Introducing a new blog dedicated to the New World Translation Bible, a Bible version that is often unfairly criticized. Simply visit https://newworldtranslation.blogspot.com/ and right now it features the following articles:
A Conversation on the Trinity Doctrine
The only way is to resort to a Trinity is to claim that it is “mystery” beyond human understanding. And, evidently beyond God’s ability to explain in his word.
'This MEANS my body.' The New World Translation and the Greek word ESTIN
Matthew 26:26 in the New Jerusalem Bible: "Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had said the blessing he broke it and gave it to the disciples. 'Take it and eat,' he said, 'this _is_ my body.'"
Now compare Matthew 26:26 in the New World Translation: "As they continued eating, Jesus took a loaf and, after saying a blessing, he broke it and, giving it to the disciples, he said: 'TAKE, eat. This _means_ my body.'"
A Conversation on "Many Gods and Many Lords"
"Paul never equates Jesus with God" (W.R. Matthews, The Problem of Christ in the 20th Century, Maurice Lectures, 1949, p. 22).
Henry Grew on the Early Church Fathers and the Trinity
As many persons appear to be confirmed in the belief of the doctrine of the Trinity, and are deterred from a diligent examination of the subject, by the supposition that almost all pious christians in every age have believed it, it is desirable that such a mistake should be corrected.
The Word was A God by Rev. W.E. Manley D.D. 1891
"...by the rules of translating the Greek language into English, the expression should be, The Word was a god."
The Shape of the Cross (from an 1879 book)
An Overview of the Revised New Jerusalem Bible 2018
For those who don't know already, the RNJB is a revision of the New Jerusalem Bible which was introduced in 1985, which itself was a revision of the The Jerusalem Bible from 1966...which itself was the English version of the French La Bible de Jerusalem.

John 1:1 as a Forgery In Translation
We call the popular translation a coarse forgery, because it is forever compelling trinitarians to explain how the Word could possibly be with God, while literally being the God himself.
Andrews Norton on Sharp's Rule (Titus 2:13; 2 Peter 1:1)
With regard to this doctrine, the main question is, whether it were taught by Christ and his Apostles, and received by their immediate disciples. Antitrinitarians maintain that it was not; and consequently maintain that no thought of it was ever entertained by the Apostles and first believers.
The Rev. Lyman Abbott on John 1:1
Adding the Indefinite Article at John 10:33
All Bibles add words, simply put. Have you ever noticed all those words in italics in the King James Version and the New American Standard Bible? Those are words that are not in the original text, yet there are thousands of them.
Justin Martyr on Jesus as a Second God, by Alvan Lamson
That the inferiority of the Son was generally, if not uniformly, asserted by the ante-Nicene Fathers, has been admitted by several learned advocates of the doctrine of the Trinity.

The Spirit Not a Person
If the 'spirit of truth' in John 14:17 is a person, then 'the spirit of error' in 1 John 4:6 must also be a person, since the two are directly contrasted.
The New World Translation Bible and the Words "In Union With"
A Brief History of the Church After the Nicene Council
The LOGOS as the Angel of Jehovah, by Ernst Wilhelm Hengstenberg
That the angel of the Lord is the Logos of John, who is connected with the supreme God by unity of nature, but personally distinct from him, was...the universal doctrine of the early Church.
Behold a Green Horse (1844 Article)
'And lo, a pale horse.'—The word translated pale, CLWROS, is elsewhere rendered green; as Matt. vi. 39, Rev. viii. 7, green grass: and Rev. ix. 4, "every green thing."
In the beginning was the Son, and the Son was with the Father, and the Son was the Father.

Burned for Denying the Deity of Christ
Sakae Kubo and Walter Specht on "only-begotten" and the New World Translation
I also am not aware of any manuscript that has both hUIOS (son) and QEOS (god) in this one verse, so it would be silly to translate "the only son of God."
Interesting Tidbits About the King James Bible
John 1:1 in the Sahidic Coptic
Unlike Greek, the Coptic has an indefinite article ("a") and uses it at John 1:1c.
