    Did you have to make a major change in your hair style, or hair length when you joined the JW's?

    They hinted that I needed a hair cut when I joined. I guess my hair was a little too long then.

    I found that most issues with hair styles were totally dependent on how many assholes were on the local BOE. For instance in one Congregation I attended the elders didn't want any young brothers to wear hairstyles that were commonly referred to as 'fades'. I had to let my hair grow out a bit and wear a lining all the way around while I attended that KH to stop being harassed. A fade is equivalent to a crew cut I believe and it was always interesting to see pictures of young GB members in the Proclaimers pub wearing that exact same hairstyle back in the day. Ignorant hypocrites.

    There were definately some hair police out there. When I got baptized, they said my hair looked a little scruffy, sure wasn't long for sure.

    By best friend was a witness too, and when he would come to visit from another hall, the PO was upset cause he was giving a bad name on our family because his hair was a half inch over his ears.
