Not that I am aware of. Jehovah's Witnesses do not engage in ritualistic practices involved with visiting the dead corpse in some countries such as in Africa, where their might be spiritistic practices associated with visiting the dead corpse. See Revelation 21:8. Other than that, Jehovah's Witnesses, have no barriers with funerals. When the funeral might be in a church, it is up the individual conscience of each Witness whether or not he will attend the funeral there.

What do Jehovahs witnesses believe about having friends?
Well, Jehovah's witnesses try and follow the early Christians (Jesus, and his followers) as close as possible. Jesus has friends and even God (Jehovah) had made friends with people on earth, God made friends with Abraham. There are MANY examples in the bible of people having friends.... Why would Jehovah's witnesses not have friends? Jehovah's witnesses enjoy getting together with friends, and going out together, they consider their friends, as if they were family. OF COURSE they do! There is NO where in the bible that say's 'Thou shalt not have friends'.

The type of job would depend on a Witnesses discernment, prayer, and careful consideration of Bible principles.

The Wayans brother were raised with a familiarity with Jehovah's Witnesses. Some of their family members are or were Jehovah's Witnesses.

Do Jehova Witnesses turn family members away from other family members who are not witnesses?
No. Jehovah's Witnesses are very family oriented and do not try to break up family relations. They will refrain from participating in any religious observances their family may celebrate. Because they do not celebrate many of the holidays that come around during the year, they are sometimes viewed as turning away from the family. But mostly they are declining to participate. Jehovah's Witnesses do not smoke or do drugs. If other family members smoke or drink excessively or do drugs, they will not "hang out" with them or allow them to do this in their (the JW) home. In my case, when visiting me at my home, my relatives are very respectful and go out on my porch when they feel the need to smoke.
