A young couple wanted to join the church, the pastor told them, 'We have
a special requirement for new member couples. You must abstain from sex
for one whole month.'
The couple agreed, but 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 was 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 I just had my way with her
right then and there. It was lustful, loud, passionate sex. It lasted
for over an hour and when we were done we were both drenched in sweat,' admitted the man, shamefacedly.
The pastor lowered his head and said sternly, 'You understand this means
you will not be welcome in our church.'
'We know.' said the young man, hanging his head, 'We're not welcome in
B&Q either.'
