Does anyone know why they don't eulogize?
Because (if I remember correctly), they always 'preach' that the person is not important. Only Jeehober is.
No birthday celebrations.
No graduation ceremonies.
Nothing that may put emphasis on the person as doing something special. (I.E. honors or awards)
No eulogies at funerals.
This has a tendency to de-humanize the individual. It is on purpose. The individual JW is not important.
Praise jah.
And yet... they tend to idolize those 7 who are in charge, or anyone who has rubbed elbows with them, or anyone 'high up' in the organization. While they will deny that they 'idolize' individuals, they do.
It's a very strange approach to living, if you ask me. Of course, I grew up in a large household with many siblings that my mom considered all as one entity. The Xyz family. No individualism. No kudos for accomplishments. Nothing.
Like a school of fish that moves one direction or the other. All going the same way. All alike. None different or individual going their own way, or having their own thoughts.
Sorry... I got to ranting and got off topic.
