So, after seeing the umpteenth "how does King Crimson work" thread, I started wondering about how other stands work. (BTW, King Crimson just works. That's the best explanation you're gonna get)

Heaven's Door: a form of hypnosis or subliminal messaging for the command writing, and an advanced Placebo effect for things like "I will fly back at 70mph"

The World: I think it actually doesn't stop time, but massively slow it down. When DIO punches people and throws knives in the time-stop, it actually happens in the time-stop and not instantly when time resumes. Also, I think the way he is able to get any momentum whatsoever in the knives when they should be slowed down massively is a combination of The World and Jonathan's strength, plus his own vampiric powers (if Straits could crush a tooth with ease its feasible)
