A young newlywed couple wanted to join a church. The pastor told them,
"We have special requirements for new parishioners. You must abstain
from sex for one whole month."
The couple agreed and after two-and-a-half weeks returned to the Church.
When the Pastor ushered them into his office, the wife was crying and
the husband obviously very depressed. You are back so soon... Is there a
problem?" the pastor inquired. "We are terribly ashamed to admit that we
did not manage to abstain from sex for the required month...." the
young man replied sadly. The pastor asked him what happened. Well, the first
week was difficult.... However, we managed to abstain through sheer will power.
The second week was terrible, but with the use of prayer, we
managed to abstain." "However, the third week was unbearable. We tried
cold showers, prayer, reading from the Bible... anything to keep our
minds off carnal thoughts.
One afternoon, my wife reached for a can of paint and dropped it. When
she bent over to pick it up, I was overcome with lust and had my way
with her right then and there." admitted the man, shamefacedly.
"You understand this means you will not be welcome in our church," stated the
pastor.
"We know." said the young man, hanging his head, ......
"We're not welcome at Home Depot either."
