Wait a sec.... Your thread title asks everyone, but your opening post only asks JWs. Which is it that you want?

It's just the standard Christian nonsense that Jesus is divine in some way, pre-existing his incarnation as a man.
What do YOU think it means?

Reading afore and after, I see verse 9 as a part of the whole. Jesus' journey, lives and deaths, IMO, was preparation for all to follow in rebirth from the dead. He showed how all humankind can live and die in humility, grace, and love, to their final resurrection in salvation.
15and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.
16For surely it is not the angels He helps, but the descendants of Abraham. 17For this reason He had to be made like His brothers in every way, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, in order to make atonementh for the sins of the people.
18Because He Himself suffered when He was tempted, He is able to help those who are being tempted.

But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
Hebrews 2:9
It's about the inability to distinguish illusion from reality.
Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: [neither] let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.
For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against [them that are] quiet in the land.
Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, [and] said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen [it].
Psalms 35:19-21
