That's a very good question.

This so-called "question" seems intended primarily to demean and insult the great Christian religion of Jehovah's Witnesses. The "questioner" offers no examples or evidence of his hateful slander. Interestingly, such "hatred" should be expected by true Christians in this time of the end, and it actually helps identify Jehovah's Witnesses as Christ's true disciples:
(John 15:19) If you were part of the world, the world would be fond of what is its own. Now because you are no part of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, on this account the world hates you.
(Luke 6:22) Happy are you whenever men hate you, and whenever they exclude you and reproach you and cast out your name as wicked for the sake of the Son of man.
(1 Peter 4:4) Because you do not continue running with them in this course to the same low sink of debauchery, they are puzzled and go on speaking abusively of you.
(2 Timothy 4:3-5) For there will be a period of time when they will not put up with the healthful teaching, but, in accord with their own desires, they will accumulate teachers for themselves to have their ears tickled; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, whereas they will be turned aside to false stories. You, though, keep your senses in all things, suffer evil, do the work of an evangelizer, fully accomplish your ministry.
It seems signficant that the relatively small religion of Jehovah's Witnesses are the ones best known for their worldwide preaching work. Yet Jesus commanded that ALL who would call themselves "Christian" perform this public work:
(Matthew 28:19,20) Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you. And, look! I am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.

If you look at every other religion in the world, they all take somethings out of context, twist words and write only what works for their point of view.
Religion was created by men and therefore prone to the fallacies, greed and sins of men. Anything that they had seen to be what they wanted got put into whatever religion they had been forming or reforming.
That is why so many religions seeming to focus on the same thing are so different, because different men started different religions based on the same idea, but different interpretations of that idea.

I am a Witness of Jehovah, and having been associated with the Jehovah's Witnesses for over 20 years, until they decided I did not agree with all their interpretation, especially that of prophets in the last days, who prophesy, ...I can say that they do not remove part of the Bible.
The problem is with interpretation of the Bible.
As a matter of fact, Jesus is now judging all the churches for misinterpretations, false teachings, secret sins and the rest can be found at Revelation 2 and 3.

Your queston makes no sense...but anyways....to me the Jehovahs witnesses follow better than most religions. take the catholics...they pray to mary...shes not even a significant part of the bible...well she is, but shes not holy...and you're not suppose to worship anything other than God. also, they have the hail marys, and they makes what they do okay, if they do so many of them? no it doesnt! also, they go in and confess to some stranger behind a wall? thats nothing...just telling some stranger your life. they also pray to idols...idoltry is wrong...states it in the bible. also, just like most christians, they wear a cross...thats like an idol...wrong. i have some differeing views on the cross...so i wont go there this time. also, whats up with the trinity doctorine? thats nowhere in the Bible. also, ppl believe that God and Jesus are the same? WHAT? the bible states that Jesus is the SON of God...how can they be the same? theres a lot that other religions do that is not okay...but ppl like to pick on the Witnesses...why? its stupid. i dont agree with a lot of things that are in certain religions, but i dont exclude one and pick on just them...everyone is entitled to have their own way of believeing, and just because it doesnt match mine, doesnt make them wrong...thats why we are all different, and its okay, it doesnt hurt or defile us in any way for others to believe differently...theeres nothing wrong with it. you dont have to believe the way that they do and vice versa.
thats that!

What part would you be referring to? Revelations 22:18, 19 plainly states that anyone who adds or takes away will have added plagues or God will take his portion away from the trees of life.
By the way, Daniel 7:25 is referring to the 4th world power that had taken place in the past...Rome, by means of the vision of the 4th beast that Daniel prophesied about.

Oh and the book you claim to be the word of God has NOT been changed??? what about the addition in 1John 5:7 so as to make the doctorine of the trinity more acceptable.

Everybody throws the curse at us that is at the end of Revelation, that anyone adding or taking away from the book,
will be cursed. And then they go ahead and do it.
There are many cowards who want to think that Revelation is
about over. But Jesus said that when we see what we are seeing
now. It is only the beginning of sorrows.

Yeah I wonder what King James left out when he interpreted the Bible........Oh yeah, God's Holy name. He replaced it with Lord or God. Shame Shame on you KJ. We will never have the actual words that were written so quit bashing one group of religion, because all are guilty of some form of it.

Jehovah's Witnesses do add words into the New World Translation to suit their theology (e.g., multiple times when the word "other" is added, to avoid the conclusion that Jesus is not a created being).
Some Jehovah's Witnesses are sincere, but their theology does not match what the Bible Teaches.
E.g., see articles at http://godsci.org/gs/sect/jw/jw00.html
