Which, of course, means that God is not really all-powerful and is, in a sense, dependent upon Satan. Christianity is fundamentally like Zoroastrianism and Manichaeism in that respect.

The JW explanation is that Satan called into question God's right to rule over his creation. We need to hang in there and keep worshipping him until he proves to the whole creation that he is right and we can't do without him. Our suffering, like Job's, is just collateral damage.
