Let's analyze my statement:
"As an aside, I have some Watchtower lying around."
In my frequent forays to NY, I have been given or took out the free WTs from boxes. THey are very well done and knowledgable booklets. I like the article on how come there is evil in the world. One even talked about the making of soap!
"Although WT doesn't talk about the 465000 (?) people going to heaven thing, I know about JW's creed."
JWs believe that only a select number of God's children, a very specific number will go to heaven. They understand and accept that even tay may not be one of the chosen. WT did not discuss much about the creed of JWs.
"It takes a pretty strong character to be a member of a faith that decrees you may be as faithful and decent as possible, even be a JW, yet still be d@mned and they still remain as cheerful as they are."
On a visit to my grandparents, a very cheerful looking lady came around. LAter I found out that she was a JW. To be able to maintain the right frame of mind despite the possibility that you will go to hell despite beinga good Christian is very admirable and requires great spiritual and emotional strength and maturity. Few would maintain a positive outlook or accepta faith with a credo as strict and demanding a credo as JW. They are a credit to themselves and Christianity to be able to exude such qualities.
I hope that clears up any misunderstanding.
So says you. I know a few people of this faith. Therefore, I may be derided for calling for the extermination of the islamic vermin that kill other humans; yet you have a righteous position to spread inaccurate information regarding an American based faith?
