Jehovah's Witnesses believe that the Scriptures alone quite plainly demonstrate that Jesus and the Almighty are separate distinct persons, and the Almighty created Jesus as His firstborn son.
(Colossians 1:15) the firstborn of all creation
(Mark 10:18) Jesus said to him: 'Why do you call me good? Nobody is good, except one, God.
(Revelation 3:14) the Amen says, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation by God
(Philippians 2:5-6) Christ Jesus, who, although he was existing in God's form, gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God
(John 8:42) Neither have I come of my own initiative at all, but that One sent me forth
(John 12:49) I have not spoken out of my own impulse, but the Father himself who sent me has given me a commandment as to what to tell and what to speak
(John 14:28) I am going my way to the Father, because the Father is greater than I am
(1 Corinthians 15:28) But when all things will have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will also subject himself to the One who subjected all things to him
(Matthew 20:23) this sitting down at my right hand and at my left is not mine to give, but it belongs to those for whom it has been prepared by my Father
(1 Corinthians 11:3) I want you to know that the head of every man is the Christ; ...in turn the head of the Christ is God
(John 20:17) I am ascending to my Father and your Father and to my God and your God.
(Deuteronomy 6:4) Jehovah our God is one Jehovah
(1 Corinthians 8:4-6) There is no God but one. For even though there are those who are called "gods," whether in heaven or on earth, just as there are many "gods" and many "lords," there is actually to us one God the Father, out of whom all things are, and we for him

There are several instances in which the Jehovah's Witnesses have tampered with the text of the Bible to better correlate with what they believe over the original text.
John 1:1 (original) "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God"
John 1:1 (JW Bible) "In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was a God."
Jehovah's witnesses believe Jesus to be the Son of God, but not the flesh incarnation of God Himself. They believe that the angle Gabriel was actually Jesus manifested in angelic form, then was manifested again in human form in His physical birth of Mary.
Jesus made it very clear, however, throughout the gospels that He was not only the Son of God, but also God.
JW's have also tampered with Colossians 1. Forgive me. I don't have a Bible with me right now to quote it, but it is changed slightly (but greatly) to depict their beliefs.
The author of Hebrews tells us that Jesus Christ was not only the Son of God, but the EXACT representation of God.
Jesus Christ is God. Not just His son.

I don't think Mormons pay too much attention to the Bible, and as for the JW's, they have their own version of the Bible that alters John 1:1 to read, "and the word was a God", rather than God.

So wheres your question, sounds more like you're making a statement. I'm a Christian and believe the Word of God the mormon's JW and other groups will be held accountable themselves at judgement.

You got things messed up. Isaiah new nothing about Jesus. John 1:1 translated from Greek has no definite or indefinite article. It can be "a god" or "God".

Jesus is the Son of God. Since we are talking about the Word, why don't we look at the WORDS that Jesus himself said:
"Our Father, Who Art in Heaven, Hallowed Be Thy Name."
He was praying to His Father and showed us how to pray.
(note: I am not a jehovah's witness, I am a Christian but believe that Jesus words tell us a lot and it's okay to pray to the FATHER. I think that once you have found Jesus in your life, he shows you how to pray to GOD, the Father.)

Are you trying to stir up trouble? Don't you think there is enough hatred in the earth already?
You believe what you believe and let others do the same.
In the face of unbelievers is not the place for such discussions

You have obviously been brainwashed if you believe that Jesus is God. There is no proof for that, so what can it be except brainwashing? The Bible is a form of brainwashing.
