Not welcome in church

A young couple wanted to join the church, the priest 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 priest 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 priest 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 priest 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 priest 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 at
Homebase, either.’
