Who controls the world? [Spirituality & Religion]

I just had a Jehova Witness leaflet. It said Satan/Bal/the Devil/Cunnunis (the God of Fire, passion, anger, lust) whatever you want to call him) controls the world. Not Jehova/El/"God"/(the God of Air or the sky, positive action etc).

This actually makes some sense. I always read their leaflets but this one sort of makes sense.

Which leaves me wondering if as Christianity would have you believe their God created "the devil" and cast him out why does he allow him to control earth? If he's more powerful then why let him, why not just stop him? Why send a religion of followers? Devil worshippers don't knock on my door or Pagans or Buddhists. We don't see Hindus trying to convert people. Only Christians and Muslims and Scientologists seem to do this. Doesn't make sense.

As I understand it that sect is told that only 144 thousand people will be let into heaven.


That seems a little strange as far as compared to the other mainstream Christian faiths.
@SteelHands According to them the 144,000 are already gather and Jesus took over heaven in 1914. Many Christians consider them a cult.

@canusernamebemyusername It doesn't seem possible to give historical reports about someplace that nobody living had ever actually seen. Lol
