Our Readers Ask Do Jehovah’s Witnesses Believe That They Are the Only Ones Who Will Be Saved?

Revelation---Its Grand Climax at Hand!. Watch Tower Society. p. 200.
"Look to Jehovah for Comfort". The Watchtower: 10. November 1, 1996.
Based on our understanding of scriptures such as Revelation 14:1-4, Jehovah's Witnesses believe that exactly 144,000 faithful Christians go to heaven to rule with Christ in the kingdom of God. They, with Jesus, will also perform priestly duties that will bring faithful mankind to perfect health and 'everlasting life'.
We believe that most of those are already in heaven, and that the "remnant" at Revelation 12:17 (KJV) refers to those remaining alive on earth who will be immediately resurrected to heaven when they die. We understand Jesus’ words at John 3:3-"except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God"-to apply to the 144,000 who are "born again" as "anointed" sons of God in heaven.
So ye there is all that Other Sheep stuff that is Confucius but bottom line and try this with any Jehovah Witness the next time they ring your door bell. They accept the fact that by now Heaven is all jammed up and mostly with the tribes of Jews. They then talk about somehow staying on Earth with all the Heathens but then conversations get all difficult cause they try to prove 1+1=3
