How convenient to teach that the government is controlled by Satan, then use that very government to protect yourselves and your 'profits'. I guess you've got Satan in your back pocket.

How can you spend all day thinking up the next stupidiest question you can think about Jehovah's Witnesses?
Don't you have a job or a life to go to?

Every one of your "questions" I have read shows a clear ignorance of the facts.
Yes the governments are under the control of Satan. Revelation chapters 13 and 17 show this quite clearly, as does 2 Corinthians 4:4, John 14:30, Ephesians 2:2, & 1 John 5:19.
Still, Jehovah uses these same governments for the benefit of mankind and general, as well as his own servants. (Romans 13:3, 4; 1 Peter 2:13, 14)

Are you saying that a person must refrain from all government assistance because they might differ with some policies?
If you're against the war in Iraq, must you put an end to receiving welfare?
Plus, Revelation does state the 'earth' comes to the aid of God's people.
Revelation 12:16.
Your question reveals that you hate first and find 'reasons' after.

You can Only be helping yourself by studing the Bible and coming up with Real answers my young apprentice.
Today people do and say anything to disparage the Christian congregation as well. It is Not Jehovah Witnesses that say that the Governments are controlled by Satan, its the Bible..
Satan is ruler of both the demons and the world of mankind alienated from God. ( John 14:30)
The bible tells us that Satan “showed [Jesus] all the kingdoms of the world [in a vision] and their glory, and he said to him: ‘All these things I will give you if you fall down and do an act of worship to me.’”—Matthew 4:8, 9.
John tells us: “And I saw three unclean inspired expressions that looked like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the wild beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet. They are, in fact, expressions inspired by demons and perform signs, and they go forth to the kings of the entire inhabited earth, to gather them together to the war of the great day of God the Almighty.” (Revelation 16:13, 14)
Jesus Christ declared that Satan the Devil is “the ruler of this world,” with whom he had no friendly dealings. On the last night of his life on earth as a man, Jesus Christ said to his apostles: “The ruler of the world is coming. And he has no hold on me.” (John 12:31; 14:30; 16:11)

Hi there Mr Apostate. "May Jehovah rebuke you." (Jude 9) You know very well the issue of 'relative subjection', and how the governments are allowed to exist to prevent anarchy in the earth. Furthermore, Revelation 12:16, 17 speaks of the earth opening its mouth to swallow the persecution against God's people. This includes winning battles in the court system. In fact, it's cases like this that allow you to run your apostate mouth without fear of censorship by the government.

I grew up in a Jehovah's Witness family. I don't recall being taught that the government was controlled by Satan. We were taught to show respect for authority, including government, but not to join it and to remain neutral.

Do you need some money?
Because you've been ranting about our non-profit status.
How about you study law, work yourself up into the lawmaker's office and make some amends to the constitution?
At least that way you'd earn (and learn) something.

I find it very funny when christians belittle other christians, such as JWs or Mormons, for not being christian enough. Think what negative thoughts you will about JWs, and then you will know what we think about you.

Amen, brother.
Let's add to that: how convenient & hypocritical to take blood fractions to keep yourselves alive but refuse to give blood donations.
