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 ushers them into his office, the
wife is 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 willpower. 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 Bunnings either."
