Yeah, Jesus is in there somewhere between one and four times, inclusive.
I've never been 100% clear about where Jehovah Witnesses, Mormons, and Muslims stand on Jesus.
Jehovah's Witnesses believe that Jesus as "a god", and not THE God. They conform to the old Arian "heresy," of which at one time, was the ruling viewpoint. I believe Constantine put an end to them, or at least inititiated their end in days ancient.
Mormons, as well, believe Jesus was "a god" and not THE God. Although, to the Mormons, even Jehovah is merely "a god" too, and that all Mormons become gods in the next life. Mormonism is a very confusing religion... almost as confusing as Scientology.
Muslims believe that Jesus was only a prophet of God. Jesus was the second to last true prophet of God, with Mohammed being the last.

Mormonism is confusing because it has been amended so many times. It's a far different animal today than what Joseph Smith originated - mainly because the Mormon elders had to constantly fix mistakes and contradictions.

Of course the adherents to LDS churches are not aware of these changes, because the role of the believer is to believe, and not question or research. In spite of the obvious fixes to Mormon doctrines, and a glossing over of its history, it is still a strong and vibrant religion that is increasing in numbers throughout the world. It is no longer just an American church. This simply goes to show that a successful religion need not be founded upon truth. Truth is not necessarily found in large numbers or in strength.
