Growing up, and while in, I only ever shaved my head. Did not like hair.
As an adult I had a change of heart, and started to fall in love with all sorts of hair. So I let mine grow out. (Keep in mind I hadn't had hair since I was probably 4 years old)
What I've found is that everyone finds a way to complain no matter what. My bald head was seen as unchristian. "Jehovah gave you hair for a reason! It's disrespectful to not let it grow." My grandmother told me that one. However, when I did grow it out, it became "You look like a worldly person! Your hair is too long, you need to cut it!"
Keep in mind I did not have hair growing over my ears. Ugh. I gave up caring about what they thought of me. Its very simple, what others think of me is no concern of mine.
So I let it grow however long I want. Don't really shave anymore either. To which my aunt yesturday said, "What the hell is on your face!"
"The way I see it, Abraham or Moses started this trend, so it seems okay with my conscious." I know of course Moses or Lot did not set the Beard trend. I just find it funny how we overglorify Bible Characters with massive facial hair and yet, when someone comes in to a meeting with a gotee, they are scolded behind everyone's back. The supposal welcoming attitude we have to show to newcomers was never present in my congragation. Some of the most judgemental people I ever met were in The Kingdom Halls.
