Let me get this straight MJ would wear a disguise to hand out Jehovah Witness mags?..

We're not talking about facial hair in general, we're talking about beards.

To be straight honest, i never remember a brother having a real unkempt beard, but I do remember mustaches more and a beard here and there.

The beard thing is a major REACH, so why shouldn't I post some other inconsequential similarity?

As much as a reach as claiming something is not allowed and providing 0 evidence to prove it? Not even scripture or even archaic reasoning?

Even the anti-witnesspedia JW Facts couldn't find a conclusive reason to why beards are not allowed.

I was in the religion most my child life, and you're a dumbass.

Many brothers had beards/mustaches.

shyt like this always cracks me up JW misinfo is the best

I'm a dumbass because I had a different life experience than you? I went to conventions in arenas with thousands of brothers there and I NEVER seen a brother with a beard/goatee, same goes for regular meetings.

If your dumbass read my first post correctly on the subject, I said JW was allowed to have mustaches, as I seen plenty of brothers rocking those, just that beards/goatees seem to be a no no as I never seen a brother with one of those hair styles, EVER.

That's good that they can't find any conclusive reason as to why they're not allowed.
And it's a good thing you found that page so that I didn't have to google and find that or any other pages like it. Bottom line is that an environment is created where a beard is not happening due to it simply being understood by everyone.
Did you even read that link?

Yes, I suppose it's 2 different opinions. You see it as an environment understood by everyone. I see it as a stigma.

Still, while uncommon in the States I see no logical or scriptural reason not a wear a beard .

The jehovas witness movement was really big in gary then for some reason

Imo, only 7th day adventist, snake-handling-baptists, and mormons are as crazy

Indeed.

Interesting fact concerning the Jehovah's Witness. Their founder (Charles Taze Russell) was a former Seventh Day Adventist, which is why both denominations have similar doctrines. Both also derive many of their teachings from William Miller, who was a freemason (he later tried to "denounce" his affiliation). Charles Taze Russel and Ellen G White (Founder of the SDA) have Masonic imagery at their gravesites. Both SDA and JW have a governing body of "elders" who work in secrecy.

Things that make you go hmm
