Jesus as God. What do JW believe?
by Th3ArCh0n ini've been looking into jehovah's witnesses beliefs and came up with a serious question, as i've found is that witnesses don't believe that jesus is god, same with the father.
but even in the new world translation, isaiah 9:6 (one of the ancient prophecies of jesus christ) it says "for a child has been born to us,+.
a son has been given to us;and the rulership* will rest on his shoulder.+his name will be called wonderful counselor,+ mighty god,+ eternal father, prince of peace.

David_Jay, thanks for that well thought out and very respectable response. Off topic here, but what OT prophesies do Jews believe are about the Messiah? Do you know any specific examples off hand?
