Perhaps it seen as a sign of up-to-no-good.

I have made many a child cry and hide behind their mother just by looking at them (in fact, I cry when seeing a reflection).

So that's why there are no mirrors in your house, jt...and I thought it might be a vampire thing. Whew!

In recent years in many lands a beard or long hair on a man attracts immediate notice and may, in the minds of the majority, classify such a person undesirably with extremists or as rebels against society. God?s ministers want to avoid making any impression that would take attention away from their ministry or hinder anyone from listening to the truth. They know that people are watching true Christians very critically and that to a great extent they judge the entire congregation and the good news by the minister?s appearance as a representative of the congregation.

Still a load a crap, of course. But I can't grow anything you'd recognize as a beard anyway, so a moot point for me I suppose. (Didn't Papa Smurf have a beard? I never trusted that demonic little gnome!)

I am curious as to why JWs aren't allowed to have facial hair. Why not? And why, then, was it okay for Jesus?

IMO it was okay for Jesus, because he was not trying to sell WTS literture.

If you look at old publications from WT society (30's through 70's) Jesus did not have a beard!

Poof, now he has one!

By the way people in the new world will not have a beard!

Poof! All those pictures show blacks, whites, chinese, asians, indians, paki's, arabs, men, women, children,...... but no bearded people (even Siks, and Ruskis)

So does that mean stubble=original sin? Maybe God told Adam to go forth and get him a Remington as he left the garden in disgrace with a 5 o'clock shadow.
