A 666 stamped W-2 led to 52-year-old Walter Slonopas quitting his job, according to a Feb. 7 WFMY News report. Slonopas had worked in maintenance at Contech Casting LLC in Clarksville, Tenn. That all changed after his W-2 form was stamped with the number 666, which is referred to as the "number of the beast" in the Bible. After seeing the number on his tax paperwork, Slonopas resigned. In fact he said,

"If you accept that number, you sell your soul to the devil."

He was worried that continuing his job would damn him to an eternity in hell. It seems that when he began working on Contech Casting in April 2011, he was also mistakenly assigned the number 666 to use when he clocked in. He was supposed to be assigned 668. Ultimately, he complained and the number was changed. Unfortunately, that wasn't the end of the "number of the beast" for Slonopas. In July 2011, the company changed time clock services, and he got the number 666 again, and he promptly quit his job. However, the company changed his number and reinstated him.

Apparently this new instance of 666 stamped on his W-2 was just too much for him to take. In fact, he will not even file his taxes with the W-2 that has 666 stamped on it. He would like a new one issued without the number. The good news for Slonopas is that Contech Casting is mailing out a new W-2 this week, and they even want him to come back to work. Hopefully if he does, the 666 problem will not crop up again.
