Flame of the WestWell, the chosen go to Heaven to live at God's right hand as his saints, the rest of the JW's get to live on in a "perfected Earth" - or so I understand it from the gibberish that gets spouted at me from time to time.

Not exactly. Jehovah's Witnesses are a result of American religious freedom. Over the last century, a lot of ultra-conservative evangelical Christian groups have popped up all over the country in the wake of various religious revivals. The Jehovah's Witnesses are one of the more well-known sects, probably because of their damn annoying proselytization practices.
I heard that they believe that only 144,000 people would be saved. Of course, there are more JW's than that...
