My thoughts? It's either poorly translated by people relatively unfamiliar with Koine or deliberately mistranslated to support an agenda. I know which one I believe, but I'll let you decide for yourself.

I have not seen it, and not likely to. I already have too many versions.
Of those I have I prefer the king James version, perhaps because the language is so nice.

I don't particularly mind it. It is not my favourite Bible (My favourite bing the LDS KJV because of the foot-notes and becuase KJV English is just enjoyable and funny), and it isn't a particularly interesting version. I guess it's pretty accurate to the old texts, though.

TNWT is the one I grew up with. Its the bible that the Jehovah's Witnesses use and I was raised in a JW household... I wouldnt know if it is more or less correct than any other bible (as far as translation goes). I just know that thats the one I was used to.

Franz, Frederick who was probably the only one of the 6 "translators" to have actually translated.
His HIGHLY QUALIFIED stats are;
21 semester hours of classical Greek, some Latin.

Partially completed a two-hour survey course in Biblical Greek in junior year.

Self-taught in Spanish, biblical Hebrew and Aramaic.

Notice classical Greek not biblical.

The other 5 had no training in biblical language.
In 1954 in Scotland he failed a simple test on his Hebrew skills,

More of a paraphrase of the KJV 1611, but with some interesting changes.
Even more peculiar, these changes often countradict themselves in other parts.
Check it out.
Don't take anyone elses word for it, compare, that's when you discover the truth.

Is this the JW version? If it is then it's most likely full of JW traditions...
