Nearly.  Only for Timer 1 and 2, not for Timer 0.

No, there's no such thing as TMR1OFF.  Use TMR1ON instead.

Look at the diagram in Figure 6-1 of the PIC16F684 datasheet, and
you'll see how TMR1ON is used to "gate" the clock that increments
TMR1.

So with TMR1ON low (0) no clock gets to the counter.
