What is their official explanation for not allowing beards?
by keyser soze ini ask because my gf, who knows all about my jw upbringing, convinced me to grow a goatee, just to see how it looks.
we both decided it looked good so i decided to keep it.
i tried to explain to her that as a jw, i wasn't allowed to grow one, but then drew a blank when she asked me why.

The origin of this likely had to do with beardless Rutherford wanted people to look more like himself, instead of his bearded predecessor (Russell). Cult members ultimately fashion themselves to look like thier leader.
Today that origin might be lost is the myst of time and it is a self-perpetuating tradition.

My thoughts on Geoffrey Jackson
by thedepressedsoul infirst off, i don't think that dude is going to show face.
he's most likely on a plane already.
if he shows it's bad pr and if he doesn't show it's bad pr.

IF the GB are mere figureheads as some have said, then perhaps indeed Jackson does not really know anything. -
