What do Jehovah's Witnesses believe happens to Non JWs who die outside the Watchtower?

Update:

from my reading and conversations with JWs it seems that they believe that all Non Jws ( at least those above the age of reason) will be exterminated by their version of Almighty Jehovah God

Update 2:

If they are not to speculate about or assert knowledge that Non JWs are to be exterminated, then why has no JW of whom I have asked this question ever stated that they do not know about the fates of Non Jws

No JW has ever contradicted me when I've stated that JWs have told me that I will be exterminated if I remain outside the "Ark of the Watchtower Society" when the world ends ( or if I die before that)

    They believe only JWs can have eternal life and they don't believe in Hell. They do believe that the soul is annihilated, which is contrary to the teachings of Christianity.

    They believe Non Jehovah Witness will not go on to this paradise on Earth that is going to take God 1,000 years to make yet it took him 6 days to create this Earth. So I'm guessing he has lost his juice and has been spending his time recharging. So everyone who isn't a jw its okay we can party when it doesn't happen the way they thought it would. Which it so will not. It doesn't measure up and it kind of makes God look weak no offense. There is no hell and only 144,000 are only going to heaven but if there is no hell I am going assume they don't believe in purgatory. It's amazing that they even believe the sun is what turns the dark into day

    ♫ ♫ We are going to party.♫♫ Lol

    Yes I am a bible study student with Jehovah Witness and I can't believe their interpretations one lick.

    I have, a few times, stated that at the time of armegeddon, there will be two kinds of people, the most disgusting and the more pure. Consider that revelations and Matthew 24 both paint a picture where most of humanity is gone during a great time of destruction [or tribulation] Matthew 24 relates that, unless Armeggeddon comes, mankind would destroy the earth.

    For the more pure, they would be saved. for the most wicked, they will be destroyed, probably forever. Isaiah 10:32 Says that nations will shake their fists at the daughter of Zion. This prophecy likely means they will probably be shaking their fists at the almighty during the time of armegeddon. Isaiah 10 is a prophesy, even a little, about the last days.

    Righteous Nonjw's will go to heaven with Jesus. The jw will go to their abyss of darkness, hope some will end in purgatory.

    If a non-JW were to die at this time, we never claim that they will not get a resurrection. You clearly don't understand us.

    They preach that non JWs will be the slaves of the JWs.

    Nothing, they cease to exist. This is a moral step up from eternal torture in Hell.
