But once the christians are "caught up" then the Holy Ghost will be also

Ok heres one of the main problems I got with that. If the Holy Ghost is withdrawn from the earth...then how will anyone be saved? If theres no Holy Ghost, theres nothing to convict your heart.
Also, Matthew 24:29-30...."Immediately AFTER the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened"..."And THEN shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven: and THEN shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with great power and glory"

Now, that reads to me like he will come after.

Matthew 24:22 "And except those days be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the ELECT'S sake those days shall be shortened"

The elect will be here. Shortened...not taken away. I just can't see it. I don't want you folks to get me wrong...I hope there is a "rapture"...who wants to be here for that...but I just can't see the Lord taking me out of here, when all throughout history Christians have been persecuted and tortured. He didnt grab them up...he protected them.
