You guys bow down before her.

That's not "misrepresentation;" that's evidence.

But all "evidence" must be rightly interpreted. (Since you don't believe in interpretation, you frequently misinterpret things.) And bowing does not necessarily imply worship. It can also be a sign of honor or respect. For example, after the deacon incenses the congregation, he bows toward the congregation. In doing so, he is not worshipping the congregation. And the same is true when we bow or kneel before an icon or image of a saint to pray.
