I have heard this question before. The answer is unaquivically YES. Even if someone believe's Jesus is God, he would still be a Witness of God, as he displayed the teachings of God. He offered a Witness. For those of us who see him as the Son of God, he was a Witness for the same reason, he preached about the teachings of God. For that matter, even those who feel he was just a good man, or just a prophet, if they believe the Bible, then still he was a Witness as he lived his life according to God's word, and shared it with others.

(Revelation 1:5) Jesus Christ, “the Faithful Witness
(1 Timothy 6:13) Christ Jesus, who as a witness made the fine public declaration
(John 18:37) Jesus answered: “...for this I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth
(Revelation 3:14) These are the things that the Amen says, the faithful and true witness [compare 2 Cor 1:19,20]
(Isaiah 55:1-4) Hey there, all you thirsty ones! Come to the water. ...Look! As a witness to the national groups I [Jehovah] have given him [compare John 3:16]

There is nothing "technical" about it. Jesus was a Jehovah's Witness. Isaiah 43:10, 11 states YOU are my witnesses,” is the utterance of Jehovah, “even my servant whom I have chosen, in order that YOU may know and have faith in me, and that YOU may understand that I am the same One. Before me there was no God formed, and after me there continued to be none. 1—I am Jehovah, and besides me there is no savior.
God applied these words to the nation of Israel. A a member of that nation, these words applied to Jesus. He faithfully lived up to the name by bearing witness to his father at all times. In fact Revelation 1:5 and other verses refer to him as "the faithful witness"

Yes he was. I asked this question here before and it was interesting the responses I got. This is one of my favorite questions to ask my co workers here at work. Jesus was a Jehovah's Witness. He's called through out the scriptures the faithful and true witness. Jesus made his Fathers name known, not his own. Jesus was from the tribe of Judah so Isa 43:10-11 would apply to him, you are my Witnesses. The Bible clearly shows that Jesus was sent as a Representative for his Father. Pray to Jehovah through Jesus and for his Spirit to reveal the truth to you.

Yes, Jesus was one of Jehovah's witnesses, for he gave testimony and a great witness regarding his Father's Kingdom and purposes.
Today, we give the same testimony and witness of the Kingdom, as did Jesus.
"Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us" __Hebrews 12:1

Ishvarlan is correct.
Take your KJV of the Bible (Not New KJV) and turn to John 17:6. In prayer to God (John 17:3) Jesus said the following:
"I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word."
This is in harmony with what he said in teaching his disciples how to pray in Matthew 6:9 - "Hallowed be thy name."
Then again we learn in Revelation 3:14 that Jesus is called "the faithful and true witness."
In Hebrews 2:12, quoting from Psalm 22:22, speaking of Jesus it is said: "I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee."
What name was that?
Exodus 6:3 "And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them."
Psalm 83:18 "That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth."
So from the KJV of the Bible we see God's name is Jehovah, and Jesus bore witness to this Name, so YES! He was one of Jehovah's Witnesses.
