"How can one witness to a Jehovah's Witness? They know so much about the bible and even revered Jesus but they don't believe that Jesus is God." Rocio Soto

I make it a habit not to try and convince a Jehovah's Witness that Jesus is God in human form. There are two reasons for this.

The first is that they have their own version of the Bible that removes references to the true nature of Jesus.

Second, when Jesus asked Peter "Who do you say that I am?" Jesus said to him that flesh and blood hadn't revealed that truth to him, but "my Father who is in Heaven." God is the one who reveals who Jesus is, so I leave that up to Him.

So you have two insurmountable hurdles if you argue doctrine with a JW. They move the goalposts, and they are spiritually blind.

The key to unlocking the door to them is to identify the real issue.

That issue is that JW's are a works righteousness religion. You can uncover this by saying, "There's a knife in my back and I have three minutes to live. What should I do to enter the Kingdom?" It's then that you will discover that they are trusting in works for their salvation rather than in the grace of God through Jesus Christ.

So you have to put them up the River Niagara without a paddle.

Strip them of their false hope. No one will be saved through good works or by being religious. The way to do that is to take them through the spiritual nature of God's Law (the Ten Commandments). Then share the biblical gospel with them--that we are saved by grace through faith alone (without works), and pray that God opens their eyes to the truth.

Once they are truly born again they will leave the Jehovah's Witnesses and become witness of Jesus Christ:

"But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and YOU SHALL BE WITNESS TO ME in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth" Acts 1:8, caps added)

Jesus preached that we are all gods.
Where ever did he claim to be God?

He prayed to God before performing any miracles. He told the thief he'd be with him in his father's house. He never ever said he was God, please stop crucifying his legacy.

Jehovahs-witnesses are labeled all sorts but at least the practice only what the Bible teaches, although they tend to go overboard. Their offense is not as grievous as other Christians who mutilate the legacy of Jesus by equating him to God. It's just ludicrous.

Modified:
Jesus is indeed God. 1 Timothy 3:16, John 1:1, John 14:8-12, Isaiah 9:6

JW members who have been indoctrinated are difficult to convert. They have been trained to ignore the truth and follow their deceptive teachings. The worst of their teachings is the denial of the existence of hell which is clearly revealed in the Bible. I wish they could see the doom that awaits them. Please, give your life to Jesus. He is the only way to God. Otherwise, you will face his wrath.

The problem is the interpretation of the bible.
Same verse, different readers would tell you different meanings.
The Bible can be both straightforward and ambiguous, depends on who's interpreting it.
But I just believe it's too grievous an offense professing Jesus as God, especially cos that's not only erroneous and a blasphemy but a blatant and callous mutiny to his legacy.

God is One. Jesus and the Father are One. The Son has all the attributes of the Father. If not, why did the Jews seek to kill him?

"But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work. Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God" (John 5:17-18).

The Jews in the verse I quoted above also thought it was blasphemous for Jesus to claim that He was equal to God.

"For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, said the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall" (Malachi 4:1-2).

Did you see the word Sun (with the 'S' in uppercase)? Who do you think will be your Judge on the Last day if you don't kiss the Son now?

You only proved my point. Using another ambiguity to explain an ambiguity.
Did you read the whole chapter? How does it in any way or form refer to Jesus or the son of God?
It depicts time, a judgment day of sort when the sun would wipe out the wicked while the same sun would have a healing effect on the righteous.

How does this in any way or form relate to Jesus being God.
But like I pointed out, you can choose to interpret the Bible however way to suit your purpose.

The holy scriptures are only ambiguous to those whose eyes had been darkened. Let the Sun of righteousness shine in your heart so that you can see with the eyes of your understanding. Here are other verses that show who the Lord Jesus Christ is:

"If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated me and my Father" (John 15:24).

"There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him" (John 3:1-2).

We can see from the verses above that Jesus shares the same attributes with God. No man can do the same work that God does except Christ. Even Nicodemus acknowledged that truth. Do you?

If you are well versed in the Bible you should be able to see the oneness, sameness and likeness of Jesus Christ in authority and power with God the Father. Why would you allow rigidity in your religion and tradition to hinder you from seeing that Jesus continues the work that the Father has started and they are inseparable? The Jews of His days made the same mistake when they allowed their religion to blindfold them from seeing Jesus as the Christ.

"The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed" (John 5:10).

"The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven" (John 6:41).

You will not come to Christ and you prevent others who truly believe from coming to Christ because of the rigidity of your traditions.

"Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews. Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught. And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?" (John 7:13-15)

"These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue" (John 9:22).

Nicodemus acknowledged not only that Jesus comes from God but that no man or prophet could do those works which Jesus did. Jesus did the works only God could do which proves that Jesus is one with God, they are inseparable in character, in attributes and in Power.

You keep beating around the bush.
Where did Jesus profess himself as God?
Not like God but that he is God.

From God of course. Jesus' shares the same Power with God. Whatever the Father initiated the Son completes. Whatever the plan the Father makes the Son fulfils. The Father and the Son are inseparable in eternity, in infinity, in Omnipotence, in oneness and authority.
