just the age for “potty talk”! I can well imagine many wondering the same thing!(do you even have to “go” up/down there?) Maybe the difference between Heaven & Hedouble hockey sticks is simply that heaven has them, the other place doesn’t…..
This question never occurred to me. I’ve been too busy arguing the question of whether our beloved pets will be with us in heaven. I say of course they will but the cat haters say no way.
If there are flowers and butterflies in Heaven, then you have to have birds, which means pets should be there too.
On the other end of the spectrum, you’re up to your lips in do-do and hoping nobody makes waves. Hence, no working toilets down below.
if you don’t think it would be heaven without your pets, i would imagine they’d be with you if you went there.
for those who hate animals, i imagine that your heaven would be pet free.
in my case, i have no idea what heaven would bring - and i hope to avoid finding out for a long, long time.
People you need to go to church or talk to a pastor. Pets don’t go to heaven. Only our heavenly body’s do. Just think no more pain or ailments. Me I am not ready.
And I’m sure there are bathrooms in hell too. The clogged, overflowing kinds. No matter how much you use the plunger and jiggle the lever, your “business” won’t go down. ^__^ lol
Macushla, Serena, Burgundy, Algurka, Wiseguy, Joe Allen: Well, given Heaven, OF COURSE our critter-families will go to Heaven! How could it be heavenly without them? In fact, I’m hoping even my critter-neighbors (Jane Doe and her fawns, see sketch to left; I never manage to get to the camera in time) will be there.
Coffee-Turtle, I’m with you, probably.
Kab2rb, I don’t suppose it has crossed your mind that different spiritual leaders at different places of worship might give different answers to this and other questions, or that some people manage to live ethically superior lives without supernatural intervention of any flavor. Or that it’s hubritic to presume to give others spiritual instruction unasked.
This sounds like a Confirmation Class kind of question. It made me think of Kenny Chesney’s “Everybody Wants to Go to Heave, But Nobody Wants to Go Now”. Another line I like is “everyone wants to go to heaven but no one wants to die to get there.”
The Bible is silent on the subject of pets in Heaven, so we can speculate all we want. It would be nice to know my pets will be waiting for me there, but I’m not going to base my theology on it. We’ll know soon enough.
I can’t ask my pastor or any of the pastor’s I’ve known since they all hate cats. They’re some of the ones who say no way. But I have two cats waiting for me on the rainbow bridge now and probably more to come if the Lord tarries. If it turns out I’m wrong about this I’ll accept it but I sure hope the Lord allows us to have the pets with us who were such a comfort to us here on earth.

In heaven you don’t have to. In hell, you never stop.
serenasakitty about 15 years ago
It wouldn’t be much of a heaven if there were no animals there. I don’t want to go if I can’t have my pets.
WyattMute about 15 years ago
If there is, then I only want to use them when I feel like it. Totally optional ; )

The best place on Earth is… Earth! :-) Animals, nature, human relationships! You don’t even have to die to get there!
Just need all the bad tenants evicted…

I know my animals will be waiting for me when I cross the Rainbow Bridge. The Bible says God is Love. What loves more unconditionally than a pet?
Re bathrooms in Heaven - yes. He** is the absence of them.

And having to use leaves. And all the leaves are poison ivy.

Hey, Macush: “If you have done it unto the least of these, you have done it unto Me.” So happy purring, and don’t sweat it.

When youre in heaven you wont NEED to use a potty. All your problems wont be there any more.
