 The content of this article corresponds with another article: “God is literal in what He does, and the results of it. The Examples of ingenious self-destruction that is practiced by some people”. Link 

On Some Internet websites Link we can read that: “ Since Jehovah Witnesses believe that Jesus is god with a lowercase “g”. They are polytheists because they believe in two gods: a higher God with a capital “G” and a smaller god with a lowercase “g”. By rejecting having faith in One and Only God in Three persons/Holy Trinity, they fall into polytheism”.
This thought is an intellectual diamond Link. It shows that Jehovah Witnesses play with gods’ names and their importance as if it was some sort of an auction that is supposed to decide which god is better to be worshiped and celebrated. The author of the criticizing thought ,directed towards Jehovah Witnesses, lacks some logic in areas that haven’t been explored yet. There is lack of understanding of the Second Commandment of the Decalogue Link, that the book of Exodus has been giving for the last 3300 years : “ Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them…”

Exod 20: 4-6.
