I still dont believe in the trinity doctrine completely. Lately though I have been reading other translations and listening to Ex-JW testimonials online. Granted most of these testimonials are from Ex-JW, Born Again Christians. Anyway I am starting to really think that Jesus Christ could be almighty god. I mean the NWT was so blatantly mis-translated to remove any incling of the diety of christ. I think there is something to it.
Even some of the stuff they left in the NWT indicates that Jesus is more than they say he is. Examples from NWT:
(John 2:19-22) 19
In answer Jesus said to them: "Break down this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." 20 Therefore the Jews said: "This temple was built in forty-six years, and will you raise it up in three days?" 21 But he was talking about the temple of his body. 22 When, though, he was raised up from the dead, his disciples called to mind that he used to say this; and they believed the Scripture and the saying that Jesus said.Why didnt Jesus just say, Jehovah will raise it up? Who ressurected Jesus?
(John 20:26-29) 26
Well, eight days later his disciples were again indoors, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, although the doors were locked, and he stood in their midst and said: "May YOU have peace." 27 Next he said to Thomas: "Put your finger here, and see my hands, and take your hand and stick it into my side, and stop being unbelieving but become believing." 28 In answer Thomas said to him: "My Lord and my God!" 29 Jesus said to him: "Because you have seen me have you believed? Happy are those who do not see and yet believe."Doesnt the bible speak of only one god? Why does the WT call Jesus a god?

w92 1/15 p. 23 What Do the Scriptures Say About "the Divinity of Christ"? ***Addressing the resurrected Jesus, the apostle Thomas exclaimed: "My Lord and my God!" (John 20:28) This and other accounts were "written down that [we] may believe that Jesus is the Christ the Son of God." And Thomas was not contradicting Jesus, who had sent His disciples the message: "I am ascending to . . . my God and your God." (John 20:17, 30, 31) So Thomas did not think that Jesus was Almighty God. Thomas may have addressed Jesus as "my God" in the sense of Christ?s being "a god," though not "the only true God." (John 1:1; 17:1-3) Or by saying "my God," Thomas may have been acknowledging Jesus as God?s Spokesman and Representative, even as others addressed an angelic messenger as though he were Jehovah.
What a ridiculous explanation? If even angels in the bible did not want worship and said so why didnt Jesus correct Thomas instead of commending him?
There are more but I dont want to bore you. What do you think? I am struggling with this everytime I go to the meetings and hear the speakers talk about Jesus.
