Nice observation there
But know that Jehovah’s Witnesses are following the example of Jesus and his Apostles in remaining neutral in politics.
Jesus refused one of the highest positions in any government. Jehovah’s Witnesses follow this pattern:

“John 6:15, “Then Jesus, knowing that they were about to come and seize him to make him king, withdrew again to the mountain all alone” compare with (2 Cor 5:20)




This is where you missed it.
The Bible has made it clear that
The Evil One controls the whole world.”—1 John 5:19.
Satan is the present world ruler sir . That's why the world is mess right now.
God is going to bring Satan’s control over mankind to an end under Christ rulership(Hebrews 2:14).
For now, we're loyal to that God's kingdom only and we're preaching the Goodnews

You are not Jesus and your assignments are different from that of Jesus.

My question is , who chose the rulers of this world ? God or Satan

JW can contribute politically by voting for their members whose agenda would be to promote laws that would be aligned with the words of God.
Satan is ruling the affairs of this world through humans who have no regards for the commandments of God.
It would have been different if devoted children of God contributed their quotas.

I like discussing with people that are in intrested in God's word. Many Good people that claimed to love God have taken over government position but have never able to bring peace . They've tried different System of Governing from Military, Democracy and others but all are to futile .
I was confused as well but the Bible gives me the answer here in

"Ruling fellow Man does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step.” (Jeremiah 10:23) . Humans are created with the ability to rule themselves which we make their pursuit for peace elusive.
'Don’t put your trust in human leaders'(Psalm 146:3, 4). Don't let them lie to you, no human government can bring an enduring peace even if they have the best motives .

“[God’s Kingdom] will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms and then established an everlasting peace under God's kingdom(Dan 2:44).

Would you invest in a business that is doomed to collapse?
The Bible foretold that this present human government will be destroy. Do you think it's now true religion to get involved?

The present ruler of this world is by Satan's Authority.
Rev 13: 2- And the dragon gave to the beast its power and its throne and great authority.
The Dragon is the Satan
The beast is Nation rulers

Compare with

Then the Devil said to him: “I will give you all this authority and their glory, because it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.

The best religion is the religion followed by those who resist the temptation of the sin of thank you Lord that I am not like that JW, or Muslim or atheist or whoever believes differently to oneself over there, because one just loves the neighbours regardless of their beliefs, and one resists promoting a false narative like Muslims are terrorists because one knows their Muslim neighbour has never ever terrorised them.

Enilove, buda does not believe what buda can ask and knock and seek about with all of buda's heart and soul and mind and being so buda may instead know for absolute certainty. And what buda knows for absolute certainty is that if say one, for instance, were a Christian who followed the religion as the written down laws dictate that one should - love your neighbours, love your enemies even moreso, be a peacemaker, do not do Lord Lord, do not open threads claiming you are more righteous than others and so on and so on, Nairaland will definitely be a better place, and like a mustard seed, that better might extend further until the entire Nigeria and the whole world is completely devoid of earthly problems because those God's written down laws you mention are precisely what will bring lasting solutions to this earthly problems if we could only understand and exercise them in our relationships with others instead of saying with our mouths what we fail to practise in our very own hearts.

A true Christian will not join the army to start with and a true pastor will not bless his followers b4 or after going to the battlefield .
This is not limited to JW organization only.

It is for such reasons we need the participation of Christians at the helm of affairs to direct the decisions that will align with the commandments of God.

You should have reconciled the verses of the Qur'an with the characters of the followers of the Qur'an.
Are they doing according to the Quran verse I quoted or not ?
The answers is yes. This is evident from their books and evident from happenings around the world from time immemorial , and not limited to one nation
Ex September 11 2001 atteck on world trade centre that claimed more than 3000 lives of innocent people in the USA. The Book Haram atrocities in Nigeria etc.

