Goldie I totally understand. I am feeling the same totally tired out and it is not all because of the shoots I took or my heart issues.That's me! Totally burned out with life. Not interested in doing anything. Just tired
I have to tell you, I have not heard of this new light about beard's. In any Cong I've been in (4) it has always been known beard's were not acceptable.What?! Watchtower have had “new light” on beard growth?! Jehovah leaves no stone unturned when it comes to detail. We can put our trust in his channel of our governing body.
I dont like facial hair on a man, blahh but I agree. If a man is going to grow a beard make sure it's a full beard not this patchy grossness on your faceMy brother and I had a quick word about beards today and we both agreed that if you still have one of those middle of puberty looking beards in your 20s or 30s that you should probably just shave. I know that might sound cold but those sparse beards that never fill in make me feel ill to see. My brother had full red facial hair at 15. My brother grew a thicker beard than most 30 year olds. Mine took a few years longer but by the time I was in boot camp I was told to shave twice a day.

By the way, I don't mean to offend. I was just having some fun at your expense. Those of you who were blessed with less hair than the rest of us who wish we were less hairy. My toes cry out from a jungle of hirsuteness and confusion. Seriously, who needed hair on their toes? God loves hair so he made it. Ladies, think twice before grabbing that razor. Not to be indecent but maybe, God knows what he's doing. If in fact Jehovah creates something, doesn't it feel odd to be contrary to that? I won't say any more but we live in a world that has been twisted away from what our Creator had designed. Doesn't that make you even more angry against Satan? We live in a world in which Jehovah has accepted some losses. At which point do we pull the chord and stop the merry go round? Are we not responsible for the evil that happens on Earth? It's a turning point where we realize that only God can save us but at the least, we had ought to be displaying or complaining about the wickedness on Earth and showing ourselves to be disrupted by such ways.I dont like facial hair on a man, blahh but I agree.

There, I said it
My wife does my hair styling. We converted a second hand jumbo-jet engine into a hair dryer. It’s a bit pricey on the electric but gives an excellent blow-dry. She did my face-lift too and it only cost me $9.50c. (She’s a veterinary technician).You look great. Love the color.
BTD you are certifiable. Now go take your meds and lay down.My wife does my hair styling. We converted a second hand jumbo-jet engine into a hair dryer.

Well most folks a like cardboard cutouts. There's no substance to them.It amazes me how when people mass together how they copy each other. At work they are all influenced having tattoos. Nothing against them, but they seem to follow each others pattern of behaviour, instead of thinking what it would look like when they get older. The majority of them now roll their own cigarettes. Follow the trend. I'm glad I'm getting older and more comfortable in what I wear and my beliefs. Just dont like that my body is starting to ache. You can understand why they want Unity at the Kingdom Hall, it's easy to keep them in check.
I am from Argentina, and my problem with the organization begins precisely with this issue. I started studying in 2013, I was baptized in 2014, and in 2016 I started wearing a beard. They immediately took away functions of the service such as passing microphones, public reading, giving speeches, no longer conducting the exits to the territory, etc. It was like a strong censorship. But what finally convinced me of his authoritarianism was in a meeting we had for this reason. 3 elders appeared in front of me with Bibles and watchtowers, for my part I presented myself with my Bible. They cited the example of Paul and consciences and did their monologue, and when I had my turn, I refuted such a monologue because there is nothing in the scriptures that prohibits a neat grooming with a beard except that it can for a specific cause of someone weak stumbling. which in this case was not such, there is also a yearbook from the 40's where shaving began on a whim of Rutherford when a friend of Russell's surname "Balzereit" asked Rutherford to buy a certain object to preach the good news and Rutherford accepted this suggestion/request but with one condition: That they shave their beards for fear that they would imitate Russell, the reason was valid and coherent, but at this time it is no longer necessary because nobody wears a beard to imitate Russell. After this they limited themselves to responding: "Look, we are not interested in what you say, we make the decisions here whether you like it or not", and they did so with many more cases in other situations, they have even told another brother: "Yes You don't like the decision, there you have the exit door" and from that day that brother did not attend anymore, and neither did part of his family.Bueno, Lady Blue, si todos me vieran, dirían ¡QUÉ! ¡ESPERAR! Llevo un estilo de pelo corto muy muy muy corto. SOLO UNAS POCAS hermanas hacen comentarios y yo digo
POR QUÉ ESTÁS EN MI NEGOCIO. En serio
.
Not one elder etc. has said one single word about my almost bald head long dresses, boots or flat shoes and earrings. But I betcha they are like
Lord have mercy! No problems when I went door to door EVER.
I don't like hair. I go to barber every two or three weeks
Forgot to say when husband was alive he had no problem with my appearance. He dressed up. I dressed down whateva
Oh well.
You are correct Paul - The Watchtower is a very authoritarian high control group , the same thing has happened to many men over the years when wearing even the shortest & neatest beard, it happened to me as well . ( It's really hard to believe that this still goes on after all these years).I am from Argentina, and my problem with the organization begins precisely with this issue.

These situations, and also the same dictatorial spirit in that they recommend having a good personal study, but when you discover contradictions and want to talk about them they won't let you, led me to conclude not to attend anymore, and since I found out about this site Robert back in 2019 I found a refined truth and got an answer to many things that came to my mind and made me anxious to know them, and the monotonous and boring watchtowers could not satisfy or answer. Today I may be at fault for not regularly attending meetings or preaching from house to house, but I am convinced by various sensations that I have had in recent times, that Jehovah is preparing us for something stronger, to endure more complicated situations to come. I will return when the terror of the system opens the eyes of any remnant who wants to listen, now it is a waste of time and energy.
