    Tyrant Surveillance

    That didn't make much sense. Can yo explain? When I said "I assume" about Denmark and Sweden, then it is not totally without reason. I read Swedish news regularly. I do not follow Danish news on a daily basis, but I know the country well. So, I have a fairly good understanding of how those...

    Tyrant Surveillance

    The reason why Norway has ended Covid restrictions is because almost every adult has been vaccinated and lots of teenagers as well. There is hardly any resistance to vaccines in Norway. Probably because Norway has a highly educated population. I assume the same reasons apply for Sweden and Denmark

    Dormition of the Theotokos (Aug 15)

    This is not correct. The Church's own website even says: Even during the Norway's political union with Sweden, the Church of Norway was not much influenced by the Churhc of Sweden ("i løpet av de neste hundre år med svensk-norsk union ble ikke Den norske kirke i særlig grad ble påvirket av Den...

    Please help to ignite the Great Re-Awakening in Europe

    This option is still available. It is only the UK that is no longer part of it. But if you get a residence permit in one EU country, then you can still move freely to any EU/EEA country. It is just that the UK has disconnected themselves from this set-up. Most other countries in Europe still...

    There is no state church in Norway anymore. It used to be - but no longer. The former state chuch is now in transition. There are plenty of free churches in Norway - every town has a fair selection of them. Main denominations of the free churches are Pentecostal, Lutheran and Congregational...

    An Olympics news story that may unify liberals and Christians:

    We had consistently 25 to 30 degrees in Oslo in July. The sun is up 20 hours per day, and it never really gets dark even in the middle of the night

    Imperial Measurements in the U.K.

    They switched from left to right. I guess they just wanted to get things right :) On a more serious note: All countries around Sweden were driving on the right side of the road. There is a lot of traffic crossing the border from Norway, Finland and Denmark, and I guess it would just be easier...

    Please help to ignite the Great Re-Awakening in Europe

    The rules for getting a citizenship varies from one country to the next. So, you need to check the rules specific to whichever country you think you can get a citizenship in. Be aware that in some countries - like Germany - you will have to renounce your US citizenship in order to become a...

    Imperial Measurements in the U.K.

    It was Sweden who did it. But yes, they did it over-night. It is one of my early child-hood memories: Crossing the border from Norway into Sweden and my dad had to take the car to the other side of the road. The roads were like an X at the border
