The currently missing 'Titan' submarine. What do you think?
by SydBarrett inany opinions are just speculation, but my guess, being morbid, is that there was not a hull breach and implosion (although that would have been the most merciful fate for them), but instead the amateur level of building this thing meant that it lost power and communication and got itself tangled in the titanic's wreckage or is sitting on the actual seabed with no way to release ballast to resurface.
terrifying.
what's your gut feeling?

I'll be surprised if they are rescued safely.
The whole idea of extreme-risk tourism is just a bad idea. To start a business to offer to take people two miles under the ocean or far out into space is really poor judgment. They are unforgiving environments. Maybe they said the same thing 100 years ago about giving aircraft rides. Eventually the technology might catch up and it would be routinely safe, but it isn't there yet.

I did a google search for the pictured French actress and found this photo:
Admittedly a different photo shoot, hairstyle and clothing, but quite similar to the Stern photo.

I think there is a way to view a generic session (not your own assigned convention), which the OP might be referring to

Has Rutherford's 16-cylinder Cadillac been found?
by under the radar ini ran across this episode of jay leno's garage on youtube today.
all i know is it seems very similar to j f rutherford's much-vaunted 16-cylinder cadillac.
watch the episode and let us know what you think.

Good question, JFR’s may not have been a V16. The video said they made a V8 on the same body design. Even so, the image published in a WT publication during the depression says a lot about him and his sense of entitlement.
for the record, $6500 in 1930 equates to around $135,000-140,000 today. -

In the video, the owner said the car had been in NJ and NY, and he didn’t know when or how it made the way to S California. He seemed to know a bit of its history. Maybe a comment on the youtube would bring a response from a larger audience

I had a close acquaintance who was a trained artist who later went to Brooklyn Bethel art department. The way he drew images was to have a photo or other image to copy from. That is the way he got the perspective and angles right. For instance he wanted to have three deer in a mural (I was the gopher for him on the project), and all he had at hand was one photo to work from, so all three deer had the same body posture and leg positioning.
The beast and harlot image from the Revelation book is certainly original, but it is likely that a <very> similar drawing could be found from another source. -

Cool video! I really doubt it would be the same one as JFR’s , as they made lots of them and very few survived. Jay says in the video it gets 3-6 mph, and cost $6500 new in 1930 or 1932, ( both dates are given).

My old congregation is being shuttered
by RULES & REGULATIONS ini just found out from my jehovah's witness cousin that my old congregation is being shuttered due to lack of elders, less than 20 members attending, and that the congregation cannot meet their monthly expenses.. here is a congregation that was started in 1975 with less than 15 members.
it grew to 185 members in the 1990's.
the congregation grew so large that the elders decided to split the congregation in two.

In this area (rural midwest US), five congregations I know of within 50 miles of here have dissolved over the past few years and the halls sold. Two have been converted into residences, I don't know what happened to the others. The JWs have been reassigned to the nearest congregation and KH to their homes. Some have to drive about 45-50 miles to the meetings. Of course there is a lot of zooming for these ones due to the cost and trouble making the drive.
