You put a lot for me to read and study. It'll take me a while so I'll start with the above.
You asked for scripture and I gave it to you.....
You believe that Jesus is Michael due to inferences that you see but not because it says so word for word. Isn't there a double standard?
No, I see it as one party pushing an unscriptural "doctrine" as if it cannot be wrong, but having no scriptural backing for this doctrine to begin with. How does such an important doctrine show up over 300 years after Jesus died, to become the very foundational doctrine of the whole of Christendom? !
We have no "doctrine" concerning the evidence pointing to Michael the name of being the son of God in heaven. Having it as a "belief" and not a doctrine means it is open to question and not in any way altering our view that Jesus was not God incarnate....the rest of scripture does that nicely.
The word Trinity is not in the bible either but people who believe in it see inferences being mentioned in it.
If Jesus was God Almighty, then surely he would have come out and said it directly? It is such an important part of being a Christian...knowing who you are giving your worship to ....and who you are praying to.....Jesus knew, and so do we. We have no doubts about who God is and who Jesus was on earth and who he is right now in heaven.
BTW The name Jehovah is not in the bible either. It's man-made. No one really knows God's name.
We have no doctrine about that either. We know that God's name in Hebrew is represented by the letters YHWH. As the Jews made it a practice not to utter the divine name, its pronunciation was lost....but whether we use Yahweh or Jehovah (as it is pronounced in English) matters little to a God who speaks all languages. There is no "J" in Hebrew. so if we are going to be pedantic about God's name spelled with a "J" instead of a "Y" then we will need to change the name of every Bible character whose name starts with a "J". Most of which incorporate the divine name in their meaning. So please don't start that conversation....
This is a side question: Who are the authors of the WT. Why should I trust what they write? I don't see any references.
The Watchtower is a Bible Society stretching back to the late 1800's. Its establishment was to provide Bibles and Bible based literature to those who were keen to read and understand the Bible for themselves, rather than relying on Christendom to feed them doctrines that they were now questioning.
Christendom had kept the Bible for their clergy to feed their flocks only what they wanted them to know. It was common to feel as if this Pastor was the only one who could dispense to the flock what they needed to know, just as the Catholic clergy had done before them....but when the Bible became available to the common man, some were finding things in God's word that Christendom had failed to teach them. They were questioning their clergy who seemed to have no answers because they themselves were taught these things at their seminaries.....they were fed the same distorted scripture that Catholicism had dispensed for centuries.Things began to change....
The Watchtower was used by "The International Bible Students Association" as Jehovah's Witnesses were then known. It was the product of a group of like-minded men from various denominations of Christendom, who felt compelled to meet together to discuss and research church doctrines as they compared with the Bible. No one man was in charge of this arrangement and no one denomination was favored in these discussions, so they were not a breakaway from any particular church, but a breakaway from Christendom itself and her unscriptural doctrines. They started as a small group back then and ended up with around 8.5 million members world wide in 2020.

They had a gifted public speaker named Charles Taze Russell, who was a spokesman for the group. He was independently wealthy and donated his money to the cause of truth, funding the printing of their first magazine originally called Zion's Watchtower. It gained a large public reading as excerpts and transcripts of Russell's talks were printed in newspapers all over the USA. It later graduated to radio as the good news spread and people liked what they heard. From there is was launched overseas as people of all nations responded to the Bible's message. Today we active in every nation on earth.
We believed that this was exactly what was foretold in Daniel ch 12 regarding the "time of the end". God was going to "cleanse, whiten and refine" his worshippers at this time and provide an "abundance of knowledge" that had been missing up until that time. (Daniel 12:4; 9-10) Many people acted on that knowledge and they too left Christendom and all their former religions behind.
The Watchtower Magazine (along with its companion AWAKE) has not missed a printing in over 100 years. It is now available online for all to read. The message they proclaim is the same...this world is doomed, and the introduction of God's Kingdom by his his Christ will rectify all that is plaguing the human race and destroying the earth itself. This is "the good news of the Kingdom" (Matthew 24:14)

By all accounts, this wonderful Kingdom is not far away......
