Putting all our pre-indoctrinated ideas aside and having  considered
the merits of both the NIV and the NWT translations, could it  be
that a 'good' translation would be a balance of the two?

That is  to say that we take the NWT's approach of consistent translation
and  combine that with the NIV's 'make a natural language' approach.
I believe  it is quite possible to combine both of these goals and
to produce a  superior translation which both preserves the reader's right
to be able to  read and interpret Yah's words, with the help of his spirit,
and makes use  of faithful natural language constructions  only.
