@Lore - I agree. Anyone can pick and choose whatever vague comment they want, attach it to a random event and declare it as prophecy fulfilled. It drives me crazy!

I'd be careful divulging too much on the world wide web. They may be observing your activities.

Nowhere in the Torah, or the rest of the Hebrew scriptures for that matter, does it say anything about anyone being resurrected in three days, Messiah or not.
However, over a hundred years after Jesus lived, someone wrote down that Jesus prophesied his own resurrection by making a vague reference to destroying and rebuilding the temple.

Who arrested Jesus and why was Peter not arrested for slicing someone ear.off?

Maybe Peter was just embellishing the story to the other apostles and got caught exaggerating.
Peter: "Man, you should have seen me swing that warning shot! It was sweet! Cut the ear right off that guy." Random listener: "you mean that guy? His ear looks fine to me" Peter: "Jesus healed him. Yeah, that's what happened! Jesus was always pushing that love and peace stuff." Random listener: *rolls his eyes* Peter: *walks quickly away*

I'm so glad to hear about the housing. It is sad, but you deserve to be free of harassment in your home.

Do you know the oldest Kingdom Hall personally that still exist today?

this kingdom hall was built in the 1960's and they still meet there.

The organization makes more money from a congregation that has taken out a loan (from the org) in order to build a new hall in the form of interest. And there are changes in the way the org expects ownership of the building to be structured that cannot be enforced on old halls. So the org encourages new buildings; I've noticed that it is more often in richer congregations.

Anything scary happen after you left or joined another religion?

i see i only get to post one thread a day so i'd better make this one count.. did anything scary or bad (besides shunning, etc.

) happen to you after you left?

what about if you decided to join another religion?.
Rocky_Girl

As described before by other posters, the scariest thing that I encountered was the overwhelming freedom. Sort of like a canary that won't leave its cage when the door is left open. When you grow up with all the answers and the assurance that you are correct, it is hard to accept that some questions go unanswered and even the most enlightened people have to admit that belief is based on faith and not facts. In fact, the most enlightened will be wise enough to admit it readily. I have been to all sorts of churches and synagogues and have never experienced anything scary as a result.
Unfortunately, it seems as though you have a fear of the supernatural, which is common in many fundie faiths like JWs. Try to work through your fears before getting into another religion so you don't get sucked in to another fear-driven cult. God, if S/He exists, doesn't need your membership card to the "correct" church to know you are a good person, just a good look at your heart.
Hang in there and take a deep breath. No need to rush things. Be happy that you are free and explore when you feel ready. Feel free to PM if you want to chat.

SEXAFS is related to x-ray absorption, if I remember right. I don't know the other letters.
How about PPP?
