JW use the KJB when it suits them in public generally, though some may still use it privately. Generally the WTS has the JW use NWT (latest 'silver' sword) (or a KIT).
There are issues with both the NWT and KIT, as well as other 'modern' English 'translations'.
The King James is the perfectly preserved word of God, Psalms 12:6-7; Matthew 24:35; Mark 13:31; Luke 21:22; Deuteronomy 8:3; Matthew 4:4; Luke 4:4; John 12:48, &c.
There are serious issues with 'modern' English bibles which may be shown upon request.

Michael,
Are you a Jehovah's Witness? If so, why can't you obtain the names from your JW organisation of the translators and their linguistic qualifications, on the 'New World Bible Translation Committee' (June 1, 1984 edition, p. 5)?

Thank you jbf.
Nevertheless, at 17 years of age and a JW he needs to know how the JW organisation has concealed the names and linguistic qualifications of the 'New World Bible Translation Committee'.
If a person wants to use and recommend a Bible, it is important to know the translators qualifications in Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek.

Why not ask a long term JW to find this information for you so you can share with me?

Probably because if they knew he was posting here for his own reasons, and not to spread watchtower dogma, he would be disfellowshiped.
Have you ever thought why God would design his word in a lost ancient language, why didn't he personally update his book every hundred years or so, hmm?

I heard the JW's publish their own bibles.
And translate it to fit their doctrine.
Probably true, after I heard some of their preaching.

Most of the JW I meet are so sure of themselves "We have the truth" they say. They offer as much proof as any other believer & sit back and accept that you must believe them. They have all the answers, and they don't ever back down.
I have a question, if truth can only be understood by faith & personal experience, then how can you tell who's telling the truth. If you say the Bible is the truth, that would mean all Christian sects are the truth because their Bible agrees with their type's of belief. See the thing is, you're the one interpretating what the Bible says, so it's not like it's going to disagree with your point of view.

No. There are some different versions such as NIV and KJV.
But that was not the issue I mentioned.
I said most cults publish their own bible version.
Such as JW and Mormons.

FYI: the "Mormon" Bible is the KJV.
Also, you words here are very offensive and show great ignorance. Please, be mindful of what you say.
