As far as I know, witnesses teach that Christ is the first created being.

I know you already know this but for my own peace of mind: Jehovah did not create satan. Jehovah created an angel who then made himself satan. Had to get that out....out of PURE respect for my God Jehovah.

The Gospel of John as well as Colossians ( to name just two) make it clear that Jesus was NOT created but that he was always with God, even before the first "act of creation", which was done through Jesus by the way.
Satan was the "tempter" and the "accuser" of Humanity, he is OUR archenemy, not God's or Jesus's, OURS.

That's not quite accurate, dear PSacto (the greatest of love and peace to you!). I can explain why, if you'd like. Otherwise, I would exhort you to read Genesis, John, and Colossians, again, and perhaps you will "see" why.
Again, peace to you!
Your servant, sister, and fellow slave of Christ,

LOL.
Though it flatters me to no end to be mistaken for Tammy, I have to speak up and say I am not she.

Not sure what you mean Shelby, are you saying that we will find Jesus being created in Genesis, John and Colossians?
John makes it clear that Jesus was with God from the beginning, which means he existed BEFORE God created "the beginning".
John makes it clear that ALL was made Through Jesus.
Colossians states that Christ was firstborn of all creation ( not that he was created, he was "born" before creation) and that ALL things in heaven and Earth were created by/in Him.
As for Genesis, we see that "spirit" of God working at the very beginning of the act of creation and that spirit is Christ and that Christ was active even before creation started.
