Update
Funeral was today, no service, closed shop, cremated.
My friend is really disapointed that no way was provided to say good bye to this man. Shocked would be a better word.
I think this is really bad. The family had ended all 'worldly' friends, the non baptised husband too. So he dies at his own hand with nobody to pay respects to him or his family. No kingdom hall service, nothing.
sweep it all under the carpet as fast as can be.
I would bet that with the kingdom hall denied and no true friends, the poor wife had little alternative but to suffer this indignity.
