However, the sectarian Jehovah has nothing to do with God the Father of Christians, nor with the God of the Jews. The idea of one's own god among the Jehovah's Witnesses is crudely materialistic. It is limited in space, i.e., localized, not omnipresent, and exists in time (i.e., not unchanging):

… Where there is intellect, there is reason. Where there is a mind, there is a brain in a body of a certain shape... God is a person with a spiritual body... Heaven is the "dwelling place" of God...

The power plant is located at a specific location in or near the city. But it supplies electricity to the entire neighborhood. The situation is similar with God (! — A. D.). He lives in heaven. However, His holy spirit, His invisible active power, can be felt everywhere, in the entire universe. Through His holy spirit, God created the heavens, the earth, and all living things. God did not need to be present in person to create all of this. He can send His spirit, His active power, and do what He wants, even if He is very far away. [159]

Initially, the Jehovah's Witnesses believed that God was permanently located on the star Alcyone in the Pleiades constellation: it was not until 1953 that the mention of this star as the place of God's residence disappeared from their publications (see the epigraph to this chapter).

Jehovah was preceded not only by time but also by space: "Before he began to create his creatures, Jehovah was completely alone in outer space." [160] Moreover, from the Jehovist description, he appears as the supreme egoist: "At the same time, He could not feel loneliness, since He is perfect in Himself and needs no one." [161] The primitive theories of sectarians, who imagine their god as a self-satisfied and self-satisfied egoist, most clearly illustrate "from the opposite" that the words of the Apostle "God is love" (1 John 4:8) are a Trinitarian formula.

Man cannot communicate directly with a self-sufficient Jehovah. God, who has a "spiritual body," communicates directly only with persons like him who dwell in "spiritual bodies," in Jehovistic terminology, with "gods." Man can learn about it only indirectly: by studying the world he created[162] and reading the Bible, which he transmitted telepathically to his chosen ones: "In view of the fact that God created reason, it was certainly not difficult for Him to enter into contact with the mind of His servants in order to provide them with the necessary information for writing." [163] Naturally, Jehovah can be known through the Bible only by reading Jehovah's Witness publications.

The Jehovah's Witnesses deny the Divinity of Jesus Christ, Who for them is a kind of supreme creation of God, but nothing more: "The first spiritual personality created by God appears to him as it were (emphasis added. — A.D.) the firstborn son." [164] They say that at first this creature was called Logos (He was called the Word of God. This title shows that He served in heaven as One who speaks for God[165]), then it became known as Michael the Archangel, and then for a time became man. Naturally, it never was and could never be God, since only man could redeem man. But on the other hand, "God loves him very much and will use him in order to destroy bad people and save obedient ones." [166] With a strange love Jehovah loves his "son as it were," whom he uses as an executioner. Well, if "like a son", then "like love". Let us also pay attention to the fact that the antonym of the word "bad" in the Jehovistic text is not the word "good," but the word "obedient."

The trouble is that Jehovah's Witnesses do not distinguish between the terms "to give birth" and "to create":

Jesus was a powerful spirit person in heaven. He had a spiritual invisible body, similar to the body of God (! – A.D.) <... > He was also called the "firstborn" and "only-begotten" Son... This means that He was created before all other spiritual sons of God, and that He alone was created directly by God. The Bible explains that this "firstborn Son participated with Jehovah in the creation of all other things. So when God said, "Let us make man in our image," He spoke to His Son. [167]

The purpose of Christ's earthly mission is described very touchingly in a pro-Jehovah's Witness source:
