    According to the WTBCS the camels that carried Rebekkah to Isaac represent the Witchtower litterature.

    One problem: The camel had not yet been domesticated at the time the story is supposed to have happened.

    As well as being an amalgam of more than one story, it tells of Abraham putting together a caravan of camels.

    The society obviously knows this about camels, as its most recent pictures of Abraham show asses being used as freight beasts. They are happy to perpetuate a deceit.

    One more thing- they obviously have not been shown by God what the camel sh1t represents.

    *** w89 7/1 p. 27 par. 17 A Marriage That Benefits Millions Now Living ***

    The bride class highly values what is pictured by the ten camels. The number ten is used in the Bible to denote perfection or completeness as related to things on earth. The ten camels may be compared to the complete and perfect Word of God, by means of which the bride class receives spiritual sustenance and spiritual gifts. (John 17:17; Ephesians 1:13, 14; 1 John 2:5) Commenting on Rebekah’s watering of the camels, The Watchtower of November 1, 1948, made this application to the bride class: "They lovingly consider the Word of God which bears much of his spirit to them. They take an interest in his written Word, serving it and freshening it up by attending upon it and displaying a sincere concern for its message and purpose, seeking to believe it." As an example of this, the remnant of the bride class has lovingly made available to millions the fresh, up-to-date New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures. Whether this fine translation is available in your language or not, do you show appreciation by regularly examining the Bible along with study aids provided by the bride class?

    Eliezer’s name means "My God Is Helper." In name and deed, he fittingly pictures the holy spirit of the Greater Abraham, Jehovah God, which He sent to this distant land, our earth, to select a suitable bride for the Greater Isaac, Jesus Christ. (John 14:26; 15:26) The bride class is "the congregation," made up of disciples of Jesus who have been begotten by holy spirit as spiritual sons of God. (Ephesians 5:25-27; Romans 8:15-17) Just as Rebekah received expensive gifts, so the initial members of the Christian congregation on the day of Pentecost 33 C.E. received miraculous gifts in proof of their divine calling. (Acts 2:1-4) Like Rebekah, they have willingly forsaken all worldly and fleshly relationships in order eventually to be united with their heavenly Bridegroom. From the time individual members of the bride class are called until their death, they must guard their spiritual virginity while journeying through Satan’s dangerous, seductive world. (John 15:18, 19; 2 Corinthians 11:3; James 4:4) Filled with holy spirit, the bride class faithfully invites others to partake of Jehovah’s provisions for salvation. (Revelation 22:17) Do you follow her example by also responding to the spirit’s direction?

    So when the Greater Isaac met the Greater Rebecca, they knew there's was a marriage made in heaven and had all been play acted out by real people millenia ago !!

    The arrogance of this organization never ceases to amaze - they really think that the Bible, even Genesis is written all about THEM
