Funny enough there is a book about JWs with almost your exact wording. "I'm Perfect, Youre doomed"
Go ask around on r/ExMormon, r/ExJW, read I'm Perfect, You're Doomed by Kyria Abrahams. Celibacy for religious purposes is an anachronism in the age of condoms and birth control. It doesn't help anyone anymore.
That's interesting that you've heard that because the way I understood the 144 000 was that they were selected arbitrarily by God. If you were in a Kingdom Hall and there was someone who was particularly kind and saintly, everyone in the congregation would start to think that they were one of the elect. As one of the elect, they get respect, special privilege, and they are the only ones who can take communion (everyone else just passes the bread and grape juice because they aren't elect and, therefore, cannot partake in the sacrament).
Granted, I don't know what your source is, but I got this from a memoir by an ex-JW called I'm Perfect, You're Doomed. I don't know how libelous it may or may not be as the author is very, very bitter about her upbringing but the insider knowledge of a tradition is better than any armchair sources.
Google brings up "Faith on the March" by A H MacMillian, "The Truth that leads to Eternal Life", and "I'm Perfect, You're Doomed" which is satire.

I really enjoyed Kyria Abrams' memoir I'm Perfect, You're Doomed.
