Since Alicenevada left the discussion, just wondering if there are any Jehovah's Witnesses continuing in this discussion. The title of the thread is 'Question for Jehovahs Witnesses'. Your discussion might misinterpret the beliefs of JW's.
Just a thought

My question is if we don't worship the SAME Jesus. How in the world can Jw(s) think they are Christian?

When you say 'we don't worship the SAME Jesus', I guess I don't know which Jesus you think JW's worship. Or do you mean that we don't worship Jesus the same way?
I am not yet a baptised JW, but I will try to answer your question to the best of my ability.

Well I believe Jesus to be the Son of God and God himself yet you believe Him to be Michael. Not the same Jesus.

You're right, JW's, I, and many others not affiliated with JW's do not believe that Jesus IS God. The trinity is debatable, and has been debated to no end on here as to its scriptural soundness. Alice has already provided scriptures here or on another post that explain Michael.
From the scriptures I understand that Christians are to model themselves after Jesus, following in his footsteps. I pray to God through Jesus. I live my life by the standards and principles in the bible. I consider myself a follower of Christ. I will someday be baptised. Doesn't that make me a Christian?

13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
Since when does/did God share glory with anyone else who isn't God?
These scriptures would only make sense if you believe that Jesus is God

Speaking for myself, the scriptures that show me it is proper to pray to God through Jesus are John 14:13, 14 & 2 Corinthians 1:20.
