So, Why is it that we (XY Chromosomes) feel obligated to grow beards once we leave the org? I've had a little 'chin' beard for about the last 8 years, but every year in November I try to grow the whole thing out... but inevitably I fail miserably. Maybe my facial follicles are still JWs. I don't know. Anyone else have this problem?

Yeah, when I found out about this no beard or chin hair "commandment"...it solidified my thoughts they are brainwashed. Sorry to those who still have family in. It is what it is. But I don't mean to upset you.

Love beards, growing my winter full beard out right now, for those frigid Canadian winters...

I like beards. They keep my face warm, and besides I hate the feel of cold steel on my face. The only disadvantage to beards I can think of is if you're starting to get a runny nose from being out in the cold, you often don't know it till it falls off your mustache onto your shirt. ;-)

I grew a beard twice and it itched so bad I mowed it off. Right now I have a moustache and soul patch, just enough to annoy my JW family.

yeah... Mine's at the itch phase right now, but I'm committed to another two weeks.

Funny you should ask. I started growin my beard out two weeks ago. It's at the point now where I need to trim my mustache and goatee down to a one so it will blend better. Mine comes in fast. Then again, my grandma had a moustache.
