This is so nice !  Brother Morris feels so much more real to me . Reading about his time in the Army.and his tribulations of a normal human...But I never did read what it said about his health issue in 1970 about his blood pressure.  Did I just miss it or something ?

[hayhauler]

No sister you did not miss something. I wonder too and am happy Bro. Morris recovered.

[hayhauler]

I overlooked this too!!!!

"MY INTRODUCTION TO WAR

I became ill while serving as an operating room during the war in Vietnam...."

Nothing specific about the illness though.

Also, what was interesting to me was that earlier brother Lösch in his life story chose to disclose his anointing as a spirit son of God whereas Br. Morris doesn't se to be making any specific mention of it.

But so good to have people from various backgrounds among those who take lead in the work today. That way they will also better understand others' circumstances and needs

I am loving how the Governing Body in recent couple of years are really being more present in our lives.  I remember being a kid in the 1970's and the governing body was a group of men very distant, most of us didn't even know all of their names.  Last couple of years I feel like they are making themselves available to us, letting us get to know them.  Between articles like these, being a part of the Annual Meeting, and now JW Broadcasting, well it's just pretty awesome.

"Ditto" to your whole comment Ava.

You can see he got the calling when he parked at the back of the Kingdom Hall. Maybe not the GB direcfion , but the anointed.

We should have a better understanding of them, as they will be telling us Jehovah's thoughts about Paradise issues, I suppose.
