Newlywed couple
Posted: Wed May 11, 2005 3:10 pm
A young newlywed couple wanted to join a Church. The Paster told the young couple, "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 was 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 abastain through sheer willpower. The second week was terrible, but with the use of willpower, prayer, reading from the Bible...even taking cold showers, we managed to abstain. However....the third week was unbearable. We simply could not stand it any longer. One afternoon, my wife reached for a can a paint and dropped it on the floor. 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.
"We are not welcome back in Home Depot either."
