I take it when you say "self existent" you mean made himself exist or has always existed ... if so, no, we don't believe Jesus is "self existent" we belive THE WORD ("Jesus" in his prehuman form) is a created being that owes his existence to his Father YHWH.

Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe Jesus is God. We are not Trinitarains.
