While things like you mentioned can be fun, we need to keep in mind that a 'Congregation picnic' is not a meeting. It is a time to enjoy food, association and relax. I have been to some gatherings that made people feel uneasy because all of the activities made it feel like Q&A meeting parts and, since people hadn't come to the gathering to be quizzed, many left as soon as the food was served. Things like having live music - it can be a mixture of theocratic and secular music - can be fun. Likewise, physical games like horseshoes, cornhole, darts and the like help the older ones feel welcome since they can't play football or other high-energy activities. Having a Bible themes skit, especially if done semi-satire, can be fun for those in the skit as well as the audience.

The price of gold has dropped recently, falling to around $4,099 per ounce after retreating significantly from its record highs. Prices have tumbled roughly 10% over the past month as a global tech selloff, a stronger dollar, and hawkish Federal Reserve interest rate expectations have pressured the precious metal. Despite short-term volatility and recent selloffs, gold is still up roughly 23% compared to this time last year. Many long-term investors view dips as opportunities to accumulate more, noting gold's historical role as a store of value. Analysts point out that despite near-term pressure; structural drivers such as central bank reserve diversification and high global debt continue to support a strategic case for holding gold.

Gold is expected to find a strong price floor between $3,800 and $4,000 per ounce. While spot gold recently dipped below the critical $4,000 threshold to touch a seven-month low, market experts view this as a short-term, policy-driven correction rather than a permanent crash.

I have a few news songs: I spend quite a bit of time on the road. In addition to my theocratic things, I also listen to audiobooks I get from our Public Library. This song is about listening to audiobooks. Audiobooks Carry Me Away We rescued four kittens and the momma cat from behind one of the Walmart's my daughter services. This is a tribute to the kittens (BTW - the kittens do look like the ones in the pictures and that is their names) Four Little Kittens Have you ever watched a TV program that relaxes you? It was found that, during Covid and the lockdown, many people did just that. One of the programs that they watched was Bob Ross's "Joy of Painting". This is about watching him.

How about an ad promoting bringing back actual bookmarks for use in physical books. These bookmarks would be scripture themed and intended to use in a paper Bible. The ad would show various ages and demographics of people happily using these bookmarks to mark their favorite scripture. It would be narrated by Morgan Freeman.

So, is thread about having ads on jw.org and/or JW Broadcasting for products ... or is it about having ads on other media, like TV or radio, that promote the JW Organization ...

I haven't played cornhole but have watched some of The American Cornhole League (ACL)competitions when I found them on TV. Some things I noted, while the goal is to get your beanbag in the hole, sometimes it is better to have it stop short of the hole to block the other player. If they knock your beanbag in, it still counts for you. I also noticed that the players usually bounce and flip the beanbag in their hand to 'loosen it up' before they toss it. Hope this helps.
