Jehovah's Witnesses read in the foreword of NWT (1984 edition) these comforting words:
"It is a very responsible thing to translate the Holy Scriptures from their original languages of Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek into modern speech....The translators of this work, who fear and love the Divine Author of the Holy Scriptures, feel toward Him a special responsibility to transmit his thoughts and declarations as accurately as possible."

"So where do the NWT 'translators' get permission to ADD words to Scripture?"
Where do you see ADD?
