They publish and use the New World Translation, and it is extremely different from your average Bible, but you’d have to be familiar with one to notice the differences, but they are there.
We use the New World Translation. Check it out on Wikipedia. We use this for our own study but if you read our literature many different translations are used.
Why don’t you find out for yourself (NKJV) = New King James Version
(NWT) = New World Translation the Jehovah Witness use the New World Translation, Baptists should be using the King James Version the New King James Version is very similar but has also been edited in some areas so the KJV should always be the final authority.
Can you see the difference?
1 Corinthians 16:22
(NKJV)
If anyone does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed. O Lord, come!
(NWT)
If anyone has no affection for the Lord, let him be accursed. O our Lord, come!
Romans 10:13(KJV)
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
(NWT)
For “everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved.”
Luke 4:4 (King James Version)
4And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.
Luke 4:4 (New World Translation)
4 But Jesus replied to him: “It is written, ‘Man must not live by bread alone.’”
Acts 23:9 (King James Version)
9And there arose a great cry: and the scribes that were of the Pharisees’ part arose, and strove, saying, We find no evil in this man: but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, let us not fight against God.
Acts 23:9 (New World Translation)
9 So there broke out a loud screaming, and some of the scribes of the party of the Pharisees rose and began contending fiercely, saying: “We find nothing wrong in this man; but if a spirit or an angel spoke to him,—.”
just because a Bible says holy Bible doesn’t meen its holy. all of the modern translations are perverted. and they all say holy Bible on them. only KJV has tood the test of time. and it is the only inspired word of God for the english speaking people. the JW s mainly used the new world translation but they will sometimes use others. they will even twist verses in King James version(KJV) into what they want it to say.
Well, they removed all of the verses that show Jesus’ divine nature and power, but on the plus side they correctly removed the later additions that were created to try to create some kind of support for the Trinity, and the collective opinion of Wikipedia is that the Jehovah’s Witnesses did a very good job of translating the verses that they could stand to leave in.
Yes we use the Holy bible however there are many translations of bibles there’s over 60 different translations on http://www.Read the bible online, or bible gateway.com……
I especially like the New World Translation. It is because of its modern, understandable language, also because the translators held so closely to what is in the original Bible languages.
Many people use the King James version (like the one you probably have), and I personally have one in my library.
Did you know that the Bible was originally written in the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek languages? . . . Do you read those languages? . . . So we are grateful that the Bible has been translated into English.
So out of all the different bible translations its
obvious not all of them are right. Twisting the Scriptures to fit our own ideas can result in lasting harm. (2 Pet. 3:15, 16).
Two things can help us to understand the Bible correctly. First, consider the context (surrounding verses) of any statement. Next, compare texts with other statements in the Bible that deal with the same subject. In that way we are letting God’s own Word guide our thinking
The New World translation is an accurate, largely literal translation from the original languages. It is not a loose paraphrase, in which the translators leave out details that they consider unimportant and add ideas that they believe will be helpful.
Translating a bible into ones own language is very beneficial to the reader IF they adhere closely to the original bible.
Let me ask you this if your bible is the KJV. Do you think someone in Swahili could read it? what about Guatamala, Chinese, Portugese, Vietnam, etc etc, could read it without being translated? Surely not.
The original bible was originally in Aramaic, Hebrew, and Greek . So once again THANK GOD someone translated the Holy Scriptures into our own language , so that even a child could read it and pretty much understand the word.
Praise Jah you people.
The Jehovah’s Witnesses use the New World Translation as their main Bible of choice, BUT they will use any Bible translation of your choice to show you what the Bible really says.
There is a publication called “What Does the Bible Really Teach?”, you can use your Bible or any Bible to find the will of God.
The New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures is a Bible that is simply better at understanding & is more close to the original King James of 1611(1st KJ) & has accurate knowledge of ancient writings.
We use the bible. Whatever translation it may be.Majority of us use the New World Translation. But we do not have problem using any version/translation.
their translation is different and they still deny the TRinity so its a cult..
Same Bible, slightly different translation.

I believe it’s “Jehovah”, “witness”, and “baptist”, just fyi.
