Well, not the sole reason, but sufficient reason anyway.

Those of you who intend to refer to the passages cited should be aware that
the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society is the publishing arm of the
Johovah's Witnesses.  The NWT is likely to differ significantly from any
of the familiar translations due to the influence of JW doctrine. (As an
example, John I:1 reads "... and the Word was a god")  Therefore it should
be read with a certain caution.  (The RC church and most protestant
denominations do not accept it as a scriptural authority.)
