Why are Jehovah Witnesses not allowed to attend weddings/funerals in other places of worship?

I am a JW, have been for a long time, this is matter that is left to each witnesses own conscience, their is no rule you can’t attend weddings funerals in a church, and you won’t be looked down on if you do. I myself have and aunt who isn’t a JW I was at her wedding (It was in a Lutheran church) and when her husband died (also not a JW) I was at the funeral, the meal afterward, all the stuff to help grieve with her, also 3 of my uncles one of whom is an elder served as pallbearers for her husband- they didn’t participate in praying etc like that (though my dad who is a JW offered the prayer at the Memorial service for her husband held later that week- it was at a community hall so people of both faith’s didn’t feel uncomfortable)- but they took part in helping their sister in her process. I’ve also attended weddings of non-JW friends and other family members in a church. Personally as long as I’m not taking part in any worship it doesn’t offend my conscience, perhaps your cousins famil
