    What reality takes precedence in heaven? My view of my grandmother or her own view? Or is heaven a bubble of reality for what each individual wishes most?

      Depends what you believe but many think of the concept of heaven not as a place where you see your dead family and pets, but more of a state of being including oneness with God. Sort of like nirvana. Or the Nexus if you’re a Star Trek fan.

          To be fair there’s nothing really wrong with the Nexus as long as you’re not destroying a planet with a pre-warp civilization to get there.

        I’m pretty sure JWs believe that heaven is like IRL and simply do not ask the obvious follow up questions because they are a cult

          They think that 144,000 anointed ones go to heaven, good JWs stay on a perfected form of Earth, everyone else is completely destroyed.
