They use what they call the new world translation, or nwt... It is a highly biased "translation," actually a significant PERversion of the Bible.

Short and to the point:
We use the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures in order the Bible. This translation is faithful to the oldest manuscripts but it uses a language that most people can understand, so it replaces older words for more modern terms that mean the same thing.
You can get one for free at Jehovah's Witnesses Kingdom Hall for free.

If you check our literature you will relaize that we quotedfrom more than 70 different bible translation, we have one in modern english but if you compare you will relaize that is the same but more easy to read.
"He subsequently wrote Truth in Translation: Accuracy and Bias in English Translations of the New Testament (ISBN 0-7618-2556-8), which generated controversy when he found the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (published by Jehovah's Witnesses) and the New American Bible (published by the American Catholic Church) to be more accurate than other respected translations linked to Protestant constituencies. He had criticisms for every translation he reviewed, finding a consistent pattern of anachronistically imposing modern Christian views onto the biblical text. He has also been active on the www in discussions (two of which can be read online still) notably with evangelicals/trinitarians where he has argued against certain translations (not interpretations)"

Yes, it called the bible.
It is 66 smaller books, written by some 40 men over the course of 1000's of years.
If you can find the time I would recommend you read it for yourself.
Ez 18:4 soul dies.
Rev 3:12 The glorified Jesus in heaven worships his God.
Rev 1:6 the apostle John glorifies the God and Father of Jesus.
1 Pet 1:3, Peter glorifies the God and Father of Jesus
Eph 1:3,17 Paul glorifies the God and Father of Jesus.
