Edith, Evangeline, Elaine, Ethel, Evonne, Enola, Esme, Elmira, Eileen, and Eudora. Ethan, Emanuel, Edward, Everett, Easton, Errol, Earnest, Erasmus, Ezekiel, and Ellis.
I’d add Ebony to the list, but the Kellers really can’t go with that one unless they actually adopt.

Typically, neither Mike nor Debi has ever acknowledged Shoshanna's or Gabe's divorces, although they have been backpedaling on some of their hardline stuff in recent NGJ articles.
Shoshanna's IG reel is so garbled it's hard to understand but she seems to be saying that, essentially, her divorce was good because she wanted it. This comports with the primary rule of the Pearls' teachings: Do as we say and not as we do.
Re: Jeremiah's engagement. Not surprising and also not surprising that Shoshanna seems to have memory-holed all of her advice about not getting married too young.
Jeremiah's cousin, Shalom Brand's oldest, Janelle, got married at 17 in 2022. It's what these people do.
Whoa. Since spouses now have rights, I give it 6 months to a year for a public change in the Pearl's divorce theology.

Yes it is actually . Though there are some difference in the order in which dates are written , depending upon whether it's American or British English .

I mean, we know that they are stridently anti-divorce in general terms BUT they are so two-faced that I wouldn't necessarily conclude they were anti-divorce in her situation. IOW, it's hard to know if she was going against her parents wishes or abiding by it.

Those have become rather generic among various head covering wearing Christian sects . I have come to most commonly associate this style of headwear with the Beachy Amish-Mennonites I had played volleyball with several years ago . I am still Facebook friends with one of the young women I'd met there , whom has since left the church . For reference, here is a picture of one of them playing along side me .
