Why has the Bible been changed by Jehovahs Witnesses?

Interesting.
the Bible translation has been recognised by many experts as an excellent and faithful rendering of the original texts that, according to the documented
texts, merits its place alongside other modern translations of the holy scriptures.
Apparently
In 1989 Professor Benjamin Kedar of Israel said
'' in my linguistic research in connection with the Hebrew bible and translations, i often refer to the English edition of what is known as NWT
In doing so, I and my feelings repeatedly confirmed that this work reflects an honest endeavour to achieve an understanding of the
text that is accurate as possible.
Giving broad command of the original languagess, it renders the original words into a second language understandably without deviating unnecssarily
from the specific structure of the Hebrew....
... I have never discovered in the NWT any biased intent to read something into the text that it doesnot contain''
Jehovahs Witnesses haven't changed the bible, but the other religions have.

It's really just a subjective and essentially valueless term to describe 'non-Abrahamic religions', with groundless implications that 'Abrahamic religions' are somehow 'right' or 'superior'. This is probalby the sense to which you ascribe, but probably without acknowledging that it is entirely subjective.
By extension, 'pagan' connotes 'uncivilised', which also fairly accurately describes the character of the deity and its followers as described in the Old Testament.

Hey lost, what is the truth you've found? I'm interested in finding truth, if it's to be found.
Also, the NWT has been acknowledged as a good translation of the Hebrew texts. It's when you compare its translation of the nt Greek with the Greek that it falls flat on its face AMD falls into obfuscation and outright changes to support the Jw bias. I did the research myself on it at bible.cc.
