(1) Because they believe that God is going to actually help them, based on all the stock examples that He has provided to get out of helping us while still getting praise.

Why do Jehovah's Witnesses pray to God?

To reply to sacs:
"For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace." (Isaiah 9:6).
So, should we conclude that the JWs have two gods and two Fathers? Simply put, they skip Jesus altogether and want a relationship with the Father directly.
The JW's believe that 'Mighty God' does not mean 'Almighty'. 'Eternal Father' is explained as Jesus adopted mankind since our first earthly father 'Adam' screwed it up. Since Jesus lives forever is why he is 'Eternal'. A scripture later tells that when the 100 years is over and mankind reaches perfection then Jesus hands the Kingdom back to his Father and once again as Adam had will have direct relationship with the Father directly.
