Since this is the case, wouldn't it be a little more accurate to call you Jehovah's Speculators?

hmm I'm not a Jehovah's Witness, but you do make a lot of sense!! Jehovah's Speculators sounds like a more accurate name!

I am a witness of Jesus. The JW's have not seen Jehovah, but they go and tell about what they believe Jehovah's kingdom looks like.

A Jehovah's Witness is someone who witnesses or speaks about Jehovah. Jehovah is the Creator's name according to the Holy Scriptures.(Isaiah 43;10,11)
Jehovah's Witnesses Definition: The worldwide Christian society of people who actively bear witness regarding Jehovah God and his purposes affecting mankind. They base their beliefs solely on the Bible.

Jehovah's Witnesses both witness personally and bear witness to others regarding God's personal name, his majestic personality, and Kingdom purposes. In doing so, they align themselves with Jesus Christ and the prophets.
(Isaiah 43:10) “You are my witnesses,” is the utterance of Jehovah
(Isaiah 43:12) So you are my witnesses,” is the utterance of Jehovah, “and I am God.
(Hebrews 12:1-2) Because we have so great a cloud of [Jehovah's] witnesses surrounding us, let us also put off every weight and the sin that easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, as we look intently at the Chief Agent and Perfecter of our faith, Jesus
(Revelation 1:5) Jesus Christ, “the Faithful Witness”
(Acts 5:38,39) Do not meddle with these men, but let them alone; (because, if this scheme or this work is from men, it will be overthrown; but if it is from God, YOU will not be able to overthrow them;) otherwise, You may perhaps be found fighters actually against God.”

Should I be laughing? Because I'm not.
I'm sure the people of Noah's day made fun of him too. Making a huge ark and telling people that it was going to rain, even though it had NEVER rained before. I can imagine they made up jokes about him too until the downpour started and "swept them all away." Matt. 24:39
I never make fun of other religions, if if I don't agree with them. It's not the Christian way.

True, no human has seen Jehovah.
Probably better off for it.
However, the 'witness' part refers to the things He has done, not He himself.
Its just like you.
I've never seen you, but I can attest (witness) you exist and use the internet, Yahoo in particular.
I could also bear testimony that you fall prey to sarcasm.

Witnesses doesn't refer to the fact that we have seen God.
This site shows other meanings of the word which we refer to
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/witnesses
So we have heard the truth about God & we publicly affirm our religious faith.
Enyone can see God in a way by reading about his qualities in the Bible.
