Geoffrey W. Jackson : ウィキペディア英語版 | Geoffrey W. Jackson
Geoffrey William Jackson is a member of the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses. == Early life == Jackson was born in Queensland, Australia in 1955 to his parents Ron and Estelle. He was baptized as a member of the Jehovah's Witness religion in 1968 and left school at age 15 to work as a pioneer, or full-time preacher, in Tasmania. In June 1974 he married Jeanette (Jenny) Alcock. Together they served as missionaries in Tuvalu, Samoa, and Fiji, from 1979 to 2003. During this time Jackson also served on Branch Committees in Samoa and Fiji. He worked at translating the religious literature of the Jehovah's Witnesses. Target languages included Tuvaluan, Samoan, Tongan, Tokelauan, Fijian, Kiribati, Nauruan, and Rotuman. He and Jeanette's work in the Tuvaluan language led to the two of them producing a Tuvaluan grammar book in 1999, and in 2001 the Australian government published a Tuvaluan dictionary that Jackson had worked on one hour a day for 20 years.
