Throughout many passages in the NWT (Jehovah's Witness specific _New World Translation_), all instances of the pronoun "you" are written in all capitals. Here is an example from Acts 2:38 :
> Peter [said] to them: “Repent, and let each one of YOU be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for forgiveness of YOUR sins, and YOU will receive the free gift of the holy spirit.
What is the reasoning behind this capitalization? I am familiar with the practice of capitalizing He/Him and similar pronouns when referring to God or Christ, but this appears to be quite different and I have no idea what the rational is.
