    Ok this is kinda twisted.
    A brother in my old hall, used to always complain that he got the 'bad' Bible readings.
    For instance, he got this weeks reading - it include Jer 5:8.
    Who really wants to say that from the stage?

    I got thinking, how many times does the WTS have us read that verse when we are in Jeremiah?
    Out of the 5 times we have read Jeremiah in the last 20 years, 3 of those the WTS had some poor shmuck of a brother reading 5:8.

    I had to look that up....

    Jeremiah 5:8 (Today's New International Version)

    8 They are well-fed, lusty stallions,
    each neighing for another man's wife.

    Haha yeah, i always feel sorry for the 15/16 y/o kids that have to do those readings,

    they are so obviously uncomfortable given the environment they're in.

    (Jeremiah 5:7-8) 7 How can I forgive you for this very thing? Your own sons have left me, and they keep swearing by what is no God. And I kept satisfying them, but they continued committing adultery, and to the house of a prostitute woman they go in troops. 8 Horses seized with sexual heat, having [strong] testicles, they have become. They neigh each one to the wife of his companion.---New World Translation

    Yup, I just realized I have to read this for my assignment this week...Oh well, I won the lottery last time I read, and did "a loveable hind, and a charming mountain goat. Let her breasts intoxicate you...", had to do that with a straight face as well.

    Oh, well, I'm in middle ages, so it don't faze me none....

    When I was around 10 yrs old I had to give a talk that was pretty uncomfortable. I can't remember the book or chapters but the entire content was about excrementing and properly digging a hole and burying your excrement.

    I was working on gestures.
