i know it has been talked about before, but does anyone have information as to when jw started banning beards.

my wife is telling me that it started in the 60/70's because of the hippies, but i know i read somewhere on here that it was much earlier.. .

I knew an ELder in Seattle that wore a beard it became a controversy a few years back he shaved it so as not to stumble others. One of my best friends an Elder in a Death congregation from the big city's PO sported a beard.

Beards are more comman were I live and not so frowned on.

Sam87 we come from two different worlds. I am glad you live were you live. Keep your no gun owners laws that has made your nation a much more violent place to live. The criminal is more like to have a weapon than your law abiding citizens are. which has made your crime rate that involve gun up, up, up.

i had a very hard time accepting what i have learned about her.

I have had read many that claim there is no prove scientifically but that is not the case skeptics need to only read this link http://www.csicop.org/si/9603/claims.html

Here is part of the link:

Most of these purveyors of psychic myths should not be taken seriously. However, when one of the persons making extreme claims is Jessica Utts, who is a professor of statistics at the University of California at Davis, this is another matter. Utts has impressive credentials and she marshals the evidence for her case in an effective way. So it is important to look at the basis for what I believe are extreme claims, even for a parapsychologist. Here is what Utts writes in her report on the Stargate program: Using the standards applied to any other area of science, it is concluded that psychic functioning has been well established. The statistical results of the studies examined are far beyond what is expected by chance

i can not remember anything in the bible, that said the book of revelations would be the end of god's word to man.

at the same time, i know there are many parts to the accounts in the bible, that were not put in or are not accepted as inspired by god.

with this in mind, what if your morning started like this;.

Never was a ban every congregation decides if they are OK. We had several ELders that kept them on during the winter and not one congregation that I am aware of banned the ELders with beard from give public talks in their congregations. With the said they could not have a part on stage at an Assembly with them on so one ELder that gave talks at the Assemblies would always shave before his talks. A congregation 6O miles away had at one time over 10 brothers with beard.

Beards are totally up to the local area look it up. But the Society frowns on them.
