It is founded on a solidly based faith that Paradise is inevitable.
It may be inevitable, but we do not know how or when. You don't either. Until then, we must make do as best we can and do the Lord's work on earth. That means good governance and justice-politics.

Even if I agree with everything you say, that doesn't alter the fact that the JW's is a mind control cult and isn't the approved organization of God.

My points is not to get you into the Jehovah's witness organization at all. It is to get you to find your spiritual strength and build on it. I only research what I want to know and communicate it to you all. It is up to you if you take from it or leave it alone.
I, for one, take what I know and try to apply it. It is hard since I am a sinner but never the less, I research and try to apply it to my life. This makes me a new kind of Theocratic, the peaceful kind.

Whether we like it or not, we're all citizens of one country or the other.
This is the fundamental meaning of political - being a citizen of and having a say in the governance of whichever area you happen to reside.
Participating actively in the governmental process does not, imo, have to detract from the fact that we're awaiting the Kingdom of God.
It should be an individual's decision as to the level of participation he/she chooses.

Can you give some examples of these laws we should submit ourselves to in order to enjoy our lifes to the full?
I would say everyone knows these simple laws, but for the few that don't know they are-
-Love Jehovah your God with all your might, body, and mind. This means study, and preach about God all you can
-Treat thy neighbor as you want to be treated. This covers alot including murder, theft, and more.
Thats it! This is all you need to follow.

Reductio ad absurdum. Libraries have been written on ethics and morailty. All is not that simple.

The problem I have with your thinking is that.................. you dont!!!!!
You repeat, to the word, an article from one of the publications of the organisation of the jehovahs witnesses like some over zealous parrot; an article similar to which many of us on here will have read a thousand times and expect what of it?
You know, for most of us we have heard this stuff a zillion times, some of us from conception forward.......You know, we have tried to ram it down worldly folks throats just like you are doing to us..........You know, and if you dont you should, that some and probably most of us, believed all of what you believe, some probably loved believing sated by the promise of everlasting life in paradise earth and you also know that just about everybody on this site has chosen to no longer be associated with this religion........we have chosen this because our eyes have been opened and we now know it is not the 'truth', that is a form of brainwashing mind control based on false prophecy and deceit.
You have repeatedly being given information that you know proves your religion to be wrong and deceitful.
So, why oh why, do you continue to post garbage like this?
What is your motivation?
Are you short on hours...........because talking to apostates does not count and is certainly a waste of your time.
Gotta love you for trying though...........
Thats it! This is all you need to follow.
Are you sure? Probably hundreds of millions of people are trying to live up to these laws --- or assert they do at the least.
Could I ask you another question: how should we love God? because there's no unanimity on this. Some have even put 'love God' above 'love thy neighbor' and this has led to horrible acts.
You are right, Aleman, I don't put any trust for this life or for eternal things in any humans or human organizations. Be they Democrats, Republicans, Governing Body, Ron Paul, Hillary, or anyone else, I do not look to them to guide my life.
