I recently attended a non JW funeral at a local church. During the service, a couple of friends/relatives of the deceased eloquently spoke for a few minutes about the deceased with some of their fond memories and gave heartfelt, respectful tributes.
Would I ( a non JW) be given a few minutes to speak at either of my JW parents funerals at the Kingdom hall ?
I guess I already know the answer, but if the answer is "no", then why not and how would they hide the heartlessness of refusing ?
