Hey!
If YOU genuinely care to know what Jehovah's Witnesses believe, may I suggest you go to the following articles:
Is the Trinity Clearly a Bible Teaching?--
http://www.watchtower.org/e/ti/article_03.htm
What About Trinity "Proof Texts"?--
http://www.watchtower.org/e/ti/article_08.htm
How Did the Trinity Doctrine Develop?--
http://www.watchtower.org/e/ti/article_04.htm
Those articles are written by far more eloquent people than I, who understand both your beliefs in the Trinity, and their own. And, when you want a true answer to your question, shouldn't you go to the source? So, my suggestion, go to the source of all Jehovah's Witnesses logic. Who knows, you might find flaws in your logic, or in JW's, and then can fix either belief accordingly.
But it's up to you. I'm just suggesting.
Luv ya,
Tashi :)

the two LDS and Jehovah s witnesses are man made cults that attack the reality surpassed to us via Christ and the Apostles. they're very comparable to the Judaiizers and Gnostics that the apostle Paul grow to be continuously refuting in his 13 letters of the recent testomony. the two LDS and Jehovah s have been based by applying adult males, Joseph Smith and Charles Taze Russel who didn t like the grace message and desperate that the genuine bible were corrupted for the period of the a protracted time. the reality of the problem is, the Bible, the two previous testomony and New testomony have been fantastically preserved for the period of the a protracted time. there is basically salvation and atonement via faith in Jesus Christ. All others concentration on faith reliable works and obedience to get to heaven. In different words mans own efforts the place because of the fact the genuine bible (no longer NWT) tells us guy can t get to heaven via his own works and obedience, yet basically via faith in Christ. Christ s blood on my own has saving capacity. The hypo-static Union, Christ being completely a guy and completely God makes him the only ideal sacrifice for humanity. he's the only skill of salvation. Whosoever will come and kneel till now him he will provide eternal existence, without human works as all of mans works are altogether ineffective and as filthy rags till now a holy God, Psalm 39:5 and Isaiah sixty 4:6. Jesus stated in John 14:6, i'm the way, the reality and the existence no guy comprises the father yet by applying me.

The trinity became an explanation for the fact that three names for God are given in the Bible: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each name has the same qualities and attributes. Each is described as omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent, eternal, Lord, God, Almighty, involved in creation, the truth, sanctifying and giving eternal life, raising the dead and inspiring the prophets. They are describing one being - God. Different names for the same personality.

well i don't belong to either or these denominations but i believe that they are separate, but in likeness they are one.
In John 14: 6 to 9 I think it is its states that I am the way the truth and the light and none comes to the father except through me, If they were the one person he would have no need to say that however what he was showing is that they work together in unison. also Mat 3.5 there was a voice from the heavens that said: This is my Son, the beloved, whom I have approved if they were one god would not have bothered introducing him as his son.

One God. Moses wrote " “I am Jehovah your God, . . . You must never have any other gods against my face [or, any other gods in defiance of me]. You must not make for yourself a carved image or a form like anything . . . You must not bow down to them nor be induced to serve them, because I Jehovah your God am a God exacting exclusive devotion.” (Ex. 20:2-5)
There is Nothing to Suggest that Jehovah took Moses aside and said.." Well Moses, there are 2 Others up here with me which make up the godhead, but we speak as One".so run with it Old Man.

Mormons believe in a Trinity comprised of three individual divine beings. Mormons believe in the Trinity but have a slightly different view than other Christians. Mormons tend to read the New Testament more literally than other Christians when considering this question.
We believe in the divinity of the Father, the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Ghost. We believe they are physically separate beings, but that they function in perfect harmony of will and purpose as one monotheistic unit, called the "Godhead," or, as Mormons often shorten it, just "God."
The difference between Mormons and other Christians is that other Christians technically believe that the three members of the Trinity are somehow simultaneously "one and three," but when they talk about the Trinity casually they typically speak of its three members as if they were separate beings. In casual speech Mormons speak the same way about the Trinity, except they actually do believe they are three separate beings (but one in purpose).
To quote Jeffery R. Holland, one of the world-wide leaders of the Mormon Church: "We believe these three divine persons constituting a single Godhead are united in purpose, in manner, in testimony, in mission. We believe Them to be filled with the same godly sense of mercy and love, justice and grace, patience, forgiveness, and redemption. I think it is accurate to say we believe They are one in every significant and eternal aspect imaginable except believing Them to be three persons combined in one substance, a Trinitarian notion never set forth in the scriptures because it is not true."

I already know. God is our Father in Heaven. Jesus Christ was his literal son who was crucified to atone for our sins, was then resurrected and has a tangible body as we know from the scriptures. That leaves the Holy Ghost who cannot possibly be the same person as Christ since he is a spirit. So are they one in purpose? Of course. Are they the same being? No, and there is no possible way to misconstrue this if you read your scriptures.

No.
We (Mormons) believe that God, Jesus, and the Holy Ghost are three separate beings.
I'm not going to carm, their information is bias and faulty at best.

No.
...(Deuteronomy 6:4) Jehovah our God is one Jehovah.
...(James 2:19) You believe there is one God, do you? You are doing quite well. And yet the demons believe and shudder.
