Although it's now too late---> STOCKTON RUSH could've built the Titan similar to The Flying Sub as shown/used in "Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea" TV series (broadcasted on ABCTV Network in the 1960s). I'm referring to that because although this item is a fictional one, the design and parameters of this vessel are one, IMPHO, which looked much more well-built/indestructible and first plus foremost SAFE! In fact, Rush--instead of RUSHING in respect to design and construction--could've and should've consulted submersible experts such as JAMES CAMERON plus other submariners. Since he wanted to take the VERY CHEAP way out, he forfeited his own life and those of the passengers. My heart really goes out to 19-year-old Suleman Dawood, who had strong misgivings about accompanying his father on this ill-fated expedition in the first place. š„šš¼

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?

@TonusOH=> Yes! CEO Stockton Rush was in fact the PILOT in this expedition. As a matter of fact, he spoke about the operations of this "creation" in prior interviews:

Just because someone is rich, doesn't mean they are wise or sensible
To Simon==> I TOTALLY agree with you! In fact, I discovered this interesting (if you can call it that) tidbit earlier today:

Speaking about people who are very foolish!

Although these men had paid $250,000.00 to be passengers on here, my question is this==> Didnāt they survey the mini-sub BEFORE they paid their fee?
Also, within surveying the vehicle, they can check to see if it was: (a) Comfortable [to sit or see if there is enough legroom for each passenger], (b) Suitable Restroom Facilities [in the event that Nature calls, they canāwithout discomfort and embarrassmentāmanage themselves in this area], (c) Food and Beverage [ensure that there is a substantial amount of these on hand for the duration of the trip], and (d) Look Out Area [more than the small window provided for all paying travelers to actually view the R.M.S.].
IMPHO, this corporation more than likely GYPPED these people! Besides these 4 folks diving in a proverbial āsardine canā with a small timeframe for oxygen allowance, it seems as if something happenedāand it has undoubtedly happenedāA REAL RESCUE CONTINGENCY PLAN to be put into full effect force. The CEO, regardless of NDAs or some other contracts signed by the now victimsāwill be looking forward to being litigated by someoneās family members/loved ones in the nearest future! Just. My. Observations.

The cultporation has and still is teetering on the heels of other high-control group-religions (FLDS, factions of Islam, etc.) where creativity and personal expression are outlawed. To show that it was senseless was that when Jaracz (of GB1.0) didn't want the Bethellite sisters (full-time and commuter) to wear jeans or denim pants while working particular jobs where PANTS were apropos/needed to be worn. The leadership's mindsets were TOTALLY back in the DARK AGES, to say the least! š¤¦āāļøš«

Also, the inside passenger capacity is also in question:
https://www.npr.org/2023/06/20/1183273102/titan-missing-sub-titanic-rescue-oceangate
Not only the number of people, but the amount of food and beverages ("sandwiches and water") plus the very small restroom facilities are not conducive for even the short-term ("6 to 8-hour tour") ride to the R.M.S. I betcha this whole arrangement in very close quarters adds to the full uncomfortability in addition to the very little oxygen (which is now harder to maintain) they have to use within this extremely dire situation! šš«

It's almost as if these people have a FASCINATION with those things/places (Titanic, Everest, Outer Space, etc.) and would like to "be in the thick" of it. So, they have used their resources (money, connections, time, etc.) to make their endeavors---probably not thinking about the risks to life and/or limb! š

The same way the ''supplied lunches'' went by the wayside. You have to bring your own lunch. The Borg realizing this was more inconvenient and cumbersome having to bring one's own lunch.
In reference to the above factor and the hardships of traveling long distances, WT doesn't really GIVE A DAMN about the inconveniences all of this has caused and is still causing its members. It's as if they WANT TO SEE THEM SUFFER. Hopefully, because of this SELFISH/HATEFUL MINDSET, many will start using some CRITICAL THINKING skills, discover TTATT and LEAVE LIKE HELL!

The Last Days of a Pioneer
by madisoncembre ini am starting a new topic since this blog entry is about something different.. i have posted before about my recent split with the jws.
no exit comes out of nowhere and there were seeds planted long before this.
i have never enjoyed field service.

CONGRATULATIONS on and for your decision to leave off this "privilege of service"! I can concur with all of the other posters when they say that they HATE field circus. I can agree, not only because of annoying people--especially if these persons are not interested in this organization's rhetoric-propaganda--but also the MONSTER DOGS, who are trained to attack anyone who they deem is a threat to their owners. WT, for decades, didn't and still doesn't GIVE A DAMN about the wellbeing and safety of their members. In actuality, D2D is not a "soundness of mind" activity, anyways! š¤¦āāļø

(Family and I streamed it since wife is not well).
@XBEHERE=> So, this RC can be streamed? The reason for my asking is that one of my now PIMQ relatives' who elduhs in her cong strongly advised the dubs that they MUST attend IN PERSON, regardless of their own personal situations/circumstances; no ZOOM provisions will be made.
If you have the streaming info, could you please share it? I would appreciate it.
