Yesterday I made a simple question to JW’s: Explain the following verses: (and I gave a list of verses that show that Jesus is God). Not a bad word at all in my question.
Two of the 3 JW’s that replied came back with offenses to Christians in general and at least one of them reported me as "abusive".
Other people posted replies defending my question as legitimate.
As a result of the JW complain my question has been removed by Yahoo
What does that tell you?

My question was exactly this:
To JW: what do you do regarding these verses? (the list of verses followed- not an additional word)
You can't read it because Yahoo removed it. I will not reposte it since but I complained to Yahoo

In the Trintity, the Son proceeds from the Faher but He is co-eternal with the Father. He is the "logos"(the "thought" of the Father as indictated in Jn. 1:1, and the Wisdom of God, as indicated in Wis. 7:2 and 1 Cor. !.30). Well. the Father has always thought and have wisdom, so Christ has always existed with him. This "though" includes the idea that the Father has of himself, so it is perfect, powerful and all knowing as the Father is, to the point that it is a complete person, Jesus, who proceeds from the Father but whose existence did not begin at any point of time because He has always existed as the "logos" of the Father

It tells me they are not strong enough in their own faith and were threatened by your inquisition.

As a Jehovah's Witnesses, I will apologise for my brother or sister who may have offended you or was offended by you.
The trinity doctrine is a subject that cannot easy be discussed on this foreum as both parties are very passionate about who is God. Jehovah or Jesus. Of course, Jehovah Witnesses believe that Jehovah is the Almighty God as Ps. 83:13 states. Jesus is his only begotten son and the promised Messiah. The question is are they one and the same, are they equal, and part of a triune God?
I would suggest that you do research on the Trinity Doctrine and see where it came from, when it began being part of Christiantiy. Then note that some scriptures were later added to the bible. And some mistakes in translation from the original text.
The bottom line is that you can believe what you want to believe. But as the bible says we want to come to an "accurate knowledge of truth" 1 Tim. 2: 4; 2 Tim 3:7
As John 17:3 states "This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you the only true God, and the one whom you sent forth Jesus Christ."
Some scriptures you may want to consider: With regards to John 10: 30 "I and the father are one.." see also John 17: 21 &22 Jesus said "disciples all be one as he and father are one in union" They were to be united in thought and purpose.
Matt. 24: 36 "..day and hour no one knows, not even the son, only the father." John 14:28 "going away...to the father...father is greater than I am." John 5:15; John 6:38; John 7:16 Jesus doing his fathers will not his own. Col. 1:15; 1 John 4:9 Jesus prior existance in heaven. Jesus was begotten - had a beginning. John 3:16-18 Heb. 11: 17 Jesus put to death. Jesus baptized Luke 3:21 & 22 "...holy spirit like a dove came down upon him, and a voice came out of heaven: "You are my Son, the beloved, I have approved you." Holy spirit is active force. Holy spirit inspired writers of the bible. 2 Cor. 6: 6 ; Luke 11:20
Pray on the matter and ask for God's holy spirit to help you understand and see what happens. As Pro. 3: 5 states "Trust in Jehovah with all your heart and do not lean upon your own understanding."

That shows there are many different religions on this site that does not want the truth. I have had JW at my house, everytime it is never the same person, But one day a old man came about a year ago, So He wanted to talk & I said give me equal time, to him that was a different story, all I was going to do was open the bible that they claim to follow. He became restless.

I'm not sure but only 2 of over 6.7million witnesses came back with offences.
Kinda tells me they are a drop in the bucket.
Sorry I didn't get to answer your question myself. You should repost it and get more answers before you make judgements on a whole group of people.

Never deal with JWs.
You can't do anything with them.
Why bother answering or asking them?
It is an exercise in futility.

They don't like being shown they are wrong. Jesus was worshipped, accepted worship, called God, and did not rebuke anyone when called God.
