   That is perhaps the number one false claim of the jw vatican. They clain   
   That the never seen before doctrines are from the bible.  How do they know   
   , because they say it is so just as above.   
      
   Yet with the bible remaining the same; jw vatican doctrines have a long   
   history of changing and flip flopping, sometimes multiple times on the same   
   one.   
      
   Example; in 1954 the jw followers were worshiping Christ on one week.  The   
   next week they stopped because the jw vatican now demanded He was not   
   worthy of worship.   
      
   With Paul's teaching to "prove all things" the jw vatican shows its   
   doctrines don't survive being proven.  They are just empty assertions   
   because they "say it is so"..
