Beards Part 1.

So yesterday my friend Marcus McBride was attacked randomly by some pure fannies on facebook for having a beard. This is how the transcript went. Going from a normal comment as his status to him being sent to hell and into drugs for having a beard.


Marcus McBride Is it sad that I don't care about school at all at this point!?! This semester is one big wash!

Marcus McBride Immanuel, no where does it say that ones rightousness is tied to ones beard, or facial hair. It does say, however, in the scriptures jude not, lest ye be judged. I have spoke with Stake and Temple Presidents and they say me having a beard is fine and in no way a sin or negative impact on my spiritual growth. Thanks for your concern though.

Immanuel Corbett For the strength of youth...
When you are well groomed and modestly dressed, you invite the companionship of the Spirit and can exercise a good influence on thosearound you.

Marcus we are representatives of the lord and we must be well groomed and wearing the lords attire. The brethren are the ultimate example of this.

Luke Garroway In the minds of most people at this time, the beard and long hair are associated with protest, revolution, and rebellion against authority. They are also symbols of the hippie and drug culture. Persons who wear beards or long hair, whether they desire it or not, may identify themselves with or emulate and honor the drug culture or the extreme practices of those who have made slovenly appearance a badge of protest and dissent. In addition, unkemptness—which is often (though not always) associated with beards and long hair—is a mark of indifference toward the best in life. As Elder Sterling W. Sill has observed:

“A let-down in personal appearance has far more than physical significance, for when ugliness gets its roots into one part of our lives it may soon spread to every other part!

Vikki Miller Dear Luke Immanuel and Jerk Wilde. I seriously SERIOUSLY hope that all of you have been joking when judging my super best friend. If you haven't then I seriously pity you all, because there is nothing more damning than judging someone else. There's also nothing more off-putting, utterly pathetic, arrogant, puffed-up, and negative in the church than when members turn against members.

The three of you should look in the mirror and take the mote out your own eye and stop bullying people on facebook. Seriously. And why are you being so cowardice and doing attacking someone amazing, righteous and holy in an anonymous manner. If you were at all to know Marcus, take the time to actually discuss doctrines of the church you would realise that he has more spirituality than most of the people I'm sure you guys know.

So seriously. Stop being so pathetic and blatantly bullying people online for no reason at all.

Losers

Vikki Miller oh my gosh.

A big PS to the three of you.

I just looked at all of your profile pictures, respectively, and I've just realised why you're totally harassing my friend.

None of you have actually passed puberty yet and can actually grow beards.

Nevermind. I'm sure it will happen soon for you all. I'm rooting for you.

Lindsay Nicole Koehler I've told you before, Marcus. Your beard is good. I love it. Don't listen to these crazies who hate beards! They are probably just SO envious because their faces are cold this winter...I'm jealous and I'm TOTALLY with Antoinette on this one!
