Recently on Yahoo JWs have said, "JWs worship Jehovah and Jesus Christ" and, "JWs do believe that Jesus was divine as John 1:1 says. Divine does not mean the almighty, just that he was a spirit being. If Jesus was God no salvation would be possible..." and, "Jesus Christ was and is divine and of the same nature as God". (I can provide their Yahoo! names but I don't want to get any of them into trouble.)
I thought they insisted that only Jehovah is to be worshipped as God, because to worship anyone else would be polytheism, which the Bible, Jehovah and Jesus condemn. Yet they say Jesus is "a god" and "the Mighty God" but he is a distinct person from the Almighty God, Jehovah! So if they are really monotheists, they cannot give Jesus any form of worship whatever. If they give Jesus any worship, they are polytheists. This is why they never pray to Jesus. (In anticipation - respect and obedience is NOT worship - I respect and obey my husband but I do NOT worship him!)
