There are quite a few "enlightened leaders" that praise Jehovah's Witnesses for several different reasons.

The Pope has praised the Witnesses on several occasions for their desire to spread the Good News of the Kingdom.

Numerous bible scholars have praised Jehovah's Witnesses for the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures stating that it is one of the most accurate translations in existence and is very easy to understand.

Other leaders have praised Jehovah's Witnesses in their stand against the Nazi's during World War II where they were put into concentration camps for their refusal to get involved in the war or the genicide of the Jews.

Still other leaders praise Jehovah's Witnesses for their use of the "sacred names" that were considered too sacred to be uttered outside of Jerusalem but have over time been erased from society as we know it. Unless of course you start to research the meaning of bible names in Wikipedia or start doing research on the internet.

Jehovah's Witnesses are also known for their stand against war because of being an international organization under the rule of Christ Jesus and although they respect the authorites of the countries that they live in unless it goes against their beliefs.

They are also famous for what they have done for free speech around the world. There is a good chance we wouldn't be having this discussion if it weren't for what they have fought for over the past 100 years.

Finally but certainly not exclusively Jehovah's Witnesses are known for their integrity even under threat of death. They don't steal, take illegal drugs, smoke cigarettes, have more than one wife, participate in immoral activaties, go to war or participate in any violent activaties even to the extent of not being allowed to possess or carry a gun for any purpose other than hunting (that means that they can't become police officers or work for the armed forces).

Why do enlighten rulers praise Jehovah's Witnesses?

Simply put, Jehovah's Witnesses around the world obey the law's of the nation in which they live. They are peaceful and love people. Therefore, world rulers are happy to give them praise.Nobody can really know why an "enlightened ruler" would praise the Jehovah's Witnesses, but the main point is that Jehovah's Witnesses never have and never will endorse any form of human government. The only form of government that Jehovah's Witnesses look forward to is actually the end of human government, and the establishment of Jehovah's rule here on earth through his son, Christ Jesus. The Jehovah's Witnesses call this future rule the purest and most true Theocracy.Perhaps you could give details of which specific rulers you mean, before an attempt is made on 'why'.

Music is an important part of worship and praise to God. Most of the verses about music talk about singing, but some mention instruments. Perhaps the best-known is Psalm 150: " Praise the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens. 2 Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness. 3 Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre, 4 praise him with tambourine and dancing, praise him with the strings and flute, 5 praise him with the clash of cymbals, praise him with resounding cymbals. 6 Let everything that has breath praise the LORD.
