John 14 v 1 shows Jesus and Jehovah are not 1.
Acts 2 v 4 and 17 clearly show the Holy spirit isnt a person,its Gods active force.
John 14 v 28 is total proof,otherwise Jesus would clearly be insane saying such things
toomany scriptures to prove it...but just a few for you to recall,I guess its hard when your reading false claims to remember the truth.

I'm sorry but you don't have the slightest clue what the Trinity doctrine teaches. Re: John 14:1, Christians do not believe that the man of the God-man hypostatic union is the Almighty; the created humanity is not the Almighty, God the Father. That is the first deception your group perpetuates.
Secondly, you do not understand what the term "person" means in the trinitarian world. It is not a human being like you or I. The Holy Spirit is spirit, and even though it is also referred to as God's power or force, it also meets the definition of a trinitarian person, a Spirit person, which can fill an individual. If you are honest with yourself take a look at these pages for a clear explanation of the Holy Spirit and related topics.

The mistake you are making is focusing on only one verse when there are many. You are wagging the dog by the tail, but even the Society encourages one to examine all of the evidence, right? And weigh it all?
Third, at John 14:28 where Jesus said that the "the Father is greater than I" it was the created creature Jesus, not God, who was speaking. This is elemental trinitarianism, basic Christianity, and the church fathers of the first centuries were fully aware of these apparent contradictions that you are stumbling over. You should educate yourself to the fundamentals rather than misleading people with the JWs' version of Trinitarianism which is patently false. They know that, and have managed to fool you as well. If you don't understand the difference between immanent and economic trinity you should probably stay out of the discussion until you get a better grasp.
Personally, I would start with proof texts that Jesus was, and is, God, right here. You might learn something of value. The Society is 1,000 percent wrong in this regard.
