Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe Jesus is "God".
You might find it interesting to note what Jesus said at Mark 10:18: “Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone.”
Jesus was saying that no one is as good as God is, not even Jesus himself. God is good in a way that separates him from Jesus.
Time and again, Jesus made statements such as: “The Son cannot do anything at his own pleasure, he can only do what he sees his Father doing.” (John 5:19) “I have come down from heaven to do, not my will, but the will of him that sent me.” (John 6:38) “What I teach is not mine, but belongs to him that sent me.” (John 7:16) Wouldn't the sender be superior to the one sent?
If you would like to read more about why we believe Jesus is God's Son, but not God, I will leave you with a link to an article that takes you to the Bible for further proof.

try doing a little research before you spew things out of your pie hole that just make you look stupid.
I am not a Jehovah's Witness, but I have at least looked at their religion. They are Christian just the same as Baptist, Methodist, etc... Their beliefs differ some from other religions, but they are Christians and believe that Jesus is the Christ.
I can not comment on Islam because I have not studied on it.
Now... if you meant to say "God" instead of "good"... then I apologize for my above comment and instead say... proof read before you hit submit.

Jehovah's Witnesses do NOT believe that Jesus was bad. He is God's son - the second highest personage in the universe. I'd say that's a pretty elevated position to be in!

Um. . . . Hi I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses, and I know Jesus is good. We do not believe Jesus is God. Psalms 83:18 says in part "That the people may know that you whose name is Jehovah you alone are most high over all the Earth"
Please before you judge or make statements about our beliefs learn them. http://watchtower.org is out official website. An easier way to find out our beliefs is to talk to us. By us I mean a flesh and blood Jehovah's Witness face to face. If you go to your local Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses you can find someone who will gladly explain our beliefs.

I think Jews believe Jesus wasn't the son of god although i don't know if they thought he was 'good'. Jehovah's witnesses do actually believe Jesus is good by the way.

If you meant God:
Jesus is not God, I thought this was common knowledge.
If you meant good:
Jesus is good, who doesn't believe Jesus is good? Even if he's considered a prophet or messiah.
I think the belief in the trinity messes things up for people. Which Islam and JW's don't believe in.

Most religions don't follow Jesus. Only Christianity does.

Jews don't "believe" anything about Jesus, but they have suffered 2000 years of misery caused by his followers!
