Do they still have barbers at Bethel? Do they cut hair to any request? What if a Bethelite went to a barber outside Bethel and came back, are their cuts that would be sanctioned?
Here brothers weren't allowed to shave their heads, closely cropped if they were black though (not necessarily a universal jw rule), sisters could not cut their hair shorter than 1 inch even if it were due to cancer treatment (required to wear a scarf--did not stay on; or a hat, no explanation.).
Sideburns were measured....remember an MS removed because it was 1/4 inch too long...I wonder what scripture defines the length of a sideburn.
