The funny part was that then I bought a NKJV because the advertisement says it's the same as the KJV without the old english words. Then I read a booklet about NKJV some time after and finally switched to the real deal, KJB, the preserved Word of God.

Tim, I had 130 versions of the bible in English, I spent 7 years collecting them. I only believed one version. 129 turned out to be just variations and translations of Codex Vaticanus, they were in my possession as a collection to show people the version "issue". A friend of mine bought the New Scofield(1967 edition) and was lamenting the fact when I showed him it was neither a Scofield nor a KJV. I told him to keep it, use it for comparison as a warning to others. I hope you still have your NKJV and NIV, you can show others the corruptions. As a bible, if I was on the moon and only had two choices among the "MVs", I'd take a Watchtower NWT translation over the NIV, the NIV is the most corrupt and sorry excuse for a "bible" I ever saw.
Grace and peace to you
