  American Standard Version - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kenneth Taylor used the ASV as the basis for his paraphrase of the Bible, which was published in 1971.
The reasons for their choosing of the ASV were twofold: One reason for adoption of the ASV was due to its usage of "Jehovah" as the Divine Name, which was congruent with their doctrine, although their usage of it seems to have predated the release of the ASV.
The Witnesses' usage of the ASV was supplanted by their current use of the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures, a translation made by members of their group, and the rights to which are controlled by the Watchtower Society, which is their publishing arm.

 New American Standard Version And The Deity Of Christ by Cecil J. Carter
At this point the Jehovah Witness version is slightly less subtle than the NASV., for it inserts the reading, "I have been" into the text, while the NASV with its little halo shining, just has it in the margin.
We are not therefore surprised to find the New American Standard Version and that of the Jehovah Witnesses, uniting in the rejection of this great Scripture, or rather in the alteration of it so that the Deity of Christ is no longer clearly stated.

The ASV is catering to the Catholics who believe that they must confess their sins to a priest.
The ASV reads a shocking, "who, existing in the form of God, counted not the being on an equality with God a thing to be grasped," So the ASV says that Jesus couldn't grasp being equal with God.
The ASV reads, "All things were made through him..." The KJB reads, "All things were made by him..." It may not seem like a big deal unless you understand that the Jehovah Witnesses (and other false religions) don't believe that Jesus created the world in His own power.

 A Study of Translations: The New American Standard Version   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
This was a purported effort to revise the American Standard Version of 1901, because of the conviction of the members of the revising committee that the American Standard Version was valuable and deserving of perpetuation.
While the purpose of the committee might be recognized by many as noble and commendable, the end product is inferior to the version of 1901 because the principles and procedures used are, to some extent, faulty.
The "Principles of Revision" noted at the beginning of the NASV state that "a change was made in the direction of a more current English idiom" (manner of speaking is what they mean, B. Graham) when the committee felt that the literal translation of the American Standard Version was not acceptable to the modern reader.

The ASV has long been regarded by many scholars as the most literal English translation since the King James Version—maybe the most literal translation ever.
