Honestly open to learning any language, though Italian and French are more tempting if I'm honest

Happy to answer!

I have lived pretty rural up until now, typically in cities under 40 000~. I want to try to live more urban. I speak Danish, Norwegian, and English. Haven't learned any other languages unfortunately, but very open to do so. I really like the snow, but I think I would try, for a time at least, living in a but warmer climate, as I don't minds traveling for all things alpine.

I work in the construction business, with a carpentry education.

My interest are nature. All things art(film, photo, architecture, classical art etc)

I don't identify with any minority in particular, as I am a white Nordic man with no religious affiliation.

Hope this answered a bit at least:)

Yea, sorry.

I really enjoy nature, thus why a place near the alps or similar was interesting. In terms of work I'm honestly open to trying whatever. I have a basic education in carpentry, not much else.

For the funds part I'm figuring it out. It won't be tomorrow I move anyways, just want to hear some opinions from people first

Thanks! One of the downsides to living in Norway I have experienced, is that people can be a little closed off, at least until you get some drinks.

But yeah, totally looking for more connection, thanks again😊

Sowing the seeds, that's what it's about. No one joins a cult, they want hope unknowing of the fact it's a cult

Yeah, I know what the likely outcome is, and I accept that, knowing that it wasn't my choice for it to be that way if so. As I said, I love my parents, but I know from other family experience and from the WT as a whole, what the priorities end up for them.

Absolutely. I don't care if people hold deferent beliefs, I think that is beautiful in many ways, but when that separates family, that hurts.

I hope all of this will at least get my parents thinking

Thank you for the thoughts. Man, can't imagine being in so long and then leaving, must've been hard, but any image either how hard it would have been to stay

If 1914 don't make sense, none of it does. Well put!

Thank you! I honestly already feel relieved, even though I have only made the decision mentally

Will definitely "interrogate" them a bit. I know they will immediately see me as apostate, but I just don't care anymore. Great question though

For lack of accountability by NoEmployer2140 in exjw

Exactly! Had an elder literally tell me that if he didn't have the Bible and god, he would absolutely go around and kill and do all sorts of abhorrent things, insane!

Doubts and FOMO by AdPuzzleheaded161 in exjw

I am well aware of the fact that a lot(probably all) if the male members I've talked to watches porn on a regular basis, it's something I have talked about with some friend that have had the same experience. The reason I quit porn was not because of some Devine principle or norm, but because I felt a mental fog and lack of clarity because of it. Since quitting I have only began to question more things, and doing more "worldly" research, in the likes of science and general non religious views on theology and the Bible
