The Jonas Brothers vow to remain ‘virgins’ till marriage
Posted on February 22nd, 2008 by Hot Momma
The Jonas Brothers just might become the biggest teen band in the country this year. Coming off a great 2007, starring as the opening act on the national Hannah Montana tour, but this year could be bigger. The Jonas Brothers have a TV movie waiting for release called, Camp Rock, which will air on the Disney Channel in June. Their new album comes out on July 8, and they’ll soon get back to work on J.O.N.A.S., a Monkees-like TV series with a bubblegum-as-espionage premise. “It’s an acronym for Junior Operatives Networking As Spies,” Joe says. “We are secret agents, and our cover is that we’re a band.”
But the teen sensations have vowed to stay away from sex until they’re married. The brothers wear purity rings as “promises to ourselves and to God that we’ll stay pure till marriage,” 18-year-old Joe tells Details magazine in their March issue.
While Nick concedes that “screaming girls are awesome,” he insists that “we always kind of stand for being a role model and trying to make a difference, and I think this” (meaning the decision to wear the purity rings) “is just one of our ways of kind of like being different than everybody else out there.”
“I got mine made at Disney World,” Nick, 15 adds. “It’s pretty awesome.”
Joe, 18, has a silver ring adorned with a cross. “It actually ripped apart a little bit, just on the bottom, here, but I didn’t want to get a new one, because this one means so much to me,” he says.
Oldest brother Kevin, 20, has a ring from Tiffany’s. “It’s pretty rock and roll,” Kevin enthuses. “It’s getting banged up a little bit because of the guitar.”
The purity rings have become a sensitive topic, with bloggers and tabloids taken to speculating about just how long those chastity vows will hold. But youngest brother Kevin says inspite of the doubts of others the brothers are sticking to their vows:
“Oh, yeah, that’s on a daily basis. People write that it’s not true, that we’re taking pictures with girls. Of course we take pictures with girls! They’re our fans. I had a ring before this one, and I lost it in a wave pool on vacation”—at Atlantis, the deluxe, family-friendly resort in the Bahamas—”and I didn’t have a ring on for, like, two, three weeks, and someone took a picture of me and then it was a huge rumor on the Internet.”
I love them and just because they have rings does not mean they are gay.
I [love] them….I think that they will evnentually help others to vow this too……i think they are GREAT role models.They have made the right choice…..i am not goin to saty pure until i am married too….i think it ios good for you to vow something like that…..worry about that after your dreams and friends…….It says in the Bible to not have sex before marraige…..so thats what people should do!
Ateen becomes pregnant out of wed lock and the world looks down on her. Young men vow to do the right thing and people make fun of them. I think the Jonas Brothers are true inspirations and great role models for people young and old.
Way to keep your standards!!!!
