    When I was in the WMSCOG, I was told that the Catholic Church had added books to the Bible.  While it is true that the Catholic Bible has 7 books that the Protestant Bible does not include, the Protestants were the ones that rejected the 7 books in the 1500's.  So they were wrong again.  It seems that the WMSCOG has made several historical errors.

    Actually the Catholic Church added them because as OT their Canonocity would be dependent upon Judaism who rejected those book.

    Tobit, Judith, Baruch, Enoch, I Macabees,II Macabees, and Wisdom of Solomon

    Or it may be more accurate to say it is easy to argue either way
