JW s: If Jehovah is the one true God, wouldn t that make Jesus a false god?
...and why would Jehovah send a false god to represent him as His son?

This isn't as straightforward as you might think. All Christians know that there has only ever been the One Being of the Almighty God, the one and the only true God, creator of time, space, matter and all life. Where Jehovah's Witnesses get confused is in claiming that Jehovah created the pre-mortal Jesus as a spirit creature - Michael the Archangel. Obviously, there can't be two true Gods, so they demote Christ Jesus to "a god" - Jehovah the Father being the BIG GOD and Jesus Christ, his Son as the little god. They don't worship the little god, of course, which is just as well, or they would be guilty of polytheism.
Because this is how they reason, they have had to change the Bible to fit in with their false idea of who Jesus Christ REALLY is.
They overlook the fact that the Bible declares the premortal Jesus is the eternal and uncreated Word of God through whom everything that was made came into existence. John 1:3 1:3 says that through him all things were made - in other words, the Word of God was himself never made. But that simple truth escapes them because they are conditioned to believe that Jesus is a created being and not part of the One Being of God.
I'm going to post links to a couple of article that explain just how wrong their reasoning is. They would do better just to read the Bible alone - and NOT the perverted NWT.

Your reasoning is flawed as the title God or god correctly and scripturally applies to more than one being.
The fact that the word Jehovah is a human invention from the 13th Century which they have added into scripture against Gods wishes is proof enough that JW's are a false religion, though there are many many more reasons which are factual and supported in the Hebrew and Greek scriptures that condemn the JW religion if not sufficient.
Jesus is in fact a God, his Father YHWH is Almighty God, and even Moses was called a God with a capital G by YHWH God himself.

No. Jesus is a created god-like, divine being. (Col 1:15) He´s not the Eternal God, Jehovah. Jesus is not the King of eternity. - Revelation 15:3; 1 Tim 1:17.

hi there
if jesus is another created god then yes he is a false god by definition according to Isaiah 43:10-13.
either that or god was lying, or ignorant about his creation, or pulling a swifty.
but I would not conclude that. I would conclude that jws are deceived by the false prophet telling them jesus is created. no scripture says that.
so stick with scripture not a false prophet.

It seems incredible, but the Jehovah's witnesses FLEEING to answer this question based on John 17: 3.
They never knew answer this question, but the apostates know (Jeremiah 9: 24) .. "Jesus used of modesty in John 17: 3," said the apostates.
Mark 10 : 17, 18

No more than Moses being God to Pharaoh.
Exodus 7:1)
(DARBY) And Jehovah said to Moses, See, I have made thee God to Pharaoh;
(KJV) And the Lord said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh:
No more than the human judges of Israel:
Ps 82:6
(ERV) I, God Most High, say, “You are gods, my own sons.
(ESV) I said, “You are gods, sons of the Most High, all of you;
Surely if Moses and the human judges can be gods. Then Jesus God's Firstborn Son can be a god.
Especially since it was Jehovah who made these ones gods.
Do we worship Moses? Should we worship human judges? Do we worship Jesus?
NO!
We worship only the Father.
This is what Paul tells us.
1 Cor 8:5, 6
(RSV) 5—as indeed there are many “gods” and many “lords”— 6 yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist,
Our worship goes to Jehovah the only true God, and not to the one He sent.

I am not JW. God is one. Jesus is another person. Jesus was living with God before he came to earth to teach us about God's kingdom and the way to inherit eternal life in God's kingdom.

Not really, it's trinitarians that make him a false God
Jesus was the Messiah, you know as in Christ
But son of God, his heavenly firstborn angelic son
Seriously, What other human, can you give all power and athority of those things of the heavens and the Earth?
They would not know, what is in the heavens
Of all of God's human prophets, Christ told us, of heavenly things
Just like he said in scripture to Nicodemus

'God Almighty' is Jehovah God; 'Mighty God' is the Christ:
"I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the LORD ( God Jehovah Isa 44:6; Gen 17:1; Exo 6:3 ), which is, and which was, and which is to come, the *Almighty*."
http://dnkjb.net/1189chapters/NT66REV01.htm
"And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The LORD ( *Jehovah* Deu 6:4 ) our God is one Lord:
"And thou shalt love the LORD ( *Jehovah* Deu 6:5; Jos 22:5 ) thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment." (Mark 12:29-30, DNKJB) http://dnkjb.net/1189chapters/NT41MRK12.htm#C12V29
"That they may know that thou, which art called Jehovah, art *alone*, even the *most* High over all the earth." (Psalm 83:18, Geneva Bible)
Jesus was Created:
"Jehovah *produced* me as the beginning of his way,
The earliest of his achievements of long ago." (Proverbs 8:22 NWT);
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
and the Word was a god (Or “was divine”)." (John 1:1, NWT);
"The Logos existed in the very beginning,
the Logos was with God, the Logos was *divine*.
"He was with God in the very beginning:
through him all existence came into being,
no existence came into being apart from him." (John 1:1-3, MNT)
http://tyndalearchive.com/scriptures/mnt.htm
"He is the **image of** the invisible God,
the *firstborn* of all creation." (Colossians 1:15, NWT);
“To the angel of the congregation in Laodice′a write:
These are the things that the Amen says, the faithful and true witness,
the **beginning of the creation** by God." (Revelation 3:14, NWT)
"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, *Mighty* God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." (Isaiah 9:6, ASV)
So, Christ was created by Almighty God,
and is considered to be *Mighty* God . . . not 'all-mighty'.
