A BEARD PREDICTION FOR 2024:
I wonder how long before the fighting starts?
A Brother loses privileges because his beard looks scruffy, spotty. He is counseled that a beard may not be dignified FOR HIM. The C.O. has to get involved.
A Brother is counseled that his beard looks like a Mullah. He loses privileges. The C.O. has to get involved.
A Brother decides NOT to grow a beard because he does not agree that it is for Christians (he is 'Old School'). He lets it slip that he does not agree. He is called before a JC for disagreeing with the GB and DF'd. He is retained on appeal, but leaves anyway, writes a book, gains a significant following of JWs who leave the organization in protest.
