Do Jehovah Witnesses believe Jesus Christ is Lord? Looked it up in NWT "Therefore, let all the house of Israel know for a certainty that God made him both Lord and Christ"." - Acts 2:36A. Talking to some folks now who claim JWs dont believe in that.
Quick question to Jehovah Witnesses.

Russki you have just opened a hornets nest, they believe he is lord but is only a mediator for about 10000 special loonies who will soon help destroy all mankind that aren't in agreement with the guys shown above. Theses guys above believe Jesus directs their ever changing doctrine, these guys above teach that people who don't get their monthly quota for book selling activities will be destroyed by the lord himself.

The confusion comes in that many Christians believe that Jesus is God and jws do not.
God (Jehovah) is Lord
Jesus is Lord too but under God

Got you. Thank you very much. God has appointed Jesus to be our Lord. Just like He appointed Moses to be god to Pharaoh "And the Yahowe said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh"- Exodus 7:1. Many Bible translations have it mistranslated with injected "like a god", while in original Hebrew there is no "like", it literally says "I have made thee a god to Pharaoh".
While Yahowe is indeed greater than Jesus, I still dont see any problems calling Jesus as God: "And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life."- 1 John 5:20; "For the Yahowe your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God" - Deuteronomy 10:17A -

In Jehovah`s witness theology , their is a BIG LORD , JEHOVAH , and a little lord , jesus christ.
However in scripture we find Jesus Christ is Lord of Lords and King of Kings.,,,,{not Jehovah }
Ph.2:10 In the name of jesus every knee should bend of those in heaven and those on earth and those under the ground and acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of the Father.
The verse preceding that states that the name of jesus is above any other nane , God exultated him and gave him a superipor position .
The Christian Greek scriptures / New Testament are unanimous in saying christians are to be witneses of JC , at least 30 such scriptures, their is not one scripture in the New Testament that authorises christians to be witnesses of Jehovah

(Another coming here to post about their own theology, is suspect.)

They believe what the Bible says in its entirety. For example Revelation chapter 1, with emphasis on verses 8,17,18. The Lord God is the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, was dead, but is now alive. You know, they are real keen on the simple, vital truths found in the Bible.
