Surviving Armageddon
I have restored the reference in the lead section of the Jehovah's Witnesses article to Witnesses surviving Armageddon. My note on this is buried a little in the history of edits now, but this issue was discussed on the article talk page recently at Talk:Jehovah's Witnesses. Among the articles mentioned there is the Watchtower article of November 1, 2008, "Our Readers Ask: Do Jehovah’s Witnesses Believe That They Are the Only Ones Who Will Be Saved?" The answer given there is, in essence, "It's God who decides", however other articles such as in the Watchtower, Sep 1, 1989, it's stated explicitly that "only Jehovah’s Witnesses ... as a united organization under the protection of the Supreme Organizer, have any Scriptural hope of surviving the impending end of this doomed system." Other articles I cited in that thread highlight the Watch Tower teaching that only Witnesses meet the "requirements" for survival. The lead section is obviously not the place to go into great detail, but I think a reference there to Witnesses being the only survivors of Armageddon is accurate and concise.
