the short answer is yes.. the longer answer is a qualified yes, with some caveats.
the short answer is yes because jehovah’s witnesses teach that jesus is michael the archangel, their leader, eldest and most powerful, and have taught this since the very beginning of the religion.

its a hilarious misunderstanding, if it does not come from the watchtower bible and tract society, then it is effectively considered as coming from satan.
There is no proof that suggests the disciples went door to door preaching the gospel.

Rattigan,
JWs have as much of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as they do with the angel Gabriel.Imagine not even being able to say "Thank you Jesus for dying for my sins.
"Why would we want a personal relationship with Jesus?"
Because Jesus invites us into a saving personal relationship. Knowing Jesus and the Father personally is essential to eternal life. Jn.17:3 It is not taking in accurate information (gnosis) about Father and Son, it is knowing (ginosko). "Come unto me!" Jesus said, not "Come to a victorious organization for salvation."
"Why would we thank him for dying for our sins? as that is not why he died."
I am more and more convinced that JWs do not believe the Bible.
Acts 2: 38-39 Peter said to them, "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. "For the promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God will call to Himself."
Acts 10:43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
Acts 13:38-39 38 Therefore let it be known to you, men and brothers, that through this one forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. 39. And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
Hebrews 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
Hebrews 10:10 By the which we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all.
I John 2:2 And he (Christ) is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

Is it possible to know Michael the archangel and have a personal relationship with him?
Is it possible for Jehovah’s Witnesses to know Jesus Christ and have a personal relationship with him?

I think the elder started out by watching woman's beach volleyball tournaments on TV. And soon, after getting addicted, he got brave enough to actually go to the public swimming pools and beaches in his area.

Music itself is largely frowned upon because of its ability to alter a persons emotional state, making it almost as dangerous as demonic possession, which is considered a very real threat if heavy metal is involved. Otherwise it is viewed as a gateway to adultery and fornication and a veritable on-ramp to the broad and spacious road leading off to destruction.

* The bible presents a bit of a dilemma, whilst the current New World Translation is considered the only trustworthy version, and the Council of Nicea is considered a heretical abomination guided by the devil himself (as required by all Protestant flavours), JWs will use your bible, but will typically be visibly unhappy about it."
I certainly was not impressed by any creativity in the 135 approved titles. Listened to one song so far.... orchestrated but not inspiring. Your thoughts.
a very certain distinctive of jws is how they refer to themselves.
"one of jehovah's witnesses".
it's one of those coded jargon thingies.

By what authority does anyone have to change the Christ ordained role of believers from witnesses of Jesus to Jehovah Witnesses?
the acronym uap once stood for "unidentified aerial phenomena," until december 2022. .
then the pentagon updated its terminology to encompass "submerged and trans-medium objects.".
