Here's one I like to use but it's not the only one.
***
w89 9/1 p. 19 Remaining Organized for Survival Into the Millennium ***Only Jehovah?s Witnesses, those of the anointed remnant and the "great crowd," as a united organization under the protection of the Supreme Organizer, have any Scriptural hope of surviving the impending end of this doomed system dominated by Satan the Devil. (Revelation 7:9-17; 2 Corinthians 4:4) They will make up the "flesh" that Jesus Christ said would be saved through the worst tribulation of all human history.

Worship book (2002) chap. 13 p. 124 A Great Crowd Before Jehovah?s Throne ***
Those of the great crowd are pictured as being marked for survival. (Ezekiel 9:4-6) "The mark" is the evidence that they are dedicated to Jehovah, baptized as disciples of Jesus, and involved in cultivating a Christlike personality. They obey the "voice out of heaven" that says regarding Satan?s worldwide empire of false religion: "Get out of her, my people, if you do not want to share with her in her sins, and if you do not want to receive part of her plagues."?Revelation 18:1-5.

w75 12/15 p. 753 The Kind of Persons Approved for God?s New Order ***We know that the "great tribulation" that is without parallel in human history is just ahead for both Babylon the Great and her political destroyers. (Matt. 24:3-22, 37-39) This global tribulation is meant to destroy them, not us, for it comes from the hand of the God whom we worship. It will destroy the symbolic "heavens and the earth that are now," this old order. (2 Pet. 3:7) All the same, it will bring with it a climactic test of our faith in God and our devotion to him. Only Christian witnesses of Jehovah who successfully pass this test will survive and come forth like fire-refined gold for God?s use in his precious new order.

Here is a gem for the 1960 Watchtower article "Your Will Be Done on Earth":
21
In progress of time, under the blessing and guidance of the kingdom of God, all the earth will be "like Eden," even "like the garden of Jehovah." (Ps. 45:16; Isa. 51:3) God will do for these dedicated sheep as he agreed to do for ancient Israel if they obeyed him as King of Israel: "Jehovah will also make you overflow indeed with prosperity in the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your domestic animals and the fruitage of your ground, on the ground that Jehovah swore to your forefathers to give you. Jehovah will open up to you his good storehouse, the heavens, to give you the rain on your land in its season and to bless every deed of your hand." (Deut. 28:11, 12) As including a global paradise, Jehovah?s will is certain to be done on earth.
22
Long ago down in Egypt faithful Jacob and his family, seventy souls, took up residence to stay there for a while. In the course of 215 years down there and in spite of the tyranny of later Pharaohs, the children of Israel came to number millions, with "six hundred thousand able-bodied men on foot, besides little ones." (Gen. 46:26, 27; Ex. 1:1-5, 12; 12:37) After Armageddon there will be, not seventy, but likely hundreds of thousands of surviving "other sheep" on hand with which to begin filling the earth with righteous offspring. With no devilish Pharaonic tyranny to defy, but under the blessing of God?s kingdom, these far more than seventy "other sheep" survivors should reproduce and become millions in no great length of time. No obedient ones will be dying.

Survival book chap. 12 pp. 92-93 Identified for Destruction or Survival? ***/DO YOU HAVE THE MARK?
10
It would be a serious mistake to conclude that if a person tries to lead a "good" life and if he shuns religions that are doing things clearly condemned in God?s Word, nothing more is required of him. All who hope to survive into the "new earth" must also be unmistakably identified as worshipers of Jehovah. (Revelation 14:6, 7; Psalm 37:34; Joel 2:32)

*** pe chap. 30 p. 255 What You Must Do to Live Forever ***
14
Do not conclude that there are different roads, or ways, that you can follow to gain life in God?s new system. There is only one. There was just the one ark that survived the Flood, not a number of boats. And there will be only one organization?God?s visible organization?that will survive the fast-approaching "great tribulation." It is simply not true that all religions lead to the same goal. (Matthew 7:21-23; 24:21) You must be part of Jehovah?s organization, doing God?s will, in order to receive his blessing of everlasting life.?Psalm 133:1-3.

A quote about what Armaggedon will actually be like when all those non-Jehovah's Witnesses are being killed is also useful:
Watchtower 1985 Feb 1st page 3
So devastating will Armageddon be that the carnage is referred to as a reaping of "the harvest of the earth" by means of a sharp sickle. "And the angel thrust his sickle into the earth and gathered the vine of the earth, and he hurled it into the great winepress of the anger of God. And the winepress was trodden outside the city, and blood came out of the winepress as high up as the bridles of the horses, for a distance of a thousand six hundred furlongs."?Revelation 14:15-20.
Yes, blood will run deep under the hand of God?s executional forces. The 69 million deaths of two world wars will pale in comparison to those slain in God?s war of Armageddon. Concerning them the prophet Jeremiah wrote: "Those slain by Jehovah will certainly come to be in that day from one end of the earth clear to the other end of the earth. They will not be bewailed, neither will they be gathered up or be buried. As manure on the surface of the ground they will become."?Jeremiah 25:30-33.
