Translation issues aside, one of the worst things about Protestant bibles is that very few of them are directed by actual church authorities. They're either directed by governments (like the King James version) or owned by publishers. Some by publishers who don't even care about the bible necessarily (for example, HarperCollins owns the rights to the NKJV, the US printing rights for NIV, among some others. But HarperCollins also prints Anton Lavey's Satanic bible or does what any publisher does: prints all kinds of genres under different imprints.
It says a lot about the Protestant mindset though. A mindset that's been with them from the very start: they love ceding power to anyone except the Church. For whatever reason, they've crearted a mythology in their minds where the Church is the antichrist, but everything else is copasetic. Be it the individual, the Academy, the King, the Corporation, the Jew. Anyone but the Church.
It's the opposite story with the Catholic Church. Anything outside the Church is treated with a bit of caution. Even an Encyclopedia isn't encouraged unless it's got an Imprimatur. Bibles are translated from Bishop's Conferences (and the international Catholic Biblical Federation). If you have any attraction to cohesive systems, you'll be a happier here. If you want madness and are never quite sure if the people printing your bible also make Gay Pride Parade photobooks, you can become Protestant. Also, remember to support Israel.
