    He will have been counselled by an elder. If persistent, his privelages will be removed if the Cong overseer is sticking rigidly to WT policy. Not even allowed to do mics

    Ok so it is interesting that you are talking about this today! Although I am already out of the JW cult mentally I pretend to be in when talking to family and friends so my friend told me about another brother in the hall who has been wearing a beard for 2 weeks. Suddenly another brother started to wear one also. The elders noticed this trend, contacted the branch for advice. I do not have any more info but my guess is they will try to quash this out ASAP! They must not let this spread! Oh no! The terrible evil beards!

    My last big Org-wellian Rally, at break spotted a bearded

    fellow walking all alone

    He had a badge but was all alone

    Unusual

    He looked DFed actually

    Sad

    So I introduced myself

    We talked

    He's a tailor really nice guy

    I believe he was an immigrant

    I'm pretty sure he was looked on as a subversive

    Good thing he had a badge

    The black suited security with wrist phones would've been following him

    Lol

    :0)

    My beard actually caused the CO to write a

    BAD REPORT about the CongregationTM

    after his visit

    COBE showed it to me

    They're more concerned with THIS than Bible principles

    Must have a good report from "Mother"

    Um I thought that not "stumbling" anyone was the point here

    That's right, you can't stumble appointed Bros

    Only sisters and others (sarcasm)

    Think again

    That'll put the fear of God into the bearded fellow!!"

    Thanks for all the great responses! Only surrounding JW land could there be so much discussion on men's facial hair styling. Funny how much judgement beards have brought in over the years--always a sign of a rebellious heart, LOL!
