Don Alden Adams was born in or about
1925 in Oak Park, Illinois (USA) in a large family orignally connected to the Episcopal church. His mother
got Don and his family involved with Jehovah’s Witnesses. His attorney father acted on behalf of
Watchtower. In 1944 Don A. Adams was invited to Brooklyn headquarters and was secretary to then President
Nathan Homer Knorr. In the 1960s he was a zone overseer, later missionary director and on the Bethel Home
Committee.
After Milton G. Henschel stepped down he became President of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society
of Pennsylvania, the oldest and most important of the umbrella of corporations of Jehovah's Witnesses and he heads the
overall Governing Body as well. Insofar as known his role has been administrative, not dealing with doctrinal issues and decisions.
He appears to do all he can to stay out of the media. After Love and Norris (lovenorris.com) determined
in the Napa Valley, California, lawsuits that Don A. Adams is the "most knowledgeable" person in the entire Watchtower
umbrella of corporations as to what it does, etc, Watchtower very quickly decided to settle with the firm.
