According to JWs the creation at Rom 8:19-22 apply to Jehovah's witnesses with earthly hope. We read the verses:

"For the creation is waiting with eager expectation for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not by its own will, but through the one who subjected it, on the basis of hope 21 that the creation itself will also be set free from enslavement to corruption and have the glorious freedom of the children of God. 22 For we know that all creation keeps on groaning together and being in pain together until now."

The belief is that during the thousand year reign of Christ and his 144,000, the earthly hopers will gradually attain perfection. The glorious freedom of the children of God is viewed as perfection. And that the earthly hopers will attain this after the thousand year reign.

Since those the witnesses view as earthly hopers walk by the spirit, are spirit minded, these verses are not referring to them.

Jehovah's witnesses believe that the other sheep start to be gathered around the 1930's. That shows that they do not belong to the creation Paul stated here. Why?

Notice what ROM 8:22
22 For we know that all creation keeps on groaning together and being in pain together until now."

It says until NOW. by saying " now", it means that the creation Paul has in mind were in existence at the time he was writing. So this is definitely not a group from the 20th century.

It is true that all, including the sons of God were once subjected to enslavement to sin, but as the true christians have accepted Christ, they are not seen as part of that creation under sin. So Paul's use of creation must refer to those that have not accepted Christ. Some among them will enjoy from the rulership of God's sons.

Do we have a clue of whom they are?

See this scriptures:

Gen 18:18
Why, Abraham is surely going to become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed by means of him." Compare Gen 22:18; 26:4

From here we see two groups, Sons of God a.k.a sons of Abraham and the nations that will benefit from them.

After Satan is bound in abyss, see what the bible says:

Rev 20:3
And he hurled him into the abyss and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he would not mislead the nations anymore until the 1,000 years were ended. After this he must be released for a little while."

Here we see that " Nations" will survive to be ruled by God's sons. Confirming that this is so, notice that after Satan's release those he tempted are called nations from four corners of the earth. (Rev 20;7)

Some from among these nations will definitely repent and follow Jesus, and eventually become part of God's sons.

So you as a JWs should be among those that belong to Christ and will rule with Jesus. Meaning you're not among that creation.
