In Holland much is allowed. Extreme clothing, shorts, all kind of beards etc, if AMIII would set his feet on the low lands he would explode 😂😂😂
Dutch people make their own rules.

Are Beards becoming more acceptable due to decline in membership?

Apparently, beard fractions are okay.

Jesus says beards on men have no place in Christian morals or values.

Talk about "straining out the gnat and gulping down the camel." It's a shame that they don't spend more time lawfully taking care of the pedophiles in their midst instead of policing facial hair.

I think there's something else to consider, maybe the brothers growing beards just don't give a sh*t any more about striving/competing/groaning after privileges. Here the elders (who are all really old) have been having a hard time getting brothers to care enough about competing for privileges. A bit of a shift, methinks, from the old days.
Once you don't care about privileges, they have much less control over you. And if you're a brother, you grow a beard! If they still want to give you a privilege, you keep the beard, and read that Watchtower
Wow....that's me in a nutshell 😋

The fact that a set up exsists where grown men are/were checked for having facial hair is just bizarre. What a horrible set up to live in.
GROWN MEN.

It's crazy to think a grown man can feel guilty just for wanting/choosing his God given right to grow a beard! It's no wonder the society's man made rules and policies are coming back to haunt them.
