Growing a Beard: Reaction from JWs (page 3)

wha happened?

I grew a goatie when I first faded. When I would bump into any JW, I received no response except: "Wow I didn't realize how much gray hair u have" I no longer have a goatie

wha happened, my wife tells me the same thing, the crazy broad. I've started growing a goatee minus the 'stache part, don't know what it's called, and I want to get that SOB long enough I can wrap both hands around it.

That sound bad doesn't it?

wha happened?

Not really bad. I just have the mustache and the spot underneath my lower lip. I forgot what they call that.

Every so often this is a point of contention between my father and me. And it always ends the same way: he gets flustered and has to admit that the only reason we don't allow beards is because "the Slave said so."

He tries to read me that little WT bit about beards being identified with the hippie movement of the 60's and 70's.

"Dad, the year is 200X. That was over 30 years ago. That doesn't apply anymore."

So much for logic though...

It varies When I have about 2 weeks growth or more and run into "THOSE" certain brothers who think it is their job to police everyone they ask me how I am doing.....or if I am still going to the hall...etc...etc...

With their reasoning about beards I would think they would also say no Porn Mustaches either since they make you look like you are a porn star....

Nothing says porn like a giant mustache and a bath robe ;)

Rassillon of the if god didn't want me to grow a beard he would have made me a woman class ;P

If a j-dub is giving you a hard time about your beard, simply tell him you are one of the 'actors' on the latest Drama at the district convention.

No go. They use fake paste-on beards for those.

Yes, but from one man to another, they both tend to look a little gay (not in the strict homosexual sense, just the "ghey" sense). I think they're a little too "mid-nineties" for me.

My father (an elder) once had to grow a beard because of an abcess - it would have been dangerous for him to shave and risk cutting into the abcess.

Anyway, he was not given any asignments whislt he had the facial hair. How weird.

I've grown a goatie - my wife likes it but it really does show my grey!
