Couples joining a church. . .
There are three couples joining a church. The pastor meets with the three couples together and talks about what it means to be a part of his congregation. After their meeting, there is one request made of the couples by the pastor. They need to abstain from sex for one week. This will show their dedication and commitment to their decision. The pastor sets up a meeting for one week after the first. Here's what happens.
The first couple, married 14 years, are faced with the question: "Did you abstain from sex for the full week?"
The couple is much in love, but their answer is "yes."
"Welcome to our church." the pastor says.
The second couple had been married 6 years. They face the same question. They are happy and in love too, and their answer is also yes.
"Welcome to our church." is the response.
The third couple is a newlywed couple. They are also asked the same question.
The husband answers, "Well, the first day was tough. The second day was extremely tough. The third day though, my wife was wearing a mini-skirt, bent over to pick up a sack of potatoes, and I lost control and we had sex right then and there."
"I'm very sorry," the pastor says, "You're not welcome in our church."
"That's okay" says the man. "We're not welcome in the grocery store either."
