Do you, too, see JW chronology numbers everywhere?

  I regulary look at my digital alarm clock and it says "19:14" and I think "Hmm, used to be the end of the 'Gentile Times'" Than I take a look at my number of posts and I have already passed 1914, 1918, 1925. When I look at car plates I get reminded of year numbers having been hammered into my brain. Well, this is not really serious, but I get always reminded of my JW past. I have to add that chronology was something important to me and Carl Olof Jonsson's book "The Gentile Times Reconsidered" was an important one for me. Do you know this phenomenon?

  Funny you should start this thread. I can't count how many times I've awakened at looked at the clock and it says 6:07. Freaks me out!!

  Yep, I get that too. Some people are more susceptible to this kind of thinking than others--it's really a mild form of OCD.

  hmmm, the only number that freaks me out is 666. The other numbers make me grin (607, 1914, 1975, etc..)
