Michele Colon Ruined Our Marriage Pt.1
Michele Colon has been very vocal about her membership in the World Mission Society Church of God. She created a website and also appeared in several articles telling a one-sided story: “The World Mission Society Church of God ‘brainwashed’ me and destroyed my marriage.”
Unbeknownst to readers, this is part of Michele Colón’s larger effort to incite the public against the Church of God by any means possible and blame the Church for her failed marriage.
I would like to present the side of the story that has not been covered yet: the story of Michele Colón’s ex-husband. Through his story, readers will be able to understand the series of events leading up to the present, the truth about their relationship and the role the World Mission Society Church of God played. After I read a certification that was submitted to the court, I reached out to Colon’s ex-husband, and this is what he told me:
Michele Colón and I met at a salsa dance studio. We had been taking the same class together and became dance partners. Michele was engaged to be married, however she ended up breaking up with her fiancé. Not too long after that, Michele and I began dating.
Our relationship was good in the beginning, but became rocky after approximately one year. Around that time, Michele invited me to the World Mission Society Church of God. I was a little bit hesitant at first, but I decided to try it out. Michele had already been attending the Church for almost two weeks before she invited me and had gotten baptized in the Church.
I was shocked by Michele’s invitation because she never mentioned that she had any interest in going to church before. Later, I found out Michele invited herself to the Church after overhearing her co-workers talk about attending, and was very enthusiastic about going to study.
When I went to the Church of God for the first time, I attended a worship service and did one Bible study about the Sabbath day after service. I was so impressed with what I had been shown in the Bible that I decided to become a member of the Church. I received baptism that night.
Michele and I continued attending the Church, kept a service on the Sabbath day and went to the Church at least once during the week to continue in our Bible studies. After being members of the Church for a couple of months, we came to realize that many of the members would stay at church for the whole Sabbath, joining in the services and then fellowship, study the Bible, or just enjoy each other’s company. It was more than a church, it was like a community center. At first it was all new to me—coming from a different kind of church, the type where you only keep service for an hour and then you leave. But after spending time with the members of the Church of God and studying the Bible, I started to realize that they really love God and understood God’s love for them. I found it inspirational and comforting, in the way religion can often comfort and inspire people.
During this time, Michele felt the same way I did and she had great things to say about the Church. Although she was the one who invited me, we both made the mutual decision to go to church more in order to understand more about God. As we attended church together, we were both loving it.
However, as with most relationships, differences arose. Michele and I had some serious relationship issues but, thanks to the guidance from the Pastor of the World Mission Society Church of God, we were able to stay together.
Michele Colón blames the Church for “brainwashing” her and former husband, and for “destroying” her marriage. But from the former husband’s story, we can see that he joined the Church at Michele’s invitation and enthusiasm. They also jointly made the decision to attend the Church together and more frequently.
In Part 2 of Michele’s ex-husbands story, we will find out how the Church helped him and Michele Colon stay together during their relationship problems.

I do not know Michelle personally, but I can not agree with her accusation that “Church of God destroys marriage”. My husband and I experienced many conflicts at the beginning of our marriage, but through continuously attending the Church of God, our relationship improved significantly over time. Many other couples in Church share similar experience. I have a very good friend who was on the verge of a divorce before attending the Church of God, now not only was his marriage saved, he just became a happy dad of a chubby baby boy! Church of God teaches unity and love among family members and the pastor always emphasizes that husband and wife should have a broad mind like that of Christ to embrace each other. I feel sorry that Michelle’s marriage did not work out in the end, but instead of blaming church, maybe she should reflect on her own attitude and behavior, to check that if she has really followed Christ’s example and put God’s teachings into practice. Christ never blame or accuse others. On the contrary, He took all our sins and transgressions upon Himself and endured silently. As true Christians, how can we blame others for our own mistakes? Let’s look into ourselves and repent!

I would like to ask Michele Colon why she lied about being “recruited” by the Church of God while she invited herself AND her husband? Also, she should not blame others because of her own decision. It was very easy for her to make up those lies but now that the truth came to light it will be very difficult for her to back them up.
Thank you for posting this article. -
its so sad to see some one spend so much time defaming a church. The love of god and love among members will prevail amidst those with malicious intentions. I hope she finds her peace and can move on with her life! The church of God is such a wonderful place with wonderful people, and every minute spent is always a joyous occasion!

Owning up to our own actions, it’s a sign of true growth. Whether we suceed or go through misfurnes at the end of it all, theres no need to blame others. I really hope many people are moved by this article in hope in realizing the truth than believing in the false accusations against the Church of God.

