It's probably nothing.. but I have been seeing the number 43 whenever I look at the clock. At first, I thought that it was just coincidence that I didn't really think anything of it. However, I began seeing it more and more everyday. Sometimes, I'll be looking at the clock and it'd be, "11:43" then the next time I look at it, it's "2:43" then "..43" It's always 43. And I would literally see that number 90% of the time I look at the clock. If I don't see the number 43, i see 42, or 44. Is this something crazy for me to think about?

Some people think there's a deep meaning--see http://vic.australis.com.au/hazz/number043.html But what you're experiencing is a common phenomenon--you're only registering that you see 43 every time you look at the clock, but if you really kept track, you'd find that wasn't true. It's like if I said to you one morning, "Hey, lots of people are wearing blue today"--you'd start seeing blue clothing everywhere. Power of suggestion, very common among illusionists.

The Number 43

Well, I don't think it is evenly divisible, but who cares? Try looking at the minutes in the rest of the hour (17 min to 12). Maybe you are merely developing the sense of time. I rarely need a clock, having learned to do without, especially outdoors - but I find I'm usually particularly conscious of the quarter-hour before or after the hour. Or it may be what I call the Volkswagen syndrome - when you buy a VW, or other car, you keep seeing them on the road. Is "hang five" appropriate advice in the modern jargon? Of course, if you want to worry, I'm sure you could find some mystic authority to tell you it means something remarkable and probably gloomy!

well, this one website says that fourty represents "Probation, testing, closing in victory or judgment" and that three represents the trinity of god. So [figuring it could mean judgement] maybe either the world is coming to an end, or just you are going to die...
:P heh, then again, it could just be one of those things. I, like so many people, notice the clock on 11:11 all the time, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything other than that it's a number I've trained my brain to know I've seen multiple times, so it catches my attention more than another time might.

because people rather listen to there preachers instead of finding out what Jehovah Witnesses are about. you know it is funny. I have been a Jehovah Witness for almost 23 years and when I knock on doors, people do not act the way they do on questions and answers. I have never seen anyone come to the door naked or harm us. yes dogs can attack us. no I have not been attacked by a dog. I have never had anyone rude either. people keep calling us a cult. a cult worships a man, we worship Jehovah God. as far as the 144,000 if they would read the bible they will see that only 144,000 are going to heaven and the rest will be living here on earth. read ps 37 verses 10 and 11. it is also in the king james bible also

Umm, my friend had the same thing except with number '16'. I think it's just because you noticed it the first few times, and then you started picking up on it more and more. Like the person above me a little wrote "if you notice a few people are wearing blue, you'll start seeing more and more people seeing blue"
I don't think it's anything to be concerned about.

Yes. 43 is the universal number for people who think they found a pattern of some sort, but it turns out to be nothing more than coincident.

It's normal i think.. But it definitely freaks the daylights outta me... In chinese culture, 4 has the same meaning as death so you can see why i get freaked out when that number keeps popping up...
