I'm a 4th generation witness. However, I have JW cousins with grown grandchildren (that makes 6 generations), and two of them are married--all in the "truth." If they have kids, they will be 7th generation. I had two great aunts who became witnesses back about 1910. Their sister was my great grandmother who didn't actually become a witness but her daughter (my grandmother) did.
What generation witness are you?

I was third generation. My grandmother heard the famous Rutherford talk "Millions Now Living Will Never Die" and decided to join soon after. No witnesses left in my family now through either death or running screaming from the org.

I was third generation, to a degree. My step-grandmother was involved, which was how my family got entangled when my mother remarried, and she eventually married an old-time Pioneer.
So my daughter is 4th generation, and her daughter hopefully will go to college and LEAVE!

I was second generation - my parent's and 1 uncle (my parents recruited them) were the only JW's on either side of my family. None of my nieces or nephews are JW. So basically there is only my parents and 2 brothers and their wives still in
