Pssshh... Michael Jackson was technically an "apostate" and he was memorialized at his mom's KH.
There's all kinds of double standards and rule-bending going on; it must chap the GB's collective ass to no end.

About two years ago, a well known Brother from our area an a few other JW's were killed when the commuter plane they were traveling in while serving where the need is greater, slammed into a mountain. At the memorial they stressed how much more important the day of his death is rather than the day of his birth since what you are when you die is what counts with Jehovah. They almost made it sound like it was a good thing that he died this way. They speculated that it was very likely that at the moment of impact, these JW's were talking about spiritual matters or laughing over some funny experience they had in the door to door work. I looked over at the widow and kids and could tell they weren't buying it and like the rest of us, would rather not have been picturing the moment of impact at all. Everyone knew they must have grazed the tree tops for a few moments and were well aware that they were in big trouble. Trying to put a JW spiritual spin on the whole thing backfired. The rest was an infomercial on the benefits of being a Witness.
When my Mother Died at 57, we weren't allowed to put her picture up front with the flowers....just wouldn't do to draw too much attention to the individual.

Yeah she must have been pretty special to get anything other than the usual sales pitch
