Jehovah's Witnesses are Christians; they teach that Christ was and is divine and of the same nature as God.
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!
Jehovah's Witnesses love and respect and honor Christ. However, Jehovah's Witnesses believe that the Scriptures 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, out of whom all things are, and we for him
Thanks again for an opportunity to share what the bible actually says about the distinct persons of Jesus Christ the Son and Jehovah God the Father!

I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses, and I have to agree with you. I spend quite a bit of time talking with people about the Bible. Most people; as apathetic as they are, believe in a triune God. Most of them don't even know God's name, let alone use it, in spite of the fact that Jesus prayed for his Father's name to be sanctified.
You can also see on this sight how people twist things in the attempt to make sense out of it; trinity for example, so there is definitely truth to what you are saying.
Let me add that we don't believe that Jesus "was just a prophet" He is Jehovah's son and bought back what Adam lost, that is perfect life; and now Jesus is are reigning king in heaven.

people may acknowledge that Jehovah exist, but they do not give due worship to Him only Jesus. But to answer your question, yes, Jehovah's Witnesses are the ONLY religion who worship Jehovah and use His name and we also believe in Jesus Christ. That's why when we pray to Jehovah, we ALWAYS go through Jesus' name.

No we are not. Anyone who is truly Christian knows that Jesus is the only begotten son of Jehovah God.

They dont believe in Jesus thats just the point. They are anti-Trinitarians and believe that Jesus was just a prophet and not the son of God.

Capitalizing to this extent really is not appropriate as it projects a negative attitude.
That aside, you left out that while dead, he could do nothing until his Father resurrected him.
