That's what they said in Heaven's Gate. Continuous happiness is a cult thing. God never intended us to go around happy all day long.
Rejoice in the Lord always, I will say it again: rejoice!
Give thanks in all circumstances.
Your praise will continually be on my lips.
....... I don't know what kind of happiness you are talking about, but it's clear that there is an attitude, a spirit, a mentality that transcends circumstances. We are to fix our minds on things above.
Just read the word. Comparisons to cults don't matter if you've got the straight dope.
