Of course Jesus deserves honor, and by some definition even "worship". However, that CANNOT interfere with the "exclusive devotion" that is owed to the Almighty, Jehovah God.
(Exodus 20:5) I Jehovah your God am a God exacting exclusive devotion
Jehovah's Witnesses teach that no salvation occurs without Christ, that accepting Christ's sacrifice is a requirement for true worship, that every prayer must acknowledge Christ, that Christ is the King of God's Kingdom, that Christ is the head of the Christian congregation, that Christ is immortal and above every creature, even that Christ was the 'master worker' in creating the universe! Both secular dictionaries and disinterested theologians acknowledge that Jehovah's Witnesses are a Christian religion.
Rather than quoting from such trinitarian sources as philosophy, Greek mythology, and quotes from other Babylon-loving Trinitarians, Jehovah's Witnesses believe that the Scriptures alone quite plainly demonstrate that Jesus and the Almighty are separate distinct persons, and the Almighty created Jesus as His firstborn son.
(Colossians 1:15) the firstborn of all creation
(Mark 10:18) Jesus said to him: 'Why do you call me good? Nobody is good, except one, God.
(Revelation 3:14) the Amen says, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation by God
(Philippians 2:5-6) Christ Jesus, who, although he was existing in God's form, gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God
(John 8:42) Neither have I come of my own initiative at all, but that One sent me forth
(John 12:49) I have not spoken out of my own impulse, but the Father himself who sent me has given me a commandment as to what to tell and what to speak
(John 14:28) I am going my way to the Father, because the Father is greater than I am
(1 Corinthians 15:28) But when all things will have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will also subject himself to the One who subjected all things to him
(Matthew 20:23) this sitting down at my right hand and at my left is not mine to give, but it belongs to those for whom it has been prepared by my Father
(1 Corinthians 11:3) I want you to know that the head of every man is the Christ; ...in turn the head of the Christ is God
(John 20:17) I am ascending to my Father and your Father and to my God and your God.
(Deuteronomy 6:4) Jehovah our God is one Jehovah
(1 Corinthians 8:4-6) There is no God but one. For even though there are those who are called "gods," whether in heaven or on earth, just as there are many "gods" and many "lords," there is actually to us one God the Father

Well don't you think Jehovah deserves all the credit, he is the almighty powerful God, doesn't he deserved to be honored respected and worshiped? He created us, and without him we wouldn't be here
By the way, Jesus and Jehovah are two different spirits. Jehovah is the father and Jesus is the son

God , Jesus, Holy spirit, ARE ALL GOD. They are triune, but distinctly different. It`s in the Bible. The Father God calls Jesus God. Read these versus in your bible.Acts 5:3-4, Hebrews 1:8, John 17:1-26, and 15:26 and, 8:14-18. It`s all there. So you are slacking in your understanding of God. Seek and you will find, ask and it will be given to you. " In all you get, get understanding." If you are a Jehovas witness, they are leading you away from the truth about God, a false profit of the church, get as far away from them as you can. God Bless you. Show them those verses I gave you, they won`t know what to say.The trinity is like this, a three leaf clover, three leaves make one clover, it`s that simple.

I don't think that God would mind if we worship Jesus a lot. I don't actually think it would be possible to worship one more than the other since they are one in purpose and God sent Christ, His son to Earth to save us. We are redeemed through Christ but all the glory should go to God. We glorify the Father which is in heaven by worshiping Christ.

Great! because you get to Jehovah God through his son , Jesus Christ. Who was on earth, Jehovah God the creator sent his son and whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have ever lasting life.
What is your focus here? do you know the distinction between the two?

Psalm 2:12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish [from] the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed [are] all they that put their trust in him.
From this verse I take it that the Father would be very very happy.
In addition He might say well done.
I Corinthians 13;8a, Love never fails!!!!!

He will have to answer for himself. The only problem is that Jesus Christ lives, the other one doesn't, if you're referring to a religion other than Christianity. Otherwise, there's no problem.

I don't think that he would say anything, for God and Jesus Christ are one in the same.

I think this is just a tactic to put a guilt trip on Christians. To honor the Son is to Honor the Father, because they are one. Anything else is heresy.

He would say worship no one but me. I have put my son here for u to follow his teachings of my word. Do as I say and ye shall have eternal life.
