even if they didnt have the rings it wouldnt matter. there are actually some guys out there where sex isnt their main priority in life. just because they have the rings dont mean that once they come off thats whats on their mind. the rings dont define them.

I know the rings don't define their entire personalities but they are wearing the rings out of religious reasons which in most peoples cases does define them. I was just wondering if the guys feel that once the rings are removed, if the rings are removed before marriage, than they won't be closer to God in their opinion. And by saying the rings come off I obviously don't mean that in the literal sense, it could be another Brittany Spears situation where she claimed she was a virgin out of religious convictions in order to fit a mold that she and her managers felt was what her "audience" would react best to. Just like the Jonas Brothers, though I personally believe they are very religious and nice fellas and I don't think they'll ever shave their heads out of fear of drug testing. But have any of the other fans questioned what the Jonas Brothers are? Are they really these type of guys or are they the concoction of their parents' religious backround and the tyrant company known as Disney? Have the guys ever thought to look beyond their good ol' boys with a rocker twist attitude and form something that their younger core audience can look at as a representation of what is to come of America and the world in the aspect moving forward into more liberal and open views of religion and culture? We have all seen this type of "just an average girl/boy with no problems but those within the bounds of Disney" before. Look where that has led us. Jamie Lynn is pregnant, Lindsay is a rehab alumni, Brittany doesn't know what's going on half the time, Shia is being arrested over and over and recently poor Miley has had photos crop up everywhere. Maybe all we need are a few teens to start acting like teens in public and stop putting up these conservative walls of who they think pre-teens and teens are so everyone stops having to send out their talking heads everytime a tween star messes up.

no the rings do not define them. they dont wear their rings all the time. kevin takes his off sometimes to play the guitar at times. and its not a definition of who they are. its just a reminder. it doesnt mean "oh im gonna take if off today and not be close with god today....i'll do that tomorrow", its just a reminder of their promise.

um i have no clue really what you just said. it was like rambling. but um, why compare JB to every body out there. i have never understood that. why should everyone be compared to people who are obviously so not alike. people compare miley and demi all the time. miley is not demi so why compare them. why would u compare Jb to britney and jamie lynn they are no way alike.

and about the whole teens act like teens. how are teens suppose to act. i thought JB were acting like themselves. just because they were brought up right to treat people with respect and not go off acting up doesnt mean their not acting like teens. joe and nick are still teens, kevin is a adult. they can act anyway they want.

their rings isnt even a situation. thats their business and people should leave it alone. they put their whole lives out in the open they can atleast have that little bit of provacy in their lives.  it shouldnt matter their views on life. (great...i dont even know wat i said now lol)

"Are they really these type of guys or are they the concoction of their parents' religious backround and the tyrant company known as Disney?"

that actually could be a valid question. i'm not the kind to rule out stuff just because "they're the Jonas Brothers." But I will say that they pretty much defined themselves even before getting into the Disney flow. I mean just look at nick's solo album. i mean, i graduated from a christian high school, and i'll be the first to say some of those guys ha umm didn't exactly go the straight-and-narrow. i think they are doing they're best and have the best of intentions - by no means do i expect perfection.

Have the guys ever thought to look beyond their good ol' boys with a rocker twist attitude and form something that their younger core audience can look at as a representation of what is to come of America and the world in the aspect moving forward into more liberal and open views of religion and culture?

i'm not really sure what you meant, but i think they're religious views are pretty set. i'm sure most of their viewpoints come from the bible and you can't really change that.

Maybe all we need are a few teens to start acting like teens in public and stop putting up these conservative walls of who they think pre-teens and teens are so everyone stops having to send out their talking heads everytime a tween star messes up.

sooo more teens should start "messing" up to make it more ok for tween stars?

im not attacking you or anything, just conversation. : ]

pearl i honestly dont think you were right to compare them to all the other teen stars that have messed up recently because they were raised different from them just like you were probably raised different from me...i just want you to remember that they made this promise before they were really famous and that they dont go around showing them off like britney spears

i dont want to start anything but this was just my opinion and i know you have different opinions from me but i just wanted to tell you what i thought
