Jehovah's Witnesses worship only Jehovah God, the Almighty Father.
Jehovah's Witnesses do honor and obey Christ Jesus as a separate and distinct person and Chief Agent of Jehovah, but the Witnesses prefer not to use the word "worship" to describe any devotion except the "exclusive devotion" which they feel and express toward their God Jehovah.
(Exodus 20:5) I Jehovah your God am a God exacting exclusive devotion
(Deuteronomy 4:24) Jehovah your God ... a God exacting exclusive devotion.
(Deuteronomy 6:14-15) You must not walk after other gods, any gods of the peoples who are all around you, (for Jehovah your God in your midst is a God exacting exclusive devotion)
(Exodus 34:14) For you must not prostrate yourself to another god, because Jehovah, whose name is Jealous, he is a jealous God
(Isaiah 42:8) “I am Jehovah. That is my name; and to no one else shall I give my own glory, neither my praise to graven images.
(Matthew 4:10) Then Jesus said to him: “Go away, Satan! For it is written, ‘It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’”
(Luke 4:8) Jesus said to him: “It is written, ‘It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’”

Jehovah's Witness believe that Jesus is the son of God and God's name is Jehovah, while the have deep respect for Jesus they worship Jehovah as the Most High God. Many people beleive they are the same, Jehovahs Witnesses believe that Jehovah is the Most High and they worship him exclusively while still believing that Jesus was sent to the earth by God to die for our sins.

We Jehovah's Witnesses worship Jehovah God. Jesus is the son of God. Psalms 83:18 tells us that Jehovah is most high.

Jehovah's Witnesses worship only Jehovah God, the Father of Jesus.
Which is interesting because their official journal, the Watchtower, states: "Jehovah God commanded the angels to worship the Son...Heb. 1:6". But as previously stated, Jehovah's Witnesses prefer not to. So their New World Translation translates the Greek word 'proskyneo" as "worship" when speaking of the Father and whenever it's spoken of Jesus, it is rendered "do obeisance to".

Jehovah is a name for God the Father of Jesus, not of Jesus himself.

No, unluckily they do not worship Him. Throughout the Bible Jesus is proven being worshiped via the shrewd guys, his fans, and the angels and believers in Heaven. Did Jesus ever quit any one from worshiping Him? Well, you could suppose so if He wasn't God. John made the error of worshiping an angel. The angel was once speedy to proper him. Revelation 22:eight-nine--"Now I, John, noticed and heard those matters. And whilst I heard and noticed, I fell right down to WORSHIP earlier than the ft of the angel who confirmed me those matters. Then he mentioned to me, "See [that you simply do] now not [do this.] For I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren the prophets, and of folks that hold the phrases of this ebook. WORSHIP GOD." If Jesus is simply an angel and does not forbid men and women from worshiping Him, He isn't any bigger than Lucifer. Holy angels could in no way take delivery of worship from any one, now not even from different angels. Jesus is God. He is at the Throne of God, being worshiped as God via Christians, angels, and the believers who're absent from the frame and reward with the Lord. ---*---*---*---*---*---*---* A, your scripture charges are from the NWT, now not from the Holy Bible. Jesus honestly mentioned, "The Lord thy God..". The phrase "Jehovah" isn't any in which within the textual content.

The bible clearly states:
(Matthew 4:10) . . .Then Jesus said to him: “Go away, Satan! For it is written, ‘It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’”. . .
Jehovah's Witnesses closely follow the bible's counsel as stated here to worship Jehovah alone.
