JWs refrain from voting in the political elections saying politics belongs to Satan (in obvious violation of Bible statement that Secular Governments are “God’s minister” on earth—Romans 13:1-6) Being built on American soil, there is no reason to think that JWs are ignorant of our Founding Fathers like Benjamin Franklin who wrote in his Autobiography that ‘good leadership rested on the foundation of moral and spiritual character.’ He lists in it 13 virtues (such as contentment, humility ……) he valued the most which became the basis of a chart that he used daily to check his attitude and behaviors!
He tells us that contentment is the greatest asset one can have (because you may have everything else you can dream of, yet if you do not have contentment, it is like you have nothing), yet it is something you are born with, the essential quality of your being. It unfolds itself when you withdraw your dependence on the externals—persons and things! One can even increase contentment when he helps others to realize the truth about contentment. You can further deepen it, when you bring it into everything you do!
On the contrary, see for yourself what happen if you imitate the primary activity of JW org (looking for mistakes in other religions and calling them “harlots” and things like that …. you are bound to lead a miserable life (it’s also counterproductive—you look for mistakes in others because you do not have love in the first place, and when you see mistakes in others, you can’t love them either—thus it’s all about lack of love which prompted Jesus to define hypocrisy as ‘seeing the mistakes of others, not of one’s self.’ (Mathew 7:1-5)
