Charles Taze Russell and the whole Jehovah's Witnesses from the start are worshipping Jesus Christ. Check their first NWT versions,
"And let all God's angels worship him." - Revised NWT, 1961
"And let all God's angels worship him." - Revised NWT, 1970
"And let all God's angels do obeisance to him." - Revised NWT, 1984
Did you notice the big difference? A former JW said that thousands of JWs walk away from the Watchtower movement just because of this single verse. They cannot accept the fact that the JW Governing Body changed their doctrine from worshipping Jesus to just paying high respect or honor by doing "obeisance" to him. They watered down the translation of the Greek word "proskuneo" by choosing "obeisance" rather than "worship" because they cannot accept the fact that Jesus should be honored with THE SAME honor that they do with the Father.
John 5:23, "... that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father."
JWs, how do you honor the Father? Do you worship Him?
