This post is so funny because that was the first thing I did after I quit..... I have to grow a beard, and since 2002 like Samson, no razor has touched my head. I always felt I would never be able to get people to forget I was a JW before....... now I get "you were a JW really?? I can't believe that.. How long were you one? NO WAY!!!!!!!!! Freedom is soooooooooooo sweet.

This thread is cracking me up. I love the "two questions" and Sd'7's affirmative and loud "YES". We all heard that brother. It just hit me how big a deal this beard thing is for guys. I'm married to a military guy so no beards aloud, I was a jw forever, so I never knew beards. But I guess it's a big deal! You guys go for it! I'm going for the tattoo myself this summer.

Thanks. At some point I'm going to write about my fade-fail and hopefully show others what not to do.
Has your fade officially failed? I know on another thread you mentioned they might be on to you?? How is everything going?

Just thought I'd share that the beard is back and has been for the last few weeks, gray hairs and all.

I knew an elder who grew a beard. The next thing I knew he was an apostate.

Mad Sweeney - excellent! Yes, my ego took a hit when the kids started playing 'let's count the gray hairs in daddy's beard'...but they add a bit of character and Mrs. Zoiks finds me even more irresistible with it.
Finallysomepride - is it the itching? The beard really needs at least a full month to flourish and achieve awesomeness. Why not stick with it for another two weeks or so?

to late it's gone feels much better.
i have had both full beards & goaties a few times since leaving jwland, mainly bcoz i'm to lazy (to busy) to shave everyday, enjoy having a beard but enjoy it more without. Longest time i have had one would about 18 months.
