Welcome to the forum niknak , look forward to hearing more from you and your experiences with the JW`s .
Have a look at the KI published by the WTB&TS John 1:1 in the word for word translation does it say, a god ?
And what scripture in the New Testament explicitly states that Christians are to be witnesses of Jehovah ? None
On the other hand about twenty scriptures explicitly state that Christians should be witnesses of Jesus .
Glad to have you on board niknak.
