I believe that the kh is the most emotionless and most pitiful place on earth. Clapping is the only real outlet allowed and it has to be about some stupid shit the wt is rolling out on the jw's behalf. Like the co visit or a new quick build.
I never seen anyone cry at a jw funeral except at the grave site but not in the kh.
When my dad died I cried at home. Nothing or no one at the kh ever gave me the sense of any consideration for true human feelings. In fact, the po of teh congregation approached my brother and extended his hand, not to offer condolences but rather to offer him a book study. Ya, count time you stupidass. Then a few days later he showed up unannounced at my house with a jr elder in training. He told me that since my dad claimed to be annointed, I needed to be sure that I was not supposed to pray to him or to expect any special favors. WTF! I threw them both out of my house and slammed their bookbags into his car. LOL
