The resurrection and Jesus' divine origin, that he is the son of God, is central to a Jehovah's Witness' faith. To them that's the 2nd most important thing, next to Jehovah being the Almighty.
Here's an excerpt from their website:
"WHAT JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES BELIEVE
Christ is God's Son and is inferior to Him Matt. 3:17; John 8:42; 14:28; 20:17; 1 Cor. 11:3; 15:28
Christ was first of God's creations Col. 1:15; Rev. 3:14
Christ died on a stake, not a cross Gal. 3:13; Acts 5:30
Christ's human life was paid as a ransom for obedient humans Matt. 20:28; 1 Tim. 2:5, 6; 1 Pet. 2:24
Christ's one sacrifice was sufficient Rom. 6:10; Heb. 9:25-28
Christ was raised from the dead as an immortal spirit person 1 Pet. 3:18; Rom. 6:9; Rev. 1:17, 18
Christ's presence is in spirit John 14:19; Matt. 24:3; 2 Cor. 5:16; Ps. 110:1, 2"

I love it when a question is asked of Jehovah's Witnesses and people who are not Jehovah's Witnesses answer. The best part is the answer they give is WRONG!!!
The answer is yes to both parts of your question. In addition we believe that Jehovah God saw fit to make his firstborn Son the central, or key, figure in the outworking of all His purposes (Joh 1:14-18; Col 1:18-20; 2:8, 9), the focal point on which the light of all prophecies would concentrate and from which their light would radiate (1Pe 1:10-12; Re 19:10; Joh 1:3-9), the solution to all the problems that Satan’s rebellion had raised (Heb 2:5-9, 14, 15; 1Jo 3:8), and the foundation upon which God would build all future arrangements for the eternal good of His universal family in heaven and earth. (Eph 1:8-10; 2:20; 1Pe 2:4-8) Because of the vital role he thus plays in God’s purpose, Jesus could say, rightly and without exaggeration: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”—Joh 14:6.

They do believe that Jesus rose from the dead and that he is the son of God.Jehovah's witness is not a cult.Contrary to what some people says.

confident. that's what the Bible says. Acts 2:32, 33 says: "This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof all of us are witnesses. as a result being by employing the main concepts-blowing hand of God exalted, and having gained of the father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear."

Yes to both! We believe that Jesus is the Son of God, and that he had a prehuman exsistance in heaven with God. He gave up that heavenly life to take on a human life and gave up His perfect life in ransom sacrifice for mankinds sins in obedience to His Father's plan. He then arose, and is now in the heavens again, as King of Jehovah's Heavenly Kingdom.

I do not know but what I do know is that I used to roller skate in the parking lot of the local Jehovah Witness "church". And it was fun...

yes, they do. No, they don't. It all depends on which of their books you read, and which edition. I used to have a whole collection of their first editions, until my JW daughter-in -law stole them and replaced them with the latest, under the pretext of doing me a favour...Also, they do BOOK studies, not Bible studies.

They reject the doctrine of the Trinity. They teach Jesus is Michael the Archangel. (but see Hebrews, chapter 1)
