EVERY reputable Greek expert would translate this as Jesus being very God. The point of the Apostle John was that while Jesus is also very God, he is not the same person as God the father.
Ugh...they came to my door this morning.

I hope every baptist Christian here views a visit by JWs or other cult members as a WITNESSING OPPORTUNITY, & doesn't just dismiss them, which stiffens their belief in their cult.
Remember, those cultists believe they're already saved. But I remind'em that all judgment for salvation has been turned over to Jesus by "Jehovah", that they MUST come to JESUS first if they wanna come to Jehovah.
BTW, I only let'em know I'm a Baptist if they ask. -
Compare Isaiah 40:3 with Matthew 3:3.
Compare Numbers 21:5-6 with 1 Corinthians 10:9.
Compare John 1:3 with Genesis 2:4. -

The word "Jehovah" occurs over 3,000 times in the NWT! -

Used 15 times in the RV of 1881. "Yahweh" = 0.
Used 6889 times in the ASV of 1901. "Yahweh" = 0.
Used 6895 times in the MKJV. "Yahweh" = 0.
Used 6866 times in the LITV. "Yahweh" = 0.
Please. Do me a favor. Don't quote me or respond to me in any way from now on and I will do the same to you. I just can't take it any more. -
And we will be in heaven forever, so we should agree to get along and play nice my Brother! -
Yes, Jesus is God, as is His Father and the Holy Spirit. But the JWs don't believe that. (BTW, I recognize Jehovah, Yahweh, YHWH as all being God's name, while "God" is His title in English. I likewise recognize "Jesus" and "Yeshua" as the name of the Son of God, our Savior, when they're used in that context.)

I reckon it's my personality, but I'm VERY-firm in denouncing false doctrine such as that of the JWs. In talking at length to one, I make sure he/she knows where their "bible" came from, and the sordid history of the beginning of their denomination. (I try not to call it a "cult" in fronta them.)
To me, it comes down to whether they wanna believe a REAL Bible, or one composed by men. -
