Life After The Watchtower

July 4, 2010

What happens to those who leave the Watchtower after years of disillusionment?  Perhaps they were dis-fellowshiped or they just disassociated themselves to begin a new life.  Whatever the reason for their leaving, the question becomes … where are they now and what do they believe?

I am writing this blog because many of those who have left the Watchtower organization are still haunted (the effects of Watchtower brainwashing is a serious issue as personal experience has taught me) and perhaps lost.  There are some who have become agnostic or even atheists.  This of course is understandable and is one major side-effect of Watchtower mind-control. It is for this reason that my ministry has launched, and why I am writing this material.

There is a program that I host every other Sunday called, “Christianity 101.”   As a former member of the Watchtower organization for over 18 years, my ministry, today, is actually two-fold.  First, to help reverse the effects of Watchtower brainwashing, and second, to fill the void and hole that people experience once leaving the Organization.

I invite everyone who wishes to learn who God really is without someone looking over your shoulder policing what you do on a day-to-day basis.  Bring your bibles and get ready to learn how you can be saved, today, by accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.  The number to call and listen-in, ask questions, or just enjoy the program twice-a-month is: (712) 432-8710 pin# 9925 … Our next program is July 4th at 5pm PST.  All programs are recorded for your listening pleasure.  You may listen to each recorded program on this website.   You may also ask questions by text … my personal cell: (949) 678-7378 … or email me at: youdecide@cox.net … My name is Cochise Pendleton and I hope to see you there!

Who Is Jesus Christ According To The Bible?

May 16, 2010

The Watchtower Organization claims that Jesus Christ is nothing more than a created thing. I know, because I was a member for over 18 years. That said, is that true … is it true that Christ was only an angel created by God The Father?

In the Gospel of John, Chapter 1 verse 1, it reads: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” Verse 14 tells us who the Word (God) became: “And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.”

We find in the book of John, Chapter 8 verse 58, who Jesus Christ claimed to be. It reads: “Jesus said to them, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am.'” Jesus Christ identifies who He is, and who was that? In Exodus, Chapter 3 verse 14, it becomes very clear who He was claiming to be … “And God said to Moses, ‘I AM WHO I AM’; and He said, ‘Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, “I AM has sent me to you.”‘”

According to the Bible, Jesus Christ claimed to be God (I AM) and the Jews understood exactly what He was saying, because they then attempted to stone Him for blasphemy. That can be read in John, Chapter 10 verses 30-33.

Whether or not people believe that Jesus Christ was God in the flesh does not alter the fact that He was. The Bible is very clear on this point. The question, however, that needs to be addressed is why Watchtower members accept their leadership’s (the Watchtower Organization’s) teachings … i.e., that Christ was nothing more than an angel created by God The Father?

To understand why Jehovah’s Witnesses follow Watchtower leadership over biblical scripture, one must understand the Watchtower position on who they claim to be and represent. Once that is established and the truth of the matter becomes known, one can understand why members hang on to Watchtower theology so tenaciously.

This brings us to why I wrote my book — “The Bible vs The Watchtower (The Jehovah’s Witnesses’ Authority) You Decide …”  In it, you will discover why Watchtower members cling to every word they teach.  But first, read my mission statement (link below) to find out why I wrote the book.

THE WATCHTOWER PURPORTS DIVINE INFLUENCE …

February 15, 2010

The Watchtower purports that their organization operates under divine influence, and that they posses 4 divine powers bestowed upon them from God Himself.  These powers form the premise and backdrop of my book.

Millions of lives are in the balance.  Jehovah’s Witnesses, the Christian church, and the world.  I believe the world needs to know if the claims of the Watchtower are true.  If they are, the world must be informed.  On the other hand, if the Bible has something else to say on this issue, that too needs to become public knowledge, declared and projected throughout the world.

It will be up to you to decide, hence the title of my book: The Bible vs The Watchtower … You Decide
