A 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,"
advised the pastor.
"We know," assented the young man, hanging his head.
"We're not welcome at Homebase either."
cleaner that one!
