Wednesday, September 3 For the Lord’s sake subject yourselves to every human creation: whether to a king as being superior or to governors.— 1 Pet. 2:13, 14 . Jehovah’s Witnesses worldwide fulfill this requirement for Christians as outlined by Peter. Although being no part of the wicked world, true Christians willingly subject themselves to government authorities “in their relative positions,” even as Paul instructed them. ( Rom. 13:1, 5-7 ) When Jehovah’s Witnesses conduct themselves as “temporary residents” in the present system, they are not doing so as part of some silent civil protest; neither do they oppose or interfere with others who make their own political or social decisions. ( 1 Pet. 2:11 ) Unlike some other religious groups, Jehovah’s Witnesses refrain from meddling in politics. They never try to dictate policy matters to civil authorities. The idea that they would attempt to disrupt public order or undermine the government is completely without foundation! w12 12/15 3:15, 16
