Jim, just for clarification, are you in fact asserting the following?

1) The King James Version was based entirely on previous English 
versions without reference to the original language texts.

2) The New World Translation was based entirely on previous English 
versions without reference to the original language texts.

Unfortunately I don't have the book you recommend. Does it in fact make 
these assertions?
