The 144,000 ... is it correct to say that they are "saved" in JW doctrine

    Truth is... if they don't know for sure, they ain't saved.

    1 John 5:13 is one Scripture the Watchtower runs from and expects their followers to do the same.

    1 John 5:13 I have written these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.

    Thanks for the replies everyone.

    the use of the word "saved" in this instance would be understood by most readers with a Christian background to mean that the 144,000 would go to heaven, which is what the WTS doctrine teaches.

    That makes a lot of sence. No sence in him complicating things for the majority to fool around with terms that the WTS has already fooled around with.
