Pretty fancy tap dancing, sure. But a JW worth his weight in not-at-home-slips could do it.
The people of the world are worshiping their god, Satan. He is the ruler of the world. And certainly, just as he rules the churches, he rules the governments. But Jehovah allows the rulerships to exist to avoid total chaos.
Then the JW will change the topic slightly and say that a Christian must obey God before the authorities. He will pile on to that. They will point to Jesus paying the tax and saying to give Caesar's things to Caesar, so that there is no reason to give a bad witness. Basically, they will put in the same conflict your post asks about but they will feel they fully explained it.

Ain't it absolutely amazin' how the wt organization can use a strategically placed simple punctuation point like a comma,,,, or a simple word like "relative" and change the whole meaning of the bible? They are just masterful!
just saying!

This dual perspective is also seen in wt's daring assertion, that Nebuchadnezzar, the stump that was banded, the maniac eating grass, was both the Pagan world ruler, but ultimately pictured the Kingdom of God, HIS rulership over the earth, the Cosmos.

A few things that never added up were:
Wouldn't the world be in utter chaos if Satan had really been ruling the world all these thousands of years and he was the reason for all of mankind problems.
Or:
Wouldn't Satan make sure everything was running perfectly on earth if he were trying to prove that he could lure mankind away from god?
Or:
If Satan is running the world and he opposes Jehovah's and his organization, how come so many of his government agencies uphold the JW's right to practice their religion and even allow them to speak out and publicly criticize them?

Two Bible Beliefs of Jehovah`s Witnesses ,Do They Align with each other ?
Lol-lol. Now that's a funny question to ask us here on this site. I can't really think of 2 beliefs of jw's that align with any kind of logical, normal, reasonable thinking!

I had in mind many of the newbies that have lately joined this site "eyes" and sometimes the most obvious questions just seem to elude us .
