Faith and the Jonas Brothers
Joanne Brokaw blogged about the Jonas Brothers’ growing commercial empire and their Christianity on Sept. 5.
Brokaw’s “Five Things I Hate About the Jonas Brothers” posting on Beliefnet.com’s Gospel Soundcheck blog, apparently drew the wrath of their many fans, who she said bombarded her with their angry responses.
In her post on Tuesday, “Five Things I Learned From Jonas Brothers’ Fans,” she shares her thoughts about fans’ displeasure.
Her musings about the Jonas Brothers’ Christianity (If you haven’t heard the latest news about the brothers and the purity rings they wear, check out Monday’s Religion and Values posting) are very interesting.
Here’s a sampling:
“And the last thing I hate is that their heart throb, teen idol status sends mixed messages about their stance on purity. I love that the guys wear purity rings and I believe they believe in what the rings stand for. But when you see them posing seductively on the cover of Rolling Stone (really, who thought that was cute?) and talking about their first kiss in Tiger Beat (or Bop or PopStar or whatever teen magazine you pick up), without an explanation of what purity really means, there’s the danger that what they share with their peers is simply a message that says, “Wear a purity ring but still be consumed with lusting after hot guys.’”
Read both her blogs by clicking on the titles above and see what you think. And look for more on the subject in The Oklahoman’s Religion Section on Saturday.
