  i have always wondered what the belief is on this.

  I have met a FEW witnesses that strongly believe: if you are not working towards baptism or baptised, you WILL die @ harmofgelatin... so what is the deal? Everyone i ever spoke to on this was kinda like "umm, we dont really know, we have to wait on Jah" etc... I just said straight out, no way - he isnt going to just kill like that. And i would get really passionate about it. and some strange looks ;) I still believe if there IS a god and there IS an end, he will judge by the heart... but even that is shady ground..

  I think this is their public 'out' when cornered for a response to a cultic-claim. It let's them try to save face without sounding like condemning fools. It becomes the 'politically correct' response for individual JWs but the official society stance is that non-jw's and inactive jw's and any others lacking the right heart condition will be destroyed at Armageddon.

  It is also used when a sincere JW is in a lucid moment and realizes that Armageddon, as presented by the WTBS, is not a loving concept at all.
