Book of Revelation (The Apocalypse of John) 13:18 "This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666."
If we replace the “b” with the “6” in the word “bibbia”, it results "6i66ia" and so, the number 6 is found 3 times. Is its name, "6i66ia", revealed by an italian word, to identify at the same time the residence of the beast, the State of the Vatican City?

Of course, if the Catholic church would have been fair, we could think there is a simple coincidence but, just look how much seems to be alike the church of Laodicea with the Catholic one from the description: Revelation 3:14 "To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God's creation. 15I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! 16So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. 17You say, 'I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.' But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. 18I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.”

The letter “b” has a graphic sign mostly alike to the one of the number “6”, this is the sense of the substitution of these two.

The ideas in this so-called "question" do not agree with the Scriptures or the teachings of Jehovah's Witnesses.
Here is an article which intelligently discusses the matter of "666":

b=6 only works in modern English. The Greek symbol for beta resembles an uppercase B more closely, and as for Latin, the Romans didn't use Arabic numerals. Their number six was VI.

This is interesting. But I think that the letters to the churches tend to be the age or era in which of a particular time. I believe in general our churches are wealthy and tend to be luke warm.

the mention of the church being neither cold not hot, I would say any church that closes a blind eye to the poor and needy is neither warm nor cold.

Yes, you can play many silly number games with 666. It doesn't prove much.
