Outlaw, God got down-sized because it was too expensive to pay him to sustain the universe. KFC and beer does that now.

I think the signs got crossed up. God was really trying to tell that other guy you ran into, that he should NOT be going to the meeting, but instead do something productive like getting your shopping done.

My issue with so-called "signs" is that there are far too many of them. If, for the sake of the argument, what you experienced was a "sign" then God certainly leads people all over the place. People feel spiritually led to MANY, MANY different religious groups and cults. Supposed "signs" lead them to these groups and if they leave that particular group or whetever it may be, any sheer coincidences are attached with some monumental significance that they should return.
My personal view is that if they are all signs....God doesn't have a clue what he want people to do. But I personally don't attatch any significance to them.
"it's human nature to see patterns in what are otherwise natural coincidences at best. When you were ever on vacation for the first time in a new city, did you drive by a kingdom hall and notice it? How many other churches though did you drive by and notice that you still remember? Probably way more than kingdom Halls, but you never noticed them and certainly didn't remember them, because you didn't attach any meaning to them. It's simply what I call selective awareness."
^GREAT explanation 'just n from bethel'!
