50 days is not correct.
They were in the upper room 7 days or less.
there were 50 days from the time of the crucifixion or (passover) until the day of Pentecost.
Jesus was in the lower parts of the earth for 3 days,
The Bible also says that he was with the disciples for 40 days.
43-50 = 7.
It could be less because The Bible is not absolutely clear when the 40 days began that Jesus was with His disciples, most believe that it was from the time that He rose from the dead, but we can take into account that Jesus had not yet ascended to the Father, and had only appeared to His disciples 3 different times the first week after he was raised from the dead, and it was also a sabbath days journey from the place that Jesus ascended from heaven and told the disciples to go to Jerusalem and wait for the promise of the Holy Ghost, but a sabbath day's journey is less than 3/4 of a mile, so realistically, it is at most 7 days, and at least one day.

Is the Holy Spirit our helper?
Yes, the holy spirit is a helper. God's holy spirit is a powerful force for good, enabling those under its influence to display godly qualities. "The fruitage of the spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, mildness, self-control," says the Bible. By relying on God's spirit, we can also receive "power beyond what is normal" to deal with any trouble or distress. (2 Corinthians 4:7) While the holy spirit may not remove trials or temptations, it can surely help us to endure them. (1 Corinthians 10:13) "For all things I have the strength by virtue of him who imparts power to me," wrote the apostle Paul. (Philippians 4:13) God imparts such power by means of his holy spirit. How grateful we can be for the holy spirit! It is promised to those who 'love Jesus and keep his commandments.' (John 14:15)

What is spiritual baptism?
There are two baptisms of significant importance, one is baptism by water when one repents of their sins and covenants with the Lord not to sin again. He comes forth from the water as a clean person. Then there is the baptism of the Spirit, this is given after the baptism by water. This second baptism insures the recipient that the Holy Spirit will always be available to them so long a they remain worthy.
How long was the Holy Spirit's absence?

How would a Jehovah's Witness know if they are baptized in the holy spirit?
Matthew 28:19 says -Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit. The Holy Spirit is God's Spirit ,his Active force, It is not a person but is a powerful force that God causes to emanate from himself to accomplish his holy will.---Ps. 104:30; 2 Pet. 1:21; Acts 4:31. The expression "in the name of" really means "by the authority of" or "recognizing the position of." Hence, being baptized in the name of the Father means accepting without question the sovereignty of God in our lives. Baptism in the name of the Son means accepting Jesus as Redeemer, Exemplar, and King. And baptism in the name of the holy spirit involves relying on the spirit and submitting to its power. Hence baptism 'in the name of the holy spirit' implies recognition of that spirit as having its source in God and as exercising its function according to the divine will. Boldness in speaking the word of God, zealously engaging in the work of witnessing---these are what give evidence that a person has holy spirit. We must live by the fruitage of the Spirit. Gal. 5:22, 23: "The fruitage of the spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, mildness, self-control." It is this fruitage, rather than outbursts of religious fervor, that one should look for when seeking to find people who truly have God's spirit.
