In Acts 1:8 Jesus says " You shall be witnesses of Me " ( Jesus).
Let's be honest, your message is Jehovah, not Jesus.
Give me your take on this

Honestly we do talk about Jesus. We are Jehovah's Witnesses, yes, but He is Jesus' father. When we speak of the wonderful things Jesus did on the Earth, we are also speaking on the wonderful way Jehovah trained him. Conversely we gladly recognise that as we offer to share about the Bible and Jehovah, we owe a great deal to Jesus.

I was not raised as a Jehovah's Witness so I searched for the truth and did alot of research. Jehovah's Witnesses do preach about Jesus.
My Wife and I were baptized in Aug. 1996.
We have talked to alot of people about Jehovah's Son Jesus Christ. That Jesus is our King and that he died for us. We have a book titled "The Greatest Man Who Ever Lived" and it's all about Jesus and his teachings taken from the four Gospels. We have tracts "Who is Jesus" and people know we speak about Jesus.
Jesus said you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.
It's a beautiful thing knowing that Jesus is the Son of God, and that he came to earth to die for us.
Next time Jehovah's Witnesses come by please ask them for a free copy of the Greatest Man book. They will get you a book and I know you will enjoy it.
Nice talking to you and have a nice day.

It seems somewhat sad that so many ostensible "Christians" believe that the "good news" concerns only the person of Jesus Christ, since the Scriptures certainly do not teach that. In fact, the primary theme of the preaching work of true Christians (such as Jehovah's Witnesses) concerns God's Kingdom (by means of Christ Jesus).
(Matthew 4:23) [Jesus] went around throughout the whole of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the good news of the kingdom
(Matthew 9:35) Jesus set out on a tour of all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the good news of the kingdom
(Matthew 24:14) And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth
(Mark 1:14-15) Jesus went into Galilee, preaching the good news of God and saying: “The appointed time has been fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has drawn near
(Luke 4:43) [Jesus] said to them: “Also to other cities I must declare the good news of the kingdom of God, because for this I was sent forth.”
(Luke 8:1) [Jesus] went journeying from city to city and from village to village, preaching and declaring the good news of the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with him
(Luke 16:16) From then on the kingdom of God is being declared as good news
(Acts 8:12) Philip, who was declaring the good news of the kingdom of God
(Acts 14:21-22) Declaring the good news to that city and making quite a few disciples, ...saying: “We must enter into the kingdom of God
Incidentally, first century Christians (of the so-called "New" Testament) largely preached to Jews and Samaritans who were already familiar with Jehovah God. As existing worshippers of Jehovah, those householders needed to learn the details about the Christ, Jesus.
Ironically, in Europe and the Americas, many or most householders are already somewhat familiar with the basics of Jesus. Such ostensibly "Christian" householders benefit more by learning more about God's Messianic Kingdom, and about Jesus' Heavenly Father. Householders may have learned little or nothing about that during their studies with Christendom!

Apparently Nina does not believe that Jesus was God incarnate, otherwise she would see that these words are interchangable.

In all fairness, Jesus Christ is worthy of our honor and respect.
Nevertheless, the Angels never wanted to be worshipped. And I don't think Jesus needs this either. I would think He wants to be acknowledged, but wants us to keep our minds on our Creator more expressly.
