[net.religion.christian] Jehovah's Witnesses and the Bible

The only comment I can make about the JW's translation are these:

   The word "Jehovah" is inserted numerous times into the New Testament,
even though the name of God does not appear anywhere in any Greek text.

   They have edited the beginning of the Gospel According to John to read:
 
     "In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word
      was *a* God."

(They are Arians, after all.)

   In general, I got the vague impression that it was essentially the KJV
text, edited slightly to fit their theological tastes.
