I've just only seen that thread, "If Jesus Is God" - now locked.
The video (by the Jehovah's Witnesses), has 46 questions to ask of Trinitarians.

No, Trinitarians are not wrong. Let's try to answer them.
1. If the Trinity is a Bible-teaching, then why does the Bible consistently identify God by singular person pronouns: I, Me, He, Him....instead of We, Us or Them.
Whoever came up with that question, must've forgotten what God has stated in the Book of Genesis.
Genesis 1
26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”
27 So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.
The concept of the Trinity is very much given in that statement - Three in One. Take note that the following statement after He used the plural forms - "So God created mankind in HIS OWN image, in the image of GOD, he created them - they (us and our), are all referred to as that One God.
Another time God used the term "us."
Genesis 11
7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.”
Those are clearly stated. We may not fully understand the Trinity, but the concept of three-in-one is quite clear.
The first question in that video is wrong. God did indeed use the plural terms "us," and "our."
May I throw this question to JW:
Why would God use the terms "us" and "our?" Who was He speaking to?
He couldn't have been be referring to angels - nowhere in the Bible does it say that angels were created in the image and likeness of God! Angels are created beings - they're not CO-CREATORS of God.
