  now what was the deal with this one?

  my cong strictly enforced the facial hair unwritten rule.

  alot of bros starting growing soul patches, then the co cracked down on that too, no more, must be clean shaven, especially ms and elders.

  i used to go out early mornings with 2 pioneer elders, we would drive 20 miles out of the territory (a big no-no) to look for hikers to preach to lol of course there were never any hikers.

  then off to starbucks for another hour lol easy way to count 2-4 hours.

  i am chuckling as i write this, what a joke!.

Alot of Bros starting growing soul patches, then the CO cracked down on that too, no more, must be clean shaven, especially MS and elders. I remember my mother trying to explain it to my worldly father and he said "well Jesus had a beard!" I thought, good point. I never quite understood it, but followed it anyway. Can anyone shed light?
