    ...sent me a photo of himself with a goatee and a shaved head! Is this acceptable?

    Threestars, of the "hoping to get her baby brother back class"

    Cool! Congratulate him on his new look. Yeah it would be good to have them back, but keep living in the meantime; everybody has their own pace.

    Not the last time I heard, maybe he's not as active as he used to be.

    i feel that the congregation soften up atm regarding such things. my congregation has a brother with a shaved head and beard too (wouldnt perform on the show "top of the dubs" though)...

    and MS's and Elders let their beards grow too. there has been a lot discussion lately and a elder voting... and now they are allowed to wear'em

    Well that's both good and bad. On one hand it's great if they are easing up a bit on the beard thing, but it also means that his cong just may be OK with it and he is not veering away from this religion.

    Also--this is just not fair. If they allow men to wear facial hair now they should let the women dress in pants.

    A shaved head has become more acceptable, but with a goatee? I hope he is steering away from the borg. Time will tell.
