Whereu, when you suggest God murdered the first born in Egypt, I can only conclude you have not read the Bible account.
The Pharaoh of the day harshly oppressed the Jews - Exodus 1:8-14
It developed to the point of attempted genocide .
(Exodus 1:15, 16) Later the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives whose names were Shiphʹrah and Puʹah, 16 and he told them: “When you help the Hebrew women to give birth and you see them on the stool for childbirth, you must put the child to death if it is a son; but if it is a daughter, she must live.”
Around 80 years later Jehovah's patience had grown thin as the oppression increased. - Exodus 5:6-18
9 plagues later the nation became divided between those that recognized Jehovah was the true God and those that were unteachable.
Instructions were spelled out explaining how to avoid the 10th, the death of the first born. Jehovah's mercy is evident to all except the spiritually blind.

Your conclusions are incorrect.
God hardened the Pharaoh's heart to show the Egyptians who was boss.
What excuse do you propose for the murder of innocent babies and children who could never have played a part in oppressing the Jews.

And what excuse do you offer for the murder of countless victims in the supposed global flood many of who would never have heard of your God.

And what about the other immoral points that I raised.

The bible provides a very poor representation of a loving and just creator God of the universe if taken as literally as you and your Watchtower mates do, no matter what some authors claim it to be.

I'm still waiting for the answers to the the other questions that I raised.
