1 Thessalonians 4:16 The voice of the archangel is Jesus' voice, the verse shows that Jesus possesses the voice, it belongs to him. With an archangels voice is used as an adjective, it describing the Lords voice just like, with a commanding call. Also read Revelation chapter 10, the angel described there is Jesus, all the descriptions applied to this angel apply to Jesus, arrayed with a cloud, Jesus is to return with the clouds, Jesus is the lion out of the tribe of Judah, this angle speaks as a roaring lion, this angel's face shines as the sun, Jesus' face shined as the sun at his transfiguration in Matthew, angel has a little scroll opened in his hand, just a couple of chapters earlier only Jesus able to open the little scroll, angel's right foot on the sea left foot on land, Jesus is to rule over the earth, angle has rainbow upon his head which shows God given authority. How much proof do you need?

Jehovah's Witnesses fully understand and agree that Jesus Christ the Son (who is much more than a mere angel) has been appointed by Jehovah God the Father as King of God's Kingdom. Jehovah God is the source of Christ's authority, so that Jesus is now "better than the angels".
(Hebrews 1:3-4) [Jesus] sat down on the right hand of the Majesty in lofty places. 4 So he HAS BECOME better than the angels [caps added]
(Matthew 28:18) And Jesus approached and spoke to them, saying: "All authority has been given me in heaven and on the earth.
(Acts 2:36) God made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you impaled.
(John 3:35) The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand.
(Acts 5:31) God exalted this one as Chief Agent and Savior to his right hand
(Psalm 2:2-6) The kings of earth take their stand And high officials themselves have massed together as one Against Jehovah and against his anointed one... Jehovah himself will hold them in derision..., Saying: "I, even I, have installed my king [Jesus]
Such a "king" is not the peer of his subjects, and clearly, an "archangel" is not the peer of mere angels.
Christendom has pretended that Gabriel is also an archangel, and that Satan had been; both ideas have no foundation in Scripture. Some religions in Christendom invent names for four or five additional supposed "archangels"; those invented names have no foundation in Scripture. "Archangel" actually means "Chief of the Angels"; the fact remains that the bible itself speaks of only one single solitary archangel. The Scriptures never use the term "archangel" in the plural, but only in the singular.
Who is a better person than Jesus to be the single "Chief" of all faithful angels? Of whom can it be said that faithful angels belong to him, or are "his"?
2 Thes 1:7 Lord Jesus from heaven with his powerful angels
Rev 12:7 Michael and his angels battled
The bible certainly teaches that the archangel Michael is the same person as Jesus.
Note that Jesus the Lord calls with an archangel's voice:
1 Thes 4:14-16 Jesus died and rose again, so, too... the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a commanding call, with an archangel's voice
Do two different persons present themselves during a time of "distress" such as has "not occurred" before?
Dan 12:1 And during that time Michael will stand up, the great prince who is standing in behalf of the sons of your people. And there will certainly occur a time of distress such as has not been made to occur since there came to be a nation until that time.
Matt 24:3-21 Disciples [asked Jesus] what will be the sign of your presence...?" And in answer Jesus said to them: "...All these things are a beginning of pangs of distress. ...for then there will be great tribulation such as has not occurred since the world's beginning until now
Do two different persons both lead the heavenly armies?
Rev 19:13,14 [Jesus] is The Word of God. Also, the armies that were in heaven were following him
Rev 12:7 And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels battled
Once you study it, the bible really teaches that Michael is another name for Jesus. Though the term may confuse some, Jesus can properly be called an "archangel" or an "angel" (though not a mere angel) or a "son of God" or a "morning star" (though not a mere 'morning star'). Interestingly, the Scriptures refer to *ALL* angelic spirit creatures as "morning stars" (not just Jesus or Lucifer). Note that the archangel Jesus is uniquely elevated above mere angels by the title "the BRIGHT morning star".
Job 38:4,7 When [Jehovah] founded the earth... When the morning stars [or "angels"] joyfully cried out together, And all the sons of God began shouting in applause
Rev 22:16 I, Jesus... I am the root and the offspring of David, and the BRIGHT morning star. [caps added]

I don't know the Bible verse, but I feel that its common sense Whom else has the power to through out anyone from heaven but Jesus, and he was with his father the first born of all of Jehovah creations.

JWs and Mormons don't join, they are recruited and led down a 'rosey path', getting their earthly needs met until, like a cow, they don't care.

They Of Course........ ARE.... WRONG.....!
(Hebrews 1:1-to-8) God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
(Heb 1:2) Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
(Heb 1:3) Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
(Heb 1:4) Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
(Heb 1:5) For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
(Heb 1:6) And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
(Heb 1:7) And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
(Heb 1:8) But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
