Gerdy, you're going to hurt his feelings.

9/11/01 occurred exactly 144 years after the Mountain Meadows Massacre. If you add up the digits in "144" you get "9". And then if you take the first digit "1" and divide the second digit ("4") into the third ("4") you get another "1". Put those together and you get "11". And a final amazing coincidence, "144" is the number of people, in thousands, that the Jehovah's Witnesses believe will be saved.

While serving in Palermo (the first city I was in on my mission) a pair of Jehovah's Witnesses knocked on our apartment door. My companion answered and noticing his missionary tag, immediately went into verbal attack mode. After they had impressed themselves, my companion nearly sent them into orbit when he told them that he was one of the 144,000. He argued that they (the JW duo) had said that only the 144,000 knew who they were, and that he (my comp) knew that he was one of them. The two then started to get a bit more aggressive and tried to enter the apartment and my companion opened the door a bit more and pointed to me and said: "Be careful. That guy right there is an assassin. We Mormons are here working as agents for the Government of the United States, under the guise as missionaries. In fact, all Mormon missionaries are actually employed as spies by the US government and the goal is world domination either by political, forceful or religious means. We don't care how we do it." The two then backed out and left the building. We never saw them in that part of the city again.

Nice story. I heard of spy vs spy, but this is the first of missionary vs missionary, or should I say, missionary posing as spy. Would be funny if it turned out they were spies posing as JW missionaries.
