666

[Spicy McHaggis]

I only started this in the Single's Forum because like LifeInYou mentioned in a previous post, It's Gettin Dead in Herrrr. (that's my Nelly way of saying dead in here).

Anyways, the conversation started when I logged in and saw the number of users online was (gasp) 666.

Which reminded me of a radio show I was listening to about the great lengths people go to in avoiding that number. Things like, omitting an item from your groceries when the total comes up $6.66. Then there were others that took the stance that "Geeesh, it's just a number, the devil has no power over you from it, and you can't get to 7 without it."

***seconds pass...

Okay, Kelly just came over to my desk here at work and mentioned that it just seems to pop up very often. I was like "Maybe a bunch of other numbers come up just as often, but they don't stand out because they have no affiliation with Satan" i.e. it seems to pop up more than other numbers because you notice that number more.

SO, what y'all know about it.

It's just a number.

As a side note, would it strike a chord with us if we saw the number 3.16, or 777 pop up?

Again, just some thoughts to stoke the fires of conversation...

 

[ZiSunka]

Nope. Those are just numbers, too.

Would it be the same if the number was III I VI?

Or VI VI VI?

It's just a pattern of numbers that rings an emotional bell, that's all. On grocery receipts and lotto cards, they don't have any spiritual meaning at all.

 

[Spicy McHaggis]

Cool, that's what I think too, but thanks for sharing.

Now, if some dude sporting a 2x4 with a nail through it was charging at me, and I hung around long enough to see that he had "666" tatooed on his forehead, I would take it as a warning.

So maybe it's a warning if it appears intentionally....

It's just a number. I used to be paranoid about that too, but I wisened up by asking myself, "What about the six hundred and sixty sixth time I blink every day, or the six hundred and sixty sixth step I take, six hundred and sixty sixth thought I think, word I speak, or note I hear in the day?" If seeing being involved with the number six hundred and sixty six in any way at all is thought as of some kind of satanic omen, then we'd be having some pretty paranoid people around here. Now if something like the above happens, then you've got some things to worry about!

The number 666 of course has to do with Revelation 13:18...it is the number of the beast and the number of a man...it is mysterious, yet we are invited by scripture to guess at it, as the verse tells us to "let him that hath understanding count the number.."

Many of the world's political figures have had names whose numerological equivalents come out to 666....from Nero to the Pope to Juan Carolos to Ronald Reagan to Bill Clinton to Prince Charles. My father who is a retired minister said that in one of his seminary classes the students came up with a numerology that showed the professor's name coming up to 666!

Numerology is very important in many secret societies...you probably know about all of the numerology coincidences that surround certain historic events, such as the 9/11 incident and the JFK assassination. I do tend to try to avoid the number if I can. I would rather have a grocery order that comes up to 7.77 than 6.66. But then again, 777 is just another number, which probably also has meaning in the occult world.

I am "number conscious"
Recently I wanted to ask my Univ. for a new i.d. number because the last three digits of mine are 666. Ahhh..i don't even want to say that or write it. Okay, i do need help!

There is no spoon.

I even had a hard time clicking on the title of this thread.......*sigh*

 

[Lotar]

It's just a number, but I do find it funny how often the forum has 666 users logged in

That's not a warning, that's a serious personality defect. You'd be right to run away!

I once had a phone number that ended in 666.
