OP you started the post why did you ask the question seems a bit silly.
My bibles are pretty old, in that they were first printed 400 years ago but also work in church libraries and we would chuck anything that was too old and unreadable, books from 1960 thats say 'todays world' or 'modern christianity' and you find out they talking about 1960! Also any books with roman numerals in them I dont know how people figured out chapter and verse from them quickly in those days. The ones that say they are 'new' actually get out out of date VERY quickly. They would put everything that looked 'modern' on the covers instead of just having a plain black cover that says HOLY BIBLE in an attempt to seem new but it dates the book, plus paper quality deteriorates over time. All thosemass marketed books sold from the 1960s onwards are literally falling apart now. The glue doesnt hold, and the paper they print on is that cheap newsprint. Which gets mouldy.
Whereas scripture as it stands is timeless.
Do you work in libraries? We have a weeding schedule that librarians all over the world go by to refresh collections the acronoym is MUSTY. The thing with Bibles is we wouldnt chuck out a well loved translation just to replace it with the latest translation. We just buy a brand new edition of the same title to replace it.
Also we would guage which ones are being read and borrowed.

No doubt a motivator. But, I believe there is a more sinister basis.
Remember...from history depending on your age, the early 60's was a time of great world change. socially, civilly and morally. It gained in popularity as time marched on, resulting in many new......new age interpretations of scriptures.
Coalesced, was several new versions of The Bible with many subtle changes contrary to three separate warnings in G-d's word, Changes have been intentional and has caused much division in the Christian community to this day. This, full filling scripture....."tickle my ears and tell me what I want to hear". Also,......"in the end times there will be great delusions". We know we are i the end times.

Please, if only that you don't perpetuate errors of ignorance, read James White's The King James Only Controversy (2nd ed.).
You have not identified any particular issues, so all you are doing at present is spreading fear. Rather spread truth based on verifiable facts. Support your allegations with specific evidence, or don't make them.

I don't agree we are in end times at all! Jesus clearly says that we will not know the day or hour!
"But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only." Matt 24:36
This dispensational nonsense is utter garbage!
Jesus may come now, or tomorrow, or in 2000 years. Stop predicting the end!
The only people who are getting those "tickling ears" are people like you, who listen to false prophets and liars. Like Hagee! Wasn't the end supposed to come in Sept 2016? After 4 blood moons? Well, it didn't, but he whipped up all the dispies into a frenzy. And sold a lot of books, and made a lot of money.
And so many others, who do this! Whether on their own YouTube channel, or from the pulpit on Sunday!
We won't get into what a stretch it is that somehow, updating the Bible after 400 years means the end is nigh!
I would love to know what psychological condition causes people to go off the deep end with end times? Simple brainwashing? Lack of education? Or some kind of conditioning that makes weak minds?? I'll let you know, if I ever find out what causes this abiblical madness!
This is rich. You started the thread with an oblique question. Ten pages later, you still have not clarified your question. You jump in every few days and add little more than innuendo.
How about you take your own advice. Either ante up with some genuine evidence, or admit that all you have is whispers and mutterings. You haven't provided anything concrete with which to disagree yet. Your argument is a fallacious attempt to reverse the burden of proof; I don't play that game.
