You're mistaken.
I've studied their dogma, as I have with a few different religions, and it goes like this:
They believe that everyone that's going to heaven has to die before judgment day to go into effect. The number of peeps going to heaven - throughout all of time - is exactly 144,000. When the last one of that bunch dies - and the last of them arrives and gets their wings - that's the eternals' queue to kick off the end of the world.
In their version of "Armageddon," god kills everyone but 2 groups of peeps: 1) Jehovah's Witnesses, and 2) Those that have never had their door knocked on (innocents - like babies, eskimos, etc). Those that survive the ordeal are rewarded with immortality, and spend the next 10,000 years working with Jesus to rebuild the Earth into a paradise - after which, all those Jehovah's Witnesses and innocents that died before and during Armageddon are resurrected - literally rise from their graves - to achieve their own immortality and live with the rest of Jehovah's Witnesses in that newly-finished Paradise for ever and ever and ever... without disease, war, or any of that natural stuff that scientists made up... and never have to worry about dieing, and can wrestle with lions and shit for fun.
I guess they're not considering the overpopulation issues this whole thing would cause... among other travesties the whole situation would seem to perpetuate.
