Anthony Morris

Anthony Morris III is an American Jehovah's witness. He was a member of the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses, from September 1, 2005, to February 22, 2023.

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."

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, caused 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. He was baptized in July 1971 and that same year, he became a full-time preacher.

Due to his association with the Jehovah's Witnesses, he was asked to leave the home by his stepfather.

Morris returned to Michigan in May and later moved to Rhode Island, where he met his future wife Susan, whom he married in December 1971. In 1987 they moved to North Carolina, where Morris was appointed a substitute traveling overseer, and eventually a regular traveling overseer.

In 2002, Morris and his wife were invited to serve at the US Branch Office of Jehovah's Witnesses. Morris worked in the Service Department at Patterson, NY, and later as a helper to the Service Committee of the Governing Body.

On August 24, 2005, it was announced that Morris and Geoffrey W. Jackson would begin serving as members of the Governing Body effective September 1.

On Wednesday, February 22, 2023, World Headquarters announced that Morris is no longer serving as a member of the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses.

Morris married Susan in December 1971. They have two children, Jesse and Paul.
