If the New World Translation true, there must be another bible before NWT which was printed in the late 1950's. Else all man was condemned before 1950 due to false bible. What bible exists like NWT that is missing the word "worship" everywhere in scripts having to due to worship of Christ.
Matthew 2:2,2:8,2:11,4:9,4:10,8:2 speaking of just a few

It's interesting that prior to "1950" and after 1950 Jehovah's Witnesses used and continue to use many different Bibles.
The Watchtower Society have printing approvals for several translations / versions of the bible including the KJV, and the ASB.
The truth can be found in all bibles.
Next, if you could look into a dictionary printed in 1611 the word 'worship' it meant "to bow down or to honor"
We know this because you find phrases from that era as Your Worship, which is being directed to the rulers of the England.
To prevent any possible confusion, let us now examine the meaning of the English terms worship, obeisance, homage, according to the Shorter Oxford Dictionary, third edition.
Worship (verb):
1. To honour or revere as a supernatural being or power or as a holy thing; to adore with appropriate acts, rites, or ceremonies. ...
2. To honour; to regard or treat with honour or respect; to salute, bow down to.
Obeisance: a respectful salutation; a bow or curtsy
Homage: acknowledgement of superiority; dutiful respect or honour shown
Although the verb 'to worship' in the sense of 'honour, regard, respect' has been widely used in the past, this usage is basically obsolete in modern English.[7] Hence, the only way the term 'worship' is currently used in English is that cited under definition number 1 above, namely "to honour or revere as a supernatural being or power ... to adore with appropriate acts."[8]
In 1611 the KJV was correct to use worship because the people in that time period understood what worship meant them.
Today we have a very narrow meaning for the word "worship", and therefore Obeisance is better.

Matthew 2:2,2:8,2:11,4:9,4:10,8:2 used the word "worship" in some and actually in some Bibles are translated as homage, bow (DBY, WEY,YLT). The greek word for worship, bow, means "(meaning to kiss, like a dog licking his master’s hand); to fawn or crouch to, that is, (literally or figuratively) prostrate oneself in homage (do reverence to, adore): - worship." So the translators can use those English words to translate proskuneoÌ
obeisance which is used in NWT means "A gesture or movement of the body, such as a curtsy, that expresses deference or homage.
An attitude of deference or homage. "
bending the head or body or knee as a sign of reverence or submission or shame
a movement of the body made in token of respect or submission : BOW
2 : acknowledgment of another's superiority or importance : HOMAGE
