Ebooks Online

In the year 1950, a bold invitation was published: %u201CThe Watchtower invites careful and critical examination of its contents in the light of the Scriptures.%u201D It is this call that forms the premise for the book, launching an investigation reminiscent of Indiana Jones%u2019 search for priceless artifacts; however, in this case, the author set on a quest for hidden or obscured Watchtower truths, which may have been camouflaged over time. The discoveries were nothing short of profound, and the reader should expect the unexpected!This book presents a unique, objective comparison of Watchtower doctrine and biblical scripture, while highlighting the importance of discipleship (sharing one%u2019s faith with others). The author also introduces a revealing look at foundational teachings by the Watchtower that are not widely known to Jehovah%u2019s Witnesses today. As such, the material will appeal to Christians and non-Christians alike.

Cochise Pendleton set out to write a book that would provide an antidote to the Watchtower addiction which controls even those who've left the organization. The last page sums it all up by restating the author's purpose in exposing the Watchtower's lack of credibility which in turn renders their teachings meaningless. I believe he accomplished his goal. As one formerly addicted to the Watchtower's pseudo Christian teachings, I agree that in order to accept any other biblical interpretation, the mighty wall of Watchtower authority has to come down first."The Bible vs. The Watchtower's" presentation as a "case" shows the qualities of an attorney's touch and in so doing lives up to the title which promises it's jury "you decide..." The scope of this jury ranges from struggling current and former members of Jehovah's Witnesses, the family and friends called to help and understand their addiction, and the body of Christ given the commission to share the true gospel of Jesus Christ with those who show up at their doors. The author offers tips on how Christians can go about sharing their faith respectfully with one of Jehovah's Witnesses and includes the story of his own spiritual journey as well. Among the variety of books authored by former members of this religion, Mr. Pendleton's stands out as unique due to the scores of Watchtower quotes and court case trial transcripts he managed to fit within less than 100 pages. It's concise size with such easily referenced quotes make this a valuable ministry tool for those engaged in reaching Watchtower members. I would also recommend it for church leaders equipping their members through small group studies.Julie McAllenformer member of Jehovah's Witnesses

While The Bible vs. The Watchtower does well in disproving the Watchtower's claim at being God's organization it does very little at giving an effective approach towards teaching Jehovah's Witnesses the truth. In my experience in discussing beliefs with JW's I have found that attacking the "organization" is the last thing you want to do. JW's immediately put up a defensive wall and stop listening to anything you might have to say. If you're looking for an approach at disproving the Watchtower's claim of being appointed by God then The Bible vs. The Watchtower is sufficient. If you're looking for material addressing their doctrine with scriptural evidence you may want to look elsewhere.

The Bible vs The Watchtower is a very informative and concise book. The Watchtower claims they are God's sole channel here on earth, the author proves the evidence and use's the bible, to back up the claims of the Watchtower, even using the Watchtower's own material to present the evidence, then you decide. I found it very interesting, well written, not bias you decide!

Bible vs. Watchtower is an easy-to-read and understand comparison of Watchtower and Biblical teachings.Before reading this book, I was unaware of Jehovah's Witness background, and from where they claim authority. The book presents the evidence clearly in a non-judgemental or condemning way. Though Mr. Pendleton is clearly correct in his findings, it is refereshing to become educated on a subject as sensitive as religion...on an objective "let the reader decide" basis.Very well done...excellent book. Would recommend to anyone needing a "look behind the curtain" at Watchtower teachings and what makes that organization tick.Ken PedersenGreen Valley, AZ

This is a good book for those who desire to lead the blind Watchtower followers out of bondage. We need to do more than just say not thanks and slam the door. That just makes the feel persecuted which encourages them on. Jesus died for them too, it is a difficult task and this book gives some great pointers to break down the wall their leaders have built around them.

This book is a must have to help all former witness move foward, and to persue a relationship with their savior JESUS. I love how the author exposed the organization regards to being Gods only instrument to people on earth today, and proved the organization to be a false prophet. Also, the authors compassion is fully recognized by the methods he explains and shares to witness effectivley to a jehovah witness. My goal is to win Jehovah witness's to Jesus, and this book is the answer to my prayers to being sucessful. Thank you for publishing this book well done!
