Do Catholics and Jehovah witness share the same Bible?
Yes and no. Jehovah's Witnesses are Christians, so like Catholics, they read the New Testament. But Jehovah's Witnesses are Protestants, so they use a different translation from the one that Catholics have traditionally used. The Catholic translation is called the Douay Bible, which includes the Old and New Testament as well as a few additional books which protestants call the Apocrypha. Jehovah's Witnesses do not to use the Douay version, nor do they accept the Apocrypha as sacred. Witnesses often use the Revised Standard version, or another Protestant translation, containing the Old and New Testaments. it should be noted that Jehovah's Witnesses and Catholics share many beliefs, but they also have a number of major differences in their theologies, even if they agree upon the centrality of the New Testament.Roman Catholic AnswerJehovah Witness use the truncated protestant Bible and deny the Trinity.
What books are taken out of the Bible?
The books that form what is now known as the Bible were not originally written in order to be included in a 'Bible'. They were simply written to meet the religious or political purposes of their times. When, later, the concept of a collection of books, a 'Bible', came to the fore, some books were included and some were not.Until the first Bibles were compiled, there were no books in the Bible, to be taken out. It was merely a case of which of the many hundreds of potentially suitable books would be included, and which would not.Having said that, the Catholic Church included, and still includes, 15 'Deuterocanonical' books in its Old Testament. These were not included in the Hebrew Bible and, on the precedent of the Hebrew Bible, are not included in the Protestant Bible. Even the Catholic Church regards the Deuterocanonical books as not inspired in the same way as the canonical books are.
