Nice thread :)
Watchtower: Because the holy spirit does not have a name, "it" is not a person.
The idea of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit being different names for the same individual doesn't accord with scripture.
Matthew 28:19 (New International Version, ©2010)
19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit
Notice the "name", not "names".
JWs should see the full definition and useage of "name" here
