a video about jw persecution in a former soviet union republic of georgia from jw-media site.

while by no means do i support the beatings or religious intolerance, i also do dislike how the wt makes a mob violence case a vehicle for self-promotion -- a tribute to a pr department.. .

New World Translation Greek Scriptures in Russian
by Drue in
1. jw

this summer the wt is releasing their new world translation greek scriptures in russian.

i have known this for a while but obtained a copy only today.

since there is no full nwt in russian yet, the old testament is taken from traditional russian synodal version in one volume with new testament in the nwt rendering.. the first impression is that this is quite a fresh translation as compared with the most widely used russian version that uses archaic words and expressions and that is perhaps stylistically similar to english king james version.. jehovah is used 237 instances, as in the english variant of nwt.
