No jw don't worship Jesus Christ, but Christians do, because He is to be worshipped:

Mat 2:2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.

Mat 2:11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.

Mat 14:33 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.

Mat 28:9 And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.


Joh 9:38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.

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.

Acts 10:25 "And as Peter was coming in, cornelius met him. And fell down at his feet, and WORSHIPPED him"---KJV

What does an act of worship entails?

Why did different Bible Translation use different words at some portions translated "worship" in KJV ?

Any religion that denies the lordship of Jesus is false religion. Synonymous with antichrist really.

But, from what I have learnt about it from reading and other people, it is not mainstream Christianity in the sense of recognizing the deity of Christ as well as other mainstream Christian beliefs are off.

worship
G4352

προσκυνέω
proskuneō
pros-koo-neh'-o
From G4314 and probably a derivative of G2965 (meaning to kiss); to fawn or crouch to, that is, (literally or figuratively) prostrate oneself in homage (do reverence to, adore): - worship.
Total KJV occurrences: 60

kiss, crouch (bow to), prostate oneself in homage, do reverence to, adore, - that's worship

Jehovahs witnesses claim that worship of Jesus is idolatry!

"Trinitarians who believe that Jesus is God, or at least the second person of the triune God, do not like to have Jehovah's witnesses say that it is unscriptural for worshipers of the living and true God to render worship to the Son of God, Jesus Christ" Watchtower 1964 Nov 1 p.671

"Reverent adoration should be expressed only to God. To render worship to anyone or anything else would be a form of idolatry, which is condemned in both the Hebrew and Greek Scriptures. Accordingly, true Christians do well to direct their worship only to Jehovah God, the Almighty." Awake! 2000 Apr 8 pp.26,27

Re: Do Jehovah’s Witnesses Worship Jesus Christ? by johnw74: 4:50am On Sep 02, 2015
Not only do scriptures say that Jesus Christ is to be worshiped, which jw does not believe, and try and belittle Jesus saying such things as:

(1) does Jesus have a God?
(2) was Jesus sent ?
(3) who sent Jesus ?
(4) who do you think is superior , Jesus or the one who sent him .
(5) is Jesus the father?
(6) if you think Jesus is not the father, who do you think deserves our worship , Jesus , the father or both ?
(7 ) is Christ under subjection to anybody ?
(cool if you are in subjection to another, is that person not superior to you ?

In their warped thinking they think these questions show that Jesus Christ is not to be worshiped.

Even without any scriptures saying so, Christians know that Jesus Christ-God is to be worshiped


Jesus Christ is God and God is to be worshiped:

John said "the Word was God": Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Timothy said "Jesus is God": 1Ti 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

Jesus shows "He is God" along with the Father: Joh 10:30 I and my Father are one.
Mar 12:29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: Lord in that verse is "kurios" meaning God, "God our God is one God", God is one God, the Father and I are one

Thomas called Jesus "God": John 20:28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.

David called Jesus Christ "God": Psa 45:6 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.

Isaiah said "God is with us": Isa 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
Immanuel means: "with us is God".

Matthew said "God is with us": Mat 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

Jesus Christ is "equal to God", that is:- the Word was with God, the Word was God:
Php 2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

Titus called our saviour Jesus Christ, "the Great God": Tit 2:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;

Father God calls Jesus Christ "God" Heb 1:8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of

John shows "the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit to be God": 1Jn 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
Mar_12:29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

Jesus Christ-God certainly is worshiped by believers-Christians, and of course
He is not worshiped by antichrists, unbelievers, sects, false religion.

New generation of JWs don't worship Jesus but their founder Russell and his successors do so for over good 50years.

I wonder who is right between the founder and the followers or should I call it confusion, and the fate of those JWs who have been taught that worshipping Jesus is scriptural.

If it is Jehovah that truly called Russell, why Jehovah couldn't tell him that worshipping Jesus is idolatry but allowed Russell to die as an idolater?
