Neville is forbidden to discuss the Bible's non-historicity at a 1945 engagement

In 1945, arriving late by plane for his first engagement addressing four or five hundred graduates of an organization, its head took him aside minutes before eight and forbade him to speak on the non-historicity of the Bible; he complied that night as a guest but told the man never to tell him what to say again.

  2. 6 June 1969 estimated · probable
    Reasoning Passage 543921 is carried by node 1774. Its Pass-0 revision diff preserves the header dateline 6/6/69, which matches and sharpens the lecture's internally stated 1969 year. The exact day remains supported by that one recovered header and is therefore recorded at probable confidence. || v1.1 type repair: written as `stated` by run v1.1/l4/actor453/17500-17999-b1, retyped `estimated` — the claim cites node 1774, not a passage, so it is this lane's inference rather than something Neville said in so many words (#2117).
