Ender pearl from ender pearl chunk loaders reappear after broken

This has been happening to me for many versions. In my world I have many chunk loaders (Ender pearls in water which is being pushed up due to soul sand so that it doesn’t land, like a stasis chamber) When I don’t want them to load anymore, I place a block on them to activate the pearl. But when I log out and log back in, the pearl reappears, teleporting me back, no matter where I am, to the former stasis chamber. This happens multiple times, not just once. I’ll relog multiple times and the ender pearl will STILL reappear. I’m still trying to figure out how to fix this. The pictures I have attached are the result of me being teleported, including suffocating in blocks.
