    Probably a dumb question, but then again it probably has a dumb answer.

    In Genesis 3:15:

    "And I shall put enmity between you and the woman and between your seed and her seed. He will bruise you in the head and you will bruise him in the heel.”

    and in other verses, rendered as Bride, etc. Where does the WT get their definition that the Bride of Christ is the 144,000 that go to heaven/Organization? Is it implicitly rendered in another verse I can not remember now?

    This issue, along with the identity of the great crowd as per JW doctrine is discussed chiefly in the book of Revelation.

    There'a good discussion of these issues here . . .
