Either way mentally indoctrinated JWS will shun, disrespect or demean anyone they know who left the organization and this can vary to the slight to the extreme.
These occurrences are well documented here and other Web forums .

So we can see that the leaders of the JWS had no right or business to tell men they cant wear a beard from a biblical standpoint.
It is god's creation after all and to degrade his creation is is being unrighteous.
The bible does give instructions how men are to look with the sides of their heads uncut.
