But can a young JW in America grow a full beard without catching flack?

These days it not really that hard being a witness.
by I believe in overlapping inif you are a true believer, then you are toast.
because you will be a slave to everything the watchtower, circuit overseers, elders, pioneers, imply.
believe me, there are not many true believers anymore, and the majority of them are old.

Nearly 500 migrant children taken from parents -- that's nothing compared to JW disfellowshipping
by FatFreek 2005 inseveral months ago the news was intense about the hundreds of families broken apart by u.s. immigration.
many children were sometimes separated by their parents, sometimes for weeks at a time.
"still separated: nearly 500 migrant children taken from their parents remain in u.s. custody” aug 31, washington post.

This touches on what a Russian Orthodox Priest assessed of the JWs and why they deserve to be persecuted; to paraphrase him, 'they combine the worst heresies confronted by the early church with life under a totalitarian Communist regime.'
That said, IMHO a Government should never crack down on a church or cult beyond liquidating its assets. Go beyond that and you give its followers the honor of martyrdom.

I'm just not into revealing personal details like before. This site isn't geared toward unbelieving spouses, and with all due respect I don't share Simon's views politically and culturally.

Inkutatash falls on this Tuesday, and it will be 2011 on the Ethiopian calendar. My church's 27 year schism is over, and so now I don't have to choose sides any more. Not going is what led me to marry the JW I'm with now. It has hurt me spiritually, and I'm not letting that happen again. I'm going with or without her!

Influence of Babylon the Great is only increasing
by Ireneus inaccording to jw teaching, babylon the great is the name for all other religions except themselves and predicted its influence over governments would wane in the last days.
yet we find just opposite happening!.
we saw russian government acting against jws, we saw president trump’s swearing in ceremony where church official had central stage ….etc.. here is another sample!

Babylon the Great is following the unlucky number of a 66 book Bible without really knowing who Athanasius and Ireneus were.

Dressed like one of the Wurzels I had on form fitting skinny stretch cordory with suspenders...not bike shorts, not meggings...oo-ar oo-ar....and I was riding a Flying Pigeon Bicycle...a Chairman Mao Black Chinese Dutchie Onesie Bike with Chrome Rod Brakes.
Tight pants Tony has no idea how hard he's making it for brothers in the developing world with that tight pants rant when you consider that not everyone in every country can afford to buy gas and friction from loose pants on a bike can hurt a man where it matters.
That's what I mean by carbon neutral. The weather was too perfect!

You don't get it. I have never been a JW, but I believe in Jah and am a serious Bible Student. I'm performing a sign by economic default. Not to humiliate anyone or any organization. I want to be with my wife, but I can't afford to spend any more resources on something I don't believe in. But I sure can afford to burn calories.
One Perfect Love for Jah shall open the door.
