Genesis 1:26-28, along with passages like Genesis 2, Psalm 8, and Romans 8, makes it pretty clear that God gave humanity the job of looking after His creation. And I think that Jehovah’s Witnesses believe in this responsibility. (Just like most other Christians do) > Other people look to political organizations to solve man’s problems. By doing this, they are rejecting God’s Kingdom. (Who is the devil? , §5, JW.org) > We know that we originate with God, but **the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one.** (1 John 5:19 New world translation ) So, the JW steer clear of politics because Satan’s in charge. But from what I can tell they also believe that we’re all called to actively care for creation during our lives. Not taking action does leave creation vulnerable to harm from the wicked one, and God commanded us to protect it. So how does this duty to be good stewards of creation fit with their beliefs on a large scale, **how would a fully JW society operate before God’s Kingdom fully arrives**? As in *a realistic society the size of Germany or Belize that needs to feed people, manage waste, prevent crime, manage a power grid, and handle things like pollution or sickness.*
