And you should treat others as you wish to be treated, I would never call you a liar, that's just plain wrong. A "lie" is a WILLFUL distortion of the facts.

Why would I bring attention to them and admit my error???

Yes, they do. If you are so confident, then why are you not a baptised member? What exactly is holding YOU back?
Jehovah's Witnesses consider many actions to be "serious sins", for which baptized Witnesses are subject to disfellowshipping or formal reproof. Actions for which a member can be disfellowshipped include: Abortion, adultery, apostasy[18], bestiality, blood transfusions, drug abuse, drunkenness, extortion, fornication, fraud, gambling, heresy, homosexual activity, idolatry, incest, interfaith activity, "loose conduct"[19], manslaughter, murder, "perverted sex relations",[20] polygamy, pornography,[21] sexual abuse, spiritism, theft, and use of tobacco.

Numerous passages refer to Jesus Christ as God (Isaiah 9:6; John 20:27-28; 1 Timothy 3:16; Titus 2:13; Hebrews 1:8-9).
Again, God—that is, the God family—at present comprises God the Father and God the Son, Jesus Christ.

I just want you to know that the whole "Jesus is God" thing has been proven false in so many ways. In my theological way of thinking we see Jesus as the "God" of the Old Testament who came in the flesh to reveal the "Father", who is the God of both testaments.

The Holy Spirit is never listed in Scripture as a third person who is also God. For instance, the apostle Paul says we are to be aspiring to understand the "mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge" (Colossians 2:2-3). There is no mention here of the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is not a person but is the power, mind, life and shared essence of God (compare Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8; Romans 15:13; Romans 8:27; 1 Corinthians 2:16; John 4:24; 5:26; 6:63).

I am just about ready to put you on ignore, because your slandering of MY EXPERIENCE and what I KNOW is true and happened to ME, you weren't there you have NO way of knowing therefore NO right to minimize my experience. I find that along the lines of emotional abuse.
So, you still have NOT answered the question.

The entire family of God is linked through the Holy Spirit... which is the Spirit of God. The reason I call the Holy Spirit a "force" or "power" is because if this same spirit resides in all christians, it would be more than one god. A god for me, a god for you, a god for Jim-Bob up the road, etc.
Bible quote
Matthew 7
Judging Others
1"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
3"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.
6"Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces.
