[B-Greek] NWT: Is it an accurate translation of the Greek?

In The New World Translation, John 1:1 is rendered as follows:
   
   
  Joh 1:1  In  [the]  beginning the Word was,  and the Word was with God,  and the Word was a god.
   
  The reason for the rendering of “a god” is explained
  in part by the following:
   
   
  The definite article (the) appears before the first occurrence of the·os´ (God) but not before the second.
   
  I would like to hear the opinions of the forum as to the accuracy of this rendering.
   
  Thanks
