(Not) Jehovah's Witnesses
When I was young and argumentative, a very dignified group of very large, well dressed, West Indian ladies came a-knocking on my door.

Now you see, JW's believe in the whole Bible, warts and all. One neat and less well known factoid to use on fundamentalists is that, after Judgement Day, the 'Company of The Lord' shall number 144,000. This being made up from 12000 from each of the 12 tribes of Israel.

I pointed out to these nice polite ladies, that I found it hard to believe they were all Jewish, and therefore all would be excluded from paradise by virtue of their racial heritage.

It was like kicking puppies.

From Revelation 14:
=====================
And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.

2And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:

3And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