What about Judaism and Christianity . Are they going about killing according to the Bible passages you quoted ? No .
Why not ?
The answer is because second Chronicles 15:13 was for the Israelites themselves and not for foreigners. It is a death penalty on the Jews who failed to worship the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob in Israel.
It is not a command to kill people in other countries who are not worshiping their God.

That of Luke 19:27 is talking about the judgment of God on all the idol worshippers ,that ever lived , on the judgment day.
Christians don't go about killing people for Jesus.

It is not enough to quote a Bible verse . What is necessary is to know or understand what the verse is saying in context.

Satan is ruling or directing the affairs of this world through human agents who are loyal to him. But the will of God is for Christians to take their rightful position as rulers so as to direct the affairs of this world in way that will hinder Satan from harvesting more souls for destructions.





Let every person be in subjection to the superior authorities, for there is no authority except by God; the existing authorities stand placed in their relative positions by God

2 Therefore, whoever opposes the authority has taken a stand against the arrangement of God; those who have taken a stand against it will bring judgment against themselves.

Baba when citing scriptures to those you have been conversing with so far highlight the point and repeat for emphasis so they see it. Or else na jumping from scripture to scripture to wriggle free from what is right in front of them.

From the stands they take so far you could have easily asked is God and Satan in arrangement as regards setting up AUTHORITIES all over the world? grin grin

Is praying for the peace of your nation contrary to God's will ?


Reality tells me they pray that God touches the HEART of leaders/AUTHORITIES countries to do the right thing on behalf of their members in those countries that their members are persecuted in order for them to continue their activities.

How is speaking the truth evil? It is love to speak the truth as it is . Not half truth or half falsehood.





It would be very stupid of me to love someone like budaatum.


Ultimately, the problems in the world can't cease since people like budaatum exist.

A true Christian will not join the army to start with and a true pastor will not bless his followers b4 or after going to the battlefield
This is not limited to JW organization only.
It is for such reasons we need the participation of Christians at the helm of affairs to direct the decisions that will align with the commandments of God.
The role oef a pastor and true Christian is to pray to avert evil .
I agree with you wink
You mean it's only a false Christains that defend their country in war?



How often do you pray for your country even If you don't think you should join the governance ?
Remember what I told you about "how Genuine Christains based their beliefs on God's word".
It's not about what I think but what God's word says.

Christains means Christ followers. We do our best to imitate him and follow his commands (Corinthians 11:1)

John 17:9,16
I pray for them: I(Jesus) pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world

Jesus our model is politically neutral and did not pray for this world either because he knows the government of this word is under the CONTROL 'the evil one' (1John 5:19).
Simple.

Instead, Jesus asked his genuine followers to pray for something else

Let your Kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also on earth-(Matthew 6:10)
It's God's kingdom 'that will put an end to the the mess in this world and restore an everlasting PEACE' that Jesus asked us to pray for .

Your "truth", enilove. And not that of your neighbours who do not fit the caricature that is your "truth" just as you wouldn't fit the caricature of an eater of Christ's meat because that would be as much an untruth as your caricature is no truth at all, unless your Muslim neighbours are unloving you enilove.

When Paul admonished Christians to pray so that our brothers in countries across may continue to serve our God with joy.
Someone may think Paul was asking Christians to pray in support of the rulers but when we consider other scriptures that reveals the person behind the world government it's clear that we are not to pray in support of the world's rulers.
First of all there are many contenders for seats of power under Satan's government therefore praying for one against another is tantamount to taking sides whereas we are no part of their government! John 17:14
Secondly Satan is the overall head we know nothing good can come out of their programs because the same rebellious spirit in Satan is what is in all those participating in his government.

Shedding of innocent blood...

Didn't your Lord shed the blood of his innocent son too?

Is this criminal too?

Just questions o!

Did Yahweh give you any religion in the Bible?

Christianity and Judaism was never mentioned anywhere in the Bible.

Christianity was invented after Jesus!



Act 11:26
