Long hair is a sign of rebellion.
reality check:
1) Jesus had long hair
2) The bald elders are jealous of your hair's ability to grow.

To this day, I still don't understand that no facial hair on men.
At my church we go as we want to, even in our PJ's no one cares. -

Shaved heads will get the 'privilage card' revoked just as quickly too.
Now that is interesting. My s-i-l shaves his head He is losing his hair and he says that by shaving it he doesn't have to look at his bald spot because it is all bald
Last year when my daughter paternal grandmother died he went to the funeral. I wonder what kind of impact his shaved head made on the JWs who were there? They wouldn't know that he is a reliable straight-forward business man who runs his own company - a very profitable company
Gads if he ever decided to become a JW (He won't because he sees how insane it all is) but would they force him to grow his hair?

How about Tattoos
Cons
Bible says "do not make a mark on your flesh"
Wordly
Pros
Same bible verse says "do not shave your beard". pick and choose?
worldly? there are 6 billion people in 'the world'. anything a human could possibly do is done by some people in 'the world'. the world wipe their asses with TP, they wear shoes, and eat at restaurants. should witlesses not do those things either? this is a self-supporting argument. make a rule not to do something. all good jw's who obey the rule are then different from 'the world', where an example of this behaviour can always be found. which came first - the rule or the worldliness? was it worldly before the rule, or only after? -
