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.

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.
