Is Jesus really a Jehovah Witness?

Actually, Isaiah 43:10-12 seems to say that all literal Israelities are JWs. Jesus was a Jew, does that scripture apply to him. But then the WTS applies that to the "spiritual" Israelites they get from Galatians 6:16 and apply it to the 144,000 (anointed, chosen ones, etc). But then starting somewhere in the late 30's the WTS started including the other sheep (that I find amazing and wonder how they make that leap).

JH said: Try telling a Catholic that Jesus is a JW
I got into a 'discussion' with a Catholic on another site about this. Well, not that Jesus was a Dub, but this guy was trying to say that Jesus was a Catholic. I think I burst his bubble by informing him that Jesus was not a Catholic but a Jew. This guy flipped and vigorously defended his view that the Catholic Church was 'born' during The Last Supper. I told him to go read the passage again: Jesus and his disciples were celebrating the Passover, a Jewish celebration, not a Catholic one. I didn't hear back from him after that.
So the WT says that Jesus was a JW? I honestly didn't know that. I recall in the articles saying something like he was a 'witness for Jehovah' but that's about it. They always acknowledged his Jewish heritage as far as I can remember. Anyone have a passage where the WT calls Jesus a Dub?

Often, at the hall, brothers talking from the podium said, "Jesus is the greatest JW of all".
Do you say podium in english...lol

In the 1957 make sure book, pg 193 under the jehovah's witness heading, some subheadings are:
Jesus Christ the Chief Witness of Jehovah
Abel the First of an Unbroken Line of Jehovah's Witnesses on Earth
Ancient Faithful Israel Was an Entire Nation of Jehovah's Witnesses
Here are a couple more quotes:
