Around 45 ! <| sep |> I got 2 x 0 , 5 controller atm . Found that ps 4 controllers doesn ' t respond well to concrete . <| sep |> I posted this the day that WT was covered . It references a direct quote from someone on the writing committee . Is amazing how much time the higher ups waste on this . Good luck dealing with those folks in your area . ' I recorded the WT discussion this morning from a KH in the Western US . I don ' t really want to post the audio don ' t want to identify myself , but here is a transcript with a couple names omitted . This is a word for word transcript from an elder in this particular hall I won ' t put the lumbersexual comment from the sister right before this comment , hahah ! I might break the 30 second rule . We had Brother H $% out , and we know he works out at the writing department out at Bethel so I took the opportunity to ask him this question and a . the results . I asked him if there was anyone back at Bethel wearing a beard and he said ' Absolutely not . ' In fact , he said , and I wanted to quote this so nobody takes this out of context , ' That this paragraph in the Watchtower only reiterated the Faithful Slave ' s position on this subject that it has had for many , many years . Nothing has changed in the United States . ' And then he also mentioned Brother Lett ' s comment that kind of clarified that in the monthly broadcast and he said , ' Why would a brother or a spiritual man do something that might stumble someone or detract from giving glory to Jehovah ? ' And so , we ' ve , we ' ve seen some brothers growing beards in this area . in our local California area , and right now brothers will not be used on a Circuit Assembly stage if they have a beard . Brothers have lost privileges in the LDC for growing a beard and not wanting to shave it off . And so right now nothing has changed . The custom in this country is not dictated by wearing a beard or not . There is a country that he mentioned . I can ' t remember the name S % might remember that . But he real quickly brought that country out and said ' Yes , in that country . their custom . their culture does allow for wearing a beard ', but it has not changed anything in this country .
