In my opinion, theological remarks have no place in a Bible at all. Anyone can still get a few separate, good commentaries. But when reading the Bible, I should listen on what the Holy Spirit Himself wants to tell me.
But I still wouldn't throw it away. After all, it's a unique Bible translation, plus a theological interpretation. And interpretation often follows a topic that other denominations don't address sufficiently. For example the Kingdom perspective in the Bible of Jehovah's Witnesses. Even if they misunderstand it I'll keep their Bible too. But of course I would never pass it on to anyone else. The pure Word of God should always be our standard, especially for people who are new to Christ.
