I will return later to flesh this out and look forward to your requests for clarification

We don’t teach that Jehovah is omnipresent.

We do teach that Jehovah is omniscient. However when it comes to foreknowledge he does not choose to exercise it in all circumstances. https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1200001549#h=7

We do teach that Jehovah is omnipotent.

According to the https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/102005167 article by the Jehovah's Witnesses God is not omnipresent, but God is omnipotent and omniscient.

”The Bible’s Viewpoint

Is God Everywhere?

GOD is fittingly described as omnipotent and omniscient​—almighty and all-knowing. Yet, when attempting further to describe God’s greatness, some add a third term​—omnipresent. They believe that God is present everywhere simultaneously.

While none of these descriptive terms are found in the Bible, the first two are clearly supported by Scriptural teachings. (Genesis 17:1; Hebrews 4:13; Revelation 11:17) God is indeed omnipotent, and he is omniscient in the sense that nothing can be hidden from him. But is he omnipresent? Is God everywhere, or is he a person with a specific dwelling place?"

As can be seen the JW's teach that the terms "omnipotent and omniscient" are clearly supported by Scriptural teachings.
