It is hard to understand what you are asking so I'm just going to warn you to stay away from the JWs.
I have much experience because my mother and some of her siblings are JWs. One of my cousins left the JWs after 40 years. I have studied with them and studied the material they have provided for me.
The witnesses appear to know a great deal about the Bible however they don't really. They know what the Watchtower tells them is in the Bible but it is EXTREMELY distorted. The book that they call "The Bible" was not translated by Hebrew or Greek scholars. I have a copy and I cannot call it the Word of God. The best description I can think of is to say it is like ABC gum or else it is like being short-sheeted.
My mother proudly tells me that JWs read the whole "Bible" every 3 years. They are not read it on their own however. I gave my mother a copy of The Daily Walk Bible and told her that if she would read it with me in 2005 I would read The NWT with her in 2006 but she turned me down. I made the same offer again in 2006 and was turned down again. For 2007 I am going to tell her that we could read the NWT together from cover-to-cover but I just know she will turn me down again.
I encourage you to read a Bible like The Daily Walk Bible. It is divided into daily readings so you can read the whole Bible in 1 year. The first time I read it I found it to be so good that I finished it in 90 days.
If you want to know God and have a personal relationship with Him, He will gladly help you.
I heard some wonderful news today from a friend whose daughter has a boyfriend who has been studying with the JWs. He gave in and went to a Baptist church last Sunday and was so interested that he wants his whole family to join him this Sunday.

Hmmmmm I'm not quite sure what your question is. Jehovah IS omnipotent, which means he is the Almighty having great power or authority.
The Bible does talk about sex before marriage, which is referred to as "fornication." Here is more: http://www.watchtower.org/library/g/2004/7/22a/article_01.htm
It would be better if you asked people in the Kingdom Hall these questions rather than refer to the internet. People tend to be biased around here about Jehovah's Witnesses. Look at the main website for answers http://www.watchtower.org or in the Watchtower/Awake Publications or find answers from the elders or people you study with. It's much better.

Excuse me, hard to understand your question.
Quite frankly, stay away from Jehovah's Witnesses. Find a good church that teaches from the bible only. JW's are confused times ten about many things, including the person of Jesus Christ.
May God protect and guide you in Jesus' name.