I’m glad I read this article because it proves that there’s always two sides to every story. I do not know Michelle Colon, but creating a website about her failed marriage, and blaming the WMSCOG just sounds like a waste of time.
The members that I know at the WMSCOG, including myself, admit that their relationship with family members has gotten even better, after joining the Church. It’s because they learn and practice to be like Christ.

This website and this article are some of the reasons why I truly admire the members of the World Mission Society Church of God. Like the word of God, they just seek to bring the truth of any situation to light…and light, as the Bible says, exposes the hidden motives of the heart. In any failed marriage, unfortunately both parties get hurt. However, the fact that this woman has held on for years to such anger and bitterness to the degree that she’s taking a private family matter and now publicly using it to try to force blame upon her ex-church..a church that clearly had nothing to do with it but rather is home to many happy families and tried to offer her help not harm… Michele Colon’s own actions speak to her addled state of mind now that both sides of the story have been exposed. Here we can see that the WMSCOG has nothing to hide. I’m so thankful to God Elohim that her ex-husband willingly came forward to share the details of what should have been a private matter so that now everyone can have access to the true account of what really took place.

As the saying goes there are 2 sides to the story ! The fact that her ex husband is still goes to the church proves more and more that the church has nothing to do with the ending of their marriage! Now is the time to speak up and im so thankful that we get to hear the TRUTH from our brother himself!! Personally speaking the church has been nothing but supportive when it comes to my husband and I. We have been able to continue our marriage happily as parents following the teachings of christ which is in the bible!!

This article is a perfect example of great ethical journalism. Often people who have marital problems always look for someone to blame but never themselves. But it’s weird that she is the one who invited him to the church. But when she decided to stop attending, I assume she became upset when he didn’t want to stop attending the church. I’ve known plenty of families where only one spouse went to church, including mine, but it was never an issue if the other continues to attend the church even if they don’t agree. I’ve been going to the Church of God for several years and I have never seen or heard of the church breaking up anyone’s marriage.

I am really so thankful that finally after all this time the truth has come out. I have so many friends who speak bad about me because I attend the World Mission Society Church of God, and the reason is because of all the lies Michele C. Has posted online. She makes a church that only encourages unity of family and teaches the importance of a family thru the bible look like they are breaking up families which makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
In actuality because of Michelle C’s lies she broke allot of my friendships, after my friends read the articles Michelle was posting they didn’t even want to speak to me. Please people don’t be fooled by her one sided story and see the truth for yourselves.
I really can’t wait to read part 2 of the article!
I have been attending the Church of God for over six years, I was married while being a member in the church and have a great and healthy marriage. I have never been so happy in my entire life.
FYI- My family is more united now then ever before.

By the way Michelle, why did you invite yourself to the Church? Please go back to dancing ¡Salsa!

I’m so happy and grateful that both sides are finally exposed…..how is it fair to hear only one side? The truth is always revealed in the end! It’s sad that Michelle chooses to blame the Church of God for her failed marriage! She should face the reality that she just couldn’t hold her marriage together….it happens……but why blame the Church? Everyone should be responsible for their own issues in their own personal marriages!

There’s a saying that goes, when you’re pointing the finger at someone don’t forget there are 3 more pointing back at you. This article shows just that. It is easier to blame those around when failure arises rather than to look within yourself. It’s so unfortunate that Michele Colon’s one sided (and untruthful) opinion has hurt or hindered anyone. However, I’m thankful now that Father and Mother have allowed the truth of this matter to surface so that everyone can see this for what it truly is and so that no one will be affected by her pernicious story.

For those who were in WMSCOG when both parties were attending Church and saw the end result of the aftermath it is an unfortunate situation but the record will be set straight, which is currently taking place, and the false claims on her behalf will be obvious to everyone as will the true reason behind all of her attacks.
1st Cor 7:15 But if the unbeliever leaves let it be so, the brother or the sister is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to live in peace.
Yes, Let It Be So – meaning = Leave / Go in Peace
Or, another translation –
Yes, It’s Really Over / O-V-E-R -
I’m so happy about this article because the Church of God does not break up families, but in fact does quite the opposite! Inside the Church of God is a true family. That’s why I make my OWN decision to spend my time there, not by force but by choice. I enjoy living my life according to the teachings of Christ, which I’ve learned only in this church. I believe the WMSCOG is an awesome church and there’s no place like it. So it’s sad to see one person making so much effort to speak ill about a church that only wants to teach others about salvation. However, the truth will be revealed and those on the side of God will receive Justice. I hope that those who have the wrong thought that the Church of God breaks up families read his article and see that people make up all types of exaggerated lies in order to hinder people from coming to our church. Michele Colon’s story is obviously biased and full of lies. However God will expose everything!
