What's at issue here is the "fair use" of copyrighted material. Even Harry Potter can be quoted if done in keeping with the fair use provisions.
I copyright can be persued to what ever degree the person who hold it, is willing to spend in court. To see the history of the organization and know they will protect their material in court, and then act shocked when they do, makes no sense. Also, are you aware of how copyrights work. If I were to right a script and use names like Harry Potter, to explain something or in stories, trust me, Hollywood would not use it and if they did, JK Rowlings would get some payment. Even playing a song on the radio requires a radio station to pay the artist a small amount, normally about 10 cents per play time. If anyone is a Simpsons fan, then they might remember a Simpsons episode in which Homer Simpson joins a cult and thinks they are building a space ship to go to the mother world. Well in that episode, which should be something you all see, the lawyers of religion are shown for what they are ... A VERY POWERFUL TOOL. Here is how it work, you might have a case of "fair use" ... GREAT! Now I am going to send my $500 per hour lawyer to go against you $250 per hour lawyer to say otherwise. I have endless resources to spend on lawyers and you on the other hand have your income, a family, etc. and I doubt you can even come close to spending the amount of money or time I can. So guess what, you loss and now your case can set a precident for the next poor guy claiming "fair use" ... yes, A VERY POWERFUL TOOL.

Fair Use.
Fair use or fair practice is utilization of a portion of a copyrighted work "as is" for purposes of parody, news reporting, research and education about such copyrighted work without the permission of the author. Use of copyrighted works, or portions thereof, for any other purpose is not deemed fair use, so be careful! That includes copying text or scanning pictures from postcards, magazines, books or any other work. Scanning a photo of the Amazon Forest printed in National Geographic and using it without permission on your personal web site about your family trip to South America will most likely not be considered as fair use. However, if you republished the photo on your site to comment on the photo as it was published in National Geographic, this would most likely be considered fair use. You still have to credit your source by naming the author of the work on the same page. In any event, it is always safer to take the time and effort to contact the owner and request permission to use the owner's work, and more likely than not the owner will be very appreciative and give you a favorable response.

What I found interesting is that you are basically at the mercy of the person holding the copyright, as to how they see the use of their information by yourself. So if they say you are doing anything that they do not see as "fair use" and determine your actions to be otherwise. Here comes the lawyers! Here is what the judge will ask ... Are you a Witness? If not, why would you publish Witness information online? If you stated, "for a resource?" They would ask, "are you aware the Witness offer their own resources without your help?" If you said no, then you would look like a fool, since your quoting literature that says this. If you said "yes" then you would be asked why you felt you needed to help and whether or not you asked the Watchtower if they needed help. If you said you didn't, well it will go on and on like that forever.
What if you won!!!! Ding dong the witch is dead! Wait, what is that noise .... APPEAL! Now more lawyers ... and now what? New venue! No no, it can't be, are we going to be in court forever trying to get this information of "fair use" continued. YES!
