The Current Teaching Of The Watchtower Society:
The Society does not believe in worshipping Jesus: since Jesus is not Jehovah and only Jehovah is worthy of our worship, then Jesus should not be worshipped.
What the Bible Says about WORSHIP:
| Jesus accepted worship from Thomas | Jhn 20:28 |
| All angels told to worship Jesus | Hbr 1:6 |
| Wise men worshipped Him | Mat 2:11 |
| Leper worshipped Jesus | Mat 8:2 |
| Ruler bowed to Jesus | Mat 9:18 |
| Blind man worshipped Jesus | Jhn 9:38 |
| Woman worshipped Him | Mat 15:25 |
| Mary Magdalene worshipped Him | Mat 28:9 |
| Disciples worshipped Him | Mat 28:17 |
NOTE: The Greek word PROSKUNEO is translated "worship" with reference to Jehovah twenty-two times in the New World Translation. The same word when used with reference to Jesus is translated as obeisance, reverence, and homage. This distorts the fact that actual worship was acknowledged and accepted by Jesus Christ.
