why do they think that out of all the religion's in the world that they will be the only ones left to clean up all the dead people? (when the end of the earth comes?) It just seems that there has to be other religion's out there that will be saved if somthing like that happens

they obviously have a few issues.
they are apparently also a little power hungry, wanting to rule everyone else who makes it into heaven. I have no worries. I and Satan signed a contract for my permanent residence in hell so I can avoid getting ruled by all the witnesses. Parking, air-conditioning, internet, 400 channel cable tv, the lot.
as for the end of the world "the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. Just after tea..."

I am a witness. I am sure they told you that God will do the judging. Only God says who lives and who dies. Most religions pray they all go to heaven. Jehovah's Witnesses believe the bible when it says the meek will inherit the earth forever. We also believe 144,000 spiritual israelites will go to heaven and rule with Christ Jesus....most religions don't believe this either. Most religions salute the flag of their country....not witnesses.
Most people see no harm in taking someone elses blood...witnesses don't do that either.
Why don't witnesses believe what you do? Don't they have the same bible?
Did you ever think that God reveals the truth to HIS people? That the light keeps getting brighter?
If you want to be one of the ones that clean the earth after the destruction of Armeggedon..then study the bible and get an acurate knowledge of the truth.

It is not one's religious membership that is of interest to the Almighty at and after Armageddon. Instead, it is whether one is doing God's will; Jehovah's Witnesses fully recognize that only Jehovah God is the ultimate judge of that.
(Matthew 7:21) Not everyone saying to [Jesus], ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but the one doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens will
The Scriptures quite plainly explain that humans can disqualify themselves from receiving everlasting life; it is only the faithful COMPLETION of a life course that assures salvation.
(Zephaniah 2:3) Seek Jehovah, all you meek ones of the earth, who have practiced His own judicial decision. Seek righteousness, seek meekness. PROBABLY you may be concealed in the day of Jehovah's anger. [emphasis added]
(Amos 5:15) Hate what is bad, and love what is good, and give justice a place in the gate. It MAY be that Jehovah the God of armies will show favor [emphasis added]
(Matthew 7:13-14) Go in through the narrow gate; because broad and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are the ones going in through it; 14 whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are the ones finding it.
(Matthew 24:13) But he that has endured TO THE END is the one that will be saved. [emphasis added]
(Philippians 2:12) Keep WORKING OUT your own salvation with fear and trembling [emphasis added]
(Hebrews 10:26-27) For if we practice sin willfully after having received the accurate knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice for sins left, 27 but there is a certain fearful expectation of judgment
(Hebrews 5:9) [Jesus] became responsible for everlasting salvation to all those OBEYING him [emphasis added]
(James 2:14,17) Of what benefit is it, my brothers, if a certain one says he has faith but he does not have works? That faith cannot save him, can it? ...17 Thus, too, faith, if it does not have works, is dead in itself.

The bible says to be save you must accept Jesus, and to all who do will be saved.
