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...

No, they believe that only 144000 will go to heaven. The rest will live forever on earth. Therein lies the danger of literal translations of Revelations.

Mayb I got it wrong or mixed them up with another group. When they come knocking at the door, I don't answer it, because it takes like an hour or so to get rid of them, and I throw the pamphlets they leave behind in the recycling bin when they're gone without even bothering to read them, so I might have been mistaken.
