Jehovah's Witnesses, whom do you consider Jehovah to be?

Update:

I didn't think it was that hard a question. I seem to have a lot of answers from non-JWs about their own beliefs. I wanted to know what JWs believe, and not even what others think JWs believe.

Update 2:

Not that I agree with the "best answer," but it does seem to be what JWs actually believe.

    Throughout the Scriptures Jehovah God is identified as the Creator.

    He is the Creator of the heavens, the Former of the earth and the Maker of it. Isa 45:18

    He is the Former of the mountains and the Creator of the wind and is the One who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all the things in them. God created all things. Eph 3:9

    Jesus Christ recognized Jehovah as the One who created humans, making them male and female. Hence, Jehovah is fittingly and uniquely called the Creator.

    In the Bible Encyclopedia "Insight on the Scriptures" Jehovah has several pages, identifying Him, as God Almighty, the Creator.

    Every other Biblical Encyclopedia I've read, Jehovah is limited to half a paragraph or one or two sentences.

    And yet the Psalmist said:

    (Psalm 8:1) 8 O Jehovah our Lord, how majestic your name is throughout the earth; You have set your splendor even higher than the heavens!

    (Psalm 7:17) 17 I shall laud Jehovah according to his righteousness, And I will make melody to the name of Jehovah the Most High.

    (Psalm 9:1) 9 I will laud [you], O Jehovah, with all my heart; I will declare all your wonderful works.  2 I will rejoice and exult in you, I will make melody to your name, O Most High. ב [Behth]

    (Psalm 18:49) 49 That is why I shall laud you among the nations, O Jehovah, And to your name I will make melody.

    (Psalm 30:12) 12 In order that [my] glory may make melody to you and not keep silent. O Jehovah my God, to time indefinite I will laud you. . .

    Baal [Lord] worshipers want people to forget God's name;

    (Jeremiah 23:27) 27 They intend to make my people forget my name by the dreams they relate to one another, just as their fathers forgot my name because of Baʹal.

    They consider "Jehovah" to be whoever the Watchtower Organisation tells them He is. That allows for "Jehovah" to change over time as well.

    Jehovah alone is God the father, Jesus is not god, he is the only begotten SON, and there is no trinity nor is it even mentioned in the Bible, except to speak of it as pagan & ungodly!
