NOTE: I do not subscribe to any religion. I once believed in Masoretic Text translations until I dug deeper and came to a different conclusion during my search through Christian denominational teachings, their leaders, and the roots of how they started, while reading the Bible itself verse by verse a few times (many translations) or more to match up their beliefs to the spiritual book they claim to follow and believe in themselves. If you ask me what I believe, I would say what the scholarly census has agreed upon, even if the decision board doesn't agree with them because they're worried about the faith of humanity for what they were taught to believe despite it contradicting evidence. Anything I've studied, watched, read is added here to help you see how I got to this point to help others who are curious too.
These verses are from the JW.org NWT bible translation, underneath I found the Hebrew/Greek from BibleHub's Strong to check it. However, you can use their purple book, their own Greek interlinear, which makes this super easy because their translation is right next to the Greek or their online one. Underneath that in blue highlight, will be my notes of my analysis.
Exo 23:22
However, if you strictly obey his voice and do all that I say, I will show hostility to your enemies and oppose those who oppose you.
you will listen carefully
שָׁמֹ֤עַ (šā·mō·a‘)
Verb - Qal - Infinitive absolute
Strong's 8085: To hear intelligently
to his voice
בְּקֹל֔וֹ (bə·qō·lōw
Preposition-b | Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine singular
Strong's 6963: A voice, sound
Seems small, but to use "strictly" to the organization that they mean to be God himself seems at least to be a narrative push.
Job 26:5
Those who are powerless in death tremble; They are even lower than the waters and their inhabitants.
The dead
הָרְפָאִ֥ים (hā·rə·p̄ā·’îm)
Article | Noun - masculine plural
Strong's 7496: Shades, ghosts
Seems to me we are not sure if people are having feelings after death or not all of a sudden. However, if you were to study the Greek Septuagint and its importance, this talks about "giants" instead. But NWT doesn't base their translation off it. So, this is their contradiction.
Pro 10:21
The lips of the righteous one nourish many, But the foolish die for lack of sense.
The lips
שִׂפְתֵ֣י (śip̄·ṯê)
Noun - fdc
Strong's 8193: The lip, language, a margin

Adding "one" to go along with their self-fulfilled "prophecy" of themselves being the "faithful discreet slave" parable.
Micah 6:8
He has told you, O man, what is good. And what is Jehovah requiring of you? Only to exercise justice, to cherish loyalty, And to walk in modesty with your God!
to love
וְאַ֣הֲבַת (wə·’a·hă·ḇaṯ)
Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Infinitive construct
Strong's 160: Love (noun)
mercy,
חֶ֔סֶד (ḥe·seḏ)
Noun - masculine singular
Strong's 2617: Kindness, piety, reproof, beauty
Seems like another narrative push to be loyal to the Organization/a.k.a "Jehovah"

Seems to me they added these words for their "the star was from Satan" myth. If that's true then the prophecy which was made by God, would mean Gods Satan. Also, could be the don't worship Jesus bias. Or could even be a bias to anyone other than Jews worshipping God since they were obviously dedicated and waited, and they've taken the place of the Jews and don't want that.

Strong's 165: From the same as aei; properly, an age; by extension, perpetuity; by implication, the world; specially a Messianic period.
Narrative push to say Jesus came invisibly instead of sticking to "coming" which sounds too physical. Where do they get "the system of things"? The word is "Aion" from Hellenistic Greek: αἰών, romanized: aión, lit. 'long period of time'. "System" has its own greek: systēma "organized whole, a whole compounded of parts," from stem of synistanai "to place together, organize, form in order," from syn- "together" (see syn-) + root of histanai "cause to stand" (from PIE root *sta- "to stand, make or be firm"). The notion is "a combination or assemblage of parts or things forming or adjusted as a regular and connected whole."

Is this a play with words to tie into vrs 20 to introduce their idea of ruling with jesus as angels over the earth? At the very least... they've misplaced "a kingdom" before "Just as". Why?

They just shouldn't have, and I don't believe in the trinity either. The source they got this translation from is by a "catholic (home they bash and hate) spiritist" whose wife got a message from an angel (in occult sources post). You do not need to alter it to understand it as not trinity. More accurately it is said it should be "It", since this is john who writes poetically like the poems of wisdom and they use "She", for the Hebraic way of writing/understanding.

Removing "Me" in bias to their not worshipping Jesus, nor praying to him and to him being just an angel and not worthy of having worship despite God saying he will be made to be so in OT. Not being true to scripture at the very least.
Joh 14:21
Whoever has my commandments and observes them is the one who loves me. In turn, whoever loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will clearly show myself to him."
keeps

Why add "coming to", my inclination is toward the way they push that their followers are too stupid to understand immediately for themselves, even though the eunuch ran off immediately after baptism and many others who were healed by Jesus. To have eternal life, is to know God, perhaps that's too easy.
Act 15:29
to keep abstaining from things sacrificed to idols, from blood, from what is strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you carefully keep yourselves from these things, you will prosper. Good health to you!

Strong's 1494: Neuter of a compound of eidolon and a presumed derivative of thuo; an image-sacrifice, i.e. Part of an idolatrous offering.

Verb - Perfect Imperative Middle or Passive - 2nd Person Plural
Strong's 4517: Prolongation from rhoomai; to strengthen, i.e. have health.
If that's not adding I don't know what is. Thats clearly a bias toward medical understanding, which wasn't a thing back at these times. You can try and make myths up, but nope, clearly this was meant about offerings...not things, not health. Just the one and only time they had to come together to stop the law keepers and mad made rules off their backs.
Act 16:31
They said: "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will get saved, you and your household."
you will be saved,
σωθήσῃ (sōthēsē)
Verb - Future Indicative Passive - 2nd Person Singular
Strong's 4982: To save, heal, preserve, rescue. From a primary sos; to save, i.e. Deliver or protect.

Lord
κυρίου (kyriou)
Noun - Genitive Masculine Singular
Strong's 2962: Lord, master, sir; the Lord. From kuros; supreme in authority, i.e. controller; by implication, Master.
To add his name when it says "Lord", and not tetragram anywhere in NT, you are adding your bias. This "Lord" can be either way, the context seems to be Jesus right before, so here it would still most likely be Jesus. To put the name "Jehovah" is bias on waiting till baptism that saves you, after you read a bunch of books (WT literature).
Act 20:28
