Check out this article: 9 Reasons I Don’t Read the KJV – TRAVISAGNEW.ORG
Here is an excerpt:
Second, although it is often asserted that heretics produced some of the New Testament MSS we now have in our possession, there is only one group of MSS known to be produced by heretics: certain Byzantine MSS of the book of Revelation. This is significant because the Byzantine text stands behind the KJV!

I learned Greek from and used for years the Textus Receptus and I was very blessed by it.
Then I switched to Byzantine text with alternate reading of Critical Nestlé Aland so I see both main texts at once.
I think this wars "this is pure and this is corrupted by heretics" is useless. All texts are useful for any Christian. We can discuss this or that word but nothing basic actually changes.

The situation of the OT is different. Differences between the LXX and MSS texts are huge and on very important places.

That proves that we can use almost any version, text family or translation as long as it is not heavily biased (like NWT and similar).
The only problem is when some group stick to only one version and fanatically propagates it by calling others corrupted, gnostic, satanic and I do not know what else.
I am talking about the New Testament.

The issue is people not realign 3000 word changes. Verse removal entirely, changes of meanings, using tiny footnotes instead, just to get a copyright and make money£££.
The Bible implies in many verses, don't mess with the word of God. But you say, it's ok.
Even though most Christians have never read a KJV verse.
Just faulty version's (over 150+).
Rediculous. Especially when people generally don't know the minority usage, text is younger than the Peshitta Bible and more.

it's *almost* the same issue as i have with things like the NLT and MSG -- though these are readily admitted to be paraphrases, without an attempt at being literal, they still are by paraphrasing instead of translating, putting a presumed interpretation and theological slant to the text. people should not consider those things on the same level as honest efforts of translation.
but the NWT is radically different, claiming to be not only a literal translation, but claiming to be "the best" -- all the while deleting and adding things without any basis in the underlying Greek or Hebrew at all, but very, very obviously altering scripture with a very, very obvious bias towards removing anything in the scripture that calls out the JW heresy.
the Bible readily refutes JW's, whether you're reading KJV, Wycliffe, or any modern translation. so they re-wrote the Bible to suit themselves. that is the NWT.
no wonder their so-called "translating" committee was meant to be anonymous - who wants to admit what they've done? but God knows, and what's known about the men that did this even now is that none of them had any credentials in either Greek, Aramaic or Hebrew. not as though they needed any for the evil they were perpetrating anyhow.
((rawr rawr))
paraphrases have a similar issue but 'for the most part' don't change the message of the text, and ((again 'for the most part')) don't claim to be the verbatim Word. differences are in details, even though some of those details can lead to significant differences in theology if one doesn't compare a literal translation. with the NWT, there are radical changes specifically introducing heresy, and it pawns itself off as being the literal, verbatim Word.
i suspect some posts were removed by mods, but is it any wonder the OP of this thread was quickly banned? it's like i said, JW's tend to get run out of here post-haste. thank you, mod team
