It varies from congregation to congregation. And they weren't permitted on the Dublin Bethel construction site.
Actually they were eventually. It was bought to the notice of the Branch that one person who they had asked to co-ordinate the work-teams actually had a beard but was not himself allowed to work on the Site. Even WTS Management could see the embarrassing irony in that scenario and rescinded their original US based edict. HS
if you are old and have a beard, are an elder or something, then it'll slide, but if you're a young guy and you grow a goatee, well, that is just 'questionable' and you would be 'frowned' on.
Is there any reasonable, rational explanation as to why they frown on beards, I mean, it seems totalitarian and excessively controlling, what is the issue regarding beards? They were the norm in scripture. Why the need to control nearly every aspect of our lives?
