There are many religious organizations of the Western persuasion, positioning themselves as followers of Christ. Adepts of numerous sects may well call themselves Christians. Sometimes this can be heard from the lips of Jehovah's Witnesses.
The religious organization "Jehovah's Witnesses" has never been followers of the Christian faith. Jehovah's Witnesses became a product of Western Christianity (Protestantism) and in the process of their more than a century of development completely departed from the basic truths of any Christian Church (Orthodox, Catholic, Protestant).
The main reason why Jehovah's Witnesses are not Christians is the rejection of the basic doctrine of God. The Christian Church unequivocally affirms that God is the Holy Trinity. The "witnesses" reject this.
The next moment, which is an indicator of Christian faith, is the teaching about Christ as God. This dogma is not accepted by Jehovah's Witnesses. They say that Christ is only the Son, having a different (albeit similar) nature from the Father. This means that Christ is the creation of the Father and does not have a divine nature.
The Christian teaching about the Holy Spirit is also not accepted by Jehovah's Witnesses. In their understanding, the Holy Spirit is just a force, some indefinite energy of the Father.
It turns out that those religious organizations that do not accept the doctrine of the Trinity cannot be called Christian. Moreover, even if there is such a name in the name of the organization itself, it still does not mean anything. Jehovah's Witnesses are just that group of people for whom there is no concept of a Christian God.
This is the main reason that Jehovah's Witnesses cannot be called Christians. It should also be pointed out that in many countries Jehovah's Witnesses are not even considered a religious organization. For example, in France since 1999.
