Jesus is "a god" is a frequent lie.
"Jehovah" is the name by which we can be saved.

"We need to examine, not only what we personally believe, but also what is taught by any religious organization with which we may be associated." –The Truth That Leads To Eternal Life, 1981, page 13.
"The book then raises the logical question. 'Is it reasonable to assume that the religion imposed at one's birth is necessarily the whole truth?' Thus, every person is encouraged to examine other religions with an open mind." –The Watchtower, April 1, 1991, page 17.
"Yes, the international society of Jehovah's Witnesses is living proof that hatred can be abolished. ... It is a foreglimpse of a worldwide program to eliminate hatred and it's causes." –The Watchtower, June 15, 1995, page 8.
"Jehovah's Witnesses, in their eagerness for Jesus' second coming, have suggested dates that turned out to be incorrect. Never in these instances, however, did they presume to originate predictions 'in the name of Jehovah'. Never did they say 'These are the words of Jehovah'." –Awake!, March 22, 1993, page 4.
"Why, then, do the nations not realize and accept the approach of this climax of judgment? It is because they have not heeded the world-wide advertising of Christ's return and his second presence. Since long before World War I Jehovah's witnesses pointed to 1914 as the time for this great event to occur." –The Watchtower, June 15, 1954, page 370.
"As far back as 1879, the publishers of this magazine pointed to the year 1914 as a marked year in Bible prophecy, as the starting point for what the Bible calls "'the time the end.'" –Awake!, October 8, 1972, page 15.
"No creature or organization on earth can truly presume to sit as the supreme tribunal of interpretation of the holy bible." –The Watchtower, July 1, 1943, page 202.

Inspired by Farkel, here's another oldie but goodie:
"the Pleiades is the place of the eternal throne of God." and
"It has been suggested, and with much weight, that one of the stars of that group is the dwelling place of Jehovah"

Reniaa, You actually made me laugh. Being a fellow Brit we can both see the benefit of the NHS, and don't mind paying a bit extra in tax to fund it.
