
