Thanks for this I ' ll be sure to look out for them . <| sep |> Thank you , interesting stuff . An Elder friend of mine who was adamant to have a beard for the WTstudy , backed out of it in the last minute , but the very next day they had a elders meeting , just like yours , where basically the main thing was the beard issue . He said that he thought it ok to sport one because of the article , and after some discussions back and forth , the body decided to give it a ' ok ', so now he is on his vacation for 3 weeks , that should give him the chance to grow a nice beard . Even though he is fully in , I can tell from our discussions that he questions these ridiculous rules JW have and maybe this can be a step in the awakening process for him and others ?
