Godly hair or ungodly hair ??

  I just recently grew a goatee mainly to balance off my face due to the thin hair on my head.

  the style is similar to one of these..

  This scriptural idea is used to discourage JW's from growing facial hair.. except a mustache ...

  1 Peter 3:3 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair , and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel

  4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart , in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit , which is in the sight of God of great price

  What are your thoughts serious or humorous ???

  My question is why is hair above the lip is Godly... but below the lip "evil "or" causing stumbling"

  Well arranged and neat to me would seem to be a balanced approach

  I don't think they should look like this however

  What would a hair at the corner of your mouth be evil or godly ??? .....

  See, I think mustaches are evil. Beards aren't. Unless you are Spock.

  I'm sorry but whoever used 1Pet 3:3 to discourage facial hair is an IDIOT. 1 Pet 3:1-4 was directed at WOMEN:

  1 Wives , in the same way be submissive to your husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, 2 when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. 3 Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. 4 Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight.

  Using that scripture to discourage goatees makes no sense unless it's a woman that's wanting to grow one. Even then, that would be stretching it a tad.

  I was stopped from being baptised because my hair was too wild - I like to play with some styles & colours.
