Anthony Morris III is a member of the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses. He was born c.1950, is married and has 2 sons. Morris has been a Governing Body member since September 1, 2005. == Early life and career== In his life story, published in the July 15, 2015 edition of The Watchtower, Morris makes reference to his "mother" and "stepfather." Whether this was in reference to his adopted mother, or if he was adopted at all, is not stated. His hometown is in Michigan. And he has 2 brothers, John and Ron. Morris was sent to Vietnam in July 1969, 14 years into the Vietnam War. He mentions working "in an army hospital in the Mekong Delta" as well as "working as a technician in an operating room during the war." Morris also wrote: "People do terrible things during war, and so did I", seeming to indicate that his service in Vietnam went beyond working as a technician and surgeon. Exactly when Morris was released from his service and for what reason is not directly stated, though it may have been when he got sick in June 1970 and was transferred to a U.S. hospital.〔 After his service in the war, Morris got a job at a hospital in Boca Raton, Florida. He said the effects the war had on him, as well as the attitude of Americans toward the war, causing him to feel the need to have a relationship with God. Morris began attending meetings at a Kingdom Hall in February 1971 in Delray Beach, Florida. That same year he became a pioneer, or full-time preacher. His stepfather kicked him out of the apartment due to his association with the Jehovah's Witnesses. He returned to Michigan in May, and later moved to Rhode Island, where he met his wife Susan, whom he married in December 1971. They lived in Rhode Island for 16 years, during which time they had 2 sons, Jesse and Paul. In 1987 they moved to North Carolina, where Morris was appointed a substitute traveling overseer, and eventually a regular traveling overseer.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anthony Morris III」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
