Would there have been a funeral for Jesus?

    the "JWs cautioning against elaborate funerals" is a "red herring". Jesus was no JW. "Jehovah's Witnesses" as a religious name didn't appear in WT print until early 1976, being "Jehovah's witnesses" until then (note the small w, this was a result of the "religion is a snare and a racket" view", which predates the more nuanced modern shift and easing to a more accurately Scriptural view, which differentiates "true religion" from "false religion"). "Religion" according to the Bible's definition provides in 2 Kings 17, has its root in a Hebrew term referring to "judgment" as in "judicial decision".
