Romans who converted probably had no beards. Are talking about prophets and "bible" writers??

The WTBTS condemns homos and the "Satanic" world for feminizing men, yet they forbid a manly beard on the grounds that it may be offensive. WTF?!?! They go further by figuratively castrating the young men by forbidding "violent" sports from an early age. Just watch kids play, especially boys. If it's sharp and looks like you can hit something with it, then something is gonna get wacked.
They do this on their own. It's in their nature. They must be consciously wussified by their parents or teachers. Otherwise, you get a beard growing, swaggering, beer drinking, sword swinging guy who likes to pick up heavy things when he's not plundering.

Well I went to my meeting today with 1 day's growth and was asked by two elders if I'm growing a beard. I'm running a little experiment to see what the response will be for stepping out. I'm going to try to have about a days growth at as many meetings as I can. If tag doesn't yield results, I'll go further.

DATA-DOG - I don't know whether or not Gentiles grew beards. I was primarily talking about Prophets / Faithful & Righteous Observers of the Mosaic Law.
As for Gentiles, I could assume that many of them Grew Beards as well, however there is no mention in the scriptures on this.. Some feel that Gentiles were only required to follow 7 of the Mosaic Laws, it's not possible to determine from the 66 books of this was the case..
Acts 21:25 But as for the Gentiles who have believed, we have sent a letter with our judgment that they should abstain from what has been sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what has been strangled, and from sexual immorality.”

Here is an impossible question to answer.. If the entire "world" began to shave their beards, and all of them were primarily clear shaven, would JWS say that JW men should have Beards, in order to look different from "The World"?
