The new world translation (NWT) is indeed different. It came about because the Jehovah's Witnesses' (J.W.'s) translated the Holy scriptures - The Bible - into modern day English by a committee of "annointed" witnesses of Jehovah. The J.W. parent organisation called the Watchtower society translated from the Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek. The J.W.'s and the Watchtower society realized their beliefs contradicted scripture so rather than conforming their beliefs to scripture, they altered scripture to agree with their beliefs. The "New World Bible Translation Committee" went through the Bible and changed any scripture that did not agree with Jehovah's Witness theology. As biblical christians continue to point out scriptures that clearly argue for the deity of Christ (for example) the watchtower society would publish new editions of the NWT with those scriptures changed. A 2nd example is J.W.'s do not believe Jesus died on a cross - changing cross for "torture stake". The Watchtower has only their own theological bias.
