... I just love the cartoons you display on the screen, they make me laugh at times. I say to Marhyo,you are no ordinary person, you are the computer wizard itself. I will learn some day to use them.
Yes, they are called "emoticon faces" or "smilies." We like to use them a lot when writing. They help us express our ideas. If you look to the right of your box, when you are about to post, you get to see several of them. Maybe you could get "Marhyo" to help you put a few of them up in your next post. They can be fun.
Also, you mentioned above:
Jah has been sending all different kinds of people to me, ones that I must needs see into their souls and pull out their spiritman. Even this morning one neighbour who is a witness came to me complaining about her study group, for they dont believe in dreams. Joel 2-28 speaks about God pouring out His spirit, and old men will dream dreams, and young men will see visions. Yesterday I had another one who was wrestling terribly with the flesh and the spirit, so nothing that comes to me is by chance, it is ordered.
Your choice of
Joel 2:28 to make your point, is a good one.
You say she is a "witness," as in a "Jehovah's Witness"? Are all of these people Jehovah's Witnesses, that you are talking to? If so, then this is definitely Jehovah's Hand, getting involved. No doubt, Jehovah wants you to "witness," no question.
Well, we can help too. In fact, we have an excellent article [taken from our 90-Day Online Bible Study Course], already written that covers that very subject. I have it in the Announcement section of LWF Discussion Board. But, it is included in all of our 90-Day Online Bible Study Courses. If you think this particular person, your neighbor, who is perhaps a "Jehovah's Witness," would like to read this particular written material, then you could print out this article at home, and go to her and maybe even sit with her to show her a better, a more scriptural way to view this question of whether God performs such things and uses His Spirit this way, for us today.
This particular article, reveals a fatal flaw in the JW New World Translation Bible, which is at the "root" of the problem with the biblical viewpoint of all Jehovah's Witnesses. It deals with their understanding or misunderstanding of
1 Corinthians 13:8-10.

Let me know if you think, you can print this information out that's recommended above, and that you may be able to share it with your "witness" neighbor. If you could do this, you would be in a great position to help her spiritually-speaking, and maybe teach her many more things. (If it will help, you could tell your neighbor this article was written from a "Jehovah's Witness" perspective. It was written by a person who had "a Jehovah's Witness background." We use the Jehovah's Witnesses bible, the
New World Translation, liberally. Maybe this will help, but then again, may not. I can't say for sure.)
Also, just wanted to mention to you that we have added some highly interesting information to an already existing blog, which covers the topic:
Where Is Jehovah???
It can be found at this link:

Glad things are back to normal, and the power is back on in Jamaica
... Also hoping this info helps in your "witnessing" to your neighbor too.
