The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (LDS) teaches that God the Father, his son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost are three distinct personages and make up what is called the Godhead. Each has a purpose and role. Through the crucifixion and atonement of Jesus Christ, all mankind may be saved. God the Father and his son Jesus Christ put together a plan, called the plan of happiness, plan of salvation, in the beginning, that allows us to be born to this earth, received a mortal body, and learn to live by faith and to live by keeping the commandments.
All this is possible by the love of God and the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

Jehovah's Witness teach that Jesus and Jehovah (God the Father) are separate entities, not the same person as some religions teach (We shall make man in our image). And that the Father is superior than Jesus (My Father is Greater than Me), not that they are equal.
Please, I would like to correct some wrong impressions some of you have of Jehovah's Witnesses. We, like the rest of you, are Christians because we believe in Jesus Christ and that he is the Messiah, God Almighty's son, who was born of earthly parents and who died on a stake to redeem mankind from sin. It is just that we believe the right being to worship and pay homage to is God Almighty and that is Jehovah for even Jesus taught us the Lord's prayer in which he said, you must pray this way..."Our Father (meaning Jehovah), who art in heaven...." He did not instruct us to pray to him but to his Father alone however, all prayers made to his Father must be coursed through him just as the Lord's prayer ends in..."through Jesus Christ, our lord. Amen."
When Jesus Christ gave up his life for mankind, he fulfilled Jehovah's prophecy and earned a rightful seat in heaven with the Father. Thus, he became the mediator between man and the Father which is why all prayers to the Father are always coursed through the Son (No one can go to the Father except through Me). I hope I have cleared some misconceptions that are being alluded to Jehovah's Witnesses.

Christianity.....isn't a religion...it's our lifestyle. We believe in the trinity (God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit). A Jehovah Witness isn't a Christian. A Christian is a follower of Jesus Christ who believes that he is Emmanuel: God is with us or God in Flesh.

The church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. There is a lot of Biblical evidence to support the teaching too.
Only equal if you mean they are one in purpose.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints aka Mormon.
1 WE believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.
2 We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam's transgression.
3 We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.
4 We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.
5 We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof.
6 We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth.
7 We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth.
8 We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.
9 We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.
10 We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory.
11 We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.
12 We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.
13 We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul—We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

If I understand what you are saying: None. Belief in those things would instantly disqualify any such group from being considered orthodox.
